    ABR Core Examination Preparation: Results of a Survey of Fourth-Year Radiology Residents Who Took the 2013 Examination
    (Elsevier, 2015-01) Shetty, Anup S.; Grajo, Joseph R.; Decker, Summer; Heitkamp, Darel E.; DeStigter, Kristen K.; Mezwa, Duane G.; Deitte, Lori; Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences, IU School of Medicine
    Rationale and Objectives A survey was administered to fourth-year radiology residents after receiving their results from the first American Board of Radiology (ABR) Core examination in 2013. The purpose was to gather information regarding resources and study strategies to share with program directors and future resident classes. Materials and Methods An online survey was distributed to examinees nationwide. The survey included free-response and multiple choice questions that covered examination results, perceived value of enumerated study resources, case-based and didactic teaching conferences, board reviews, study materials for noninterpretive skills, multidisciplinary conference attendance, and free-form comments. Results Two hundred sixty-six of 1186 residents who took the Core examination responded to the survey. Some resources demonstrated a significant difference in perceived value between residents who passed the examination and residents who failed, including internal board reviews (1.10, P < .01), daily didactic conferences (1.51, P < .01), and daily case conferences (1.43, P < .01). Residents who passed reported that conferences and review sessions at their institutions were modified with multiple choice questions, audience response, and integration of clinical physics and patient safety topics compared to residents who failed. Conclusions Radiology residents and residency programs have adapted their preparations for the ABR Core examination in a variety of ways. Certain practices and study tools, including daily conferences and internal board reviews, had greater perceived value by residents who passed the examination than by residents who failed. This survey provides insights that can be used to assess and modify current preparation strategies for the ABR Core examination.

    Anime Convention Attendance in Response to Covid-19
    (Journal of Anime and Manga Studies, 2022-12-14) Alberto, Maria; Tringali, Billy
    The following report is meant to be paired with the dataset collected through the “Anime Conventions and COVID-19” survey. Designed by Maria K. Alberto and Billy Tringali, this survey collected participants’ thoughts about their involvement in and perception of anime conventions before, during, and after the Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns. Both the dataset and associated survey questions can be found in the supplemental files paired with this report, or downloaded through the Hive, the University of Utah’s Research Data Repository.

    Burden of Seizure Clusters on Patients With Epilepsy and Caregivers: Survey of Patient, Caregiver, and Clinician Perspectives
    (Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2017-11) Penovich, Patricia E.; Buelow, Janice; Steinberg, Kathy; Sirven, Joseph; Wheless, James; School of Nursing
    Objectives: To characterize the burden of seizure clusters (SC) on patients and caregivers, a large internet-based survey was conducted. Methods: The Seizure Cluster Burden of Illness US Survey was conducted online by Harris Poll on behalf of The Epilepsy Foundation in September 2014. Respondents included adult patients 18 years and above with epilepsy or a seizure disorder who had experienced SC in the past year (defined as ≥2 seizures within 24 h outside the patient’s typical seizure pattern), caregivers providing current care for a patient with SC (adult or child), and clinicians (neurologists, epileptologists) who treat adult or pediatric patients. Responses to a wide range of topics, including emotional well-being, daily function, productivity, and approach to clinical practice, were collected. Results: There were 861 respondents (259 adult SC patients, 263 caregivers, and 339 clinicians). A majority of all respondent groups felt SC have a moderate/major negative impact on patient and caregiver quality of life, including emotional, financial, and social components. Responses indicated possible overutilization of emergency room services and underutilization of rescue treatment. Only 30% of patients reported having a seizure emergency plan. Some responses showed discrepancies between clinicians and patients/caregivers in the perceived degree of negative impact of SC and management practices for SC. Conclusions: These results suggest the need for increased education on managing SC. Clinicians need to develop seizure emergency plans and discuss rescue therapies, whereas patients and caregivers need to ask for and utilize these management strategies.

    Indiana Partnerships for Success Young Adult Interview Results
    (Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health, 2019-06) Childress, Samantha; Nannery, Rebecca; Greene, Marion; Watson, Dennis
    Between January and March of 2019, the Eagleton Center for Public Interest Polling (ECPIP) at Rutgers University administered the second phase of the Indiana Young Adults Survey to a sample of the young adult population between the ages of 18-25 in each of the 10 PFS counties. Sampling included email and text message recruitment of those who completed the first phase of data collection and agreed to be contacted again, as well as text recruitment from two approved vendor lists, including both registered and non-registered voters. An oversample was done in Cass, Clark, Lake, Porter, and Vanderburgh counties to ensure the minimum number of respondents was met. A total of 887 individuals completed the survey, exceeding the target.

    Key Findings and Recommendations from the 2013 IPLA INSPECT Knowledge and Use Survey
    (Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health, 2014-06) Kooreman, Harold; Carnes, Neal; Wright, Eric
    The Center for Health Policy in collaboration with the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency and the State Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention Task Force Education Committee developed a web-based survey to gather information on prescribers and dispensers knowledge, use, and opinions of INSPECT as well as to assess prescribers and dispensers attitudes and beliefs about prescribing and dispensing opioids. Key findings suggest that both providers and dispensers are strongly supportive and frequent users of the INSPECT program; the majority of users believe INSPECT is generally effective and a valuable tool in state-wide efforts to reduce the misuse, abuse, and diversion of prescription drugs.

    (Taylor and Francis, 2019-06-08) Inman, Megan; Blevins, Amy E.; Ketterman, Elizabeth; Young, Kristen
    Over the years, library collections have vastly changed due to an ever-growing presence of resources available online. Many libraries have experienced a dramatic decrease in the circulation of physical materials with the shift to online availability of materials. It is of great value to ensure libraries are meeting the needs of their users, and this can be accomplished by identifying their information-seeking patterns. The aim of this article is to examine how faculty use the library and to identify what services and resources are of value to their work.

    Offering Induction of Labor for 22-Week Premature Rupture of Membranes: A Survey of Obstetricians.
    (NPG, 2015-08) McKenzie, Fatima; Tucker Edmonds, Brownsyne; Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, IU School of Medicine
    Objective: To describe obstetricians’ induction counseling practices for 22-week preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) and identify provider characteristics associated with offering induction. Methods: Surveyed 295 obstetricians on their likelihood (0–10) of offering induction for periviable PPROM across 10 vignettes. 22-week vignettes were analyzed, stratified by parental resuscitation preference. Bivariate analyses identified physician characteristics associated with reported likelihood ratings. Results: Obstetricians (N=205) were not likely to offer induction. Median ratings by preference were: resuscitation 1.0, uncertain 1.0, and comfort care 3.0. Only 41% of obstetricians were likely to offer induction to patients desiring comfort care. Additionally, several provider-level factors, including practice region, parenting status, and years in practice, were significantly associated with offering induction. Conclusions: Obstetricians do not readily offer induction when counseling patients with 22-week ruptured membranes, even when patients prefer palliation. This may place women at risk for infectious complications without accruing a neonatal benefit from prolonged latency.
