TL;DR: This survey provides important insights into behavior and attitudes among current and former statin users and the results suggest that more effective dialogue between healthcare providers and patients may increase persistence of statin use, particularly when the patient has concerns about side effects and drug costs.

TL;DR: This paper found that overconfident managers will tend to accelerate good news recognition, delay loss recognition, and generally use less conservative accounting, and test whether external monitoring helps to mitigate this effect.
Abstract: Overconfident managers overestimate IXWXUHUHWXUQVIURPWKHLUILUPV∂�LQYHVWPHQWV��7KXV��ZH� predict that overconfident managers will tend to accelerate good news recognition, delay loss recognition, and generally use less conservative accounting. Furthermore, we test whether external monitoring helps to mitigate this effect. Using measures of both conditional and unconditional conservatism, we find robust evidence of a negative relation between CEO overconfidence and accounting conservatism. We further find that external monitoring does not appear to mitigate this effect. Our findings add to the growing literature on overconfidence and complements findings in Schrand and Zechman (2011) that overconfidence affects financial reporting behavior.

TL;DR: Results indicate the importance of terminology and assessment when conducting physical activity research in minority women populations and suggest many barriers are changeable with policies and interventions.
Abstract: Few physical activity research studies have been conducted with minority women. The purpose of this study was to explore patterns of physical activity among minority women. Focus groups were conducted with volunteers older than age 40. Each group was led by a trained moderator familiar with the ethnic community targeted. The sessions were audiotaped and professionally transcribed. Constructs were researched and codes were developed. Data were analyzed using NUD*IST qualitative analysis program. While participants did not identify themselves as "exercisers," they indicated they got enough physical activity from caregiving, housekeeping, and workday activities. The most common environmental barriers to becoming more physically active included safety, availability, and cost. Personal barriers included lack of time, health concerns, and lack of motivation. Results indicate the importance of terminology and assessment when conducting physical activity research in these populations. Also, results suggest many barriers are changeable with policies and interventions.
