A systematic review of the psychometric properties of self-report research utilization measures used in healthcare
Download2011
Squires, J.E., Newburn-Cook, C.V., O'Rourke, H.M., Wallin, L., Gustavsson, P., Estabrooks, C.
Background: In healthcare, a gap exists between what is known from research and what is practiced. Understanding this gap depends upon our ability to robustly measure research utilization. Objectives: The objectives of this systematic review were: to identify self-report measures of research...

Ease of Imagination, Message Framing and Physical Activity Messages
2010
Abstract: Objectives. The purpose of this research was to replicate a study that examined how message framing and ease of imagination interact to influence attitudes towards the prevention of heart disease through physical activity and a healthy diet. Changes were made such that only physical...

Enhancing productive capacity in the Canadian Arctic: Assessing the effectiveness of instream habitat structures in habitat compensation
Download2004
We examined the effectiveness of physical habitat structures (ramps, V-weirs, vanes, and groins) at increasing the productive capacity of a newly created 3.4-km artificial stream in the Barrenlands region of the Northwest Territories, Canada. We quantified changes in fish density and growth in...

Nhan, J., McMahon, A., Jensen, L.
Although anemia is a common complication of chronic kidney disease, practice variability in its management continues to exist. In an effort to standardize management, the Northern Alberta Renal Program implemented an anemia algorithm, the \"Anemia Protocol.\" A cohort design was used to evaluate...

A Large Fire Database (LFDB), which includes information on fire location, start date, final size, cause, and suppression action, has been developed for all fires larger than 200 ha in area for Canada for the 1959-1997 period. The LFDB represents only 3.1% of the total number of Canadian fires...

Minimizing invasion risk by reducing propagule pressure: a model for ballast-water exchange
Download2005-01-01
Lewis, Mark A., Wonham, Marjorie J., MacIsaac, Hugh J.
Biological invasions are a major and increasing agent of global biodiversity change. Theory and practice indicate that invasion risk can be diminished by reducing propagule pressure, or the quantity, quality, and frequency of introduced individuals. For aquatic invasions, the primary global...

Nielsen, S. E., Haney, A., Kirschbaum, C.D.
We investigated vegetation responses in terms of canopy, ground-layer diversity, and ecological species groups using two restoration treatments at two degraded oak barren and savanna sites in central Wisconsin, USA. The two restoration models tested were (1) process-only, which reintroduced fire...

Temperature sensitivity of N2O emissions from fertilized agricultural soils: Mathematical modeling in ecosys
Download2008
N2O emissions have been found to be highly sensitive to soil temperature (T-s) which may cause substantial rises in emissions with rises in Ts expected in most climate change scenarios. Mathematical models used to project changes in emissions during climate change should be able to simulate the...

Bostrom, A.M., Estabrooks, C.A., Kajermo, K.N., Thompson, D.S., Hutchinson, A.M., Wallin, L.
Background: A commonly recommended strategy for increasing research use in clinical practice is to identify barriers to change and then tailor interventions to overcome the identified barriers. In nursing, the BARRIERS scale has been used extensively to identify barriers to research utilization. ...

The Influence of School Policies on Smoking Prevalence Among Students in Grades 5-9, Canada, 2004-2005
Download2010-01-01
Lovato, C. Y., Pullman, A. W., Halpin, P., Zeisser, C., Nykiforuk, Candace I.J., Best, F., Diener, A., Manske, S.
Introduction: School characteristics may account for some of the variation in smoking prevalence among schools. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between characteristics of school tobacco policies and school smoking prevalence. We also examined the relationship...
