Abstract:
As “educational diagnosis,” which targeted the health behaviors of mothers with regards to malaria and diarrhea in their young children, was carried out over a three-week period in November 1985 in Rwanda, East Africa. The study used the methodological technique of triangulation, in which both quantitative and qualitative data collection efforts are used to find answers to the same or similar sets of questions. Findings include estimates of health care utilization and medication usage and illustrate how multiple methods of data collection can maximize both the amount of usable data and the degree of confidence in the validity of data obtained, even with relatively small samples. In particular, the qualitative technique of focus group interviewing, which provided information on the sociocultural, economic, and historical contexts of the Rwandese health care system, provided an explanation of why there is relatively little self-care or home treatment for these diseases in Rwandese society.

Abstract:
L'influence de l'anglais est évidente sur les langues du monde entier. L'anglais est considéré comme une langue de communication mondiale et est utilisé par un grand nombre de locuteurs du monde entier dans leurs interactions. Il est clair que l'anglais domine dans de nombreux aspects de la vie quotidienne tels que la technologie, la science, les médias et Internet. Toutes les influences observées sur les langues du monde qui sont dues à l'influence de l'anglais relèvent de la notion d'anglicisation, qui couvre tous les niveaux de l'analyse linguistique. Dans ma thèse, j'étudie l'influence de l'anglais sur le grec moderne, qui a été particulièrement forte au cours des deux à trois dernières décennies. J'examine le phénomène de l'anglicisation du grec moderne en tenant compte de l'influence de l'anglais à tous les niveaux de l'analyse linguistique, et particulièrement au niveau lexical, phraséologique et morphosyntaxique. J'examine notamment les mots nouvellement importés de l'anglais, tels que blóger (< angl. blogger ‘bloggeur/bloggeuse’), les structures phraséologiques calquées du grec moderne qui traduisent mot à mot les structures anglaises correspondantes, telles que trofí γia sképsi (< angl. food for thought ‘matière à réflexion’), ainsi que les structures morphosyntaxiques qui calquent les structures équivalentes en anglais, telles que les structures nominales pré-modifiées dont le pré-modificateur est un emprunt d’origine anglaise, comme par exemple pdf arxío (< angl. pdf file ‘fichier pdf’) au lieu de arxío pdf (< angl. file pdf ‘fichier pdf’). Pour la collecte et l'analyse de mes données, j'utilise des dictionnaires et des grammaires du grec moderne, ainsi que des corpus de textes comme le Trésor National de la Langue Grecque (Hellenic National Corpus), le Corpus des Textes Grecs (Corpus of Greek Texts) et les corpus de textes disponibles via la plateforme Sketch Engine, ainsi qu'un corpus de textes personnalisé que j'ai construit exclusivement pour mon étude via Sketch Engine. Concernant les emprunts anglais nouvellement importés, j'étudie l'existence des formes non translittérées de ces emprunts en grec moderne et je compare la fréquence d'apparition des formes translittérées et non translittérées (par exemple la forme non translittérée blogger ‘bloggeur/bloggeuse’ au lieu de la forme translittérée <μπλόγκερ> [blóger]). De plus, j'étudie les facteurs responsables de l'utilisation des formes non translittérées des emprunts anglais en examinant leur apparition dans des vocabulaires spécialisés du grec moderne tels que le vocabulaire du sport et de la technologie. En ce qui concerne les unités phraséologiques et les structures morphosyntaxiques calquées, je compare la fréquence d'apparition de la structure calquée à la fréquence d'apparition de la structure équivalente en grec moderne. De plus, j'essaie de déterminer la chronologie de l'insertion des emprunts anglais en grec moderne, et, enfin, je tire quelques conclusions générales concernant l'anglicisation du grec moderne à partir des résultats de ma recherche
The influence of English is evident on languages worldwide. English is considered a global language of communication and is used by a large number of speakers worldwide for their interactions. It is clear that English dominates many aspects of daily life, such as technology, science, the media and the Internet. All the influences observed on the languages of the world that are due to the influence of English fall under the notion of Anglicisation, that covers all levels of linguistic analysis. In my dissertation I study the influence of English on Modern Greek (MG), which has been particularly strong during the last two to three decades. I aim to examine the phenomenon of Anglicisation in MG taking into account the English influence at all levels of linguistic analysis, focusing particularly on the lexical, phraseological and morphosyntactic level. In particular, I examine newly imported English loanwords, such as blóger < English blogger, phraseological patterns found in MG that are word-by-word translations of the equivalent English ones, such as trofí γia sképsi < English food for thought, as well as morphosyntactic structures that calque the equivalent structures of English, such as a new form of pre-modified NPs where the pre-modifier is an uninflected English loanword, as for example, pdf arxío < English pdf file, instead of arxío pdf ‘file pdf’. In order to analyze my data, I use dictionaries and grammars for MG, as well as MG text corpora, the Hellenic National Corpus, and the Corpus of Greek Texts, the text corpora available through the Sketch Engine platform, but also the customized text corpus that I built exclusively for my data through Sketch Engine. Regarding the newly imported English loanwords, I study the existence of the non-transliterated forms of these loanwords in MG and compare the frequency of appearance of the transliterated and non-transliterated forms (e.g. the non- transliterated form blogger instead of the transliterated <μπλόγκερ> [blóger]). Moreover, I investigate the factors responsible for the appearance and use of non-transliterated forms of the loanwords by examining their appearance in specialized vocabularies of MG, such as the vocabulary of sports and technology. Regarding the phraseological patterns and morphosyntactic structures that calque the equivalent English ones, I compare the frequency of appearance of the calqued structure in MG to the frequency of appearance of the equivalent MG structure. Furthermore, I try to determine the chronology of the insertion of English loanwords in MG, and finally, I draw some general conclusions, regarding Anglicisation in MG, based on the results of the research

Abstract:
Hate crime victimization in Canada is a criminal justice issue that has received insufficient attention. To address this lack of information, Statistics Canada included two questions concerning hate crime on the 1999 administration of the General Social Survey. The data from this survey were analyzed for this thesis. Differences between hate crime and non-hate crime respondents were examined. Subsequently, the three most frequently reported hate crime motivation categories of race/ethnicity, sex and culture were compared. The results of the analysis revealed that while differences exist between hate crime and non-hate crime respondents, the main differences appeared between respondents reporting sex-motivated hate crimes and those in the two remaining categories of race/ethnicity and culture. The main variations were in the reasons respondents cited for not reporting the incident to the police and their psychological reactions to the event. Those who perceived their victimization to be based upon their race/ethnicity or culture did not report the incident to the police because they felt it was not important enough. Respondents victimized on the basis of their sex indicated that they did not bring the incident to the attention of the police because they felt the "police do nothing". While respondents of the three motivation categories of hate crime examined in this study reported being fearful as a result of their victimization, respondents who perceived themselves as having been the victim of a sex-based hate crime were substantially less likely than those victimized as a result of their race/ethnicity or culture to report that they were not effected that much.

Hartis, Richard Geoffrey. "Beyond functionalism : a quantitative survey and semiotic reading of Hadrian's Wall." Thesis, Durham University, 2010. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/332/.

Full text
Abstract:
Hadrian’s Wall is perhaps one of the best studied, but east understood,Roman monuments in Britain. Traditional interpretations have sought to identify one underlying principle to the Wall’s function. Similarly, the Wall’s purpose has often been interpreted as solely functional, with either military or ‘customs barrier’ arguments proposed. However, military theories are at odds with both general Roman practice of the time, which sought to defeat enemies in the field, and the Wall’s generally low level of soldiery per kilometre. Customs barrier arguments cannot account for the seemingly illogical placement of structures along the line of the Wall. Furthermore, both these interpretations are connected to a broader dialogue between the Victorian era, which saw the rise of Wall-scholarship, and the modern world which effectively excluded the Roman context within which the Wall was constructed. It is the question of the Wall’s intent and purpose, as well as the structure’s place in the wider Roman world, that this thesis explores. This necessitates an innovative combination of techniques including historiography, theory, quantitative survey and modelling. A theoretical standpoint is adopted that considers the construction from a symbolic perspective as an explicit means for understanding the original purpose of the Wall. Quantitative survey is used to reveal the full extent of the structure’s symbolic ower, the results of which can also evaluate dominant functional theories. Importantly, in emphasising theory and the Roman context alongside traditional functional models, this thesis reconnects the Wall to its original context within the Roman world. This research aims to stimulate debate on both the purpose of the Wall and its place in the wider Roman world, whilst also creating a framework for using quantitative theory to assess symbolic potential.

Full text
Abstract:
There have been no quantitative studies of fish species associated with the submarine canyons of the north east coast of South Africa. These canyons offer protection to coelacanths Latimeria chalumnae, fish of commercial importance, and a number of protected and endemic species. A fish survey was conducted by remotely operated vehicle (ROV) that captured video footage at depths between 60 m and 160 m. Seven canyons (Island Rock, South Island Rock, Wright, Jesser, Diepgat, Leadsman and Chaka) and one deep reef (Diepgat Deep Reef) spread along 78 km of shelf break were surveyed. Fish were identified and counted in 1143 30-second video segments. Patterns in diversity and abundance were investigated with respect to canyon, depth, and habitat type. The survey found 52 fish species from 23 families. The families Serranidae and Sparidae were well represented. The first submarine images of the critically endangered Seventy†Four seabream are particularly noteworthy. Only three Myliobatidae species represented the Chondrichthyans. Variation in Shannon-Wiener species diversity (H') was influenced by the diversity of habitat (Kruskall†Wallis p<0,0001) and depths (Kruskall†Wallis p<0,0001). Mann†Whitney post hoc tests showed cave to have a higher H' than sandy plain (p<0,001) and wall (p<0,001). H' for margin was greater than sandy plain (p=0,001) and wall (p<0,001). H' for rock outcrop was greater than sandy plain (p=0,006). Fish diversity increased with increasing depth until 90m, thereafter diversity decreased with subsequent depths. Habitat (Permanova p=0,0031) had the strongest influence on fish community composition. No north†south separation in terms of fish diversity (H') among canyons was detected. The results were consistent with similar studies. All canyons were adequately sampled as the rate of discovery of additional species per sample was ≤1%. A minimum of 80 30-second samples per canyon is recommended to survey fish. The survey methods employed during this study are recommended for surveying deep reef fish to allow for meaningful comparative studies.

Abstract:
Endocytosis is an essential cellular process consisting of the internalization of extracellular cargo and its transport towards different intracellular destinations. Multiple endocytic routes are tailored for the internalization and trafficking of different types of cargo and multiple endocytic organelles provide specialized biochemical environments where different molecular events take place. Membrane receptors and cargo molecules are internalized by both Clathrin-dependent and –independent endocytosis into early endosomes. From here two main endocytic routes are followed: 1) the recycling route, mainly followed by membrane receptor and other molecules like Transferrin, brings the cargo back to the plasma membrane and 2) the degradative route, followed by molecules like Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) and Lipoprotein particles (LDL), leads the cargo to degradation into late endosomes/lysosomes. In addition to the basic function of intracellular cargo transport, the endocytic system fulfils many other cellular and developmental functions such as transmission of proliferative and survival signals and defence against pathogens. In order for cells to properly perform their various and numerous functions in organs and tissues, the activity of the endocytic system needs to be coordinated between cells and, within individual cells, integrated with other cellular functions. Even though molecules orchestrating the endocytic sorting and transport of different types of cargo have long been investigated, our understanding of the molecular machinery underlying endocytosis and its coordination into the cellular systems remains fragmentary. The work presented in this thesis aimed at understanding how this high-order regulation and integration is achieved. This requires not only a comprehensive analysis of molecular constituents of the endocytic system but also an understanding of the general design principles underlying its function. To this end, in collaboration with several members of the Zerial group and with the HT-Technology Development Studio (TDS) at MPI-CBG, I developed a new strategy to accurately profile the activity of human genes with respect to Transferrin (Tfn) and Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) endocytosis by combining genome-wide RNAi with several siRNA/esiRNA per gene, automated high-resolution confocal microscopy, quantitative multi-parametric image analysis and high-performance computing. This provided a rich and complex genomic dataset that was subsequently subjected to analysis with a combination of tools such as a multi-parametric correlation of oligo profiles, phenotypic clustering and pathways analysis, and a Bayesian network reconstruction of key endocytic features. Altogether, the genomic endeavour and the subsequent analyses provided a number of important results: first, they revealed a much higher extent of off-target effects from RNAi and provided novel tools to infer the specific effects of genes loss of function; second, they identified a large number of novel molecules exerting a regulatory role on the endocytic system, including uncharacterized genes and genes implicated in human diseases; third, they uncovered the regulatory activity of signalling pathways such as Wnt, Integrin, TGF-β, and Notch, and found new genes regulating the sorting of cargo to a specialized subset of early endosomes that function as intracellular signalling platforms; and fourth, a systems analysis by Bayesian networks revealed that the cell specifically regulates the number, size, concentration of cargo and intracellular position of endosomes, thus uncovering novel properties of the endocytic system. In conclusion, the work presented here not only provided a dataset extremely rich of information whose potential has just begun to be uncovered but also shows how genomic datasets can be used to reveal design principles governing the functioning of biological processes.

Abstract:
This survey is to study the attitudes, personal experiences of Health care professional students, and knowledge about the basic concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in Hong Kong and Guangzhou district of Mainland China. The research methodology used was a questionnaire which was distributed amongst healthcare professional students in Hong Kong and Guangzhou. About Seventy-five percent of participants have ever used TCM at some time to treat minor diseases. On a scale from zero to ten, the mean (SD) scores for the perceived effectiveness of TCM were 6.55 (2.07), and most of them (89%) gave five to nine scores. The average proportion of TCM used in their whole lives estimate was 24%. Most of participants (83.3%) used TCM only one to five times per year in the last five years. In participants’ opinion, TCM is more natural and having less adverse effect, while WM is pure, specific, credible, easy to administer and having better patients’ compliance. WM was the priority, or even first choice when the participants faced with a variety of representative diseases. And people had a good understanding degree of some basic concepts of TCM. Although there were a few differences in gender groups comparing and district groups comparing, broadly speaking the similarities still were in majority. In conclusion, most of pharmacy students have their own knowledge about TCM, but more measures must be carried out to improve the popularizing rate of TCM. Moreover, mainland students have better knowledge of TCM and more positive attitude compared to TCM. The attitude and practice do not appear to vary significantly between genders.

Full text
Abstract:

The main goal of this project was to develop and provide validity evidence for a diseasespecific quality of life survey to be used with pediatric localized scleroderma (LS) patients. This new survey, called the Localized Scleroderma Quality of Life Instrument (LoSQI), incorporated unique features associated with the disease, not captured by current surveys. As a secondary goal, the feasibility and usefulness of anchoring vignettes with pediatric patients were examined. The project included three phases; content domain development and item generation, a pilot study, and a field test. Validity evidence was gathered from multiple sources including test content, internal structure, and in relation to other variables. Overall, there was initial support for use of the LoSQI with pediatric LS patients. Patients indicated general understanding and readability of the items, and there was qualitative evidence for content validity. Exploratory factor analysis suggested the utility of reporting a total score along with two subscale scores, (1) Pain and Physical Functioning and (2) Body Image and Social Support. Reliability of both the subscale and total scores was acceptable. There was less evidence for use of anchoring vignettes in this context, as there was a high frequency of ties in rankings, which limited the utility of statistical models. Despite limitations from a small sample size and skewed response distributions, the pilot study and the field test provided promising initial evidence that the LoSQI can be used to capture HRQoL in LS patients ages 10-20 years. Future studies should examine responsiveness of the scores to change and optimal capture of HRQoL in patients <10 years of age.

Full text
Abstract:
The Geoscience Quantitative Preparation Survey (GQPS) was developed to address a deficiency in the available literature regarding the competency and preparation of early-career geologists in geoscience job-related quantitative skills – namely, geologic numeracy. The final version of the GQPS included self-confidence, usage, satisfaction, and demographic sections. The GQPS was expected to produce data that would allow for an evaluation of the geologic numeracy of early-career geologists and the success of approximately 20 years of increased focus on quantitatively literate geoscience graduates. The self-confidence section of the GQPS included quantitative methods and quantitative skills. The usage section asked whether participants used methods or skills from the confidence section in both work and non-work settings. Satisfaction items asked how satisfied participants were with the quantitative preparation they received as undergraduates, relative to career needs, and included items on quantitative problem solving, quantitative communication, and computers. Limited demographic information was collected including time since bachelor’s graduation, years of related experience, undergraduate alma mater, current job status and field, and highest level of education. Satisfaction values for quantitative problem solving and quantitative communication indicate that respondents were largely satisfied with their undergraduate preparation, with values slightly higher for the geoscience department than for the university as a whole. Satisfaction items related to the use of computers were nearly uniform across all response levels and were not indicative of satisfaction (or any other particular response). Demographic responses indicate it is reasonable to make some generalizations to the overall population of early-career geologists. Early-career geologists in the sample population showed indications of geologic numeracy. This result indicates the educational trend of the last 20 years of focus on quantitatively literate geoscience graduates has had some success, although this focus cannot be compared to prior years due to lack of data. The GQPS was successful for answering its research questions, but requires validation as a complete scale before it is likely to be used by outside parties.

Full text
Abstract:
Responsible tourism is tourism which aims at minimizing negative environmental, social, and economic impacts, and benefits the local community. One crucial aspect is being neglected in the context of responsible tourism – the environmental impacts of food consumption. The impacts on the environment may vary depending on the dietary lifestyle. According to research, a vegan diet is generally less taxing on the environment than for example vegetarian or omnivorous ones. In this quantitative study, 161 participants, who consider themselves responsible tourists, were asked about their knowledge, attitudes, and behaviour regarding the environmental benefits of veganism. The data were analysed using linear regressions within the mediation model and two-sample t- tests. I found that attitudes partly mediate the relationship between knowledge and behaviour. Vegans are more knowledgeable about the environmental benefits of veganism than omnivores. Besides, vegans showed the most pro-environmental attitudes and behaviour, followed by vegetarians and omnivores. Less than half of the sample perceive veganism as a part of responsible tourism. Those respondents who perceive it so are mainly vegans and vegetarians. A campaign that would raise awareness of the environmental benefits of veganism in the context of responsible travel needs to be implemented. A qualitative study should follow, and further research needs to be done among additional samples, such as typical mass tourists.

Abstract:
Urban middle school teachers have experienced the severe challenges of discipline problems, which have contributed to writing more principal's office discipline referrals. The effective behavior support (EBS) program has been found to promote positive behavior in the classroom and change students negative behavior into positive behavior. Guided by the Problem-Behavior Theory (PBT), the purpose of this quantitative nonexperimental study was to examine the relationship between the teachers' effective behavior support and office discipline referrals of urban middle school students. Years of teaching experience was the mediating variable. The researcher used archival data collected from teachers who used the effective behavior support program located at an urban middle school in the Southeast United States, the female and male teachers ranged between the ages of 23 to 66+. For the research question, a simple regression was employed as a means of analyzing the archival data. Results suggested that positive teachers' support was not associated with the frequency of office discipline referrals. However, years of teaching experience was associated with fewer discipline referrals. The results of this study can be used to promote educational professionals to utilize positive teacher support to decrease office referrals, leading to more student contributions in the classroom and more long term success for students.

Rost, Lucia, Amber Parkes, and Andrea Azevedo. Measuring and Understanding Unpaid Care and Domestic Work: Household Care Survey Toolkit. Oxfam, October 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.21201/2020.6775.

Full text
Abstract:
This toolkit provides guidance on using Oxfam’s Household Care Survey (HCS) methodology, which was developed by Oxfam as part of the WE-Care initiative to transform the provision of unpaid care and domestic work (UCDW). UCDW underpins all our lives yet is overwhelmingly provided by women and girls. Recognising UCDW is essential for any initiative that aims to understand and address gender inequality. The HCS is a quantitative survey tool that generates context-specific evidence on how women, men and children spend their time, how care is provided, by whom, and the main factors that affect people’s responsibilities for UCDW, such as access to care services, infrastructure and social norms. The HCS can be used to generate a baseline, or to measure the impact of a specific policy or programme. The methodology can be integrated into different projects with different objectives and adjusted for use in various contexts. The HCS toolkit is designed to be used by development practitioners, policy makers, employers, academics and researchers. Part A provides guidance for planning, collecting, analysing and using HCS data. Part B provides guidance for understanding, adjusting and using the HCS questions. Both sections should be read before undertaking the survey.

Improving Rehabilitation for Patients with Intermittent Claudication: A Randomized Controlled Trial with a Mixed-Methods Evaluation (The CIPIC Rehab Study). Science Repository, October 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.31487/j.jicoa.2021.04.01.sup.

Full text
Abstract:
Aim: This study aimed to explore how qualitative data about rehabilitation for patients with intermittent claudication do provide an enhanced understanding of the quantitative experimental results. Background: The study was a randomized clinical trial comparing a rehabilitation intervention with usual care. A statistically significant difference between rehabilitation and usual care was found in walking distance, physical activity, quality of life and diet. The findings from the quantitative and qualitative analyses were analysed separately on their own tradition. In this study, mixed methods address whether the qualitative results could help explain the quantitative results and bring forward additional information. Design: Complex mixed-method intervention design with a convergent questionnaire variant. Methods: From April 2017- May 2019, patients diagnosed with intermittent claudication were included in a randomized clinical trial (N=118). In addition, qualitative interview informants from the intervention group were sampled from the quantitative study population for a survey (N=43) and focus group interviews (N=10). Interviews were conducted from April 2018-August 2019. Results: Integrated analyses identified how improvement in walking distance, physical activity, diet and quality of life was affected by team spirit, pedometer, education and fun exercise in a local setting. Quantitative and qualitative findings primarily confirmed and expanded each other; however, two discordant results were also evident. Conclusion: Our study adds empirical evidence regarding how a mixed-methods study can be used to obtain a more nuanced understanding of complex healthcare problems. The study provides new knowledge concerning how to set up a rehabilitation programme for patients with intermittent claudication.

Full text
Abstract:
Aquatic environmental DNA (eDNA) surveys are sometimes impacted by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) inhibitors. We tested varying concentrations of different inhibitors (humic, phytic, and tannic acids; crude leaf extracts) for impacts on quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays designed for eDNA surveys of bighead and silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis and Hypophthalmichthys molitrix). We also tested for inhibition by high concentrations of exogenous DNA, hypothesizing that DNA from increasingly closely related species would be increasingly inhibitory. All tested inhibitors impacted qPCR, though only at very high concentrations — likely a function, in part, of having used an inhibitor-resistant qPCR solution. Closer phylogenetic relatedness resulted in inhibition at lower exogenous DNA concentrations, but not at relatively close phylogenetic scales. Inhibition was also influenced by the qPCR reporter dye used. Importantly, different qPCR assays responded differently to the same inhibitor concentrations. Implications of these results are that the inclusion of more than one assay for the same target taxa in an eDNA survey may be an important countermeasure against false negatives and that internal positive controls may not, in the absence of efforts to maximize inhibition compatibility, provide useful information about the inhibition of an eDNA assay.

Abstract:
In this note, we leverage data from a nationwide survey conducted in 2019 in Ethiopia to shed light on what Ward Education Officers do, their understanding of their own role, and the constraints they face in executing their responsibilities. We interviewed 397 WEOs responsible for primary schools across 23 districts and six regions of Tanzania as part of a baseline survey conducted between February and May 2019. This note contributes to a growing literature on the activities, self-perceptions, and motivation of public sector officials in charge of “last mile” service delivery. For example, Aiyar and Bhattacharya (2016) use time-use diaries, in-depth interviews, and quantitative data to understand the views, attitudes, and activities of sub-district education sector officials, called block education officers, in India.

Identifying and filling racism data gaps in Victoria: A stocktake review. Centre for Resilient and Inclusive Societies, June 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.56311/mqvn2911.

Full text
Abstract:
Despite Australia’s and Victoria’s stated commitment to promoting multiculturalism and equality, and to eradicating racism, our knowledge about the nature, extent and impact of different forms of racism on diverse populations is not as well-developed as it should be. Stakeholders addressing racism increasingly recognise that anti-racism initiatives must rely on robust scholarly evidence and high-quality data. Yet existing data have serious limitations. We report on a stocktake review of racism data collected nationally in Australia and with a specific focus on Victoria. We provide a comprehensive overview, summary and synthesis of quantitative data on racism, identify gaps in racism data collection, analysis and uses, and make recommendations on bridging those data gaps and informing anti-racism action and policy. Overall, the review examines data collected by 42 survey-based, quantitative studies, discussed in over 120 publications and study materials, and 13 ongoing data collection initiatives, platforms and projects. Based on the review, we identified eight gaps to racism data collection and analysis and to collection methodologies. We recommend four interconnected ways to fill racism data gaps for anti-racism researchers, organisations and policymakers: 1) Further analyse existing data to address critical questions about racism; 2) Collect and analyse additional data; 3) Enhance data availability and integration; and 4) Improve policies that relate to the collection, analysis, reporting and overall management of racism data.

Full text
Abstract:
This note provides insights into understanding and combating vaccine hesitancy in the Caribbean. We draw on both qualitative and quantitative evidence stemming from IDB analytical and operational work. First, a household survey implemented in Belize in 2021 finds that lack of trust in vaccines and fear of side effects are among the main reasons given by the people that had not yet received the COVID-19 vaccine. Second, we evaluate the correlation between five behaviorally informed campaigns and vaccine uptake and digital engagement (clicks, emojis) and the effect of randomizing the framing of messages within one of such campaigns. We find that messages about COVID-19 vaccine safety and positive framing of side effects were associated with better outcomes. Finally, we describe how these insights are used in vaccination campaigns in Barbados.
