Snake oil Science
Every year millions of people flock to complementary and alternative therapists offering a vast array of treatments ranging from acupuncture to biofeedback to urine injections. Millions more purchase over-the-counter alternative medications, such as glucosamine, herbs, and homeopathic remedies. While consumer motivations for turning to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) vary, there is one common element among them all: a belief in their…
Demographic and Health-Related Correlates of Visits to Complementary and Alternative Medical Providers
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to ascertain the extent to which demographic and health-related variables are related to visits to a complementary or alternative medicine (CAM) practitioner. METHODS: This study reports a secondary analysis of visits to CAM practitioners during the year before the 1996 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (n = 16,038). RESULTS: Overall visits to CAM providers (9%) were lower than reported in widely cited s…
Health-Seeking Behaviors
Public and professional perceptions of the salutary effects of 17 preventive behaviors were compared via two separate telephone interviews. In absolute terms the public ( n = 1254) rated the majority of the behaviors as more important than the professional sample ( n = 103), although the exceptions were notable. Not smoking, wearing seatbelts, and drinking in moderation were all considered substantially less important by the public in promoting h…
Expected Grade in a Course, Grade Point Average, and Student Ratings of the Course and the Instructor
Comparisons of Letter Name and Letter Sound Training as Transfer Variables
What factors influence the acquisition of a reading vocabulary? Instructional variables which produce positive transfer to word recognition are not well understood, although they are widely manipulated in various reading programs. For example, programs based on a language experience approach assume that knowledge of word meanings facilitates word recognition. In contrast, certain basal reader programs appropriate early instructional time to learn…
A Factorial Study of Tutoring versus Classroom Instruction
Tutoring is one of the oldest variables in educational theory. Long before Emile, possibly before Plato, it was hypothesized to be superior to other instructional methods and class sizes. Despite this venerable history, tutoring as an educational variable has largely escaped empirical scrutiny in this century, due perhaps to its seeming impracticality. Despite practical constraints, however, supplementary or remedial tutoring is being increasingl…
