Changing Attitudes
This study examined how participating in an elementary mathematics methods course influenced preservice teachers' developing mathematical identities, both as learners and as future mathematics educators. Specifically, the researchers sought to understand how the course structure, which emphasized discourse, hands‐on experiences, and practicum‐based learning, shaped preservice teachers' confidence, beliefs, and instructional perspectives. In addit…
Race and education in relation to stopping smoking in the US
Health education for pregnant smokers
OBJECTIVES. A randomized trial (the Birmingham Trial II) was conducted to evaluate the behavioral impact of health education methods among 814 female smokers at four public health maternity clinics. METHODS. Four hundred patients were randomly assigned to an Experimental (E) Group, and 414 were assigned to a Control (C) Group. Self-reports and saliva cotinine tests confirmed smoking status at the first visit, at midpregnancy, and at end of pregna…
The dissemination of smoking cessation methods for pregnant women
The smoking prevalence rate among adult women and pregnant women has decreased only 0.3 to 0.5% per year since 1969. Without a nationwide dissemination of efficacious smoking cessation methods based on these trends, by the year 2000 the smoking prevalence among pregnant women will be approximately 18%. This estimate is well above the US Department of Health and Human Services Year 2000 Objective of 10%. The US dissemination of tested smoking cess…
Correlates of obesity in young black and white women
OBJECTIVES. Although differences in obesity between Blacks and Whites are well documented in adult women, less information is available on potential correlates of these differences, especially in young adults. METHODS. The association between behavioral and demographic factors and body size was assessed in 2801 Black and White women aged 18 to 30 years. RESULTS. Black women had significantly higher age-adjusted mean body mass index and subscapula…
Misclassification of smoking status in the Cardia study
BACKGROUND. Although widely used in epidemiological studies, self-report has been shown to underestimate the prevalence of cigarette smoking in some populations. METHODS. In the CARDIA study, self-report of cigarette smoking was validated against a biochemical marker of nicotine uptake, serum cotinine. RESULTS. The prevalence of smoking was slightly lower when defined by self-report (30.9%) than when defined by cotinine levels equal to or greater…
