    Susan dosReis
    Description

    This dataset is the result of an investigation of caregivers’ management and treatment preferences for their ADHD child. From January 2013 through March 2015 a total of 184 caregivers of children 4 to 14 years of age were recruited from primary care, pediatric outpatient clinics, and support organizations in Maryland. The study explored caregiver variability and priorities when considering medication, change in management options over time, and preference for different treatment attributes. Data were collected using Best-Worst scaling and the Vanderbilt ADHD Diagnostic Parent Rating Scale (VADPRS). This dataset consists of caregiver and child demographic information, child diagnoses and treatment characteristics data, and caregiver preferences with regard to medication and observed and desired improvements in their child’s ADHD.

  • Post-transplant substance use, services use and psychosocial functioning among liver transplant recipients with a history of alcohol dependence
    UMB Dataset

    Authors
    Paul Sacco
    Description

    This data set consists of the results of a survey developed to examine substance use, psychosocial, and mental health variables in a sample of patients who received a liver transplant and were diagnosed with an alcohol-related liver disease. Participants were asked about their quantity, duration and frequency of alcohol and substance use prior to and following liver transplant. The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), a 10-item measure for at risk drinking, assessed current alcohol consumption for participants who reported any past-year alcohol consumption. The Fagerstrom test assessed nicotine dependence using a six-item measure of nicotine dependence. The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9)(14) screened for depression symptomatology, and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), a seven-item measure that assesses symptoms of worry and anxiety over the past two weeks (15) was used to screen for anxiety symptoms. The Interpersonal Support Evaluation List (ISEL-12) was used as a measure of social support. Other survey items included questions on demographic variables (i.e., marital status, employment, residency, history of incarceration) as well as substance use and mental health service utilization. Age, race/ethnicity, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score, insurance status, and transplant wait list time were extracted from patient medical records. A total of 67 individuals were surveyed.

    Description

    This study aimed to clarify the extent to which surgeons are trained in operating room hazards and assess the self-reported exposure rate across surgical specialties and academic levels. The authors implemented a cross-sectional electronic 21-item questionnaire, through Qualtrics, to surgical attendings, fellows, and residents from June to August 2019 at Johns Hopkins Hospital and affiliated hospitals. The survey evaluated 13 occupational hazards: bloodborne pathogens, surgical smoke, ergonomics, radiation, sharp injuries, inhalation exposure to methylmethacrylate, cytotoxic drugs, formaldehyde, patient lifting, prolonged standing, surgical hand scrub, surgical noise, and anesthetic gases. Data was analyzed using IBM's Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS).

    Description

    Survey data of psychometric properties was evaluated to investigate the prevalence of research misbehaviors in the Middle East. The survey implemented an "attitude" scale, a 21 question survey using a five-point Likert scale. The 254 respondents included academic faculty, individuals with master's and PhD degrees, postdoctoral students, senior undergraduates, and individuals working in research positions. The attitude scale was adapted from a prior questionnaire survey - A Cross-Sectional Survey Study to Assess Prevalence and Attitudes Regarding Research Misconduct among Investigators in the Middle East doi /10.1007/s10805-017-9295-9
