The use of non-uniform drowning terminology: a follow-up study
(2017-07)Background: In 2002, the World Congress on Drowning developed a uniform definition for drowning. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of “non-uniform drowning terminology” (NUDT) and “non-uniform drowning ... -
Use of Short Messaging Service to Improve Follow-Up for Abnormal Pap Test Results in Minority and Medically Underserved Women in North Carolina: Questionnaire on Attitudes and Acceptability
(2019-06-08)Background: An estimated one in eight cervical cancer cases are due to a lack of follow-up care for abnormal Pap test results. Low rates of completion of follow-up care particularly affect low-income minority women. The ... -

(2023-07-20)Background: Although there has been a slight increase in dental professionals since 2011, 98 of North Carolina's 100 counties are designated as Dental Health Professional Shortage Areas by the Heath Resources and Service ... -
The Use of Trace Eyeblink Classical Conditioning to Assess Hippocampal Dysfunction in a Rat Model of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
(2017-08-05)Neonatal rats were administered a relatively high concentration of ethyl alcohol (11.9% v/v) during postnatal days 4-9, a time when the fetal brain undergoes rapid organizational change and is similar to accelerated brain ... -
User centric metrics for a realistic assessment of broadband services
(2023-10-11)Past broadband adoption initiatives underscored common wisdom: “We cannot manage what we cannot accurately measure”, “Trust but verify”. Self-reported Federal Communications Commission data has been notoriously unreliable ... -
Using Gamification and Social Incentives to Increase Physical Activity and Related Social Cognition among Undergraduate Students in Shanghai, China
(2019-03-08)Gamification and social incentives are promising strategies to increase the effectiveness of web-based physical activity (PA) interventions by improving engagement. In this study, we designed a PA intervention integrating ... -
Using geometry to select one dimensional exponential families that are monotone likelihood ratio in the sample space, are weakly unimodal and can be parametrized by a measure of central tendency
(2014-07-18)One dimensional exponential families on finite sample spaces are studied using the geometry of the simplex Δn°-1 and that of a transformation Vn-1 of its interior. This transformation is the natural parameter space ... -
Using Recycled Concrete Aggregate in Non-Structural Concrete on NCDOT Projects in Eastern NC
(2016-04)These items are part of a grant project between Dr. Wang, Department of Construction Management, East Carolina University, and The North Carolina Department of Transportation. The grant project will run from August 1, ... -
Using screen video capture software to aide and inform cognitive interviewing
(2012-01-19)Web-based surveys are a salient tool in the repertoire of social and behavioral scientists. The increase in web-based surveys is understandable considering the distinct advantages offered, including: (a) lower costs and ... -
Using the stable carbon and nitrogen isotope compositions of vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus pygerythrus) to examine questions in ethnoprimatology
(2014-07-10)This study seeks to understand how humans impact the dietary patterns of eight free-ranging vervet monkey (Chlorocebus pygerythrus) groups in South Africa using stable isotope analysis. Vervets are omnivores that exploit ... -
Utilization of EHR to Improve Support Person Engagement in Health Care for Patients With Chronic Conditions
(2022-02-09)Innovations in electronic health record (EHR) systems invite new patient and family engagement methods and create opportunities to reduce healthcare disparities. However, many patients and their identified support persons ... -
Validation of food store environment secondary data source and the role of neighborhood deprivation in Appalachia, Kentucky
(2012-08-22)Background Based on the need for better measurement of the retail food environment in rural settings and to examine how deprivation may be unique in rural settings, the aims of this study were: 1) to validate one commercially ... -
Validity and reliability of telephone administration of the patient-specific functional scale for the assessment of recovery from snakebite envenomation
(2019-12-13)Objectives: Although more than 1.8 million people survive snakebite envenomation each year, their recovery is understudied. Obtaining long-term follow-up is challenging in both high- and low-resource settings. The ... -
The validity, reliability and minimal clinically important difference of the patient specific functional scale in snake envenomation
(2019-03-05)Objective: Valid, reliable, and clinically relevant outcome measures are necessary in clinical studies of snake envenomation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric (validity and reliability) and clinimetric ... -
The variability of song variability in zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) populations
(2019-04-30)Birdsong is a classic example of a learned social behaviour. Song behaviour is also influenced by genetic factors, and understanding the relative contributions of genetic and environmental influences remains a major goal. ... -
