Abstract

IntroductionThe Alzheimer's Disease Composite Score (ADCOMS) is a tool developed to detect clinical progression and measure treatment effect in patients in early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The psychometric properties of the ADCOMS have been established; however, the threshold for clinical meaningfulness has yet to be identified.MethodsAnchor-based, distribution-based, and ROC curve analyses were used to estimate clinically meaningful thresholds for change in ADCOMS for patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and AD dementia. This study included data from three sources: the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (NACC), and a legacy dataset that included data from four sources: the placebo group from three MCI trials and an earlier data cut from ADNI. Results were stratified by disease severity (MCI vs. dementia) and APOE ε4 carrier status.ResultsA total of 5355 participants were included in the analysis. The ADCOMS was able to detect change for MCI and dementia patients who experienced a meaningful decline in cognition (as defined by the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale Sum of Boxes [CDR-SOB]) between baseline and month 12. The following ADCOMS cut-offs were proposed: 0.05 for MCI and 0.10 for dementia.ConclusionsThe ADCOMS was previously established as a valid and reliable tool for use in clinical trials for MCI due to AD and dementia populations. By defining thresholds for clinically meaningful change of ADCOMS, this work is an important step in interpreting clinical findings and estimates of treatment effects in early stage AD trials.

Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, forecasting COVID-19 trends to support planning and response was a priority for scientists and decision makers alike. In the United States, COVID-19 forecasting was coordinated by a large group of universities, companies, and government entities led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the US COVID-19 Forecast Hub (https://covid19forecasthub.org). We evaluated approximately 9.7 million forecasts of weekly state-level COVID-19 cases for predictions 1–4 weeks into the future submitted by 24 teams from August 2020 to December 2021. We assessed coverage of central prediction intervals and weighted interval scores (WIS), adjusting for missing forecasts relative to a baseline forecast, and used a Gaussian generalized estimating equation (GEE) model to evaluate differences in skill across epidemic phases that were defined by the effective reproduction number. Overall, we found high variation in skill across individual models, with ensemble-based forecasts outperforming other approaches. Forecast skill relative to the baseline was generally higher for larger jurisdictions (e.g., states compared to counties). Over time, forecasts generally performed worst in periods of rapid changes in reported cases (either in increasing or decreasing epidemic phases) with 95% prediction interval coverage dropping below 50% during the growth phases of the winter 2020, Delta, and Omicron waves. Ideally, case forecasts could serve as a leading indicator of changes in transmission dynamics. However, while most COVID-19 case forecasts outperformed a naïve baseline model, even the most accurate case forecasts were unreliable in key phases. Further research could improve forecasts of leading indicators, like COVID-19 cases, by leveraging additional real-time data, addressing performance across phases, improving the characterization of forecast confidence, and ensuring that forecasts were coherent across spatial scales. In the meantime, it is critical for forecast users to appreciate current limitations and use a broad set of indicators to inform pandemic-related decision making. Author summary: As SARS-CoV-2 began to spread throughout the world in early 2020, modelers played a critical role in predicting how the epidemic could take shape. Short-term forecasts of epidemic outcomes (for example, infections, cases, hospitalizations, or deaths) provided useful information to support pandemic planning, resource allocation, and intervention. Yet, infectious disease forecasting is still a nascent science, and the reliability of different types of forecasts is unclear. We retrospectively evaluated COVID-19 case forecasts, which were often unreliable. For example, forecasts did not anticipate the speed of increase in cases in early winter 2020. This analysis provides insights on specific problems that could be addressed in future research to improve forecasts and their use. Identifying the strengths and weaknesses of forecasts is critical to improving forecasting for current and future public health responses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Purpose: Telegenetics has become the predominant mode of cancer genetic counseling during the COVID-19 pandemic. We sought to identify potential patient-level contraindicators for telegenetic genetic counseling. Methods: We analyzed post-counseling (pre-result disclosure) follow-up data from a randomized noninferiority trial of a telephone genetic counseling versus usual care genetic counseling. Among 669 randomized participants, 600 completed pre-test counseling and 568 completed a 2-week follow-up assessment before receiving test results. In this analysis, we focused on genetic counseling outcomes (knowledge, decisional conflict, and distress). In multivariate models controlling for bivariate predictors of these outcomes, we tested our a priori hypotheses that pre-counseling numeracy, perceived stress, and race/ethnicity would moderate the outcomes of telephone genetic counseling versus usual care. Results: Only numeracy significantly moderated associations between mode of genetic counseling and outcomes. Higher numeracy was associated with higher post-counseling knowledge following telephone genetic counseling (p < 0.001), but not usual care (p = 0.450). Higher numeracy was also associated with lower distress following telephone genetic counseling (p = 0.009) but not usual care (p = 0.16). Neither perceived stress nor race/ethnicity exhibited differential impacts on telephone genetic counseling versus usual care (p s > 0.20). Conclusion: Although high numeracy was associated with higher levels of knowledge following telegenetic counseling, we did not identify any clinically significant patient-level contraindicators for telegenetic counseling. These results lend further confidence to the broad use of telegenetics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

8. Writing and Sharing Teaching Cases: A Practical Method of Collaborative Self-Study.

Author

Richards, Janet C. and Barksdale-Ladd, Mary Alice

Abstract

The aims of this paper are to: (1) illustrate a practical, collaborative methodology that helps to provide insights into teaching perspectives and practices; (2) provide information about a self-study approach that had the potential to assist educational practitioners in diverse roles and contexts develop understanding about themselves, their professional milieus, and their work; and (3) encourage educational practitioners to engage in dialogic, collegial forms of self-study as a means of reflection and as a way of extending the boundaries of their thinking. Two literacy teacher educators report on writing and sharing teaching cases with each other as practical, collaborative self-inquiry methodology. Their experience in case writing and shared feedback is presented through two examples of teaching cases, with commentaries. The two teachers conclude that authoring and sharing teaching cases has enhanced their understanding of the distinctly unique nature of teachers' decisions and actions, focused attention on how decisions are made, and helped the them recognize the extent to which their decisions impact students and others. Writing about teaching has also challenged them to new modes of thinking about themselves as teacher educators. (Contains 41 references.) (ND)

9. The Transition from Traditional to Whole Language Instruction: A Continuum from Reformers to Resistors.

Author

Schweiker, Karyn E. and Barksdale-Ladd, Mary Alice

Abstract

Factors that influenced teachers to become reformers, reviewers, or resistors to whole language were investigated with specific examination of school culture. In this study three transitioning school sites were selected on the basis of their similarity in staffing and student size. Participants from each school involved three to four classroom teachers who were in various stages of transition; their Chapter 1 teacher; the Chapter 1 director; and the principal. The researcher audiotaped all 17 interviews; collected teachers' lesson plans, and took photographs of the classrooms. A phenomenological approach to the data analysis resulted in nine categories directly related to the teachers' attitudes toward a transition to whole language. These categories revealed three external influences and three subjective influences. The external influences which consisted of the Chapter 1 program, school culture, and the role of the principal had a stronger influence on those teachers resisting or reviewing whole language while the subjective factors such as knowledge of whole language, professional development, and level of acceptance had a stronger influence on those teachers already involved in the transition. The researcher concluded that the three school's cultures (by allowing interaction among reviewing, resisting, and reforming teachers) created trust which is needed in order for a stable change to occur.

Abstract

Academic researchers, government agencies, industry groups, and individuals have produced forecasts at an unprecedented scale during the COVID-19 pandemic. To leverage these forecasts, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) partnered with an academic research lab at the University of Massachusetts Amherst to create the US COVID-19 Forecast Hub. Launched in April 2020, the Forecast Hub is a dataset with point and probabilistic forecasts of incident cases, incident hospitalizations, incident deaths, and cumulative deaths due to COVID-19 at county, state, and national, levels in the United States. Included forecasts represent a variety of modeling approaches, data sources, and assumptions regarding the spread of COVID-19. The goal of this dataset is to establish a standardized and comparable set of short-term forecasts from modeling teams. These data can be used to develop ensemble models, communicate forecasts to the public, create visualizations, compare models, and inform policies regarding COVID-19 mitigation. These open-source data are available via download from GitHub, through an online API, and through R packages.

Abstract

Cafe Ohlone, the world's first Ohlone restaurant, opened in 2018 with the goal of reclaiming cultural heritage and educating the public. It is part of a growing movement of Indigenous restaurants dedicated to celebrating and promoting Indigenous foods. The founders, Vincent Medina and Louis Trevino, aim to increase Ohlone visibility beyond the restaurant by raising money to buy a piece of local land for native plant gardens and cultural traditions. The restaurant also serves as an attempt by the University of California, Berkeley, to atone for past wrongs, as it is located near an anthropology museum that housed Native artifacts and bones. The university is working to return these resources to tribal nations. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

Teacher empowerment is an integral component of professional development. Cognizant of this, educators have introduced school-university partnerships such as professional development schools (PDSs). PDSs serve as vehicles for professional development, shared decision-making and the development of teacher empowerment. However, an evaluation of PDSs revealed that more time must be spent in establishing trust, cooperation and a shared vision between schools and universities.

Abstract

Risk-reducing mastectomy (RRM) and salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) are increasingly used to reduce breast and ovarian cancer risk following BRCA1/BRCA2 testing. However, little is known about how genetic counseling influences decisions about these surgeries. Although previous studies have examined intentions prior to counseling, few have examined RRM and RRSO intentions in the critical window between genetic counseling and test result disclosure. Previous research has indicated that intentions at this time point predict subsequent uptake of surgery, suggesting that much decision-making has taken place prior to result disclosure. This period may be a critical time to better understand the drivers of prophylactic surgery intentions. The aim of this study was to examine predictors of RRM and RRSO intentions. We hypothesized that variables from the Health Belief Model would predict intentions, and we also examined the role of affective factors. Participants were 187 women, age 21–75, who received genetic counseling for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. We utilized multiple logistic regression to identify independent predictors of intentions. 49.2% and 61.3% of participants reported intentions for RRM and RRSO, respectively. Variables associated with RRM intentions include: newly diagnosed with breast cancer (OR = 3.63, 95% CI = 1.20–11.04), perceived breast cancer risk (OR = 1.46, 95% CI = 1.17–1.81), perceived pros (OR = 1.79, 95% CI = 1.38–2.32) and cons of RRM (OR = 0.81, 95% CI = 0.65–0.996), and decision conflict (OR = 0.80, 95% CI = 0.66–0.98). Variables associated with RRSO intentions include: proband status (OR = 0.28, 95% CI = 0.09–0.89), perceived pros (OR = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.11–1.63) and cons of RRSO (OR = 0.72, 95% CI = 0.59–0.89), and ambiguity aversion (OR = 0.79, 95% CI = 0.65–0.95). These data provide support for the role of genetic counseling in fostering informed decisions about risk management, and suggest that the role of uncertainty should be explored further.
