A 26-Year Study of Restraint Fatalities Among Children and Adolescents in the United States
Promoting a relational approach to residential child care through an organizational program model
We evaluated the impact of Children and Residential Experiences (CARE), an organization-wide program model implemented in 13 residential child care agencies in one Southeastern state. CARE implementation lasted three years and involved the application of six evidence-informed principles throughout the organization in order to create more therapeutic environments and improve the quality of care for children. A wait-list design was used with one co…
Improving relationship quality in group care settings
The current study examined the effects of implementing a new program model on the quality of relationships between direct care providers and residents in group care agencies. Children and Residential Experiences (CARE), an organization-wide program model that involves a range of structural change and staff-development activities, was implemented in 13 group care agencies in one Southeastern state. CARE implementation lasted three years and involv…
Attitudes Toward Genetics and Genetic Testing Among Participants in the Jackson and Framingham Heart Studies
Genetic analysis has become integral to many large cohort studies. However, little is known about longitudinal cohort study participants' attitudes toward genetics and genetic testing. We analyzed data from a survey of participants in the Jackson Heart Study ( n = 960), Framingham Heart Study ( n = 955), and Framingham Heart Study-Omni Cohort ( n = 160). Based on a three-question attitude scale, most participants had positive attitudes toward gen…

Factors That Influence Personal Perceptions of the Risk of an Acute Myocardial Infarction
Personal risk perceptions of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) affect people's preventive health behaviors as well as their beliefs during a heart attack episode. The authors investigated factors that are associated with personal risk perceptions of having an AMI. A random-digit-dial survey was conducted among 1294 respondents, aged 18 years or older, in 20 communities across the nation as part of the Rapid Early Action for Coronary Treatment (RE…

Does the promotion and distribution of condoms increase teen sexual activity? Evidence from an HIV prevention program for Latino youth
OBJECTIVES. Opponents of condom availability programs argue that the promotion and distribution of condoms increases adolescent sexual activity. This assertion was tested empirically with data from the evaluation of a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention program for Latino adolescents. METHODS. The onset of sexual activity, changes in the frequency of sex, and changes in the proportion of respondents with multiple partners were compared …
A Brief Review of Contextual-Effect Models and Measurement
The intent was to highlight the practical methods and issues of contextual analysis rather than detail the statistical characteristics of any one contextual model. There is too much emphasis in the discussion of contextual effects on forcing theoretical hypotheses into the single-level linear regression model. Similarly there is too much dislike for basic contextual analyses that avoid indiscriminately collapsing reality into a single linear dime…
