  • On the Importance of Coefficient Alpha for Measurement Research

    Open AccessTenko Raykov, James C Anthony et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…2023

    The population relationship between coefficient alpha and scale reliability is studied in the widely used setting of unidimensional multicomponent measuring instruments. It is demonstrated that for any set of component loadings on the common factor, regardless of the extent of their inequality, the discrepancy between alpha and reliability can be arbitrarily small in any considered population and hence practically ignorable. In addition, the set …

  • Latent Class Analysis for Repeatedly Measured Multiple Latent Class Variables

    Saebom Jeon, Tae Seok Seo et al.ARTICLEMultivariate Behavioral Research2022

    Research on stage-sequential shifts across multiple latent classes can be challenging in part because it may not be possible to observe the particular stage-sequential pattern of a single latent class variable directly. In addition, one latent class variable may affect or be affected by other latent class variables and the associations among multiple latent class variables are not likely to be directly observed either. To address this difficulty,…

  • Mental Disorders in Megacities

    Open AccessLaura Helena Andrade, Yuan-Pang Wang et al.ARTICLEPLoS ONE2012

    BACKGROUND: World population growth is projected to be concentrated in megacities, with increases in social inequality and urbanization-associated stress. São Paulo Metropolitan Area (SPMA) provides a forewarning of the burden of mental disorders in urban settings in developing world. The aim of this study is to estimate prevalence, severity, and treatment of recently active DSM-IV mental disorders. We examined socio-demographic correlates, aspec…

  • Propensity score techniques and the assessment of measured covariate balance to test causal associations in psychological research.

    Valerie S Harder, Elizabeth A Stuart et al.ARTICLEPsychological Methods2010

    There is considerable interest in using propensity score (PS) statistical techniques to address questions of causal inference in psychological research. Many PS techniques exist, yet few guidelines are available to aid applied researchers in their understanding, use, and evaluation. In this study, the authors give an overview of available techniques for PS estimation and PS application. They also provide a way to help compare PS techniques, using…

  • Cross-national differences in clinically significant cannabis problems

    Open AccessFabián Fiestas, Mirjana Radovanović et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010

    This study's most remarkable finding may be the similarity in occurrence of cannabis-related problems in this cross-national comparison within the Americas. Wide cross-national variations in estimated population-level cumulative incidence of cannabis use disorders may be traced to large differences in cannabis smoking prevalence, rather than qualitative differences in cannabis experiences. More research is needed to identify conditions that might…

  • Early-onset drug use and risk for drug dependence problems

    Open AccessChuan‐yu Chen, Chuan-Yu Chen et al.ARTICLEAddictive Behaviors2009

  • Smoking estimates from around the world

    Carla L Storr, Hui Cheng et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2009

    The World Mental Health Surveys estimates complement existing global tobacco monitoring efforts. The observed global diversity of associations with smoking and smoking cessation underscore reasons for implementation of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control provisions and prompt local adaptation of prevention and control interventions

  • Toward a Global View of Alcohol, Tobacco, Cannabis, and Cocaine Use

    Open AccessLouisa Degenhardt, Wai-Tat Chiu et al.ARTICLEPLoS Medicine2008

    BACKGROUND: Alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drug use cause considerable morbidity and mortality, but good cross-national epidemiological data are limited. This paper describes such data from the first 17 countries participating in the World Health Organization's (WHO's) World Mental Health (WMH) Survey Initiative. METHODS AND FINDINGS: Household surveys with a combined sample size of 85,052 were carried out in the Americas (Colombia, Mexico, United…

  • The Adolescent Behavioral Repertoire

    Chuan‐yu Chen, Chuan-Yu Chen et al.ARTICLEBehavioral Medicine2004

    In this study, the authors probed the latent structure of the adolescent behavioral repertoire (ABR) and estimated its sociodemographic correlates. The authors drew a nationally representative sample of 12,797 school-attending youth from the 7 countries in the PACARDO region of Latin America: Panama, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic. On the basis of the Behavioral Repertoire Self Report scale (Jo…

  • The Pacardo research project

    Open AccessCatherine M Dormitzer, Gonzalo Gonzalez et al.ARTICLERevista Panamericana de Salud…2004

    This report sheds new light on adolescent drug experiences in Panama, the five Spanish-heritage countries of Central America, and the Dominican Republic, and presents the first estimates of school-level clustering of youthful drug involvement in these seven countries. Placed in relation to school survey findings from North America and Europe, these estimates indicate lower levels of drug involvement in these seven countries of the Americas. For e…

  • Behavioral problems and tobacco use among adolescents in Chile

    Open AccessLuis Caris, Marianela Varas et al.ARTICLERevista Panamericana de Salud…2003

    These findings help to complement and complete the evidence of prior studies on tobacco smoking among adolescents with behavior problems, including recent research on Central American youths. Although the magnitude of observed associations in Chile was not as great as that for the associations found in Central America, both the strength of these associations and their statistical significance were observed throughout Chile. This is the first stud…

  • Behavioral problems and tobacco use among adolescents in Central America and the Dominican Republic

    Open AccessKenneth Vittetoe, Marsha F Lopez et al.ARTICLERevista Panamericana de Salud…2002

    These findings are concordant with prior studies on tobacco use among adolescents with behavioral problems. Although the magnitude of observed associations varied according to the country of residence, the strength of these associations and their significance by conventional standards were observed in nearly all the countries sampled. This is the first study in these seven countries on potentially causal relationships such as these. More research…

    Li‐Tzy Wu, L T Wu et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1999Citada por: 7Referências: 27

    OBJECTIVES: This study builds on previous observations about a suspected causal association linking tobacco smoking with depression. With prospective data, the study sheds new light on the temporal sequencing of tobacco smoking and depressed mood in late childhood and early adolescence. METHODS: The epidemiologic sample that was studied consisted of 1731 youths (aged 8-9 to 13-14 years) attending public schools in a mid-Atlantic metropolitan area…

  • Association of school dropout with recent and past injecting drug use among african american adults

    Open AccessIsidore S Obot, Isidore Obot et al.ARTICLEAddictive Behaviors1999Citada por: 4

    We hypothesized that, among African American adults, starting and maintaining injecting drug use (IDU) would be associated with dropping out of high school, and that starting and stopping IDU would be associated with earning the general equivalency diploma (GED) after school dropout. Drawn from the 1991-1993 National Household Surveys on Drug Abuse (NHSDA), the nationally representative sample of African Americans consisted of 117 recent and 109 …

  • Drug Use Prevention Data, Missed Assessments and Survival Analysis

    Jennifer Bacik, Jennifer M Bacik et al.ARTICLEMultivariate Behavioral Research1998

    In prevention studies, researchers often investigate the incidence of initial drug experimentation or other drug use milestones and its relationship to individual attributes such as the level of parental monitoring or rebelliousness. In this case, survival analysis is the methodology of choice. Survival analysis methods deal efficiently with data from individuals who leave the study prematurely and do not return. However often individuals do retu…
