The objective of this cross-sectional study was to examine the relationship between healthcare professionals' behavioral responses to change and practice characteristics. Our study, which builds upon Conner's th…

A demographic–economic model for adolescent substance abuse and crime prevention
A demographic–economic model is used to estimate the impact of evidenced-based, substance-abuse social intervention that addresses delinquent crime. If ramped-up with more extensive financing, prevention would have many beneficial effects on drug and behavioral problems of delinquent youth. Historical data show drug use accelerates in the 14–15 year age group and peaks in the 18–20 year age group and then begins to decline until age 30. Over a 1-…
Classification tree analysis of stunting in Malian adolescent girls

Because CART has been used rarely to examine growth and…
