“…Similar to Benson et al (2016), we encountered anecdotal evidence of a response bias in our target population and participants tended to respond favourably. Therefore, we need to use caution when conducting user testing.…”

“…This extends to interactions with researchers as well. Hispanics exhibit a bias to ‘yea-saying’ (answering questions in the affirmative) greater than the general US population (Aday, Chiu, and Andersen 1980; Benson et al 2016). Hispanic women may have trouble with survey questionnaires, commonly used to assess user experience.…”

“…Second, although the design of most mobile application is developed based on the feedback of the users, the design process with Hispanic participants may be challenging. It is possible that Latinas may exhibit poor communication skills due to language barriers, and previous research suggests that they may have a bias towards responding affirmatively and in the least contentious way possible (Benson et al 2016). Therefore, when designing a mobile solution, it may be appropriate to take into account feedback from stakeholders that live in their communities and whom patients trust.…”

Designing an mHealth application to bridge health disparities in Latina breast cancer survivors: a community-supported design approach

Latina breast cancer patients in the USA report significantly worse cancer-related symptom burden and health-related quality of life than non-Hispanic whites. However, health literacy (e.g. knowledge about cancer, coping skills and communication) has been found to improve quality of life. In this paper, we present a case study of the methodology used to design Mi Guía (My Guide), a mobile application that aims to improve symptom burden and health-related quality of life among Hispanic women who have completed active treatment for breast cancer by increasing their health literacy. We developed a community-supported approach to building the application, which involved: (1) eliciting feedback from community leaders such as support group organizers and facilitators who are bilingual in Spanish and English, prioritize patients’ preferences and best interests and have a unique knowledge of the women and their needs;(2) conducting a formal evaluation of design principles based on previous interaction design research and user responses;(3) incorporating feedback from potential future users. In this paper, we discuss our methodology, and the challenges and benefits of this approach. We believe that future studies that aim to develop mobile technologies for underserved populations may benefit from a community-supported approach to design.

“…Fourth, this study only evaluated the impact of food insecurity quantitatively, whilst ignoring the qualitative impact of food insecurity and child hunger, such as the household’s specific and personal perception, experiences, and coping strategies used to mitigate the effects of food insecurity during the MCO period. Fifth, acquiescence and recall biases are also common in a face-to-face survey, particularly when it is conducted among individuals with low socioeconomic backgrounds [ 77 ]. Moreover, a single dietary record may not actually reflect the children’s usual food intake pattern.…”

Child hunger was prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the extent, determinants, and impact on pre-school children aged 6 months to 7 years old from Malaysian urban poor households are still unknown. This exploratory cross-sectional study was performed between July 2020 and January 2021 at the Lembah Subang People Housing Project, Petaling. The households’ food security status was assessed using the previously validated Radimer/Cornell questionnaire, and the children’s anthropometric measurements were taken. Food diversity score was assessed using the World Health Organization Infant and Young Children Feeding (under-2 children) or Food and Agriculture Organization Women’s Dietary Diversity (2-year-old-and-above children) systems. Overall, 106 households were recruited. The prevalence of child hunger is 58.4% (95% CI: 50.0, 67.4). Significant differences were found in breastfeeding and sugar-sweetened beverage consumption between under-2 and ≥2-year-old children. There were no significant differences between child hunger and other food-insecure groups in weight-for-age, height-for-age, and weight-for-height z-scores. Only a higher dietary diversity score was significantly protective against child hunger after adjusting for maternal age, paternal employment status, and the number of household children (ORadjusted: 0.637 (95% CI: 0.443, 0.916), p = 0.015)). Proactive strategies are warranted to reduce child hunger during the COVID-19 pandemic by improving childhood dietary diversity.

“…In the case of the use of power‐take off (PTO) shields on PTO drivelines, which prevent workers from becoming entangled, the self‐reported use of driveline shields was nearly double that which was identified in on‐farm equipment audits . In another research project conducted with migrant farmworkers in the NY Hudson Valley farming region, researchers found that there was a strong tendency for farmworkers to report favorable evaluations of safety innovations, despite evidence of not adopting the innovation . Other studies have identified varying rates of accuracy in self‐reported PPE use relating to the worker environment …”

Background: Falls overboard are the most common cause of fatalities in commercial fishing. As a result, interventions aimed at increasing and measuring the use of personal flotation devices (PFDs) are a high priority. The focus of this study was to explore the use of accelerometers as a means for objectively measuring PFD use on lobster fishing vessels.Methods: For participating vessels, researchers attached an accelerometer to a PFD worn by a crewmember and another to the vessel's wheelhouse. GoPro videos were also employed to record crewmember activities so these could be synchronized with accelerometer outputs. Accelerometer outputs included two distinct measures, the proportional integration mode (PIM) and zero crossing mode (ZCM). Data were fitted to various equations to identify the best method for predicting PFD use.Results: Seven lobster fishing vessels participated in the trial. Data indicated that accelerometers could predict PFD use with a fairly high degree of accuracy. In particular, a logistic equation incorporating PIM values from the PFD and the absolute value of the difference between the PFD PIM readings and the PIM readings from the stationary accelerometer demonstrated the highest degree of accuracy, with correct classifications for 73.3% to 77.6% of the 10-second data intervals. Accuracy was highest when crew members were moving versus stationary. The predictive value of ZCM was comparatively limited.Conclusions: PIM accelerometer readings can be used to measure PFD use with a considerably high degree of accuracy, especially for sternmen who are moving regularly and have the highest risk for falling overboard.
