Secular Trend Analysis of NHANES Data Suggests Only Modest Increases in Health-Related Lifestyle Advice Delivered by Health Professionals
Chronic non-communicable diseases are widespread in the US and exert a high burden on its society. Poor lifestyle habits contribute to this contemporary public health crisis. To address the prevalence of non-communicable diseases and related risk factors in Americans, we studied trends in US health professionals' delivery of health-related lifestyle advice. The major aim was to identify trends and long-term directions in the predicted probability…

A Randomised Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Administration of the Health Improvement Card as a Health Promotion Tool: A Physiotherapist-Led Community-Based Initiative
A randomised controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the administration of the Health Improvement Card (HIC) on lifestyle practices and biometric variables in community-dwelling Chinese participants. Adults living in Shanghai were randomly assigned to either the HIC-intervention or control group. Measurements/assessments were conducted at baseline and three-month follow-up. Supervised physiotherapy students administered the HIC and four standa…
The Gaze, The Glance, The Mirror: Queer Desire and Panoptic Discipline in Nella Larsen’s Passing
The sublimated queer content of Nella Larsen’s novel Passing has been critically excavated by such notable scholars as Hazel Carby and Deborah McDowell. Despite these interpretive revelations, howe
Advertising for Cognitive Interviews: A Comparison of Facebook, Craigslist, and Snowball Recruiting
Researchers commonly rely on relatively small convenience samples for cognitive pretesting questionnaires. Methods used to recruit these samples vary depending on the population of interest, study timeline, study budget, and other factors. Over the past decade, one method that has become popular because of these considerations is online classified advertisements (e.g., Craigslist ads). A concern with the use of this recruitment method is that it …
Culture as a variable in health research: Perspectives and caveats
To augment the rigor of health promotion research, this perspective article describes how cultural factors impact the outcomes of health promotion studies either intentionally or unintentionally. It proposes ways in which these factors can be addressed or controlled in designing studies and interpreting their results. We describe how variation within and across cultures can be considered within a study, e.g. the conceptualization of research ques…
Social Media in Public Opinion Research: Executive Summary of the Aapor Task Force on Emerging Technologies in Public Opinion Research
Public opinion research is entering a new era, one in which traditional survey research may play a less dominant role. The proliferation of new technologies, such as mobile devices and social-media platforms, is changing the societal landscape across which public opinion researchers operate. As these technologies expand, so does access to users thoughts, feelings, and actions expressed instantaneously, organically, and often publicly across the p…
The Effectiveness of Survey Recruitment Methods in Second Life
Online virtual worlds are 3D graphical environments in which users create avatars that live, work, and play—some are actual games; others are social networking sites. These worlds offer significant potential for expanding the study of social and economic behavior. One of these worlds, Second Life (SL), began in 2003 and now has more than millions of unique accounts held by virtual residents and approximately 800,000 users who log in each month. A…
Does this Avatar Make Me Look Fat? Obesity and Interviewing in Second Life
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has observed consistently increasing obesity trends over the past 25 years. Recent research suggests that avatar behavior and appearance may result in positive changes to real life individual behavior. Specifically, users may adjust their identity to match that of their avatars. Preliminary results of survey interviews in Second Life support our hypotheses that individuals whose avatars engaged…

Developing a Low‐Cost Technique for Parallel Cross‐Cultural Instrument Development: The Question Appraisal System (QAS‐04)
Many approaches are used to prepare instruments for multicultural administration, depending on the scope, schedule and budget of the study. Sequential questionnaire development, the most common approach to developing cross‐cultural instruments, is also the most affordable. Designers formulate and pretest an instrument in the source language, then translate it into the target language(s) using culture‐specific tailoring. In contrast, parallel deve…
