“…Our finding that a single general prompt was not sufficient to motivate inoculation behavior is consistent with the Kentucky Health Department research (Martin et al, 1967(Martin et al, , 1969, but conflicts with the Ohio Health Department findings (Young et al, 1980). The significant results reported by Young et al (1980) may have been due to a combination of not sampling preschoolers of all ages and not sampling a population known to be immunization deficient.…”

We evaluated the relative impact of four procedures designed to encourage parents to obtain immunizations for their children. In a public health setting, the families of 1,133 immunizationdeficient preschool children were randomly assigned to six conditions: (a) a general prompt; (b) a more client-specific prompt; (c) a specific prompt and increased public health clinic access; (d) a specific prompt and monetary incentives; (e) contact control; and (f) no contact control. All interventions, except the general prompt, produced some evidence of improvement when compared with the control groups. The monetary incentive group revealed the largest effect, followed by the increased access group, specific prompt group, and general prompt group, respectively. The data suggest that relatively powerful and immediate effects on preschoolers' clinic attendance for immunization may be produced by monetary incentives in conjunction with dient-specific prompts. However, client-specific prompts alone appear to be the most cost-effective of the interventions.

“…When compared to a no-contact "at-risk" control, this general prompt produced a significant 16%; increase. These findings, however, were not supported by the Kentucky Health Department studies, which also used a single general prompt (Martin, Fleming, Fleming, & Scott, 1969; Martin, Scott, Underwood, & Thurber, 1967).…”

“…In particular, software engineering tools that aim to support information-intensive activities should be focused to provide a fundamental understanding of whether software tools features are useful. Reference [7] makes four contributions to software engineering on IFT perspective. Firstly, IFT was operationalized for different types of information-intensive software engineering activities.…”

Information Foraging Theory (IFT) explains and predicts how people navigate in response to the information in their environment. It has proven particularly helpful in both behavior prediction and practical utility for Web design. We gleaned from science citation index expanded (SCI-EXPANED) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) database on web of science, concerning advances in information foraging research. The result indicates that the main research territory is USA accounting for 64.706%, then followed by IRELAND of 11.765%. Accordingly, the organizations are Indiana Univ Natl Univ Ireland Univ Coll Cork, Oregon State Univ Parc and Univ Memphis. The number of publication literature on this topic mainly distributes in recently 7 years, reaching climax of 6 in 2013. And from the analysis of research area, research on computer science accounts for 70.588%. Accordingly the percentage of source title as decision support systems is 11.765%. Overall, the related research topics can be classified in four areas: long tail research, software engineering research, information search behaviour and emergency response. New opportunities for future research are discussed in the end.

“…Economic and demographic measures of socioeconomic status, particularly parental education, income, family size, and race, have consistently been shown to influence receipt of immunization (4, 14,18,26,27,29,43,44,46,48,50,52,58,62). A national telephone survey of access to health care, conducted in 1986 by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, found that children who were uninsured, poor, or nonwhite were less likely to have seen a physician in the past year, and uninsured children under age 5 were less likely to have up-to-date immunizations.…”
