Why We Are Losing the War on Gun Violence in the United States
This edited collection of data and perspectives takes a fresh approach to gun violence prevention by addressing the question, “why are we losing the war on gun violence in America?” Although successes and failures in the prevention of gun violence are examined, it is a war we are losing, due to restrictions on research funding, entrenched historical perspectives, structural violence, and perhaps differing priorities or views on what is right or wrong. Gun violence is a public health crisis. It remains politicized and has been paralyzed with inaction. In the chapters, the authors write candidly about the challenges that have thwarted gun violence prevention, as well as highlight possible ...
New technologies and tools for study management
In epidemiologic research, effective tools for study management improve data quality, staff/time efficiency, and cost-effectiveness and strengthen study outcomes.

This paper addresses the design, technical implementation, and field experiences of using a Web-based DMS for the GirlTalk for Teen Moms Study, conducted as part of the NIH-DC Initiative to Reduce Infant Mortality in Minority Populations in Washington, DC (the NIH-DC Initiative). RTI developed a Web-based DMS for the GirlTalk study to assist field staff from multiple sites in effici...

Acceptance, communication mode, and use of audio computer-assisted self- interviewing using touch screen to identify risk factors among pregnant minority women.
This paper evaluates the acceptability, communication mode, and use of audio computer-assisted self-interviewing (ACASI) among minority pregnant women receiving prenatal care in six Washington, DC, sites. We screened 2,913 women for demographic eligibility (at least 18 years old, less than 29 weeks’ gestation, black or Hispanic) and risk of harm from smoking, environmental tobacco smoke exposure, depression, or intimate partner violence. Questions were displayed on touch-screen laptop monitors and heard through earphones. The mean length of time to complete the screening interview was almost 6 minutes. We compared ACASI experience, which included difficulty in using the computer, acceptabi...
