AI Article Synopsis
- The HIV/STD epidemics have increased the need for improved behavioral intervention programs and training for practitioners in behavioral theory.
- There is a gap in effective teaching methods for those without a behavioral science background, necessitating innovative approaches.
- The article introduces a framework with five key domains that influence behavior, along with course structure and activities to enhance understanding of these theoretical concepts.
Article Abstract
The HIV/STD epidemics have broadened the need for better behavioral intervention programs and highlighted the importance of providing training in behavioral theory to frontline program practitioners. However, there is a lack of effective methods for teaching theoretical concepts to people who may not have a background in behavioral science. This article presents a solution to this challenge by introducing a new heuristic for teaching theory and for placing individual theories/models in a broader context. Using a broad framework, we identify five domains that influence behavior: risk appraisal, self-perceptions, emotions and arousal, relationships and social influence, and environmental and structural factors. Each domain is described, and a brief overview of supporting literature is provided. Following the presentation of domains, we discuss course structure and activities.

Background: Clinical reasoning is a professional capability required for clinical practice. In preclinical training, clinical reasoning is often taught implicitly, and feedback is focused on discrete outcomes of decision-making. This makes it challenging to provide meaningful feedback on the often-hidden metacognitive process of reasoning to address specific clinical reasoning difficulties.

In recent years, wireless sensor networks have been widely used, especially in three-dimensional environments such as underwater and mountain environments. However, in harsh environments, wireless sensor networks may be damaged and split into many isolated islands. Therefore, restoring network connectivity to transmit data effectively in a timely manner is particularly important.

Natural disasters can severely disrupt conventional communication systems, hampering relief efforts. High-altitude tethered balloon base stations (HATBBSs) are a promising solution to communication disruptions, providing wide communication coverage in disaster-stricken areas. However, a single HATBBS is insufficient for large disaster zones, and limited resources may restrict the number and energy capacity of available base stations.

Background: Designing for Dissemination and Sustainability (D4DS) principles and methods can support the development of research products (interventions, tools, findings) that match well with the needs and context of the intended audience and setting. D4DS principles and methods are not well-known or used during clinical and public health research; research teams would benefit from applying D4DS. This paper presents the development of a new digital platform for research teams to learn and apply a D4DS process to their work.

Case-based learning (CBL) is a learner-centric educational approach that fosters independent learning and exploration through case analysis, guided by teachers' heuristic instruction. The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of CBL versus traditional teaching methods in advanced breast cancer education for residents. In this randomized controlled trial, 40 residents undergoing standardized training in the Department of Breast Oncology at Peking University Cancer Hospital were enrolled and were equally divided into CBL and traditional teaching groups.
