Measuring Engagement in Technology-Based Health Interventions
Paradata (i.e. intervention usage metrics or web/app analytics) have been associated with differential treatment outcomes in online health behavior interventions, yet they remain underutilized and underreported in technology-based HIV prevention and care studies. Paradata collection and analyses can help researchers identify how components in technology-based health interventions lead to behavior change, offer insights into the frequency of usage across intervention components, and provide opportunities to compare the efficacy of specific components across trials. As an emergent area within technology-based health interventions, paradata analyses will require multidisciplinary collaborations between experts in intervention development, bioinformatics, and biostatistics. Building on lessons learned from big data analytics in ecommerce and social media, these partnerships will be critical to determining what and how paradata will be collected and analyzed.
Research and Development
This document discusses research and development. It defines research as systematic investigation to establish or confirm facts, while development refers to growing, progressing, or improving something. Research and development comprise creative work to increase knowledge and develop new applications.
The document then classifies research into three types: basic research which expands general knowledge; applied research which applies basic knowledge to solve problems; and experimental development which applies known facts and theory to solve particular problems through exploratory studies.
Finally, the document discusses research methods, distinguishing quantitative methods which use numerical data and controls to measure phenomena, from qualitative methods which probe contexts deeply to obtain in-depth understandings of participant perspectives.
Qualitative Analysis Presentation
The document discusses using qualitative interviewing to improve a teacher perceptions survey. It will involve conducting qualitative interviews and observations of teachers and librarians to discover new categories of items to add to an existing survey measuring levels of teacher-librarian collaboration. The goal is to verify and extend previous research on teacher perceptions, while getting a better understanding of collaboration activities that are best identified through qualitative methods rather than existing survey questions alone.
Fundamental, Applied and Action Research
This document discusses three types of research: fundamental/basic research, applied research, and action research. It provides details about each:
- Fundamental research aims to improve scientific theories without immediate practical applications. It expands knowledge for knowledge's sake through questions of why, what, or how without generalizing. Findings may later revolutionize practices.
- Applied research aims to solve practical problems and has immediate implications. It uses academic theories and techniques for specific purposes. It seeks to generalize while assuming other variables don't change.
- Action research is initiated to solve immediate problems through reflection and teams working to improve practices. It has two types: participatory research involving stakeholders, and practical research assisting organizations. It

Ethics in Social Sciences and Health Research
This document discusses ethics in social science and health research. It defines key terms like research, social science research, and health research. It outlines the symbiotic relationship between health and social science research, noting that social factors must be considered in health research and vice versa. The document also examines debates around ethical issues in social science research, such as power dynamics and risks to participants. It provides an overview of different types of ethics review for research protocols and discusses navigating ethics through principles like those in the Belmont Report.

This chapter outlines the research methodology used in the study. It employed a descriptive assessment study to evaluate the effectiveness of the project "Padaba Ta Ka" implemented by BUCAL in Bagumbayan Central School. Data was collected through questionnaires distributed to 10 teachers and 10 parents from the school. The questionnaires used Likert scales and forced choice questions to assess the sustainability and effectiveness of the project. The responses were analyzed using statistical methods such as percentages and ranks.
The Naturalistic Evaluation
Naturalistic Evaluation was developed by Egon Guba and Yvonna Lincoln. It embraces phenomenology and requires full disclosure from stakeholders and their intensive participation as human instruments. It demands that evaluators are totally ethical, respect all participants, give a voice to the powerless, understand stakeholders' values, and look to improve society. Naturalistic Evaluation meets the Joint Committee's Standards of utility, feasibility, propriety, and accuracy through experiment observation, interviews, surveys, and other methods.

10814286 introduction-to-qualitative-research
This document provides an introduction to qualitative research methods. It explains that qualitative research aims to measure social phenomena numerically by analyzing numbers that represent features like attitudes and behaviors using statistical methods. Quantitative research designs like surveys and experiments are used to examine correlations between variables. Researchers remain independent and objective to prevent influencing results. The process takes a deductive approach, beginning with a hypothesis and using tests to see if it applies to a population. Data analysis involves reflection on numerical data to describe variables and test hypotheses. Qualitative research can produce valuable information but is very time consuming.
Critical Factors
The study examined how contextual factors influence the planning and implementation processes of major projects, and how context and processes then impact project outcomes. It analyzed 68 case studies of major projects through factor analysis. The results showed that contextual variables strongly influence planning and implementation processes. Process variables then have a strong influence on outcomes. Context also affects outcomes through its impact on processes. So the study supports that process influences outcomes and is an important pathway for how context impacts outcomes in major projects.

The study examined how contextual factors influence the planning and implementation processes of major projects, and how context and processes then impact project outcomes. It analyzed 68 case studies of major projects through quantitative analysis. The results showed that contextual variables strongly influence planning and implementation processes. Process variables then have a strong influence on outcomes. Context also affects outcomes indirectly through its impact on processes. The study supports the idea that project processes significantly drive outcomes, and that context shapes outcomes by first shaping the processes used.
research
This document outlines and compares quantitative and qualitative research methods. Quantitative methods focus on measuring responses from large sample sizes using tools like surveys and statistical analysis, while qualitative methods use descriptive data collection like interviews and observations to understand differing perspectives on reality. It also discusses participatory methods which involve workshops and diagrams to collaboratively understand issues. Examples of each method type are provided. The document then outlines the typical phases of research including idea generation, problem definition, design, data collection, analysis, interpretation, and communication of results.
Week 03 Learning Activity
The document discusses two approaches to scientific inquiry - the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study (BSCS) and the Michigan Social Science Curriculum Project. The BSCS focuses on teaching students to process information like research biologists by identifying problems and using methods to solve them. The Michigan project used social psychology to study human relations. The inquiry training model uses a child's natural curiosity to create and analyze new knowledge. It involves five phases: confronting a problem, gathering data through verification and experimentation, organizing findings to form explanations, and analyzing the inquiry process with the teacher guiding each phase.
Final effects presentation
This document summarizes Joshua Jackson's MSCI action research project on the effect of working on high school students' GPAs. The study examined the relationship between GPA and number of hours worked among 130 junior and senior students at Apollo High School. Pearson r correlation analyses found no significant relationship between working and GPA, or between hours worked and GPA. The study concluded that high school students can work during the school year without negatively impacting their grades.
Qualitative vs quantitative research
This document discusses research methodologies for gathering human resources information. It recommends that the best approach is a mixed methods design that combines qualitative and quantitative research. A mixed design begins with a strong quantitative methodology to determine what works, and then enhances it with qualitative measures like interviews and case studies. This provides explanatory insights into how findings work and can be applied. While quantitative research identifies what is effective, qualitative research provides richer understanding of how and why things work from the perspectives of participants. Together, a mixed methods approach can provide both information on what is effective and a deeper understanding of why and how.
Crisis of confidence, p-hacking and the future of psychology
The document discusses issues with statistical analysis and interpretation in research. It notes that traditional null hypothesis significance testing can lead to problems like publication bias. Bayesian statistics are presented as an alternative that considers the probability of the data under both the null and alternative hypotheses. However, Bayesian methods still require transparent reporting and are not a panacea. Overall statistical power in many fields remains low, and selective reporting can still undermine reliability regardless of the statistical approach. Transparency in analysis, open sharing of data and materials, and preregistration of hypotheses are emphasized as ways to improve the credibility of research findings.
Behaviour change and intervention research
The document summarizes the development and rationale for a school-based intervention to increase physical activity and decrease sitting time among youth. It involved extensive literature reviews, stakeholder input through surveys, interviews and focus groups, and development of a theoretical framework drawing from self-determination theory. The intervention was tested through an initial feasibility trial and a cluster randomized controlled trial to evaluate effectiveness, processes of behaviour change, and cost-effectiveness. The goal was to translate behaviour change methods and create an effective application to address determinants of inactivity and related health outcomes.

Preprints, short and sweet
This document discusses the benefits of preprints and open sharing of scientific information prior to formal publication. It provides background on the historical Ingelfinger rule, which aimed to protect journals' exclusivity but is now seen as outdated. Experts argue that preprints allow earlier dissemination and review of findings, address biases in traditional peer review, and better serve taxpayers who fund scientific research. Links provided give additional perspectives on preprint archives and how they can positively influence scientific communication.

Mayo aug1, jsm slides (3)
This document summarizes Deborah Mayo's critique of Allan Birnbaum's argument for the strong likelihood principle (SLP). Mayo argues that Birnbaum's claim that the sufficiency principle (SP) and weak conditionality principle (WCP) entail the SLP is logically flawed. Specifically:
1) Birnbaum's argument relies on "Birnbaumization" - imagining an experiment as a mixture that could have produced an observed outcome or its SLP pair. However, applying Birnbaumization contradicts applying the WCP to the known outcome.
2) One cannot simultaneously apply Birnbaumization, which uses the mixture distribution, and the WCP, which requires considering only

Scott Weingart Cutting Edge Intra-Arrest Care
This document provides guidance on advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) techniques for resuscitationists. It outlines steps for securing airways through intubation, optimizing breathing by connecting to ventilators, and improving circulation with high-quality chest compressions. It also recommends prioritizing coronary reperfusion for STEMI patients in cardiac arrest and using vasoactive drugs like epinephrine. The document stresses the importance of minimizing peri-shock pauses, dosing epinephrine by blood pressure, and considering techniques like extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It emphasizes addressing human factors like keeping interventions quiet and knowing when premorbid state or time of arrest impacts survival chances.

What is evidence-based policy?
This document discusses evidence-based policy and some of the challenges involved. It notes that while randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are considered the gold standard for evidence, politics is also influenced by other factors like public opinion and consensus. Politicians must make decisions quickly without full understanding and evidence can be against their values. The document also discusses how evidence is interpreted through ideological lenses and that context is important for determining what works. It advocates for an experimental approach to governance through limited testing of policies rather than trying to fully implement evidence.

This document provides an overview of action research. It discusses action research as a participatory method used to promote positive social change. The document examines the cyclical nature of action research, which involves identifying a problem, collecting and analyzing data, planning and implementing an action, and then evaluating the results. Key aspects of action research highlighted include that it is participatory, cyclical, aims to identify practical solutions to problems, and uses both primary and secondary data collection methods. An example of an action research study on bullying in a charter school is also provided.

In this talk, I present the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) of Behavior Change for use in an organizational context as part of a larger reframing of end-user cybersecurity as a problem of organization health and wellness. I explain a visual diagram of six TTM Stages of Change and associated intervention strategies, as adapted from medical and wellness literature, and relate these to examples of security interventions currently in use, such as password strength indicators and Facebook Trusted Contacts. I conclude with my view that this framing can help researchers and practitioners approach “wicked problems” of organizational security that are not “tame” or one-and-done engineering problems but socio-cultural conditions that call for sustained, empowered action.
Diabetes, PHRs,at teams - Hopkins Capstone
The document proposes using personal health records and peer support teams to help disadvantaged urban diabetes patients better manage their condition. It suggests that giving patients control of their personal health records and decision support tools, as well as connecting them with a support team, may help improve empowerment, access to care, and health outcomes. Key metrics like HbA1c levels would be measured before, during, and after a 3-month intervention combining these approaches to evaluate its impact. The proposal references using principles from control systems engineering to design effective feedback loops to support patient self-management.

Module-9-Organization.pptx
Contingency theory states that there is no single best way to organize a company or make decisions, and the optimal approach depends on internal and external situational factors like technology, organization size, and strategy. Contingency theory considers how certain contextual factors can influence organizational structure and behavior.

The document discusses various methods of data collection for qualitative research. It describes four primary methods: participating in the setting, observing directly, interviewing in-depth, and analyzing documents and material culture. Secondary and specialized methods supplement these. Observation is highlighted as fundamental and important for discovering complex interactions. It requires managing an unobtrusive role and identifying patterns amid large amounts of fast-moving behavior. Focus groups, questionnaires, and surveys are also discussed as they align with exploring understandings and awareness around affordable housing programs.
Qualitative Data Analysis Paper
This document discusses the qualitative data evaluation process for a study analyzing differences in treatment of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal patients across six Victorian hospitals. The qualitative data will be transcribed and analyzed using NVivo software based on evaluation frameworks. Quantitative data will be analyzed using SPSS to measure impacts of policies, funding, competencies, and performance on service delivery changes. Findings will be validated through triangulation of qualitative and quantitative data from key stakeholders. Preliminary results will be discussed with stakeholders before conclusions are made. Lessons learned will then be disseminated.

Communications And Behaviour Change
This document summarizes a longer document about factors that influence human behavior and how understanding these factors can help develop effective communications strategies. It discusses three levels of factors - personal, social, and environmental - that influence behavior according to social psychology models. Personal factors include knowledge, attitudes, habits, and self-efficacy. Social factors include social norms, social support and identity. The document also provides an overview of behavioral economics principles and theories of behavior change. It emphasizes the importance of understanding how multiple factors at all levels can influence a behavior when developing communications to change behaviors.
Communications And Behaviour Change
This document summarizes a longer document about factors that influence human behavior and how understanding these factors can help develop effective communications strategies. It discusses three levels that influence behavior - personal, social, and environmental factors. Personal factors include knowledge, attitudes, habits, and beliefs. Social factors refer to interpersonal influences, and environmental factors include local and wider contextual influences. The document also provides overviews of behavioral economics principles and theories of behavior change. It emphasizes that to effectively influence behavior, communications strategies need to address factors at multiple levels rather than just focusing on one.
Behavioral Safety: Past Present & Future
A Keynote speech by Dr Domininc Cooper CFIOSH C.Psychol examining the 'true' success factors of Behavior-Based Safety from the 1970's to the present day.
Behavio-Based Safety is still evolving to the point where it is effective in all workplaces, all of the time. Many implementations have been successful, but many have failed or faded away over the years. What can we learn from the past and the present to optimize future BBS implementations for the good of all? This tour of BBS examines the evolution of BBS, implementation strategies, and remaining challenges. Issues to be addressed include (but are not limited to):
[1 Where BBS fits in an organizations Safety Culture
[2] Who owns BBS?
[3] The role of employees and managers
[4] BBS design Issues
[5] Integrating BBS into mainstream safety management systems

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Efficacy of Avartana Sneha in Ayurveda

- 3. b Study protocol @ BMC Public Health
- 4. b The aim, in a nutshell: To evaluate… • the effectiveness • processes/mechanisms of change • cost-effectiveness … of a school-based, multi-level intervention, on physical activity and sedentary behavior
- 5. b Theoretical framework ● Self-determination theory ● Control and self-regulation theories ● Reasoned action approach ● Habit theory (Hankonen et al. 2016, BMC Public Health)
- 6. b The data (2017) Final n ≈ 1000 Measurements at four time points: T1 (baseline) T2 (mid-intervention) T3 (2-month follow-up) T4 (12-month follow-up)
- 7. b T1-T4 measures of the following constructs (related to PA): • Behavioral predictors according to Self-Determination Theory • autonomous and controlled motivation (motivational regulations) • Behavioral predictors according to Reasoned Action Approach • outcome expectations, descriptive and injunctive norms, intention, self-efficacy/perceived behavioural control • In addition, behavior change technique (BCT) use, self- reported PA, injuries/illness The data (2017)
- 8. b Network Analysis? - Compare longitudinal, within-individual networks of those who change and those who don’t?
- 9. b My upcoming PhD project … On taking control of one’s own motivation
- 10. b My PhD project (fall 2016-2020) • Inspecting within-individual motivational fluctuations and their effect on physical activity • Data collection using a mobile app: physical activity, behaviour change techniques, psychosocial stuff (e.g. motivation)
- 11. b The very preliminary idea • First: gather a catalogue of techniques individuals use to manage their motivation • Second: see how people use the motivation management techniques in day-to-day life • Third: teach employees to manage their exercise motivation and see if affects occupational health
- 12. b Some open questions • Extend network approach: N-of-1 networks? • How to use what we know about dynamical systems, complexity? • Potential pitfalls?
- 13. b Andrew Gelman on ”piss-poor omnicausal social science”: ”[…] toxic combination of open-ended theories, noisy data, and huge incentives to obtain ‘p less than .05’” (source) • … My nightmare is ending up as a link in this chain
- 14. b Sir Ronald Fisher (1938): “To consult the statistician after an experiment is finished is often merely to ask him to conduct a post mortem examination. He can perhaps say what the experiment died of.” … so I’m calling out to all the savvy folks with methods superpowers – you can make the world a better place!
