Don’t Abbreviate: An Experimental Comparison of the U.S. State Display Designs Commonly Used in Surveys and Forms
Forms and surveys often require address information, including state. State data entry fields in online forms typically use a dropdown where the user selects one state from the list. A review of online forms shows a variety of state lists used, with some including the state name fully spelled out while others use the state abbreviation, and still others use a combination of the two, like MD-Maryland. Through a series of three independent experime…
Spirituality and Sustainable Development: A Systematic Word Frequency Analysis and an Agenda for Research in Pacific Island Countries
While different in emphasis, spirituality and sustainable development are intertwined concepts that cannot be meaningfully discussed in isolation from each other. This is especially pertinent in Pacific Island countries that are characterised by both high degrees of vulnerability to climate change and high degrees of religious engagement. There is a paucity of research that examines the relationship between spirituality and sustainable developmen…

Be Wise: A complementary and alternative medicine health literacy skill-building programme
BACKGROUND: Health literacy has been found to be the strongest predictor of health status; and without adequate health literacy, consumers may not understand/adequately evaluate the myriad of choices available. Older rural residents tend to use self-prescribed complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies and glean information about these therapies primarily by word of mouth/media. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this article is to describe t…

Opioid-preferring participants in drug court: Examining participant characteristics and during-program factors associated with program completion
Drug courts are a community-based rehabilitation program for individuals with substance use and criminal justice system involvement. Building on preliminary research with this Kentucky Specialty Court sample, the study objective was to understand factors associated with drug court completion among opioid-preferring participants. Secondary data, including the participant assessment, Management Information System, and conviction information from a …
Preparing Scientists for Science Diplomacy Requires New Science Policy Bridges
Differences between the outputs of academic science and those of science policy contribute to a critical science-policy challenge — the inability of academia to sufficiently value either the outputs of the policy process as comparable to academic outputs, or the expertise required to maintain and develop policy. Few colleges and universities in the United States adequately prepare students to become scientists with expertise operating in science-…
Payment for ecosystem services programs in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest: Effective but not enough
Willingness of the Public to Share Geolocation Information in a U.S. Census Bureau Survey
In 2016, the U.S. Census Bureau conducted a split-panel experiment to explore the public’s willingness to share geolocation information within a survey. A sample of participants from a nonprobability panel were invited to take part in an online survey using their mobile device. Within the survey, one question asked for their address and then the survey requested permission to access their geolocation information. Depending on the study condition,…

Consequences of actor level livelihood heterogeneity for additionality in a tropical forest payment for environmental services programme with an undifferentiated reward structure
Respondent Debriefings Conducted by Experts: A Technique for Questionnaire Evaluation
This article explores the use of expert respondent debriefings to evaluate the quality of survey data. In this case study, subject matter experts observed 169 interviews and conducted qualitative respondent debriefings on select cases in a field test of a census coverage survey. By comparing "true" residence status for each person as determined by the debriefing against the residence status obtained by the questionnaire alone, the authors determi…
