This study assessed the accuracy of telephone and Internet surveys probability samples non-probability American adults by comparing aggregate survey results against benchmarks. The sample were consistently more accurate than surveys, even after post-stratification with demographics. measurements much variable in their accuracy, both across measures within a single measure. Post-stratification improved overall some but decreased others. Higher completion response rates associated less...
Introduction: A multicenter prospective study was designed and implemented to assess the short‐ longer‐term results risks associated with radiofrequency (RF) ablation in children. Methods Results: Patients recruited for were aged 0 16 years supraventricular tachycardia due accessory pathways or AV nodal reentrant (AVNRT), excluding patients nontrivial congenital heart disease. national registry also established, contributing centers encouraged enroll all pediatric patients, 21 years,...
Two prospective longitudinal studies of nationally representative samples students with disabilities—the Special Education Elementary Longitudinal Study and the National Transition Study–2—are used to provide a broad look at participation parents 11- through 19-year-old disabilities in Individualized Plan/transition planning meetings their satisfaction involvement them. Students’ attendance roles played transition are also examined. Logistic regression analyses identify disability...
The ovulatory menstrual cycle is characterized by hormonal fluctuations that influence physiological systems and functioning. Multi-sensor wearable devices can be sensitive tools capturing cycle-related features pertinent to women's health research. This study used the Oura ring track changes in sleep related features, also tracked self-reported daily functioning symptoms across regular, healthy cycle.Twenty-six women (age, mean (SD): 24.4 (1.1 years)) with cycles (length, 28.57 (3.8 days))...
<h3>Background</h3> The efficacy of bupropion hydrochloride sustained release (SR) (Zyban) for smoking cessation has been evaluated in clinical trials that included frequent in-person behavioral counseling, but not actual practice settings. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine the differential effectiveness 2 doses SR combination with interventions minimal to moderate intensity an setting. <h3>Design</h3> Open-label randomized trial, 1 year follow-up. <h3>Setting</h3> A large health system (Group...
Patient adherence to smoking cessation medications can impact their effectiveness. It is important understand the extent which prescribed are actually taken by smokers, how this influences outcomes, and what factors may influence adherence. Smokers recruited from a large health plan were randomized receive different modes of counseling in combination with varenicline (Swan, G. E., McClure, J. B., Jack, L. M., Zbikowski, S. Javitz, H. S., Catz, L., et al. 2010.Behavioral treatment for...
Varenicline may be associated with greater mood disturbance and side-effects among smokers psychiatric history, but empirical evidence is limited. Differential treatment effectiveness by history also exist.To compare mood, prevalence intensity of side-effects, abstinence people a probable major depression (DH+) or not (DH-) who took varenicline received behavioral smoking cessation treatment.Smokers participated in randomized intervention trial. Treatment outcomes were compared between DH+...
Objective To evaluate the association of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with 7-day point prevalence abstinence (abstinence) in randomized clinical trials smoking cessation therapies individuals grouped by pharmacotherapy randomization to inform development personalized therapy. Materials and methods We quantified four SNPs at three nAChRs eight trials. Participants were 2633 outpatient treatment-seeking, self-identified European ancestry least...
This study used propensity score techniques to assess the relationship between transition planning participation and goal-setting college enrollment among youth with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Using data from Waves 1 through 5 of National Longitudinal Transition Study–2, this found that 2- or 4-year rates were significantly higher ASDs who participated in those had a primary goal enrollment. Educational implications are discussed.
Phone counseling has become standard for behavioral smoking cessation treatment. Newer options include Web and integrated phone-Web No prior research, to our knowledge, systematically compared the effectiveness of these three treatment modalities in a randomized trial. Understanding how utilization varies by mode, impact on outcomes, predictors across each mode could lead improved treatments.One thousand two hundred participants were phone, Web, or combined Services varied modality tracked...
Using data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study–2, this study considers (a) extent to which socioeconomic status (SES) of youth with disabilities predicted their likelihood high school graduation, postsecondary education enrollment, and employment; (b) other individual family factors mediated SES–outcome relationships; (c) that significantly explained outcome variations for disabilities. Results show SES had a statistically significant but relatively small effect on outcomes,...
The authors of this article analyzed data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 to determine effect receiving transition planning education and having a plan that specified needed postsecondary accommodations on receipt disability-specific services generally available supports at level by students with disabilities. Propensity model analyses indicated both variables significantly increased odds disabilities would receive 2-year institutions. In addition, plans specifying were...
To investigate age-related differences in polysomnographic and sleep electroencephalographic (EEG) measures, considering sex, pubertal stage, ethnicity, scalp topography a large group of adolescents the National Consortium on Alcohol NeuroDevelopment Adolescence (NCANDA). Following an adaptation/clinical screening night, 141 healthy (12–21 y, 64 girls) had recordings, from which staging EEG measures were derived. The setting was SRI International Human Sleep Laboratory University Pittsburgh...
Purpose: Rapid depletion of white blood cells, platelets, and reticulocytes are hallmarks hematopoietic injury acute radiation syndrome (H-ARS) and, if left untreated, can lead to severe health consequences including death. While the granulocyte colony stimulating factors (G-CSF) filgrastim (Neupogen®), pegfilgrastim (Neulasta®), sargramostim (Leukine®) approved increase survival in patients exposed a myelosuppressive dose radiation, no medical countermeasure is currently available for...
To date, only one study has been published on individual characteristics associated with outcome following standard treatment bupropion SR for smoking cessation. investigate beyond the 6-week end-of-treatment point, present examined more clinically relevant endpoints in a large health care system. A total of 1,524 smokers (649 men and 875 women) average age 45.1 years were randomized to receive four combinations (150 or 300 mg) behavioral counseling (tailored mailings proactive telephone...
Retrospective assessment of tobacco use underlies much the data collected in epidemiological and genetic research. Although individuals are asked to report lifetime for periods spanning months decades, test-retest reliability intervals instruments often span only a few weeks several months. The present analyses examined retrospective measures, including details first use, circumstances initial subjective reactions. questions were part Lifetime Tobacco Use Questionnaire (LTUQ), Web-based...
Metabolic enzyme variation and other patient environmental characteristics influence smoking behaviors, treatment success, risk of related disease. Population-specific in metabolic genes contributes to challenges developing optimizing pharmacogenetic interventions. We applied a custom genome-wide genotyping array for addiction research (Smokescreen), three laboratory-based studies nicotine metabolism with oral or venous administration labeled cotinine, model multiple populations. The trans...
