Objectives. We examined whether kindergarten teachers' ratings of children’s prosocial skills, an indicator of noncognitive ability at school entry, predict key adolescent and adult outcomes. Our goal was to determine unique associations over and above other important child, family, and contextual characteristics.Methods. Data came from the Fast Track study of low–socioeconomic status neighborhoods in 3 cities and 1 rural setting. We assessed associations between measured outcomes in kindergarten and outcomes 13 to 19 years later (1991–2000). Models included numerous control variables representing characteristics of the child, family, and context, enabling us to explore the unique contributions among predictors.Results. We found statistically significant associations between measured social-emotional skills in kindergarten and key young adult outcomes across multiple domains of education, employment, criminal activity, substance use, and mental health.Conclusions. A kindergarten measure of social-emotiona...

Early Social-Emotional Functioning and Public Health: The Relationship Between Kindergarten Social Competence and Future Wellness

The field of organization and management studies has a significant and ever increasing published research base, often criticized as fragmented and of limited relevance for practice A design science approach to management has argued that more room for the development of solution-oriented or prescriptive knowledge would increase its relevance In this article we discuss prescriptive knowledge cast in the form of design propositions following the so-called 'CIMO-logic', extending previous applications of the design proposition notion This logic involves a combination of a problematic Context, for which the design proposition suggests a certain Intervention type, to produce, through specified generative Mechanisms, the intended Outcome(s) We discuss how design-oriented research synthesis provides a vehicle for addressing fragmentation and increasing the chances of application Moreover, we explore how the development of design propositions can result from synthesizing previously published research and illu

Introduction:A significant gap exists between science and clinical practice guidelines, on the one hand, and actual clinical practice, on the other. An in-depth understanding of the barriers and incentives contributing to the gap can lead to interventions that effect change toward optimal pr

Gaps between knowing and doing: understanding and assessing the barriers to optimal health care.

Background
Adhering to weight loss interventions is difficult for many people. The majority of those who are overweight or obese and attempt to lose weight are simply not successful. The objectives of this study were 1) to quantify overall adherence rates for various weight loss interventions and 2) to provide pooled estimates for factors associated with improved adherence to weight loss interventions.

Prevenção da dengue: a proficiência em foco

Avaliou-se em laboratorio a eficacia de um prototipo de capa de tela de poliester (evidengue®) destinada a vedar o acesso de femeas do mosquito Aedes aegypti a pratos de vasos de planta. Dois pratos de vasos com agua foram envolvidos individualmente com a capa e colocados com os seus respectivos vasos em duas gaiolas entomologicas, um em cada gaiola. Numa terceira gaiola foi colocado um conjunto identico de prato e vasos sem a capa. Cada gaiola recebeu 20 femeas copuladas do mosquito, alimentadas com sangue de camundongo. Os resultados mostram que a capa foi eficaz como barreira ao acesso de femeas. Novos testes sao necessarios para se avaliar a eficacia da capa como dispositivo de prevencao da ovipostura nos pratos.

Prevenção domiciliar da dengue: avaliação preliminar de tela protetora para pratos de vasos de planta

The effectiveness of a polyester mesh cover (evidengue ® ), aimed at preventing the access of female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to flowerpot saucers, was evaluated in laboratory. Two saucers of flowerpot with water were individually wrapped with the cover was placed with their respective pots in two entomological cages. One identical set of flowerpot and saucer was placed in a third cage. In each cage, 20 gravid females, fed on mouse blood, were released. Results show that the cover was effective to prevent access of females. Further tests are necessary to assess cover effectiveness as a device to prevent saucer oviposition.
