Nonlinear impact of built environment on people with disabilities’ metro use behavior

Ensuring equal access to public transportation for people with disabilities is crucial for social equity and sustainable urban development. The physical characteristics and travel preferences of people with disabilities may lead to unique spatial and temporal characteristics of metro use behavior and make them more likely to be influenced by built environment characteristics. We tested this hypothesis by comparing metro travel behavior in Wuhan, China, for people with and without disabilities. The results showed that people with disabilities take more and shorter metro trips than people without disabilities. The relative importance of built environment features in influencing metro ridership displays notable distinctions between people with disabilities and those without, as indicated by the outcomes of the gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT) model. For metro ridership among people with disabilities, street density, the number of medical facilities, and the building plot ratio are the top three influencing variables on weekdays, while the number of shopping centers, medical facilities, and recreational facilities are the top three on weekends. Additionally, these variables exhibit clear nonlinear associations on metro ridership for both groups. The findings offer new insights for providing a better travel environment for people with disabilities and thus promoting transportation equity.

Preferences of people with diabetes for diabetes care in Germany: a discrete choice experiment

ABSTRACT Objectives The objective of this study is to elicit health care preferences of people with diabetes and identify classes of people with different preferences. Methods A discrete choice experiment was conducted among people with diabetes in Germany comprising attributes of role division in daily diabetes care planning, type of lifestyle education, support for correct medication intake, consultation frequency, emotional support, and time spent on self-management. A conditional logit model and a latent class model were used to elicit preferences toward diabetes care and analyze preference heterogeneity. Results A total of 76 people with diabetes, recruited in two specialized diabetes care centers in Germany (mean age 51.9 years, 37.3% women, 49.1% type 2 diabetes mellitus, 50.9% type 1 diabetes mellitus), completed the discrete choice experiment. The most important attributes were consultation frequency, division in daily diabetes care planning, and correct medication intake. The latent class model detected preference heterogeneity by identifying two latent classes which differ mainly with respect to lifestyle education and medication intake. Conclusion While the majority of people with diabetes showed preferences in line with current health care provision in Germany, a relevant subgroup wished to strengthen lifestyle education and medication intake support with an aid or website.

Patient and Public Perceptions in Canada About Decentralized and Hybrid Clinical Trials: “It’s About Time we Bring Trials to People”

BackgroundLittle is known about patient and the public perspectives on decentralized and hybrid clinical trials in Canada.MethodsWe conducted an online survey (English and French) promoted on social media to understand perspectives of people in Canada about decentralized and hybrid clinical trials. The survey had two sections. We co-produced this project entirely with patient, caregiver, and family partners.ResultsThe survey had 284 (14 French) individuals who started or completed Section 1, and 180 (16 French) individuals who started or completed Section 2. People prefer to have options to participate in clinical trials where aspects are decentralized or hybridized. 79% of respondents preferred to have options related to study visits. There were concerns about handling adverse events or potential complications in decentralized trials, however, communication options such as a dedicated contact person for participants was deemed helpful. Most respondents were amenable to informed consent being done at a satellite site closer to home or via technology and were split on privacy concerns about this. Most preferred travel to a site within an hour, depending on what the trial was for or its impact on quality of life. Due to the response rate, we were unable to explore associations with gender, age, health status, geography, ethnicity, and prior clinical trial participation.ConclusionOur findings indicate an openness in Canada to participating in trials that decentralize or hybridize some aspects. These trials are perceived to provide benefits to participants and ways to increase equity and accessibility for participants.

Mandatory Warning Signs for Cannabis: Perspectives and Preferences of Pregnant and Recently Pregnant People Who Use Cannabis.

Five U.S. states where recreational cannabis is legal require Mandatory Warning Signs for cannabis use during pregnancy (MWS-cannabis) to be posted in cannabis dispensaries. Previous research has found adverse health consequences associated with MWS-cannabis and that people lack trust in information on signs. This qualitative study explores people's perspectives and preferences regarding MWS-cannabis. We conducted in-depth interviews with 34 pregnant or recently pregnant individuals from multiple states with varying policy climates in the U.S. who used cannabis before and/or during pregnancy. We asked participants about their perspectives on MWS-cannabis and reactions to specific messages. We reviewed transcripts using thematic analysis. Participants reported mostly negative views on MWS-cannabis, suggesting they may have stigmatizing and negative impacts on pregnant people who use cannabis, discouraging them from seeking care. Many said that the scientific evidence is not strong enough to justify MWS-cannabis, and that they are unlikely to deter pregnant people from using cannabis. Participants asserted that vague or fear-based messages, distrust of government, and the location and timing of the signs undermine the goals of MWS-cannabis. When reacting to specific messages, participants preferred messages that are evidence-based, clear, specific, and aligned with autonomous decision-making. Pregnant and recently pregnant people who use cannabis have mostly negative perceptions of MWS-cannabis and believe they have negative consequences. More work is needed to develop health information resources that meet the needs of people who use cannabis in pregnancy without increasing stigma.

Learning in the wild – exploring interactive notifications to foster organic retention of everyday media content

ABSTRACT The amount of information we consume daily through smartphones has prompted the development of Personal Knowledge Management Systems (PKMS). However, these external memory aids can lead to overreliance and do not help to keep information in our organic memory. This paper presents the design and evaluation of MemoryMate, an app that fosters recall of saved content through interactive notifications. The app's design is based on insights from a focus group (N = 7) that inquired about people's expectations and preferences regarding the notification design. The results of a three-week in-the-wild study (N = 23) of MemoryMate suggest that notifications could trigger engagement with saved content, and two-thirds of participants felt notifications improved their memory and retention. Retrieval practice notifications with interactive tasks performed well and received positive feedback. Content priority and time since the last interaction influenced notification engagement, emphasising the need for periodic reminders to maintain user interest in saved content. We discuss potential implications for the design of PKMSs as a tool for lifelong learning.

Exploring the experiences, priorities and preferences of people living with Parkinson's on exercise and physical activity promotion in the UK.

People with Parkinson's (PwP) want access to timely, relevant, and specific exercise and physical activity (PA) information to enable them to manage their symptoms and maintain wellbeing and quality of life. Research that promotes exercise in this population group is limited. Little is also known about the clinical practice around PA promotion in this population, especially around the time of diagnosis. To explore the experiences, preferences, and priorities of PwP around exercise and PA promotion and assess their knowledge on these topics. A cross-sectional online survey for PwP in the United Kingdom was conducted from July to December 2021. 430 participants started the survey and 405 completed it. Participants had a mean age of 65.1 (±9.2) and had been living with Parkinson's for a varying time (up to 2 years = 38%, up to 6 years = 39% and for 7 or more years = 23%). Most participants reported they had not received an education (68%; n = 276) or exercise intervention (54%; n = 217) as part of their routine management by the National Health Service (NHS) since diagnosis and had sought services privately. Knowledge of the overall benefits of exercise was good, however participants lacked specific knowledge on the impact of Parkinson's Disease (PD) on posture, falls and muscle strength. 90% of participants reported they would participate in an exercise and PA education interventions. PwP want exercise and PA education interventions that provide knowledge, skills and access to opportunities that enable participation. For the majority, these interventions have not been provided as part of their routine care pathway. To align with the priorities and preferences of PwP, interventions should be offered around the time of diagnosis, include content that is relevant and specific to how exercise and PA can mitigate symptoms of PD and should be delivered in person or online in a group setting.

Community’s Preferences To Perform Marriages At Home After The Issuance Of Government Regulation No. 48 Of 2014

The Government Regulation No. 48 of 2014 concerning Tariffs for Non-Tax State Revenues that apply to the Ministry of Religion, among others, stipulates that the cost of registering marriages performed at the religious affairs office (RAO) on working days and hours is zero rupiah (free), whereas if a married is performed at home, it is subject to a fee of IDR 600,000. In fact, many people still perform marriages at home. Against this phenomenon, there are two interesting problems to study. First, how is public knowledge about the Government Regulation No. 48 of 2014? Second, what are the reasons beyond people's preferences for marriages at home instead of at RAO? This study belonged to empirical socio-legal research in the form of field research and applied a qualitative descriptive analysis method. The conclusion of this study fell into two. First, there were still many people who did not know and understood the Government Regulation No. 48 of 2014. The things that underlined people's preferences for marriages at home entailed views and beliefs of the marriage sacredness, tradition or custom, self-respect, avoiding negative images, limited RAO’s facilities, convenience, the distance of RAO, and time efficiency.

A user perspective on youth mental health services: Increasing help‐seeking behaviour requires addressing service preferences and attitudinal barriers

AbstractAimAlthough the incidence of mental health problems is highest in young people, the majority do not seek help. Reducing the discrepancy between need for care and access to services requires an understanding of the user perspective, which is largely lacking. This study aimed to examine preferences for mental health service attributes and their relative importance among young people, as well as the potential impact on actual help‐seeking intentions.MethodsYouth aged 16–24 years (N = 258) participated in a discrete choice experiment. In addition to choosing which service would suit their needs most out of two service options in nine choice sets, participants were asked whether they would consult the chosen service in the case of mental health problems. Demographic information was also collected, as well as their current mental health status, experience with and perceived barriers to care. Panel mixed logit models were estimated.ResultsYoung people's preferences were mostly driven by the attribute ‘format’, with a preference for individual rather than group therapy. Other attributes, in order of importance, were ‘wait times’ (short), ‘cost’ (low), ‘healthcare professionals' expertise’ (particular experience with working with youth aged 12 to 25 years), and ‘location’ (house in a city). However, a majority of young people would not consult the service they had indicated, mainly due to attitudinal barriers such as wanting to deal with problems on their own (self‐reliance).ConclusionsAddressing psychological barriers to access care should be a priority in mental health policies. Furthermore, entry point services, in particular, should be able to provide the option of individual treatment.

Effect of street trees shade on perceived thermal comfort in a south temperate climate: The sidewalks of Montevideo (Uruguay)

The use of vegetation in cities is one of the most promising strategies for urban climate change adaptation and mitigation. Tree shade influences heat storage from surfaces reducing long wave radiation emission which directly affects people. People 's heat perception depends more on insolation and the temperature of surrounding objects than on air temperature itself. There is a need for analyzes that include the combined effects of physical and human variables on thermal comfort, as well as location-based studies to address its climatic and social conditions. In order to compare the effect of the trees on microenvironmental temperature and perceived thermal comfort, we measured physical parameters and performed structured interviews on three downtown streets of Montevideo, Uruguay, which had sections with and without trees on four dates during the summer. Generally, people surveyed under both treatments stated they did not feel fully comfortable due to summer heat, but the proportion of people who stated feeling in thermal comfort under tree shade was more than double than the unshaded sections.The seasonal ARIMA analysis supported that the tree shade reduced the microenvironmental temperature by its effect on radiant temperature. By using a statistical decision tree methodology that combines all the variables in the same analysis, we found a greater impact of physical variables than personal variables on people's thermal comfort and thermal preferences. We also identified gender as a significant variable that affects people's thermal preferences, where 46.4 % of females preferred a slightly colder environment.

The role of conflict representation in abstinence versus moderation in self-control.

Self-control-the prioritization of valued global goals over immediate local rewards-is typically conceptualized and studied as isolated decisions. Goal pursuit, however, generally requires people to make repeated self-control decisions across contexts. We adopt a higher order, strategic level of analysis of self-control and explore, for the first time, people's preferences for abstinence (a pattern of choices in which one never indulges) versus moderation (a pattern of choices in which one indulges when doing so does not harm one's goals or even helps promote the pursuit of those goals). To understand when and why people may opt for one over the other, the present work explores one psychological feature that may support these strategy preferences: the representation of self-control conflicts as inherent (i.e., choice options are mutually contradictory) versus situational (i.e., choice options compete for limited resources). We present eight studies in the main text and three in the online Supplemental Materials documenting that people associate inherent and situational conflict representations with abstinence and moderation, respectively. By documenting that strategy preferences may differ as a function of conflict representations, this work questions the assumption of abstinence as the primary indicator of self-control success, raises methodological and conceptual questions about how best to assess these strategy preferences, and calls for greater understanding of self-control as a recurrent decision-making process.

A Sociological study of the religious identity of young people in Central Asia and Europe (following the example of Kyrgyz Republic and the Republic of Poland)

The purpose of the article is to determine the situation in the field of religious preferences of young people in the Kyrgyz Republic and the Republic of Poland by studying the specific features and dynamics of the development of traditional beliefs in the Central Asian and European regions. The main methods used in the preparation of the work were the system-analytical method and the statistical method. The characteristic features of different areas of religion in Asia, as well as the origins and root causes of the formation and development of religious trends in Kyrgyzstan, are studied. The key moments in the history of the transformation of the Kyrgyz society in the XVIII-XXI centuries are outlined in the context of the influence of this process on the emergence of specific signs of local religious trends. Different approaches and concepts to the study of the young generation of the Central Asian Republic and Poland are evaluated by considering the qualitative and quantitative results of a number of sociological surveys. The results and conclusions of this work can be used as a basis for the development and implementation of a number of political and social reforms with an emphasis on raising awareness of the issue among the younger generation of Kyrgyzstan.

Owning versus Renting a Home—Prospects for Generation Z

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) include sustainable cities and communities. The availability of housing for young people is a contemporary global problem, and the severity of housing problems for young people in many countries is widely discussed and raises important policy questions. Generation Z, described as digital, critical, adventurous, open-minded and, above all, mobile people, is now entering adulthood. The study attempted to identify the housing preferences of young people to determine whether they prefer renting a flat or owning one. Although generation Z differs from older generations in many respects, their perception of the housing issue does not differ significantly from the attitudes presented by older generations. The dominant model of the housing system in Poland, the non-commodified-familial model, which prefers ownership over renting, is also shared by the youngest generation. Hence, the conclusion addressed to the public authorities and the financing system is to enable the expansion of the credit offer supported by a long-term savings plan aimed at young people. Renting as an alternative way of securing housing needs is also perceived positively, with nearly 80% of respondents stating that they would be able to live in rented accommodation, mainly due to greater mobility, rising property prices and reluctance to take out a long-term loan. Hence, we suggest the need to support institutional renting along the lines of other countries with similar housing systems.
