A Media Literacy Education Approach to Sexual Health Promotion: Immediate Effects of on the Sexual Health Cognitions of Young Adult Community College Students.

This study evaluates the efficacy of , a comprehensive sex education program with a media literacy education approach, for improving sexual health cognitions among 1139 U.S. community college students (ages 18-19) from 23 campuses.

Evaluating the mechanisms and long-term effects of a web-based comprehensive sexual health and media literacy education program for young adults attending community college: study protocol for a three-arm randomized controlled trial.

Background: Many community college students experience poor sexual and relationship health outcomes. Young adults consume a plethora of media content, much of which depicts unhealthy sexual and romantic relationships, and research has shown that media exposure can negatively impact health outcomes. Asynchronous, web-based media literacy education (MLE) programs have been shown to improve short-term sexual and relationship health outcomes.

A Media Literacy Education Approach to High School Sexual Health Education: Immediate Effects of Media Aware on Adolescents' Media, Sexual Health, and Communication Outcomes.

Media may function as sex educators for adolescents; unfortunately, media messages often glamorize risky sexual behaviors and unhealthy relationships and neglect sexual health behaviors and communication. Media Aware is a web-based comprehensive sexual health program for high school students that uses a media literacy education approach. It is designed to improve adolescents' critical thinking about media messages and provide medically-accurate information and skills building related to sexual health and communication.

I want to help you, but I am not sure why: gaze-cuing induces altruistic giving.

Detecting subtle indicators of trustworthiness is highly adaptive for moving effectively amongst social partners. One powerful signal is gaze direction, which individuals can use to inform (or deceive) by looking toward (or away from) important objects or events in the environment. Here, across 5 experiments, we investigate whether implicit learning about gaze cues can influence subsequent economic transactions; we also examine some of the underlying mechanisms.

Paleoindian seafaring, maritime technologies, and coastal foraging on California's Channel Islands.

Three archaeological sites on California's Channel Islands show that Paleoindians relied heavily on marine resources. The Paleocoastal sites, dated between ~12,200 and 11,200 years ago, contain numerous stemmed projectile points and crescents associated with a variety of marine and aquatic faunal remains. At site CA-SRI-512 on Santa Rosa Island, Paleocoastal peoples used such tools to capture geese, cormorants, and other birds, along with marine mammals and finfish.

Trastuzumab, paclitaxel, cisplatin, and radiation for adenocarcinoma of the esophagus: a phase I study.

The business case for medication safety.

The decision to invest in a medication-safety system should take into account not only implementation costs but also reduced hospital costs for treating complications resulting from medication errors and potential liability. Medication-safety programs should be analyzed and planned the same as any other investment. Providers should base their projected return from a medication-safety system on intangible benefits to the organization as well as an ROI calculation.

Malignant pleural effusions.

Malignant pleural effusions contribute to considerable morbidity in cancer patients and generally portend an overall poor prognosis. Treatment of malignant pleural effusions is palliative; therefore, quality of life issues, as well as the risks and benefits of the therapeutic options, become more critical. In my opinion, factors such as in patient versus outpatient management and associated procedural discomfort are important in the decision-making process, and the patient should participate in these subjective considerations.

Effect of beta-Substituents on the Regioselectivity of the Diazomethane Ring Expansion of alpha-Methyl-alpha-methoxycyclobutanones to Cyclopentanones.

The ring expansion of 22 differently beta-substituted alpha-methyl-alpha-methoxycyclobutanones by diazomethane was studied. Migration of the less-substituted alpha-carbon was favored with the single exception of a very sterically hindered beta-benzyloxy beta-substituent.

Whatever happened to eHealth?

Innovations in information technology will continue to transform the health care system to a system that more closely resembles that envisioned in the 1999 and 2001 IOM reports. Healthcare Leadership & Management Report will continue to report over the next few months on practical use of technology to improve the health care system. We are now researching several systems and providers that are using technology to improve their patient care, productivity, bottom line and host of operational concerns.
