Article Synopsis
- Weather changes can affect how much people buy things that are not good for them, like tobacco.
- Researchers studied different places in the U.S. to see how weather impacts tobacco use in those areas.
- This information helps health marketers to create better plans to reduce tobacco use in places where it might be more effective.
Purpose: Several studies have previously documented the existence of a perception gap-the extent to which quality-of-life ratings provided by nursing home residents and caregivers diverge. In this study we use Helson's adaptation-level theory to investigate three types of antecedents: (a) focal factors, (b) background factors, and (c) residual factors.
Design And Methods: We calculated the perception gap for 11 quality-of-life domains.
