Background/objective: To evaluate the relationship between self-reported hearing loss and nonfatal fall-related injury in a nationally representative sample of community-dwelling adults living in the United States.
Design: Cross-sectional analysis of national survey data.
Setting: National Health Interview Survey (2016).
Objectives: We evaluated the impact of the 3-year Healthy Futures program on reducing sexual behaviors among middle school students.
Methods: Fifteen public middle schools in Haverhill, Lowell, and Lynn, Massachusetts, participated in this longitudinal school-cluster randomized controlled trial (2011-2015), which included 1344 boys and girls. We collected student survey data at baseline, immediately after each Nu-CULTURE curriculum (classroom component of Healthy Futures) in the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades, and at a 1-year follow-up in the ninth grade (cohort 1 students only).
