Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 22 (68.2% female; 40.9% Asian; mean age = 20 years) minority students from a large Midwestern university in the US. Results: Four major themes were revealed: motives for the nonmedical use of prescription drugs, sources for obtaining drugs, the influence of the college environment and areas surrounding the university, and suggested prevention programming. Conclusion: Findings revealed several problem areas among college students, especially among minorities. It is critical that programs and policies on college campuses increase efforts to address the misuse of prescription drugs. Prevention efforts should also incorporate cultural factors to address minority students on campus.","PeriodicalId":90204,"journal":{"name":"Journal of behavioral health","volume":"10 1","pages":"163-169"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70809590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective: The purpose of this study, is to explore the psychometric properties of the BHS in a non-clinical sample of student nurses (438), selected from 4 tertiary health care affiliated training institutions in South-western Nigeria. The student nurses completed the BHS, in addition to the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), the General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12) and a sociodemographic questionnaire.

Three monitors were attached in different methods to the traditional elastic belt (2 threaded options and 1 clipped) and one accelerometer was clipped onto waistband at the hip. Results: No differences were observed between attachment methods for step counts in any test condition (p >.05). When considering physical activity intensity classification accuracy, all attachment methods (100% of the time) generated counts within the same intensity category.

Methods: Using a structured questionnaire administered on 1,084 household heads randomly selected from 15 residential neighbourhoods of contrasting residential environmental quality, defined largely by income and education, in Ibadan in 2015, data on knowledge of treatment policies, treatment choices, whether or not the policies influenced their treatment choices and frequency of treating episodes of malaria in the households annually were elicited. The data were analyzed using proportion, percentages, One-Way Analysis of variance, Chi Square and Spearman Rank Correlation statistical techniques. Results: More than 70% of the respondents in the high and medium density residential neighbourhoods were not aware of any treatment policy, nearly 43% of the respondents treated malaria in their households through self-medication while about 27.8% of those who patronized health facilities received prescription notes rather than drugs. Income affected treatment choices (X2 = 22.892, P < 0.001) just as literacy did (X2 = 87.530, P < 0.001). The correlation analyses also show that treatment choices affected the frequency of treating malaria and number of days spent treating an episode of malaria. Conclusion: The study concluded that poor knowledge of and gaps in the treatment policy contributed to the high prevalence of malaria in Nigeria.","PeriodicalId":90204,"journal":{"name":"Journal of behavioral health","volume":"6 1","pages":"120-123"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70809187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: Eight participants (mean age = 28.3 ± 3.8) were enrolled. Participants completed 4 walking trials of 2 different speeds (2 and 3 miles per hour, 3-min stages) while wearing 2 GT3X+ and 2 GT9X Link accelerometers on an elastic belt on the right sides of the hip. They continued wearing them for another 6-10 hours in the free-living setting. Results: There were no significant differences between the mean CPM between the devices for the walking trials and free-living assessment when both filters were applied. There were also no significant differences in the different physical activity intensity categories. There was strong evidence of agreement between the GT3X+ and GT9X Link.

In this study, a self-administered 37-item questionnaire and the Turkish version of The Epworth Sleepiness Scale were used. Results: In our study, overall prevalence of excessive day-time sleepiness was 11.3%. It was significantly prevalent among adults under the age of 25 years of age with the increased risk being 1.18 fold. Also it was more prevalent among women. Increased risk of excessive day-time sleepiness was 3.05 fold higher in adults with chronic disease and 1.78 fold higher with adults having a stressful life. Among the sleep-related habits, it was more often in adults with ‘sleep speaking, restless sleep, breathing pauses, subjective sense of having a problem related with sleep, waking up feeling unrefreshed. Conclusion: The results of our study showed that nearly one in ten adults were suffering from excessive daytime sleepiness. It is suggested that to improve sleep hygiene and to manage chronic disease for people with daytime sleepiness should be a priority for public health and preventive medicine practices.","PeriodicalId":90204,"journal":{"name":"Journal of behavioral health","volume":"10 31 1","pages":"26-30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70808860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
