Journal of Applied Research on Children: Informing Policy for Children at Risk

Objectives: The aim of this content analysis study is to characterize the TV advertisements aired to an at-risk child population along the Texas-Mexico border.

Methods: We characterized the early Saturday morning TV advertisements aired by three broadcast network categories (U.S. English language, U.S. Spanish language, and Mexican Spanish language) in Spring 2010. The number, type (food related vs. non-food related), target audience, and persuasion tactics used were recorded. Advertised foods, based on nutrition content, were categorized as meeting or not meeting current dietary guidelines.

Results: Most commercials were non-food related (82.7%, 397 of 480). The majority of the prepared foods …

A Coordinated And Systematic Model For Adopting, Implementing And Maintaining Effective Sexual Health Education Programs In Schools, Stephen W. Banspach

Journal of Applied Research on Children: Informing Policy for Children at Risk

Getting evidence-based sexual health education activities into schools can be a complicated process. Working models that assist our educational system in the selection, implementation, and maintenance of effective school-based adolescent health programs are needed. Replicating sexual health programs in school-based settings: A model for schools provides a comprehensive and applied approach that engages all of the important stakeholders within a school district. The results from this study hold much potential to inform Texas and the nation about how a coordinated and practical model can assist school districts to increase the use of evidence-based programs addressing teen pregnancy prevention and sexual …

Hernandez, Christine Markham, Kimberly Johnson, Shellie Tyrrell, Robert C. Addy, Ross Shegog, Paula M. Cuccaro, Paul E. Deroulet, Susan R. Tortolero

Journal of Applied Research on Children: Informing Policy for Children at Risk

Introduction: US teens are having sex early; however, the vast majority of schools do not implement evidence-based sexual health education (SHE) programs that could delay sexual behavior and/or reduce risky behavior. This study examines middle school staff’s knowledge, attitudes, barriers, self-efficacy, and perceived support (psychosocial factors known to influence SHE program adoption and implementation). Methods: Professional school staff from 33 southeast Texas middle schools completed an internet or paper-based survey. Prevalence estimates for psychosocial variables were computed for the total sample. Chi-square and t-test analyses examined variation by demographic factors. Results: Almost 70% of participants were female, 37% white, …

Does Immediate Access To Birth Control Help Prevent Pregnancy? A Comparison Of Onsite Provision Versus Off Campus Referral For Contraception At Two School-Based Clinics, Peggy Smith, Gabrielle Novello, Mariam R. Chacko

Journal of Applied Research on Children: Informing Policy for Children at Risk

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of different policies on access to hormonal contraception and pregnancy rates at two high school-based clinics.

METHODS: Two clinics in high schools (Schools A and B), located in a large urban district in the southwest US, provide primary medical care to enrolled students with parental consent; the majority of whom have no health insurance coverage. The hormonal contraceptive dispensing policy of at School clinic A involves providing barrier, hormonal and emergency contraceptive services on site. School clinic B uses a referral policy that directs students to obtain contraception at …

Depicting Estimates Using The Intercept In Meta-Regression Models: The Moving Constant Technique, Blair T. Johnson Dr., Tania B. Huedo-Medina Dr.

CHIP Documents

In any scientific discipline, the ability to portray research patterns graphically often aids greatly in interpreting a phenomenon. In part to depict phenomena, the statistics and capabilities of meta-analytic models have grown increasingly sophisticated. Accordingly, this article details how to move the constant in weighted meta-analysis regression models (viz. “meta-regression”) to illuminate the patterns in such models across a range of complexities. Although it is commonly ignored in practice, the constant (or intercept) in such models can be indispensible when it is not relegated to its usual static role. The moving constant technique makes possible estimates and confidence intervals at …

Numerical Assessment Of A Venting System With Multi-Chamber Mufflers By Ga Method, Min-Chie Chiu, Ying-Chun Chang

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan

Recently, research on new techniques of single-chamber perforated silencers has been addressed. However, the research work on shape optimization of multi-chamber silencers within a compact volume is rare. Work on the maximal allowable back pressure of mufflers has also been neglected. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to analyze the sound transmission loss (STL) of a space-constrained multi-chamber muffler and to optimize the best design shape under a specified pressure drop. In this paper, both the generalized decoupling technique and plane wave theory used to solve the coupled acoustical problem of multi-chamber perforated mufflers are presented. The four-pole …

Pediatric Nurses' Death Anxiety And Level Of Comfort In Approaching Families Of Dying Children, Elizabeth J. Cook

Masters Theses

The purpose of this study is to examine how demographics; bereavement education; personal death anxiety; and frequency of interaction with death and dying; impact the level of comfort pediatric nurses have in approaching families of dying children. Watson’s Theory of Human Caring (n.d.) and the Quality Caring Model (Duffy & Hoskins, 2003) provide the theoretical framework for nursing actions and outcomes. The convenience sample of 165 pediatric nurses comes from a metropolitan children’s hospital population of 425 pediatric nurses. Nurses are recruited by a mass e-mail to their work e-mails with a link to the online survey. Nurses’ comfort level …
