The document summarizes results from the CDC's text messaging pilot program for delivering public health information. It found that 87% of participants were satisfied with the messages, with 91% finding them easy to understand. It provided recommendations to improve the program, such as tailoring messages to specific audiences and stopping abbreviations. The CDC is continuing to enhance the program through more interactivity and targeting messages based on user demographics and health interests.

Discussion Topic:
In Chapter 3 of your textbook, various methodological techniques for studying the social world are discussed. A key aspect of sociological research is utilizing the power of observation. Applying what you have learned about sociological research: First, discuss the role of observational research as a key methodology for studying society. Second, utilizing nonparticipant observation, participant observation, ethnography or netnography observe and record a detailed account of a social context or virtual social context that you are no stranger to (think local coffee shop, shopping mall, church or night club, a blog, twitter feed, or Instagram) from a sociological perspective. Be careful to be objective and ethically neutral. Do not include judgments or opinions of behaviors but rather, as best as possible, systematic observations. Third, discuss how a common-sense view of that social setting may look different from a sociological one. Does looking through the lens of sociological research methodology transform how that social space may be viewed. Substantiate your views. Fourth and finally, post a response to another classmate's posting discussing your thoughts in a respectful and thoughtful manner. What stood out to you about their observations and the behaviors occurring?

Attitudes towards the use and acceptance of
eHealth technologies: a case study of older adults
living with chronic pain and implications for rural
healthcare
Margaret Currie1†, Lorna J Philip2*† and Anne Roberts3
Abstract
Background: Providing health services to an ageing population is challenging, and in rural areas even more so. It is
expensive to provide high quality services to small populations who are widely dispersed; staff and patients are
often required to travel considerable distances to access services, and the economic downturn has created a
climate where delivery costs are under constant review. There is potential for technology to overcome some of
these problems by decreasing or ceasing the need for patients and health professionals to travel to attend/de.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the structure and function of taste buds.
Describe the relationship between the taste threshold and taste index of common substances.
Explain the chemical basis and signal transduction of taste perception for each type of primary taste sensation.
Recognize different abnormalities of taste perception and their causes.
Key Topics:
Significance of Taste Sensation:
Differentiation between pleasant and harmful food
Influence on behavior
Selection of food based on metabolic needs
Receptors of Taste:
Taste buds on the tongue
Influence of sense of smell, texture of food, and pain stimulation (e.g., by pepper)
Primary and Secondary Taste Sensations:
Primary taste sensations: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Umami
Chemical basis and signal transduction mechanisms for each taste
Taste Threshold and Index:
Taste threshold values for Sweet (sucrose), Salty (NaCl), Sour (HCl), and Bitter (Quinine)
Taste index relationship: Inversely proportional to taste threshold
Taste Blindness:
Inability to taste certain substances, particularly thiourea compounds
Example: Phenylthiocarbamide
Structure and Function of Taste Buds:
Composition: Epithelial cells, Sustentacular/Supporting cells, Taste cells, Basal cells
Features: Taste pores, Taste hairs/microvilli, and Taste nerve fibers

Found in papillae of the tongue (Fungiform, Circumvallate, Foliate)
Also present on the palate, tonsillar pillars, epiglottis, and proximal esophagus
Mechanism of Taste Stimulation:
Interaction of taste substances with receptors on microvilli
Signal transduction pathways for Umami, Sweet, Bitter, Sour, and Salty tastes
Taste Sensitivity and Adaptation:
Decrease in sensitivity with age
Rapid adaptation of taste sensation

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Editor's Notes
In September, 2009, CDC launched a text messaging pilot to reach users with important health messages when and where they need them. Users receive three health messages a week with links to CDC’s mobile Web site, http://m.cdc.gov and a click-to-call phone number for CDC national call center.Although the pilot began as a way to communicate critical information about H1N1 flu, it quickly evolved to address important health issues such as smoking cessation, nutrition & physical activity awareness, STD information, and food outbreaks. To date, we have more than 16,000 subscribers in the text messaging pilot.
With text messaging available on 98% of all cell phones and more than 1.5 trillion text messages sent last year, Americans send/receive twice as many text messages than phone calls, making text messaging a potentially effective way to provide health information to users when and when they need it.
In addition, text messaging also affords an opportunity to communicate with underserved audiences and those with lower levels of health. With more than 285 million Americans (or 91% of U.S. population) owning mobile devices, mobile is helping to close the digital divide. Not only are text messages an excellent way to reach users in times of emergencies, but the technology also affords an opportunity to communicate with underserved audiences in the U.S. who may not have access to the Internet. In fact, A study published by the Pew Internet and American Life project last week found that lower income teens (ages 12-17) were higher users of text messaging and the mobile internet. In fact, the study showed that 1/5 of teens without internet access at home, use their mobile device to access the internet, thus beginning to close the digital divide with mobile web. In addition, more and more households are getting rid of their landlines and becoming ‘mobile-only’ households. This is significant because research shows that persons in cell-phone-only households have higher rates of binge drinking or excess alcohol consumption, are more likely to smoke, less likely to have had a flu shot in the last year, less likely to be tested for HIV, and less likely to have a usual place to go for medical care, etc.
In fact, there have been several attempts to try to measure the effectiveness of text messaging for delivering health behavior change interventions. In fact, the American Journal of Preventive Medicine publish an article in late 2009 comparing 14 SMS program for impacts on healthy behaviors. Four of the 14 studies reviewed targeted preventive health behaviors (e.g., smoking cessation), and ten focused on clinical care (e.g., diabetes self-management). The study found that 13 of the 14 studies resulted in positive behavior change outcomes. The study found that key elements of a successful health intervention included a two-way dialogue with individuals, tailored content, and interactivity of the interventions. This service allows for instantaneousdelivery of short messages (maximum 160characters) directly to individuals at any time, place, orsetting. These messages are asynchronous, meaningthey can be accessed at a time that suits an individual. reviewed Customized SMS messages can be tailored to individuals,which is important given that personally tailoredmessages are more effective for health behavior changethan untailored messages.20–24 This medium also allowsfor seamless (and quantifiable) interaction between theparticipant and the interventionist, so that participantengagement with the intervention can be monitoredand compared to exposure. Communication with SMSmay also be more cost effective than other telephone orprint-based interventions.19,25There were no clear differences in interventionoutcomes based on SMS dialogue initiation. However,all the preventive health behavior studies usedresearcher-initiated techniques, and most of the tertiarylevelinterventions used participant-initiated techniques.The frequency of SMS transmission reflected theexpected frequency of the targeted behavior (e.g.,smoking [5/day], physical activity [5/week]) for all butthree studies.66,72,74 Most of the interventions providedpersonally tailored SMS, except two studies66,74 thatused bulk, untailored SMS. Tailoring variables includedparticipant’s name or nickname, nominated supportperson’s name, age, gender, behavioral history, behavioralpreferences, behavioral goals, behavioral barriers,previous SMS responses, and medical status. The twostudies66,74 that used untailored SMS were in the topthree for highest participant attrition.It is well established that tailored health messages aremore engaging and effective at changing behavior thanuntailored, bulk messages.21–24 All but two studies inthis review used tailored SMS. The two studies66,74using untailored SMS targeted a wide range of behavioralchanges (e.g., physical activity, nutrition, medicationcompliance, smoking, alcohol consumption) andwere among the studies with the highest participantattrition. This finding may support the notion thatuntailored health messages are less engaging for participants.Because participant engagement and retentionare critical factors in successful behavior changeresearch, it is important to further investigate theimpact of tailoring content in SMS research.Interactivity and responsiveness to participants’
Therefore, in January, we sent out our first interactive feedback survey, asking users to rate their level of satisfaction with the text messaging pilot. 87% of users were satisfied with the messages. Three days later, we sent another message asking users how we could improve, and the two most popular responses were to make the messages more actionable and more relevant.
Therefore, we began targeting messages by age, gender, and creating “subgroups” for smaller more targeted topics, including creating a NEWYEAR list to allow users to sign up for messages about nutrition and physical activity. This list was very popular as we timed it to be sent out on New Year’s Day, when many make resolutions to become healthier.
In March, we conducted a much larger evaluation, by sending a message to users asking them to participate in a web survey. Not surprisingly, the number of users who participated in the study decreased significantly, as users had to take their phone to their computer and type in a web address.

Three days later, we sent another message asking users how we could improve, and the two most popular responses were to make the messages more actionable and more relevant.
71% of the respondents report that they were satisfied or very satisfied with the text messages. What is somewhat surprising is that 87% of respondents to the text message survey were satisfied. This is a marked decrease that we are not able to explain. One hypothesis is that the difficulty involved in taking a web survey prevented a great deal of people from taking the survey, meaning that those who did take the survey were likely either very satisfied or very dissatisfied. This is a question that requires further research, showcasing the fact that additional research needs to be conducted to determine the best ways to evaluate the effectiveness of text messaging programs.
One of the most interesting facts we found in the study was that 62% of respondents said that they had used the messages to improve their health and the 60% were very likely to recommend CDC’s text messages to a friend.
When asing about user perceptions of the text messages, we found that….
In order to better target the messages, we began targeting by events, by age and by creating new lists targeting to smaller subgroups of people.
One other surprising finding was that users did mind abbreviations in text messages from friends and family members, but that they thought the abbreviations from the CDC reduced the credibility of our messages.
We also began tailoring messages by providing more interactivity…
