Hansen, Spencer; Rice, Kenneth – Research Synthesis Methods, 2022
Meta-analysis of proportions is conceptually simple: Faced with a binary outcome in multiple studies, we seek inference on some overall proportion of successes/failures. Under common effect models, exact inference has long been available, but is not when we more realistically allow for heterogeneity of the proportions. Instead a wide range of…

Schafer, Zachary; Scharmann, Lawrence – Science Teacher, 2022
Death as a common mental health issue, however, can be viewed through a lens of student well-being, which can be nurtured through the use of a simple triad--maximize positive affect, minimize negative affect, and minimize the inhibition of affect (Watchtel 2016). Teachers often fear that difficult topics may maximize negative affect.…

Embregts, Petri J. C. M.; Nijs, Sara L. P.; van Oorsouw, Wietske M. W. J. – Journal of Intellectual & Developmental Disability, 2021
Background: One would assume that infection outbreaks such as the COVID-19 pandemic have a deleterious effect upon the physical, mental, and/or social functioning of people with intellectual disabilities (ID). Methods: A systematic search of four databases produced 18 articles. General information pertaining to the topics under consideration,…

Courtemanche, Charles J.; Le, Anh H.; Yelowitz, Aaron; Zimmer, Ron – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2021
This paper examines the effect of fall 2020 school reopenings in Texas on county-level COVID-19 cases and fatalities. Previous evidence suggests that schools can be reopened safely if community spread is low and public health guidelines are followed. However, in Texas, reopenings often occurred alongside high community spread and at near capacity,…

von Hippel, Paul T. – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2021
In an effort to reduce viral transmission, many schools are planning to reduce class size if they have not reduced it already. Yet the effect of class size on transmission is unknown. To determine whether smaller classes reduce school absence, especially when community disease prevalence is high, we merge data from the Project STAR randomized…

Magdalena Mattebo; Maria Gottvall; Maria Grandahl – Journal of School Nursing, 2024
The present qualitative study is a part of the process evaluation of a complex intervention, the randomized controlled trial, "Prevention of human papillomavirus (HPV) in a school-based setting." We aimed to explore participating school nurses' perceptions and experiences of delivering the educational HPV intervention to adolescents aged…

Olga Ivanova; Israel Martínez-Nicolás; Juan José García Meilán – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Recent evidence suggests that speech substantially changes in ageing. As a complex neurophysiological process, it can accurately reflect changes in the motor and cognitive systems underpinning human speech. Since healthy ageing is not always easily discriminable from early stages of dementia based on cognitive and behavioural…

Arritokieta Ortuzar-Iragorri; Araitz Uskola; Teresa Zamalloa – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2024
Health literacy should be developed from early ages, but students, including preservice teachers, hold misconceptions about micro-organisms. The objective of this study was to analyse the knowledge that a sample of 102 Early Childhood Preservice Teachers (PST) had about micro-organisms and about cystitis. The PSTs performed a series of activities…

Yunjung Kim; Austin Thompson; Ignatius S. B. Nip – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: This study examined speech changes induced by deep-brain stimulation (DBS) in speakers with Parkinson's disease (PD) using a set of auditory-perceptual and acoustic measures. Method: Speech recordings from nine speakers with PD and DBS were compared between DBS-On and DBS-Off conditions using auditory-perceptual and acoustic analyses.…

Objective: We developed an Excel-based cost calculator to assess the economic burden of university-based "Neisseria meningitidis" serogroup B (MenB) outbreaks. Participants: Hypothetical university with 6,354 students. Methods: Total societal costs of outbreak were estimated for three MenB pre-matriculation immunization…

Objective: To examine how in-person classroom instruction was related to risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection in undergraduate students. Participants: Indiana University undergraduate students (n = 69,606) enrolled in Fall 2020, when courses with in-person and remote instruction options were available. Methods: Students participated weekly in mandatory…

Terry L. Rentner; Saud A. Alsulaiman – Journal of American College Health, 2024
Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented challenges for university administrators and health professionals to keep doors open and students safe. Optimistic bias and the Health Belief Model serve as foundations for understanding students' perceived susceptibility and severity for contracting the virus and their perceived benefits…
