“…We did not anticipate the lower completion rate for men and thus did not oversample men. Nonetheless, the overall response rate for this study is consistent with other online surveys, particularly those without personalized invitations, introductory postcards, or multiple electronic reminders (Kaplowitz et al, 2004;Sax et al, 2003). Future research internet research using the SESII-W/M would be strengthened by incorporating some of these strategies to increase responding and generate a more balanced sample in terms of gender.…”

“…The response rate for the current study, 34.75% (1390/4000) is higher than studies using comparable college samples and data collection methods (e.g., Kaplowitz, Hadlock, & Levine, 2004, response rate of 25.4% with an email and reminder postcard; Sax, Gilmartin, & Bryant, 2003, 21.5%). However, the item response rate (surveys returned with all items complete; Sax, Gilmartin, & Bryant) was much lower (12% of total, and 34.6% of responders).…”

“…Additionally, although men and women were equally likely to follow the email link to the survey website, women were far more likely to complete all SESII items, leading to a gender imbalance. Research on gender differences in participation in online studies is mixed, some suggesting men are more likely to complete questionnaires while others indicating women are 29 more frequent responders (Kaplowitz, Hadlock, & Levine, 2004;Sax, Gilmartin, & Bryant, 2003). We did not anticipate the lower completion rate for men and thus did not oversample men.…”

Validation of the Sexual Excitation/Sexual Inhibition Inventory for Women and Men

et al. 2009

The purpose of the current investigation was to develop a scale that would assess propensity for sexual arousal in response to a broad range of stimuli and sexual situations in both men and women. In Study 1, data from a nonclinical sample of 481 male and female students (graduate and undergraduate) were submitted to exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses in order to develop the Sexual Excitation Sexual Inhibition Scale for Women and Men (SESII-W/M), and gender differences on the subscales were tested. In Study 2, construct validity and test-retest reliability of the SESII-W/M were assessed with a second sample of undergraduate students.The resultant measurement tool was comprised of six subscales: Inhibitory Cognitions, Relationship Importance, Arousability, Partner Characteristics and Behaviors, Setting (Unusual or Unconcealed), and Dyadic Elements of the Sexual Interaction. The measure demonstrated good test-retest reliability and discriminant and convergent validity. The SESII-W/M will likely be a useful measure in investigations in which sexual inhibition and sexual excitation must be assessed identically for men and women.

“…Interestingly, the classification accuracy in the Contractile Dysfunction Syndrome (77%) appears to be lower compared to that in the Articular Dysfunction Syndrome (93%). In addition, agreement less than 80% happened in seven vignettes (Vignettes 5,9,10,11,12,14,17) and the same happened in the previous study 8 recruiting Dip.MDT practitioners except Vignettes 10 and 11. Vignette 11 is an example of the Contractile Dysfunction Syndrome.…”

“…The participation ratio seemed acceptable as the response ratio in internet survey is expected to be about 20% -50%. [11][12][13] This study found that the majority of the Cred.MDT practitioners in Japan did not use MDT most of the time for the management of patients with extremity problems and were not confident to apply MDT to patients with extremity problems. However, the overall accuracy of their MDT classification for extremity problems was high and the inter-examiner agreement of the classification seemed acceptable, which are similar Values are expressed with mean ± SD or Number (%).…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate attitudes towards Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT) for extremity problems and inter-examiner reliability of classifying extremity problems into MDT subgroups by credentialed practitioners in MDT (Cred.MDT) in Japan. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was used and all 120 Cred.MDT practitioners registered in the McKenzie Institute International Japan branch were asked about their attitude towards MDT for extremity problems and were asked to select the most appropriate MDT subgroup for each of the 25 extremity patient vignettes. Model classifications were used to investigate accuracy of classification. Percent agreement and Kappa analyses were examined. Results: Sixty practitioners (50%) participated in this study. For the management of patients with extremity problems, the majority did not use MDT most of the time (53%) due to a lack of confidence in using MDT in the extremities (78%). The overall accuracy for their MDT classification for extremity problems was 87% (Fleiss's κ = 0.78). Conclusions: The majority of the Cred.MDT practitioners in Japan did not use MDT frequently and were not confident to use MDT with extremity patients. However, accuracy and inter-examiner agreement of their MDT classification from the information on the assessment sheet was good.

ABSTRACTObjective: A reunification tool that captures images of children at the time of the disaster would enable parents to locate their missing children, particularly if the children are unable to communicate their identity. This study assessed the ideal features and parameters of a photographic-based reunification tool.Methods: A convenience sample of federal, state, and hospital-based emergency management professionals were surveyed to elicit their preferences regarding an image-based reunification algorithm, to assess the parents' level of difficulty in viewing images with facial trauma, and to determine the minimum percentage of successful reunifications needed to justify adoption of a reunification tool.Results: Of 322 emergency management professionals surveyed, 129 (40%) responded. Only 18% favored a photographic-based tool that would display images in which only the categories of age, gender, and facial features (eye, hair, and skin color) would exactly match the parent's description of the child. However, 72% preferred a broader, less-rigid system in which the images displayed would match all or most features in the parents’ description of the missing child, allowing parents to view more of the image database. Most (85%) preferred a tool showing unedited images of living children, allowing parents to view facial trauma. However, more respondents reported that parents would find viewing unedited images with facial trauma somewhat or very difficult emotionally compared with edited images for both living (77% vs 20%, P <. 001) and deceased children (91% vs 70%, P <. 001.) In a disaster involving 1000 children, a tool that reunites a minimum of 10% of families would be adopted by over 50% of the participants. Participants were willing to accept a lower percentage of reunifications in a disaster involving 1000 children compared with disasters involving 10 (P <. 001) or 100 children. (P <. 001).Conclusions: Emergency management professionals identified desirable characteristics of a photographic-based reunification tool, including an algorithm displaying unedited photographs of missing children that loosely matches the parents' description, acknowledging the parents' emotional difficulty in viewing photographs with facial trauma. Participants were also willing to accept a lower percentage of successful reunifications as the scale of the disaster size increased.(Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2012;6:156–162)
