Results

combined data: mobileDNA and P3b amplitude

The more average daily time spent on smartphone using social media, the lower amplitude in P3b

component is in the phone vibration and no-distrator condition.

N=26

Vibration: p=0.010*

Neutral: p=0.088

No-distraction: p=0.060

Results

combined data: mobileDNA and P3a latency

The more average daily time spent on smartphone using social media, the longer the latency in P3a

component is in response to the phone vibration and neutral sounds.

N=26

Vibration Sound: p= 0.025*

Neutral Sound: p=0.014*

Agreement found between self-reported and health insurance data on physician visits comparing differ...

November 2016 · Journal of Clinical Epidemiology

Objective: To analyse the impact of different recall lengths on agreement between self-reported physician visits and those documented in health insurance data applying an experimental design. Study design and setting: We randomly assigned 432 patients with diabetes to one of two versions of a written survey, each asking about the number of physician visits over a 3 or 6 month recall period. ... [Show full abstract] Health insurance data were linked individually. Results: In both groups, the mean number of self-reported physician visits per month was lower than in the insurance data, with a larger difference in the 6 month group (-0.9; 95% CI -1.0; -0.7) than in the 3 month group (-0.5; -0.7; -0.2), difference between the two groups: 0.4 ( 0.1-0.7; p=0.009). The percentage of participants with correct reporting was small and did not differ largely between the two groups (6.5% and 9.3%). However, there was more overreporting in the 3 month group (25.6% vs 11.1%). Conclusions: Shorter recall periods may produce more accurate results when estimating the mean number of physician visits. However, this may be driven not by a more accurate reporting, but by a higher proportion of respondents that overreported and a lower proportion of respondents that underreported, when compared to the longer reporting period.

Chapter

An empirical analysis of the alignment-performance link in PSM

January 2008

Christian Baier

The previous chapter developed a conceptual model of the alignment-performance link in PSM. This chapter will now describe the empirical approach to be applied to test this model and examine the results based on deviation score analysis. In section 4.1, the research methodology including research concept and study design, data collection approach and survey design, and descriptive statistics will ... [Show full abstract] be presented. Next, data hygiene will be conducted, construct measures operationalized, and psychometric analysis performed. The remainder of section 4.2 will test the developed hypotheses and present the results. Last, the findings from the analysis will be discussed in section 4.3.

Strengthening Gynecologic Cancer Prevention Studies

January 2008 · Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America

Deirdre A Hill

This article describes the elements in the design of cancer-prevention trials and the skills needed to evaluate the study outcomes in this field. Efforts to prevent gynecologic malignancies face some methodological challenges common to other cancer-prevention studies, such as choice of study design, population to be studied, and agent to be administered (or intervention to be made). Flaws in ... [Show full abstract] making these choices or in analyzing results can lead to misattribution of effects or cause important findings to be overlooked. In addition, some investigators must address issues that have arisen in response to prevention-trial results from the past decade. Cancer prevention efforts have recently suffered some well-publicized and not-so-well publicized setbacks. The prominence of some of these findings should not overshadow well-established achievements and recent successes.
