A global priority for the behavioural sciences is to develop cost-effective, scalable interventions that could improve academic outcomes of adolescents at a population level, but no such have so far been evaluated in population-generalizable sample. Here we show short (less than one hour), online growth mindset intervention—which teaches intellectual abilities can be developed—improved grades among lower-achieving students and increased overall enrolment advanced mathematics courses...
There are many promising psychological interventions on the horizon, but there is no clear methodology for preparing them to be scaled up. Drawing design thinking, present research formalizes a redesigning and tailoring initial interventions. We test using case of fixed versus growth mindsets during transition high school. Qualitative inquiry rapid, iterative, randomized "A/B" experiments were conducted with ~3,000 participants inform intervention revisions this population. Next, two...
Anatomy teaching methods have evolved as the medical undergraduate curriculum has modernized. Traditional of dissection, prosection, tutorials and lectures are now supplemented by anatomical models e-learning. Despite these changes, preferences students anatomy faculty towards both traditional contemporary tools largely unknown. This study quantified student opinion on various aspects at Department Anatomy, University Bristol, UK. A questionnaire was used to explore perceived effectiveness...
The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) is the largest public health surveillance system in United States, monitoring a broad range of health-related behaviors among high school students. includes nationally representative Survey (YRBS) and separate school-based YRBSs conducted by states, tribes, territories, local districts. In 2021, these surveys were during COVID-19 pandemic. pandemic underscored importance data understanding changes youth risk addressing multifaceted needs...

For the 2023 national YRBS, CDC made changes sampling method, survey administration mode, questionnaire. Specifically, design added an American Indian or Alaska...
The authors examined whether paper-and-pencil and Web surveys administered in the school setting yield equivalent risk behavior prevalence estimates. Data were from a methods study conducted by Centers for Disease Control Prevention (CDC) spring 2008. Intact classes of 9th- or 10th-grade students assigned randomly to complete survey via Web. 5,227 analyzed using logistic regression identify associations mode with reporting 74 behaviors. Mode was associated only 7 Results indicate estimates...

Abstract Rotator cuff disease represents the most common cause of modern shoulder pain and disability. Much clinical literature on rotator focuses subacromial impingement supraspinatus tendinopathy, although other patterns lesions are also recognised. has received relatively little attention in palaeopathological literature, but signs relating to have been reported. Given variety that recognized clinically as disease, this study aimed investigate whether a similarly wide range could be...
BACKGROUND: School-based risk behavior surveys traditionally have been administered via paper-and-pencil. This study assessed the feasibility of conducting in-class online in US high schools. METHODS: A paper-and-pencil questionnaire assessing computer availability and perceptions was mailed to a nationally representative sample public private school principals fall 2008. Completed were returned by from 580 704 selected Prevalence 95% confidence intervals computed. RESULTS: Most schools at...
Degenerative joint disease (DJD) of the wrist (radiocarpal joint) is relatively uncommon in modern Western populations, usually occurring as a result trauma. Clinically, scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC) most common pattern DJD seen wrist, involving progressive destruction radioscaphoid and then capitolunate joint. There only one report SLAC palaeopathological literature. In this paper, we on another ancient case bilateral wrists, found Roman skeleton from Ancaster, Lincolnshire. The...
The school food and drink environment offers opportunities to improve pupils’ choices, with accounting for up 30% of dietary intake (1) . School canteens are often overcrowded chaotic, which may lead pupils choosing less healthy but quicker options. Interventions aiming adolescents’ behaviours have been conducted usually lack adolescent involvement can limited impact on choices (2) Pupil in design development more acceptable interventions (3) aim was explore potential secondary school-aged...
