“…Some topics for Theraflu and acetaminophen were related to how people who consumed these drugs also tended to use natural or home flu remedies ( Multimedia Appendix 2 , table MA3, topic 1: soup, chicken, noodle, juice, orange, care, flu, work, sleepy, warm, easier, food, drinkin, spicy, vodka) and ( Multimedia Appendix 2 , table MA5: fever, throat, juice, recommend, drowsy, soup, temp, symptom, strep, spray, orange, tea). However, there is a need to provide awareness to people so that they use these home remedies only as early interventions or in conjunction with clinically prescribed drugs for effective treatment of the flu [ 70 ]. The following tweets indicate that some people use drugs such as Theraflu and acetaminophen in conjunction with home remedies:…”

BackgroundUptake of medicinal drugs (preventive or treatment) is among the approaches used to control disease outbreaks, and therefore, it is of vital importance to be aware of the counts or frequencies of most commonly used drugs and trending topics about these drugs from consumers for successful implementation of control measures. Traditional survey methods would have accomplished this study, but they are too costly in terms of resources needed, and they are subject to social desirability bias for topics discovery. Hence, there is a need to use alternative efficient means such as Twitter data and machine learning (ML) techniques.ObjectiveUsing Twitter data, the aim of the study was to (1) provide a methodological extension for efficiently extracting widely consumed drugs during seasonal influenza and (2) extract topics from the tweets of these drugs and to infer how the insights provided by these topics can enhance seasonal influenza surveillance.MethodsFrom tweets collected during the 2012-13 flu season, we first identified tweets with mentions of drugs and then constructed an ML classifier using dependency words as features. The classifier was used to extract tweets that evidenced consumption of drugs, out of which we identified the mostly consumed drugs. Finally, we extracted trending topics from each of these widely used drugs’ tweets using latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA).ResultsOur proposed classifier obtained an F1 score of 0.82, which significantly outperformed the two benchmark classifiers (ie, P<.001 with the lexicon-based and P=.048 with the 1-gram term frequency [TF]). The classifier extracted 40,428 tweets that evidenced consumption of drugs out of 50,828 tweets with mentions of drugs. The most widely consumed drugs were influenza virus vaccines that had around 76.95% (31,111/40,428) share of the total; other notable drugs were Theraflu, DayQuil, NyQuil, vitamins, acetaminophen, and oseltamivir. The topics of each of these drugs exhibited common themes or experiences from people who have consumed these drugs. Among these were the enabling and deterrent factors to influenza drugs uptake, which are keys to mitigating the severity of seasonal influenza outbreaks.ConclusionsThe study results showed the feasibility of using tweets of widely consumed drugs to enhance seasonal influenza surveillance in lieu of the traditional or conventional surveillance approaches. Public health officials and other stakeholders can benefit from the findings of this study, especially in enhancing strategies for mitigating the severity of seasonal influenza outbreaks. The proposed methods can be extended to the outbreaks of other diseases.

“…SWPBIS has been designed to be systematic, comprehensive, and purposeful, and the framework for its implementation includes explicit steps that must be met to work toward maintaining the fidelity of the SWPBIS framework (Evanovich & Scott, 2016). As more schools move to adopt the SWPBIS framework, it is critical to identify the key features or actions of leadership that is supportive of a sustainable, successful, and high-quality SWPBIS implementation.…”

The purpose of the study was to investigate the leadership practices that elementary school administrators and leadership teams utilize to promote effective, successful, and sustainable schoolwide positive behavioral interventions and supports (SWPBIS). The study focused on the practices, processes, and challenges that administrators and school leaders indicated led to the successful implementation of the SWPBIS framework. Twenty-four school leaders (six administrators; 18 leadership team members) from five elementary schools with platinum recognition for their high-quality SWPBIS implementation participated. School administrators participated in an in-person interview, and leadership team members participated in focus group interviews. Results revealed that successful SWPBIS framework implementation was promoted by establishing a distributed leadership approach that leveraged teachers as leaders while shaping their buildings’ systems of practices and processes, providing training and professional development to staff, establishing buy-in by stakeholders, and engaging stakeholders in their PBIS efforts.
