Metacognitive judgment formation during map learning
Disadvantage and the experience of treatment for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB)
In the present research, we aimed to demonstrate how exploring patients’ treatment experiences may help decision makers better understand and pay attention to social impacts of health interventions. We take multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) as a paradigm case of a disease that disproportionately affects people already living with disadvantage and for which treatment itself is extremely burdensome. We conducted a total of 140 in-depth int…
Cognitive responses to urban environments
Rethinking resistance
Public health professionals may be confronted with unique ethical challenges in outbreak response situations. We conducted interviews with twenty-two public health professionals involved in responses to the 2014–2015 Ebola epidemic in Sierra Leone and Liberia to explore how they understood and experienced the ethical challenges involved in this work. The concerns covered in these interviews ranged dramatically, but three themes emerged as unique …
Exerting cognitive control under threat
Individuals with stressful occupations, such as law enforcement and military personnel, are required to operate in high stakes environments that can be simultaneously physically and emotionally demanding. These individuals are tasked with maintaining peak performance under stressful and often unpredictable conditions, exerting high levels of cognitive control to sustain attention and suppress task-irrelevant actions. Previous research has shown t…
Interaction Strategies for Effective Augmented Reality Geo-Visualization
Standalone augmented reality (AR) systems have great potential for interactive three-dimensional (3D) geo-visualization. Emerging head-worn AR technologies can display rich graphical imagery of large-scale environments and permit intuitive interaction through gestural and voice inputs. Yet, how users engage in geo-visualization through these interfaces and what interaction strategies yield the best spatial memory and navigation performance remain…
Integrating social justice concerns into economic evaluation for healthcare and public health
Of Parachutes and Participant Protection
There are several reasons to believe that Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) and Human Research Protection Programs (HRPPs) contribute to ethical research and the protection of research participants, but there are also important reasons to interrogate this belief. Determining whether IRBs and HRPPs "work" requires empirical evaluation of whether and how well they actually achieve what they were designed to do. In other words, it is critical to ex…
Systemic Factors and Barriers That Hamper Adequate Data Collection on the HIV Epidemic and Its Associated Inequalities in Countries With Long-Term Armed Conflicts
Although advances in treatment and diagnosis have transformed HIV into a chronic disease in high-income countries, a spectrum of structural, political, sociocultural, and health system barriers hamper early diagnosis and timely treatment of HIV in many middle- and low-income countries. In most Latin American countries, in spite of the great improvement in access to antiretroviral therapy, a large proportion of individuals infected with HIV do not…
The impact of uncertain threat on affective bias
Individuals who operate under highly stressful conditions (e.g., military personnel and first responders) are often faced with the challenge of quickly interpreting ambiguous information in uncertain and threatening environments. When faced with ambiguity, it is likely adaptive to view potentially dangerous stimuli as threatening until contextual information proves otherwise. One laboratory-based paradigm that can be used to simulate uncertain th…

Provision of Community‐wide Benefits in Public Health Intervention Research
Background: This article describes the types of community‐wide benefits provided by investigators conducting public health research in South Asia as well as their self‐reported reasons for providing such benefits. Methods: We conducted 52 in‐depth interviews to explore how public health investigators in low‐resource settings make decisions about the delivery of ancillary care to research subjects. In 39 of the interviews respondents described pro…
Ancillary Care in Public Health Intervention Research in Low-Resource Settings
Little is known about researchers' practices regarding the provision of ancillary care (AC) in public health intervention studies they have conducted and the factors that influence their decisions about whether to provide ancillary care in low-resource settings. We conducted 52 in-person in-depth interviews with public health researchers. Data analysis was iterative and led to the identification of themes and patterns among themes. We found that …
Ancillary Care in Community-Based Public Health Intervention Research
Community-based public health intervention research in developing countries typically takes place not in clinics but in people's homes and other living spaces. Research subjects and their communities may lack adequate nutrition, clean water, sanitation, and basic preventive and therapeutic services. Researchers often encounter unmet health needs in their interactions with individual subjects and need ethical guidelines to help them decide how to …
When You and I Share Perspectives
Readers mentally simulate the objects and events described in narratives. One common assumption is that readers mentally embody an actor's perspective; alternatively, readers might mentally simulate events from an external “onlooker” perspective. Two experiments examined the role of pronouns in modulating a reader's adopted perspective when comprehending simple event sentences. Experiment 1 demonstrated that readers embody an actor's perspective …
Inclusion of Women, Minorities, and Children in Clinical Trials
IN AN ATTEMPT TO ENCOURAGE INCLUSION of women, minorities, and children in clinical trials, the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) requires investigators conducting NIH-sponsored research to adequately address NIH inclusion guidelines concerning recruitment of women, minorities, and children. A survey of U.S. Research Ethics Board (REB) administrators at institutions receiving NIH funding indicated awareness and implementation of the inclus…

Purpose and Benefits of Early Phase Cancer Trials
CANCER PATIENTS OVERESTIMATE BENEFITS of early phase trials but studies have not reported what oncologists say to patients about trials. We audiotaped oncologists talking to cancer patients about Phase I or II trials and interviewed patients about the purpose and expected outcomes of trials presented to them. Oncologists gave mixed messages, saying Phase I trials measure safety and dosing, yet referring to trials as treatment with uncertain thera…
