“…22Y24 There was a higher response rate from the Web-based survey compared with the telephone or conventional mail methods, which has also been demonstrated in other studies. 25 In contrast to many other studies, however, successful contact, consent after contact, and completion after consent rates were acceptable (56%, 98%, 60%, respectively) given the length of follow-up (mean, 62 months). This is particularly pronounced when compared with other trauma-related quality-of-life outcomes studies, where adequate response rates are often limited to shorter follow-up or smaller prospective cohorts.…”

“…Bias with the responses could increase when the values and characteristics between respondents and non-respondents differ [23]. To address non-response bias, in a manner inspired by others [24,25], we explored whether the content of the first 25% of responses received contained more (or less) complete data than the content of the last 25% of responses received. Further, we compared the results of one of the main questions (How often do you use a GIS application in your current position?)…”

Abstract:This research evaluates the current use of geographic information systems (GIS) by forestry program graduates employed in the United States who graduated from university in the past five years. The purpose was to understand what geospatial processes and databases are typically used by field foresters. A survey was designed and sent to recent forestry graduates from Mississippi State University, Oregon State University, and the University of Georgia, with 30% of those surveyed choosing to participate. The majority of forestry graduates surveyed use GIS at least once a week, and the most frequently employed tasks included editing tabular data, adjusting polygon boundaries, buffering and splitting polygons, and querying for spatial and tabular information. Very few overlay or advance spatial analysis tools were noted as used in regular work efforts. Most respondents use digital aerial photographs as reference, along with satellite images. LiDAR is increasingly being used by these foresters, but to a lesser extent. ArcMap and Google Earth were noted as the most commonly used software packages. Most foresters rely on an organization's technical support staff for assistance. The study results can be used as a guide for academic programs in their efforts to provide timely and effective knowledge on geospatial topics to forestry undergraduate students.

“…The patient satisfaction literature suggests a strong positive response bias in patients' reports of satisfaction with physicians. 32,33 Such a response bias probably served to artificially raise scores on some of the immediate post-interaction measures and mask effects of the intervention. During the mail follow-ups, however, contextual demands for positive answers were weaker, because patients completed questionnaires in their homes, names were not asked for, and the questionnaires were returned to a university address rather than the clinic.…”

A Social Psychological Approach to Improving the Outcomes of Racially Discordant Medical Interactions

BACKGROUND: Medical interactions between Black patients and non-Black physicians are less positive and productive than racially concordant ones and contribute to racial disparities in the quality of health care. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether an intervention based on the common ingroup identity model, previously used in nonmedical settings to reduce intergroup bias, would change physician and patient responses in racially discordant medical interactions and improve patient adherence. IINTERVENTION: Physicians and patients were randomly assigned to either a common identity treatment (to enhance their sense of commonality) or a control (standard health information) condition, and then engaged in a scheduled appointment. DESIGN: Intervention occurred just before the interaction. Patient demographic characteristics and relevant attitudes and/or behaviors were measured before and immediately after interactions, and 4 and 16 weeks later. Physicians provided information before and immediately after interactions. PARTICIPANTS: Fourteen non-Black physicians and 72 low income Black patients at a Family Medicine residency training clinic. MAIN MEASURES: Sense of being on the same team, patient-centeredness, and patient trust of physician, assessed immediately after the medical interactions, and patient trust and adherence, assessed 4 and 16 weeks later. KEY RESULTS: Four and 16 weeks after interactions, patient trust of their physician and physicians in general was significantly greater in the treatment condition than control condition. Sixteen weeks after interactions, adherence was also significantly greater. CONCLUSIONS: An intervention used to reduce intergroup bias successfully produced greater Black patient trust of non-Black physicians and adherence. These findings offer promising evidence for a relatively lowcost and simple intervention that may offer a means to improve medical outcomes of racially discordant medical interactions. However, the sample size of physicians and patients was small, and thus the effectiveness of the intervention should be further tested in different settings, with different populations of physicians and other health outcomes.KEY WORDS: common ingroup identity model; intergroup bias; racially discordant medical interactions.
