Transitioning a panel survey from in‐person to predominantly web data collection: Results and lessons learned

Paul P. Biemer, Kathleen Mullan Harris, Brian J. Burke, Dan Liao, more

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series A (Statistics in Society) > 185 > 3 > 798 - 821

Over the last two decades, in‐person interviewing costs continued to increase while the data quality advantages traditionally identified with this data collection mode have faded. Consequently, some longitudinal surveys have begun transitioning from in‐person to web data collection despite risks to data quality and longitudinal comparability. This paper addresses the major issues involved in the transition...

Process Evaluation of a Clinical Trial to Test School Support as HIV Prevention Among Orphaned Adolescents in Western Kenya

Denise Dion Hallfors, Hyunsan Cho, Shane Hartman, Isabella Mbai, more

Prevention Science > 2017 > 18 > 8 > 955-963

Orphaned adolescents are a large and vulnerable population in sub-Saharan Africa, at higher risk for HIV than non-orphans. Yet prevention of new infection is critical for adolescents since they are less likely than adults to enter and remain in treatment and are the only age group with rising AIDS death rates. We report process evaluation for a randomized controlled trial (RCT) testing support to...

Population differences in associations of serotonin transporter promoter polymorphism (5HTTLPR) di- and triallelic genotypes with blood pressure and hypertension prevalence

Redford B. Williams, George D. Bishop, Brett C. Haberstick, Andrew Smolen, more

American Heart Journal > 2017 > 185 > C > 110-122

Based on prior research finding the 5HTTLPR L allele associated with increased cardiovascular reactivity to laboratory stressors and increased risk of myocardial infarction, we hypothesized that the 5HTTLPR L allele will be associated with increased blood pressure (BP) and increased hypertension prevalence in 2 large nationally representative samples in the United States and Singapore.Logistic regression...

Journal of Adolescent Health > 2016 > 59 > 6 > 681-687

Both substance use and depression are common in adolescence and often comorbid. Past research has produced conflicting results on whether there is a temporal relationship, and if so, in which direction it operates and how it may vary by sex. We examined the longitudinal associations between substance use frequency and depressive symptoms from adolescence into young adulthood and whether the associations...

Antoinette M. Landor, Carolyn Tucker Halpern

Journal of Youth and Adolescence > 2016 > 45 > 5 > 986-1002

Past evidence has documented that attitudes toward marriage and cohabitation are related to sexual behavior in adolescence and young adulthood. This study extends prior research by longitudinally testing these associations across racial/ethnic groups and investigating whether culturally relevant variations within racial/ethnic minority groups, such as skin tone (i.e., lightness/darkness of skin color),...

Molly Rosenberg, Audrey Pettifor, Harsha Thirumurthy, Carolyn Tucker Halpern, more

AIDS and Behavior > 2014 > 18 > 2 > 311-316

Cash transfer programs have the potential to prevent the spread of HIV, particularly among adolescents. One mechanism through which these programs may work is by influencing the characteristics of the people adolescents choose as sex partners. We examined the four-year impact of a Kenyan cash transfer program on partner age, partner enrollment in school, and transactional sex-based relationships among...
