Program design features that can improve participation in health education interventions

Background: Although there have been reported benefits of health education interventions across various health issues, the key to program effectiveness is participation and retention. Unfortunately, not everyone is willing to participate in health interventions upon invitation. In fact, health education interventions are vulnerable to low participation rates. The objective of this study was to identify design features that may increase participation in health education interventions and evaluation surveys, and to maximize recruitment and retention efforts in a general ambulatory population.Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire was administered to 175 individuals in waiting rooms of two hospitals diagnostic centres in Toronto, Canada. Subjects were asked about their willingness to participate, in principle, and the extent of their participation (frequency and duration) in health education interventions under various settings and in intervention evaluation surveys using various survey methods.Results: The majority of respondents preferred to participate in one 30–60 minutes education intervention session a year, in hospital either with a group or one-on-one with an educator. Also, the majority of respondents preferred to spend 20–30 minutes each time, completing one to two evaluation surveys per year in hospital or by mail.Conclusion: When designing interventions and their evaluation surveys, it is important to consider the preferences for setting, length of participation and survey method of your target population, in order to maximize recruitment and retention efforts. Study respondents preferred short and convenient health education interventions and surveys. Therefore, brevity, convenience and choice appear to be important when designing education interventions and evaluation surveys from the perspective of our target population

VOF法による潜水浮体の波浪動揺と波変形に関する有限変位解析手法の開発

VOF法による数値波動水槽を使って浮体の波浪応答を解析する手法について検討を行った。これまで浮体は微小変位を仮定してその中立位置で境界条件を与えられていたが、本研究では、浮体の有限変位を考え、浮体の時々刻々変化する位置を求め、波と浮体の動的相互作用を解析した。本研究では問題を簡略化するため、水平方向のみの運動方程式を解く近似解法を採用した。このため、浮体の動揺を過大評価する傾向があり、それにともなって波変形にも若干の差異が認められたが、計算結果は概ね実験結果を良好に再現していることが確認され、本計算手法が浮体の波浪応答を解析する有効な手法になりえることを示した。journal articl

Laser action in ZnO nanoneedles selectively grown on silicon and plastic substrates

An ion-beam technique has been employed to fabricate nanoscale needlelike structures in ZnO thin films on silicon and plastic substrates at room temperature. The ZnO nanoneedles showed a single-crystalline wurtzite structure, the stem of which was around 100 nm in diameter. The sharp tips of the nanoneedles exhibited an apex angle of 20° as measured by transmission electron microscopy. Room-temperature ultraviolet random lasing action was observed in the ZnO nanoneedle arrays under 355 nm optical excitation.Published versio

Odds ratio (CI) for Coronary Heart Disease Associated with Genotypes of the <i>LTA</i> Gene in ISIS and Other Studies Using Recessive and Dominant Models

<p>(A) shows the recessive model and (B) shows the dominant model. Studies are of either the rs909253 SNP (A/G alleles) or the rs1041981 SNP (A/C alleles). The hypothesis-generating study [<a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.0020107#pgen-0020107-b005" target="_blank">5</a>] has been excluded from the combined estimates for all other studies that tested the hypothesised association. Size of the squares is proportional to the variance of the log odds ratio, and horizontal lines represent the 99% CIs, and the width of the diamonds represents the 95% CIs. The associations have not been adjusted for age or sex.</p
