Item Coordinated Evolution of Ontologies of Informed Consent(ICBO, 2018) Vajda, Jonathan; Otte, J. Neil; Stansbury, Cooper; Manion, Frank J.; Umberfield, Elizabeth; He, Yongqun; Harris, Marcelline; Obeid, Jihad; Brochhausen, Mathias; Duncan, William D.; Tao, Cui; Health Policy and Management, School of Public HealthInformed consent, whether for health or behavioral research or clinical treatment, rests on notions of voluntarism, information disclosure and understanding, and the decisionmaking capacity of the person providing consent. Whether consent is for research or treatment, informed consent serves as a safeguard for trust that permissions given by the research participant or patient are upheld across the informed consent (IC) lifecycle. The IC lifecycle involves not only documentation of the consent when originally obtained, but actions that require clear communication of permissions from the initial acquisition of data and specimens through handoffs to, for example, secondary researchers, allowing them access to data or biospecimens referenced in the terms of the original consent.Item Development of User-Centered Interfaces to Search the Knowledge Resources of the Virginia Henderson International Nursing Library(2003) Jones, Josette; Harris, Marcelline; Thompson, Cheryl BagleyThe primary aim of this collaborative research project was to develop "tell and ask" functional interface where the nurse communicates with the knowledge base by making logical assertions based on his/her domain knowledge.Item Sagittal abdominal diameter and its socioeconomic correlates: perspective of sex differences(BMC, 2021-03-11) Li, Chang; Harris, Marcelline; Tsilimingras, Dennis; Liu, Sophia Z.; Sheng, Ying; Liu, Xuefeng; School of NursingBackground: Sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD) is an anthropometric index associated with visceral adiposity. It remains unclear whether SAD and its socio-economic correlates differ in women and men, which limits the epidemiological and clinical applications of the SAD measurement. The aims of this study are to examine the sex differences in SAD and its socio-economic correlates. Methods: A complex stratified multistage clustered sampling design was used to select 6975 men and 7079 women aged 18 years or more from the National Health Nutrition and Examination Survey 2011-2016, representative of the US civilian non-institutionalized population. SAD was measured in accordance to the standard protocols using a two-arm abdominal caliper. The sex differences in SAD and its socio-economic correlates were evaluated by performing weighted independent t tests and weighted multiple regression. Results: SAD was lower in women than in men in the entire sample, as well as in all the subgroups characterized by age, race, birth place, household income, and body mass index except for non-Hispanic blacks and those with household income < $20,000. Adjusted for other characteristics, age, birth place, household income, and body mass index were associated with SAD in both women and men. Black women were associated with higher SAD then white women (p < .0001), and Hispanic and Asian men were associated with lower SAD than white men (both p < .01). Women born in other countries were more likely to have lower SAD than women born in the US (p < .0001), and so were men (p = .0118). Both women and men with a household income of <$75,000 had higher SAD than those with an income of over $75,000. The associations of age, race, and household income with SAD differed in women and men. Conclusion: SAD is lower in women than in men, in the general population as well as in the most socio-economic subgroups. While socio-economic correlates of SAD are similar in women and men, the associations of age, race, and household income with SAD vary across sex.
