Investigating women entrepreneurs in creative industries
The importance of women’s entrepreneurial role has recently emerged in creative industries (CIs) literature because of the recognition of entrepreneurship as a significant tool for improving employability and enforcement of women artists and creatives. CIs provide a domain for women to build and sustain their economic empowerment by developing skills, finding jobs, working flexibly, achieving work-life balance, and generating income. This study s…
Alcohol use as a mediator of the effect of two alcohol reduction interventions on mental health symptoms of ART clients in Vietnam
We aimed to examine the mediating role of alcohol use in the pathway from the interventions to depression and anxiety symptoms using data from a randomized controlled trial among people living with HIV (PWH) with hazardous alcohol use (n = 440) in Thai Nguyen, Vietnam. Participants were randomized into either a combined intervention (CoI), a brief intervention (BI) and a standard of care arm. Both interventions were based on cognitive behavioral …

The Cost-Effectiveness of Adapting and Implementing a Brief Intervention to Target Frequent Alcohol Use Among Persons with HIV in Vietnam
Brain volumes as predictors of tDCS effects in primary progressive aphasia
The current study aims to determine the brain areas critical for response to anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in PPA. Anodal tDCS and sham were administered over the left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), combined with written naming/spelling therapy. Thirty people with PPA were included in this study, and assessed immediately, 2 weeks, and 2 months post-therapy. We identified anatomical areas whose volumes significantly predicte…
Implementation of two alcohol reduction interventions among persons with hazardous alcohol use who are living with HIV in Thai Nguyen, Vietnam
BACKGROUND: Hazardous alcohol use is detrimental to persons with HIV (PWH), impacting medication adherence and liver function, yet globally resources to target alcohol use behavior in this population are limited. Few studies have identified the costs of integrating alcohol reduction interventions into HIV care. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the costs of implementing and delivering two evidence-based behavioral counseling interventions targeting hazardou…
Perpetration of Intimate Partner Violence Among Men Living with HIV in Northern Vietnam
Depressive Symptoms at HIV Testing and Two-Year All-Cause Mortality Among Men Who Inject Drugs in Vietnam
Variations in the Role of Social Support on Disclosure Among Newly Diagnosed HIV-Infected People Who Inject Drugs in Vietnam
Decreased injecting is associated with increased alcohol consumption among injecting drug users in northern Vietnam
Effects of an HIV peer prevention intervention on sexual and injecting risk behaviors among injecting drug users and their risk partners in Thai Nguyen, Vietnam
Multiple imputation by chained equations
Multivariate imputation by chained equations (MICE) has emerged as a principled method of dealing with missing data. Despite properties that make MICE particularly useful for large imputation procedures and advances in software development that now make it accessible to many researchers, many psychiatric researchers have not been trained in these methods and few practical resources exist to guide researchers in the implementation of this techniqu…
The Long-Term Relationship Between High-Intensity Volunteering and Physical Activity in Older African American Women
EC volunteers reported a sustained increase in physical activity as compared with the comparison cohort. Baseline physical activity for individuals with a median propensity score was 420 kcal/wk for both groups. At 36 months, EC volunteers reported 670 kcal/week compared with 410 kcal/week in WHAS (p = .04). Discussion These findings suggest that high-intensity senior service programs that are designed as health promotion interventions could lead…
Return to post-test counselling by out-of-treatment injecting drug users participating in a cross-sectional survey in north Vietnam
Return to post-test counselling is essential for optimal individual and public health impact of voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) services. Our study assessed factors associated with return to post-test counselling among 309 out-of-treatment injecting drug users who underwent VCT as part of a cross-sectional survey in Bac Ninh, Vietnam during August and September 2003. The overall return rate to post-test counselling was 54% (n=167). While …

Using Propensity Scores Subclassification to Estimate Effects of Longitudinal Treatments
BACKGROUND: When using observational data to compare the effectiveness of medications, it is essential to account parsimoniously for patients' longitudinal characteristics that lead to changes in treatments over time. OBJECTIVES: We developed a method of estimating effects of longitudinal treatments that uses subclassification on a longitudinal propensity score to compare outcomes between a new drug (exenatide) and established drugs (insulin and …
Do the SF-36 and WHOQOL-BREF Measure the Same Constructs? Evidence from the Taiwan Population
Principal Stratification in Causal Inference
Many scientific problems require that treatment comparisons be adjusted for posttreatment variables, but the estimands underlying standard methods are not causal effects. To address this deficiency, we propose a general framework for comparing treatments adjusting for posttreatment variables that yields principal effects based on principal stratification. Principal stratification with respect to a posttreatment variable is a cross‐classification …
