Applying a Pattern-Centered Approach to Assess the Effect of a School-Based Drug Use Prevention Program in Brazil: A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial.
J Prev (2022)
August 2022
Department of Preventive Medicine, Universidade Federal de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil.
This study evaluated the effectiveness of a drug and violence resistance educational program (Programa Educacional de Resistência às Drogas e à Violência-PROERD) on latent substance use profiles over a 9-month follow-up period. Two PROERD curricula were evaluated through a cluster randomized controlled trials with two parts that included a total of 4030 fifth-and seventh-grade students in 30 public schools in São Paulo. The intervention groups received 10 PROERD classes delivered by trained police officers, while the control group received no intervention.

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to verify whether artificial neural networks (ANNs) might help to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the increased prevalence of cardiovascular events (CV) in primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS).
Methods: 408 pSS patients (395 F: 13 M), with a mean age of 61 (±14) years and mean disease duration of 8.8 (±7.
Performance of a Defect-Mapping Microperimetry Approach for Characterizing Progressive Changes in Deep Scotomas.
Transl Vis Sci Technol

Centre for Eye Research Australia, Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital, East Melbourne, Australia.
Purpose: To examine whether a microperimetry testing strategy based on quantifying the spatial extent of functional abnormalities (termed "defect-mapping" strategy) could improve the detection of progressive changes in deep scotomas compared to the conventional thresholding strategy.
Methods: A total of 30 healthy participants underwent two microperimetry examinations, each using the defect-mapping and thresholding strategies at the first visit to examine the test-retest variability of each method. Testing was performed using an isotropic stimulus pattern centered on the optic nerve head (ONH), which acted as a model of a deep scotoma.
Using a pattern-centered approach to assess sexual risk-taking in study abroad students.

a Department of Psychology , Rowan University, Glassboro , New Jersey , USA.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of several potential factors related to sexually risky behaviors in study abroad students. The authors utilized a pattern-centered analysis to identify specific groups that can be targeted for intervention.
Participants: The sample consisted of 173 students who studied abroad in a variety of international locations for an average of 4 months.
