Journal ArticleDOI
Conservative prior distributions for variance parameters in hierarchical models
TL;DR: The authors proposed a conservative prior distribution for variance components, which deliberately gives more weight to smaller values and is appropriate for investigators who are skeptical about the presence of variability in the second-stage parameters (random effects).
Journal ArticleDOI
Community mental healthcare providers’ attitudes and practices related to smoking cessation interventions for people living with severe mental illness
Joy L. Johnson,Leslie Malchy,Pamela A. Ratner,Shahadut Hossain,Ric M. Procyshyn,Joan L. Bottorff,Marlee Groening,Peter Gibson,Marg Osborne,Annette S.H. Schultz +9 more
TL;DR: Mental healthcare providers working in community-based mental health have a smoking prevalence rate that exceeds that of the region's general population and did not provide optimal smoking cessation support to their clients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bayesian adjustment for covariate measurement errors: A flexible parametric approach
Shahadut Hossain,Paul Gustafson +1 more
TL;DR: A flexible parametric approach is suggested for avoiding bias when estimating the response-covariate relationship through a logistic regression model and is applicable to the other generalized linear models, and to other types of non-linear regression models as well.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlates of smoking among adolescents with asthma
TL;DR: Gender appropriate prevention and cessation interventions for asthmatic adolescents may need to address important psychosocial and environmental factors that increase the risk of these adolescents initiating and maintaining tobacco use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Knowledge of “Heart Attack” Symptoms in a Canadian Urban Community
TL;DR: Whether public health education campaigns have achieved their desired reach by ensuring that all segments of the population recognize the symptoms of MI (“heart attack”) is investigated to reduce the time between the onset of symptoms and initiation of treatment for MI.
