Planners routinely deal with issues involving conflict, regularly engaging with people who may be upset, angry and at times aggressive.

This paper reports on interviews conducted with local government planners in Melbourne, Australia, in which they discuss their experien…

Annotation of video for learning provides tertiary education students with the opportunity to view and engage with course material in an active rather than passive-receptive mode.

Results From the 1995 National College Health Risk Behavior Survey
Results from the 1995 National College Health Risk Behavior Survey, which monitored health risk behaviors among US college and university undergraduates, suggest that many students' behaviors increase their likelihood of adverse health outcomes. During the 30 days preceding the survey, 34% of the participants had consumed five or more alcoholic drinks on at least one occasion, and 27% had drunk alcohol and driven a car. Thirty-one percent had smo…
Multicomponent, School-Based Strategies to Prevent HIV Infection and Sexually Transmitted Diseases Among Adolescents
American adolescents are at high risk for infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)—the virus that causes AIDS—and for the acquisition of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

Although behavioral science theories offer promise, effective interventions for preventing HIV and other STD infections have not b…
