まとめ
タバコ政策の研究の審査員には,関連する専門知識が欠けていました. 研究セクションには"同級生"が不足しており,タバコ規制政策の研究を妨げていた. これは,重要な公衆衛生イニシアチブの助成金審査と資金調達に影響を及ぼします.
科学分野:
- 公衆衛生研究 公共衛生研究
- 健康政策分析 医療政策分析
- グラント審査プロセス グラント審査プロセス
背景:
- 研究部門のメンバーの専門知識を評価することは,特にタバコ政策のような専門分野において,効果的な助成金審査に不可欠です.
- 以前のタバコ政策研究助成金の審査は,審査員の資格について疑問を投げかけました.
- 査読者の専門知識を理解することは,研究提案の公正で正確な評価を確保するための鍵です.
研究 の 目的:
- 評価をするために,
- カリフォルニア州たばこ関連疾患研究プログラム,喫煙研究部門の行動および公衆衛生研究,および保健政策・研究機関 (AHCPR) の広報研究部門の審査員の"ピア"地位.
- 査読者がたばこ政策に関する関連する専門知識と出版歴を有しているかどうかを判断する.
主な方法:
- MEDLINEの検索 (1989年-1993年) では,キーワード"tobacco. "を使用したレビュー者による出版物が見つかりました.
- 査読者の出版物は,たばこ政策研究の関連性について分析されました.
- コントロールとして,国立衛生研究所心血管研究科のレビュー者 (キーワード"心臓") の出版物を分析した.
主要な成果:
- タバコ関連疾患研究プログラムの審査員の33%は"タバコ"に関する出版物を持っていなかった;彼らの専門性は,政策ではなく,禁煙/予防に焦点を当てた.
- AHCPRの査読者は"たばこ"に関する出版物を持っていなかった.
- 対照的に,米国国立衛生研究所の審査員の100%が"ハート"の出版物を持ち,そのうちのいくつかは助成金の主題の主要な専門知識を持っていた.
結論:
- 研究部門のメンバーの専門的な関心事は,提案の評価と優先度スコアに大きな影響を与えます.
- 審査されたたばこ研究セクションには,対照群とは異なり,たばこ政策研究における十分な"同級生"が欠けていました.
- これらの審査委員会の構成は,たばこ規制政策研究の進展を妨げている.

Types of Selection
Natural selection influences the frequencies of particular alleles and phenotypes within populations in several different ways. Primarily, natural selection can be directional, stabilizing, or disruptive. Directional selection favors one extreme trait and shifts the population towards that phenotype while selecting against individuals displaying alternate traits. Stabilizing selection favors an intermediate trait with a narrow range of variation. Deviation from the optimal phenotype towards an...
Frequency-dependent Selection
When the fitness of a trait is influenced by how common it is (i.e., its frequency) relative to different traits within a population, this is referred to as frequency-dependent selection. Frequency-dependent selection may occur between species or within a single species. This type of selection can either be positive—with more common phenotypes having higher fitness—or negative, with rarer phenotypes conferring increased fitness.Positive Frequency-Dependent SelectionIn positive...
Group Design
The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between the two are due to...
Quantifying and Rejecting Outliers: The Grubbs Test
Sometimes, a data set can have a recorded numerical observation that greatly deviates from the rest of the data. Assuming that the data is normally distributed, a statistical method called the Grubbs test can be used to determine whether the observation is truly an outlier. To perform a two-tailed Grubbs test, first, calculate the absolute difference between the outlier and the mean. Then, calculate the ratio between this difference and the standard deviation of the sample. This number is...
Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity
Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.
Parental Influence on Identity Development
Parents serve as primary guides and managers in an adolescent's life, offering support instrumental in decision-making and personal growth. This guiding role...

Social Foundations of Self II: The Generalized Other
According to George Herbert Mead, as children progress beyond the game stage, they develop a more comprehensive understanding of societal rules and norms. This cognitive and social development enables them to internalize the expectations of the broader community, refining their ability to regulate behavior.Consistent participation in organized activities is crucial in helping children recognize that their actions are not isolated but contribute to a more significant, interconnected group effort.
