Introduction and Validation of an Ecological Momentary Assessment Methodology to Measure Alcohol Use Among College Students
Retrospective alcohol use data are prone to recall bias, a limitation that could be addressed with real-time ecological momentary assessment (EMA) tools. We aimed to (1) introduce a simple (single-click) EMA methodology for collecting real-time alcohol use data, and (2) investigate the EMA methodology’s performance relative to established alcohol use data collection tools. In March–April 2021, we sampled undergraduate students ( n = 84) and colle…
The relationship between acquaintance with a Sars-CoV-2 death, positive Sars-CoV-2 test results, and sleep duration among college students in fall 2020
Background: The aim of this study was to test whether two SARS-CoV-2 experiences, knowing someone who had died of SARS-CoV-2 infection and having received a positive SARS-CoV-2 test result, were associated with shorter sleep duration among undergraduate students. Methods: An online cross-sectional study was conducted at a large public Midwestern university in September 2020 (fall semester). Self-reported average sleep duration and the exposures o…
The Relationship Between Household Microfinance Group Participation and Vaccine Adherence Among Children in Rural Western Kenya
Associations between hurricane exposure, food insecurity, and microfinance; a cross-sectional study in Haiti
Associations Between Personal Protective Measures and Self-Reported Tick-Borne Disease Diagnosis in Indiana Residents
Predictors of Tick Exposure Risk-Reduction Behavior in Indiana
Hurricane impact associated with transactional sex and moderated, but not mediated, by economic factors in Okay, Haiti
Age Moderates the Association Between Microfinance Membership and Physical Abuse, Relationship Power, and Transactional Sex in Haitian Women
Microfinance interventions may have differential effects on relationship dynamics among subpopulations of women. We estimated the association between microfinance participation duration and physical abuse, relationship power, and transactional sex in a sample of Haitian women ( n = 304). Furthermore, we tested for moderation by age. In older women, microfinance tended to be associated with reduced risk of violence, low relationship power, and tra…
Rural and Urban Differences in the Adoption of New Health Information and Medical Technologies
BACKGROUND: This statewide survey sought to understand the adoption level of new health information and medical technologies, and whether these patterns differed between urban and rural populations. METHODS: A random sample of 7,979 people aged 18-75 years, stratified by rural status and race, who lived in 1 of 34 Indiana counties with high cancer mortality rates and were seen at least once in the past year in a statewide health system were surve…
Health Education Training Embedded in a Microfinance Platform Associated with Safer Sexual Behavior in Haitian Women
Latent class analysis of symptoms for sexually transmitted infections among Iranian women
A preliminary symptom-based screening test would lower the financial burden of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) caused by clinical testing. To develop such a screening method, we should first identify the most specific STI symptoms. We aim to distinguish the specific STI symptom(s) that are most likely to be found in the truly infected individuals. We used data from a population-based survey that was conducted in Iran, in 2014. Using Latent…
The association between interviewer gender and responses to sensitive survey questions in a sample of Haitian women
Bias may be introduced in survey data collection when participants answer questions differently depending on interviewer gender. This could affect the validity of collected data, especially sensitive data. Using sexual behavior data collected in a 2017–2018 cross-sectional survey of Haitian women (n = 304), we evaluated the associations between interviewer-gender and three different outcomes: (1) question-specific response rates, (2) total number…
