Abstract:
Constructing
theories and models that span levels of analysis is a common strategy

Affective
and Cognitive Benefits of Moderate Alcohol Consumption in Older
Women
Date:
Monday,
January 24, 2005
Time:
12:00
- 1:00 PM
Place:
NUR
2.104F, 1700 Red River
Speaker:
Dr.
Graham McDougall, School of Nursing
Abstract:
We
examined self-reported alcohol consumption among female volunteers
(N = 181) between 65 and 93, and living independently in the community
with no cognitive impairment. Seventy-percent (n = 127) were
Caucasian , 18% (n = 33) were Hispanic, and 12% (21) were African
American. The women were divided into two groups "Do
Drink" and "Don't Drink." Statistically significant
differences were found between the groups on 10 of the 15
study variables (d = .38 - .73). Fifty-seven percent of the women
reported being abstinent, while 43% of the sample acknowledged drinking
alcohol. The participants who reported moerate alcohol consumption
performed significantly better on tests of attention, concentration,
and psychomotor skills, verbal-associative capacities and oral fluency.
In addition, they had greater memory self-efficacy, less depression,
better health, performed higher on IADLs, and used memory
strategies more often. Even after adjusting for differences
in educational level between drinkers and non-drinkers, five of
these differences remained statistically significant.

A
Quick Overview of Logistic Regression -- P's & Q's
Date:
Monday,
April 12, 2004
Time:
12:00
- 1:00 PM
Place:
NUR
2.104F, 1700 Red River
Speaker:
Pat Dickson, Can Research
Center, School of Nursing, The University of Texas at Austin
Abstract:
Logistic regression is frequently used in research since ordinary
regression is inappropriate when the outcome variable is not continuous.
Logistic regression involves all of the issues associated with ordinary
regression, plus new ones. This presentation will briefly
mention such issues, will describe why odds ratios are so difficult
to understand, and will demonstrate a new method of looking at logistic
regression that is more informative.

Abstract:
Discriminant Analysis (DA) is a multivariate statistical technique
that may be used to distinguish among groups on the basis of several
predictor variables. The purpose of this colloquium is to
provide the participants with an overview of this widely used statistical
technique. The participants will be provided with a sample
of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) printout for DA
and assisted in reading and interpreting the results correctly.
Upon the completion of the colloquium, the participants should
know when and how DA might be used. Specifically, they will
learn to formulate and interpret the discriminant function(s).

Abstract:
The
CITRIX system provides access to a number of widely used statistical
software packages, including SAS, SPSS, QSR, EQS, AMOS and others.
It is free to faculty and students and can be as fast as running
the software off a hard drive when using a high-speed internet connection
(like the ones at SoN). Dr. Roberts will discuss the advantages
and disadvantages of using CITRIX. Directions for its use will be
outlined, as well. Also, several prominent on-line databases will
be discussed.

Data
Safety and Monitoring Plans for Intervention Research
Speaker:
Dr. Patricia Carter, PhD, RN, School of Nursing, The University
of Texas at Austin
Date:
Monday, May 12, 2003
Time: 12:00 noon - 1:00 pm
Room: School of Nursing, NUR 2.104F
Co-sponsored
by: Center for Health Promotion Research & Center for Social
Work
Abstract: In October 2000 the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
began requiring Data Safety and Monitoring Plans (DSMP) for all
intervention/clinical trial research applications. This presentation
will provide practical information about the purpose of DSMPs. Issues
an investigator must consider when developing a data safety and
monitoring plan for their proposed study will be discussed. Internet
resources available to assist investigators in developing a DSMP
will be presented. Sample DSMPs will be provided.
Social
Risk Factors Affecting Substance Use Among Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual
Youth
Yolanda C. Padilla, PhD, LMSW-AP
Associate Professor
School of Social Work
The University of Texas at Austin
Despite a higher risk for substance abuse among gay, lesbian, and
bisexual (GLB) youth, little empirical evidence exists about factors
related to the coming out process, self-esteem, and social support
that affect their likelihood of substance abuse. The purpose of
this study is to examine one specific health risk behavior in this
population, substance use, and determine whether GLB youth who are
experiencing life stressors are more vulnerable to substance use.
Data for this study were drawn from a dataset of 3132 gay, lesbian,
and bisexual youth 18 years of age or younger conducted in 2000
via an online survey on the health, well being, and social environment
of GLB youth. This study emphasizes the significance in health promotion
interventions of being cognizant of specific risk factors that may
make gay, lesbian, and bisexual youth more susceptible to substance
abuse.

Joyce
Harris, Ph.D.

Comprehension of discourse-level written language has important
implications for the preservation of functional independence, health
maintenance, and health care interventions. Cognitive models of
discourse processing are used to inform clinical assessment procedures
in speech-language pathology. This presentation will highlight a
well-defined model of discourse comprehension, and will demonstrate
how discourse analysis is used to assess cognitive status alterations
in dementia and traumatic brain injury.
