Design Five domains (seven items) 12-item questionnaire (SF-12) were compared those same 39-item (SF-39). Data collected using SF-39 randomized clinical trial for the prevention of cytomegalovirus disease. Methods The performance SF-12 relative to was evaluated within each domain by comparing QoL scores at baseline and over time, assessing reliability validity both instruments,...
Abstract Background The supply of blood in many low‐ and middle‐income nations Sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) does not meet the patient care needs. Lack delay transfusion cause harm to patients slow rate progress other parts health system. Recognizing power implementation science, BLOODSAFE Program was initiated which supports three SSA research study teams one data coordinating center (DCC) with goal improve access safe SSA.

Virtual environments show great promise in the area of training. ALthough such synthetic project homeomorphic physical representations real- world layouts, it is not known how individuals develop models to match environments. To evaluate this process, present experiment examined accuracy triadic objects having learned them previously under different conditions. The layout consisted four colored spheres arranged on a flat plane. These could be viewed either free navigation virtual environment...
The impact various sources of stress have on family meal decisions and child health-related behaviors is an understudied area. For this study, 128 racially/ethnically diverse parent/child dyads were recruited from primary care clinics in the Twin Cities, Minnesota between 2015 2016.

Abstract Introduction In sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA), an adequate supply of safe blood for transfusion is a major developmental challenge. Ghana, deferral from donation anemia accounts nearly half the ineligible donors. We conducted longitudinal two‐arm parallel‐group non‐inferiority trial to test if iron supplementation among donors with deficiency (ID) or could increase their hemoglobin levels near those without ID anemia. Materials and Methods A structured questionnaire was used collect...
