Abstract:

SUMMARYAlthough cognitive therapy is a promising treatment for depression, high drop-out rates and, conversely, the specific elements that make the intervention effective continue to puzzle practising clinicians. This article discusses both therapist-related factors (including competence and competencies) and patient-related factors (such as engagement in therapy and external logistical problems with attendance) that are related to drop-out and suggests practical ways to address them and improve outcomes. It examines cognitive and behavioural elements of manualised cognitive therapy and discusses findings relating to cognitive–behavioural therapy (CBT) in particular.LEARNING OBJECTIVES•Understand factors associated with high drop-out rates in the cognitive therapy of depression and ways to reduce them•Learn about treatment integrity in cognitive therapy of depression and its relationship to the clinical outcome•Identify specific cognitive therapy techniques associated with patients' improvement in depressionDECLARATION OF INTERESTNone.

Abstract:

The search for overarching factors involved in both sport and broader lifestyle and achievement domains may help to understand the early drop-out phenomenon. This study aimed to analyze the association between early sport drop-out and strategic learning skills, checking for the individual and joint role of nationality, school type, gender, age and sport habits. Six hundred and fourteen Italian and Spanish students aged 14–18 years completed two self-assessment questionnaires concerning physical activity, sports habits and learning strategies. Outcomes were analyzed with frequency analysis. Higher affective–motivational strategic learning skills were associated with lower drop-out rates in Italian but not Spanish students. In high schools with an enhanced sports curriculum, drop-out rates were negligible compared to other Italian and Spanish curricula. A lack of persistence in the same sport type was significantly associated with a higher drop-out rate in males but not in female students, who had overall higher drop-out rates. This study suggests that overarching personal skills, cultural characteristics and sports habits may independently and jointly contribute to sport drop-out. Specifically, affective–motivational learning skills may play a key role in sport persistence and in strategies tailored to drop-out prevention.

Abstract:

Over the last decades, considerable progress has been made in the understanding of the sulfur cycle in sewer systems. In spite of a wealth of experimental and field studies that have addressed the release of hydrogen sulfide from free surface flows in gravity sewers and the corresponding air-water mass transfer, little is known about hydrogen sulfide emission under highly turbulent conditions (e.g., drop structures, hydraulic jumps). In this study, experimental work was carried out to analyze the influence of characteristics of drops on reaeration. Physical models were built, mimicking typical sewer drop structures and allowing different types of drops, drop heights, tailwater depths and flow rates. In total, 125 tests were performed. Based on their results, empirical expressions translating the relationship between the mass transfer of oxygen and physical parameters of drop structures were established. Then, by applying the two-film theory with two-reference substances, the relation to hydrogen sulfide release was defined. The experiments confirmed that the choice of the type of drop structure is critical to determine the uptake/emission rates. By quantifying the air-water mass transfer rates between free-fall and backdrop types of drop, the latter resulted in considerably lower oxygen uptake rates.

Abstract:

Dropout is a serious problem within education. This article reports on an intervention project, titled “New Roles for the Teacher—Increased Completion Rates Through Social Responsibility,” which sought to reduce nonattendance and drop-out rates in the Danish adult educational system by improving teachers’ competences. This goal was pursued by engaging teachers in training programs aimed at improving their relational competences. The data showed that these focused training programs have an effect on the educational culture at the colleges and on the teachers’ attitudes toward the importance of reducing drop-out rates. As a consequence, the teachers acted more consistently and purposefully to prevent dropout, and a positive effect of the intervention on drop-out rates was documented.

Abstract:

The present study analyzes whether and how different types of progress indicators affect the tendency of respondents to continue filling out a web survey, focusing on whether the progress indicators effects depend on the position of the respondent in the questionnaire. Using a sample of 2460 respondents of a Dutch online access panel, we analyze three kinds of progress indicators (linear, fast-then-slow, slow-then-fast, and a control condition) using survival analysis. The results show that the effect of the indicators on the completion rate is either negative or nonexistent, depending on the questionnaire length. Moreover, the effect of an indicator does not depend on the position of the respondent in the answering process. We interpret our findings in terms of the implicit narrative between survey designer and respondent.

Abstract:

AbstractInertial shape oscillations of heptane drops rising in water are investigated experimentally. Diameters from 0.59 to 3.52 mm are considered, corresponding to a regime where the rising motion should not affect shape oscillations for pure immiscible fluids. The interface, however, turns out to be contaminated. The drag coefficient is considerably increased compared to that of a clean drop due to the well-known Marangoni effect resulting from a gradient of surfactant concentration generated by the fluid motion along the interface. Thanks to the decomposition of the shape into spherical harmonics, the eigenfrequencies and the damping rates of oscillation modes $n= 2$, 3, 4 and 5 have been measured. Frequencies are not affected by contamination, while damping rates are increased by a considerable amount that depends neither on drop instantaneous velocity nor on diameter. This augmentation, however, depends on the mode number: it is maximum for mode two (multiplied by 2.4) and then relaxes towards the value of a clean drop as $n$ increases. A previous similar investigation of a drop attached to a capillary has not revealed such an increase of the damping rates, indicating that the coupling between rising motion and surface contamination is responsible for this effect.

Abstract:

The effects of a treatment system, based on tenets of cognitive behavioral and social cognitive theory, were estimated using case studies conducted in 17 fitness facilities of six regional associations of the YMCA. Significant reductions in drop-out rates of new and returning exercisers were found for the treatment groups ( ns = 30 to 124; M drop out = 38.9%, & SD = 9.5) compared to the control groups ( ns = 36 to 175; M drop out = 62.9%, SD = 6.4) over the 6-mo. times. Treatment effect sizes, by facility, ranged from small to large (φ = .10 to .43). Findings were consistent with previous research on earlier versions of the present treatment system conducted both within YMCAs and different fitness and wellness venues in the United States, United Kingdom, and Italy. Design limitations and the need for replication were discussed.

Abstract:

SummaryA short review of placebo response in double-blind placebo-controlled therapeutic panic disorder studies published since 1985 is given. The main result is that the inefficacy-related drop-out rate of the placebo group of almost all clinical studies grows to more than 30% after 4-5 weeks of treatment and that often the results of placebo responders do not widely differ from that of the treatment groups. Except in some studies with very large sample sizes, the described response of the placebo group will not lead to significant differences between placebo and drug in completer analysis, making last observation carried forward (LOCF) analysis necessary. However, the large drop-out rates may lead to invalid efficacy results in later stages of the studies. As it can be shown that the inefficacy-related drop-out rates between placebo and target drug groups are as good an efficacy characteristic as any other, more conventional efficacy parameters, it is proposed to use the inefficacy related drop-out rate as the main efficacy parameter in placebo-controlled panic disorder studies of more than 4-5 weeks.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: In schizophrenia the drop-out rate can be used as proxy of effectiveness. The drop-out evaluation is also important considering the relevant economic impact for NHS of an antipsychotic therapy discontinuation in terms of patient hospitalization and other related healthcare resources consumption. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the differences in the rates of drop-out from clinical trials between olanzapine and aripiprazole. METHODS: Literature search was based on MEDLINE, on Iowa-IDIS and Drugdex databases (1966-Dec 2004). Analysis included 12 randomized controlled trials (3.778 patients), 8 for olanzapine (2.559 patients) and 4 for aripiprazole (1.219 patients). RCT inclusion criteria were: a) Patients affected by schizophrenia; b) Randomized assignment to olanzapine or aripiprazole treatment group; c) Number of patients included in the treatment group higher than 100; d) Drop-out frequency evaluation between 4th and 26th weeks of follow-up. RESULTS: The rate of treatment discontinuation was greater for aripiprazole than for olanzapine (42,2% vs. 31,6% respectively). The comparison between drop-out percentages is statistically significant (p

Despite a trend toward higher scores on the Paranoid Ideation Sub scale of the SCL-90 among drop-outs compared to completers, there were no significant differences found between the two groups participating in a fifteen week double blind crossover study on the effectiveness of desipramine in bulimia.

Abstract:

Aims and methodDialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) is associated with particularly high drop-out rates in the National Health Service (NHS). This paper seeks to investigate the characteristics of patients with borderline personality disorder dropping out from DBT and the role of care coordination in this phenomenon. Data for the 102 patients receiving DBT in east London, 58% of whom had dropped out of treatment prematurely, were analysed.ResultsIn a multivariable analysis, a history of care coordination was the only variable significantly correlated with drop out: 88% of patients with a history of care coordination dropped out prematurely compared with 52% of patients without such history.Clinical implicationsThe experience of comprehensive care within the care programme approach, particularly care coordination at the start of DBT, affects the retention of patients in DBT. Further qualitative research is required to understand how care coordination and DBT drop out are related, which could lead to changes in how the therapy is delivered in the UK and influence decisions regarding the use of care coordination with patients with borderline personality disorder.

Abstract:

Physical inactivity has become a major public health concern and, consequently, the awareness of striving for a healthy lifestyle has increased. As a result, the popularity of recreational sports, such as running, has increased. Running is known for its low threshold to start and its attractiveness for a heterogeneous group of people. Yet, one can still observe high drop-out rates among (novice) runners. To understand the reasons for drop-out as perceived by runners, we investigate potential reasons to quit running among short distance runners (5 km and 10 km) (n = 898). Data used in this study were drawn from the standardized online Eindhoven Running Survey 2016 (ERS16). Binary logistic regressions were used to investigate the relation between reasons to quit running and different variables like socio-demographic variables, running habits and attitudes, interests, and opinions (AIOs) on running. Our results indicate that, not only people of different gender and age show significant differences in perceived reasons to quit running, also running habits, (e.g., running context and frequency) and AIOs are related to perceived reasons to quit running too. With insights into these related variables, potential drop-out reasons could help health professionals in understanding and lowering drop-out rates among recreational runners.

Abstract:

The effect of a treatment system based on principles of social cognitive and cognitive behavioral theory was estimated through case studies conducted in three YMCA fitness facilities. Significant ( p < .05) reductions in drop-out rates of 23% (Georgia sample; n = 171), 27% (California sample; n = 159), and 21% (Florida sample; n = 83) were found for the new and returning exercisers over the 5- and 6-mo. study time frames. Age was not related to drop-out rates in the treatment groups. Findings were consistent with previous research on earlier versions of the present treatment system, conducted with larger sample sizes within different fitness and wellness venues in the USA, U.K., and Italy. Replication, more detailed assessment of outputs of exercise, and tests of further revisions of the protocol were suggested to extend this preliminary research.

Abstract:

Isothermal pressure drop experiments were carried out for the steady Newtonian fluid flow in Archimedean spiral tube with transverse corrugations. Pressure drop correlations and stability criteria for distinguishing the flow regimes have been obtained in a continuous Reynolds number range from 150 to 15 000. The characterizing geometrical groups which take into account all the geometrical parameters of Archimedean spiral and corrugated pipe has been acquired. Before performing experiments over the Archimedean spiral, the corrugated straight pipe having high relative roughness e/d = 0.129 of approximately sinusoidal type was tested in order to obtain correlations for the Darcy friction factor. Insight into the magnitude of pressure loss in the proposed geometry of spiral solar receiver for different flow rates is important because of its effect upon the efficiency of the receiver. Although flow in spiral and corrugated geometries has the advantages of compactness and high heat transfer rates, the disadvantage of greater pressure drops makes hydrodynamic studies relevant.

Given that low conscientiousness is associated with increased risk of mortality and several adverse health behaviours and outcomes, attrition of individuals low in conscientiousness may result in systematic bias particularly relevant to developmental research focused on morbidity and mortality in older adulthood. Further, methods commonly used to estimate missing data require monotone coding patterns and untestable assumptions (e.g., MAR), and do not typically account for death as a competing risk factor. This project analyzed data drawn from the Memory and Aging Project (N=1156; Mage=79.2 years; 76.1% female) using multistate survival models to estimate the impact of conscientiousness on transitions between study wave participation over time (i.e., response, non-response), and death. With conscientiousness measured at baseline and death status determined by death records, complete state data are available for each study wave, unlike methods commonly used to model and estimate missingness. Adjusting for age, sex, and education, analyses revealed that higher levels of conscientiousness are associated with decreased likelihood of transitioning to non-response (HR= 0.97, CI’s 0.95, 0.99) and death (HR=0.96, CI’s 0.93, 0.99). These results suggest that over-sampling individuals low in conscientiousness during study recruitment may be important to better represent the general population, particularly when data are collected over several years or decades. Discussion will focus on how systematic bias introduced by higher response rates of individuals high in conscientiousness may impact health-related research based on longitudinal data.

Abstract:

BackgroundCognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) is widely used to treat depression. However, CBT is not always available to patients because of a shortage of therapists and long waiting times. Computerized CBT (CCBT) is one of several alternatives currently available to treat patients with depression. Evidence of its clinical effectiveness has led to programs being used increasingly within the UK and elsewhere. However, little information is available regarding the acceptability of CCBT to patients.MethodA systematic review of sources of information on acceptability to patients of CCBT for depression.ResultsSources of information on acceptability included: recruitment rates, patient drop-outs and patient-completed questionnaires. We identified 16 studies of CCBT for the treatment of depression that provided at least some information on these sources. Limited information was provided on patient take-up rates and recruitment methods. Drop-out rates were comparable to other forms of treatment. Take-up rates, when reported, were much lower. Six of the 16 studies included specific questions on patient acceptability or satisfaction although information was only provided for those who had completed treatment. Several studies have reported positive expectancies and high satisfaction in routine care CCBT services for those completing treatment.ConclusionsTrials of CCBT should include more detailed information on patient recruitment methods, drop-out rates and reasons for dropping out. It is important that well-designed surveys and qualitative studies are included alongside trials to determine levels and determinants of patient acceptability.

Abstract:

The present paper analyses the relevance of academic engagement in the process of students dropping out of school. Previous studies have consistently shown strong associations between engagement and students’ achievement outcomes. The increased attention given to academic engagement in recent years is also visible in the efforts of stakeholders in higher education to increase engagement and, consequently, to reduce dropout. The relationships between engagement and dropout rates are somewhat fuzzier, vigor, dedication, and absorption vary inconsistently in students at risk. Using a correlation research design, we tested several dimensions of academic engagement as predictors of early dropout intentions on a sample of first-year students (N = 1063). The results showed that psychological academic engagement of students is a significant predictor of early dropout intentions. Differences in academic engagement given by family background and academic context were also tested. The implications of the results are discussed in the light of possible interventions for increasing academic engagement of university students. Also, suggestions for including employers in academic engagement and dropout interventions are given.

Abstract:

Case when a contraceptive acceptors stop being acceptors is called a discontinued use case or also called Drop Out. Discontinuation rates indicates a problem with contraceptive use. This study aims to provide description about contraceptive dropouts in North Sumatra at 2017 based on data Program Performance Indicator KKBPK RPJMN Survey 2017. The study that was conducted is descriptive. The population referred to in this study were women of childbearring age 15-49 years who were respondents in Program Performance Indicator KKBPK RPJMN Survey 2017. Samples were women of childbearring age 15-49 years who had used contraceptive methods in the last 12 months but did not use tools / methods contraception when the survey was conducted. Data had been weighted and normalized before analyzed. The proportion of contraceptive discontinuation events in Sumatera Utara for women of childbearring age 15-49 years according to the RPJMN Indicator Survey data is as much as 7.4% or as many as 65 of 876 people who had used contraceptive methods in the last 12 months but have stopped when survey conducted. This study shows that the largest proportion of discontinuation events is in the age group of 35-39 years (40.2%), elementery and junior high school education (each has 31.0%), not working (58.6%), living in urban areas (56,0%) ), and medium wealth quintiles (38.4%). Based on contraceptive methods, the highest proportion of contraceptive discontinuation was in the 1-month injection contraception method (46.4%), followed by pill (30.1%)and the 3-month injection method (10.3%). Based on the number of children, the highest proportion of discontinuations in contraception was in respondents who had 3 children (49.6%). The biggest reason for dropping out were affraid of side effects (26.6%) and wanting to get pregnant (20,8%) on the second rank. It is expected that the implementation of better communication, information and education related to limiting the number of children, and group of women of childbearring in the age 30-34 years and 35-39 years which is the highest age group with the event of discontinuation can be the target of programme.

Abstract:

Traditionally plantations in Malaysia provide primary school education for the children of their workers as well as other basic needs. This element is normally part of the ‘package’ of welfare facilities offered to the residential work force on plantations. However, the conditions under which this educational scheme is usually implemented are far from satisfactory, in comparison with those of the population as a whole and the progress achieved in the democratization of education since independence. Thus the plantation workers’ children have become an educationally disadvantaged group, with the highest drop-out rates, lowest achievement levels, and attending the ‘poorest and smallest’ schools in the entire nation. Almost all these schools in plantations are ‘Tamil Schools’ in accordance with the majority residential work force — Indian Tamils who form the bulk of the labour force in plantations. Basically this paper will review the characteristics and the educational climate of these schools, along with other indicators of education such as enrolment rates, drop-out rates, and achievement rates.

Abstract:

Purpose This paper assesses the drop-out rate among disadvantaged students within vocational education and training. The purpose of this paper is to examine the probability of dropping out after school-based training for child welfare clients – a particularly disadvantaged group of youth. Child welfare clients’ drop-out rate is compared with students from a representative sample of their peers. Design/methodology/approach Average marginal effects were calculated from multinomial logistic regression models. Data were from public registries (n=10,535). Findings The results show that differences in observed characteristics cannot explain differences in drop-out rates between child welfare clients and the majority peers. It is argued that this drop-out rate is likely a result of employers favoring apprenticeship applicants who are similar to them or that child welfare clients lack networks, which previous research has identified as crucial in finding an apprenticeship. Practical implications The results suggest a need for action targeting disadvantaged youths in the transition that follows school-based training. Originality/value The paper adds to the very scarce literature on transition from school-based learning to apprenticeships.

Abstract:

Open non-formal online courses are becoming increasingly popular as a self-paced option for learners. However, the attrition rates for such courses, similar to other online options such as MOOCs, can be high. In this exploratory research study two teacher-researchers reflect on and analyse their experience of creating open non-formal online courses for English language learners, and go on to suggest several practical techniques to decrease the number of students that may drop out. Firstly, the wider reasons why online students may drop out, such as insufficient feedback or the impact of cognitive overload, are discussed and several ways are suggested to get around these issues. Secondly, various principles of instructional design such as keeping lessons consistent but variable, relevant, and divided into manageable chunks are recommended. Finally, a number of ways that videos can be made more engaging are shown, especially focusing on how a talking head can be best portrayed in order to give the clearest information and develop a more personalised teacher presence. Although the data and analysis are focused on open non-formal online courses the findings and discussion are of relevance to other forms of online instruction and multimedia learning.

Abstract:

To explore the pressure drop variation with the viscosity of heavy oil gas-liquid two-phase flow, experiments with different viscosity gas-liquid two-phase flows are carried out. The experimental results show that the total pressure drop increases with increasing liquid viscosity when the superficial gas and liquid flow rates are the same. The liquid superficial velocity is 0.52 m/s, and the superficial gas velocity is 12 m/s in the vertical and inclined pipes, as there is a negative friction pressure drop when the superficial gas and liquid velocities are small. Additionally, the increased range of the total pressure drop decreases with increasing liquid viscosity. Considering the heavy oil gas-liquid two-phase flow, a prediction model of the pressure drop in high-viscosity liquid-gas two-phase flow is established. The new model is verified by experimental data and compared with existing models. The new model has the smallest error, basically within 15%. Based on the prediction of the wellbore pressure distribution of four wells in the BeiA oilfield, the new model prediction results are closer to the measured results, and the error is the smallest. The new model can be used to predict pressure drops in high-viscosity gas-liquid two-phase flow.
