Background: Interventions to promote physical activity among women breast cancer survivors (BCS) in low- to middle-income countries are limited. We assessed the acceptability and preliminary effectiveness of a theory-driven, group-based dance intervention for BCS delivered in Bogotá, Colombia.
Methods: We conducted a quasi-experimental study employing a mixed-methods approach to assess the 8-week, 3 times/week group dance intervention.
Article Synopsis
- Many prevention management practices have been introduced in construction to reduce accidents, but there's limited evidence on their effectiveness.
- A study of 1180 construction firms in Chile evaluated 221 safety practices over four years, using various analytical methods.
- Results revealed that safety incentives are the most effective yet underutilized, while reactive measures like accident investigations can negatively impact safety; overall, a strategic combination of prevention practices is key to lowering accident rates.
