Customizing Survey Instruments and Data Collection to Reach Hispanic/Latino Adults in Border Communities in Texas
Objectives. We sought to modify an instrument and to use it to collect information on smoking knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors among Hispanics/Latinos, and to adapt survey methods to obtain high participation levels. Methods. Promotoras (outreach workers) conducted face-to-face interviews with 1485 Hispanic adults (July 2007–April 2008). The project team used GeoFrame field enumeration methods to develop a sampling frame from househol…
On the Difference between Reliability of Measurement and Precision of Survey Instruments
Despite the importance of assessing the reliability of evaluative measures, there is a confusing array of conceptual schemes and coefficients for calculating “the reliability” of an item or scale. In particular, reliability may be conceived of and estimated from a true-score model or a sampling precision perspective. The former model is associated with such estimates as parallel or alternate forms reliability, split-half reliability, and coeffici…
Elemental Counterpoint with Digital Imagery
In musical counterpoint, separate melodic lines move simultaneously while making structural sense with their temporal neighbors and the overall musical form. The levels of control of abstract visual material now available through computer-generated raster graphics make it possible to establish a similar contrapuntal rigor with visual elements and to explore a structured method of temporal visual design. Building on earlier work in time-based colo…
Number as Form and Content
In tonal music, time passes through the interplay of harmonic forces striving for stability-tension to resolution, dissonance to consonance. Over the past century many new musical grammars have been invented and investigated with the aim of building temporal architectures with sound. Chromaticism has made possible extremes of harmonic, and consequently emotional, manipulation. From the late Romantics to the American conservatives to Hollywood fil…
Modern China
The China-Canada Student Exchange
LATE IN NOVEMBER 1973, twenty Canadian students (ten women, ten men) arrived in Peking to take up their studies under the terms of a China-Canada student exchange. The students had been recruited during the previous summer, but their arrival in Peking had been delayed nearly three months at the request of the Education and Science Group Under the State Council (ESGUSC) of the People's Republic of China. The delay had meant hardship for some, but …
