My data profiles
Empirical studies of establishment clause and free exercise decisions in federal courts are scant. This dataset analyzes various factors surrounding these decisions, such as the religious ideology of the judge and claimant, as well as the content of the decisions themselves. This dataset includes all digested free exercise, religious accommodation, and establishment clause claims made by the federal court of appeals from 2006 through 2015.
The incorporation of data sharing into the research lifecycle is an important part of modern scholarly debate. In this study, the DataONE Usability and Assessment working group addresses two primary goals: To examine the current state of data sharing and reuse perceptions and practices among research scientists as they compare to the 2009/2010 baseline study, and to examine differences in practices and perceptions across age groups, geographic regions, and subject disciplines. We distributed surveys to a multinational sample of scientific researchers at two different time periods (October 2009 to July 2010 and October 2013 to March 2014) to observe current states of data sharing and to see what, if any, changes have occurred in the past 3–4 years. We also looked at differences across age, geographic, and discipline-based groups as they currently exist in the 2013/2014 survey. Results point to increased acceptance of and willingness to engage in data sharing, as well as an increase in actual data sharing behaviors. However, there is also increased perceived risk associated with data sharing, and specific barriers to data sharing persist. There are also differences across age groups, with younger respondents feeling more favorably toward data sharing and reuse, yet making less of their data available than older respondents. Geographic differences exist as well, which can in part be understood in terms of collectivist and individualist cultural differences. An examination of subject disciplines shows that the constraints and enablers of data sharing and reuse manifest differently across disciplines. Implications of these findings include the continued need to build infrastructure that promotes data sharing while recognizing the needs of different research communities. Moving into the future, organizations such as DataONE will continue to assess, monitor, educate, and provide the infrastructure necessary to support such complex grand science challenges.

The purpose of this study was to examine the unique needs and challenges facing the Latino Adventist community in the North American Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, which includes the United States, Hawaii, Canada, and Bermuda. "The major focus was on illuminating the nature, current trends, perspectives, and trends within the Adventist Latino community" (Hernandez, 1995, p.29). AVANCE was conducted as a follow-up study to Valuegenesis. The ARDA has added six additional variables to the original data set to enhance the users' experience on our site.
Objective Surgical informed consent is essential prior to caesarean section, but potentially compromised by insufficient communication. We assessed the association between a multi-component intervention and women's recollection of information pertaining to informed consent for caesarean section in a low-resource setting, thereby contributing to respectful maternity care. Design Pre-post implementation survey, conducted from January to June 2018, surveying women prior to discharge. Setting Rural 150-bed mission hospital in Southern Malawi. Participants A total of 160 postoperative women were included: 80 pre- and 80 post-implementation. Intervention Based on observed deficiencies and input from local stakeholders a multi-component intervention was developed, consisting of a standardised checklist, wall poster with a six-step guide and on-the-job communication training for health workers. Primary and secondary outcome measures Individual components of informed consent were: indication, explanation of procedure, common complications, implications for future pregnancies and verbal enquiry of consent, which were compared pre- and post-intervention using χ2 test. Generalized linear models were used to analyse incompleteness scores and recollection of the informed consent process. Results The proportion of women who recollected being informed about procedure-related risks increased from 25/80 to 47/80 (OR 3.13 [95% Confidence Interval 1.64-6.00]). Recollection of an explanation of the procedure changed from 44/80 to 55/80 (OR 1.80[0.94-3.44]), implications for future pregnancy from 25/80 to 47/80 (1.69[0.89-3.20]) and of consent enquiry from 67/80 to 73/80 (OR 2.02 [0.73-5.37]). After controlling for other variables, incompleteness scores post-intervention were 26% lower (Exp(β)=0.74; 95% CI 0.57 – 0.96). Recollection of common complications increased by 29% (Exp(β)=1.29; 95% CI 1.01 – 1.64). Recollection of the correct indication did not differ significantly. Conclusion Recollection of informed consent for caesarean section changed significantly in the post-intervention group. Obtaining informed consent for caesarean section is one of the essential components of respectful maternity care.
Omnibus surveys combine questions from different organizations and researchers into a single survey. This enables data collection at significantly reduced costs compared with commissioning an entire survey. CRRC Georgia offers a quarterly omnibus survey. CRRC's Omnibus has an achieved sample size of 1000 respondents, is conducted face to face, and is nationally representative. Demographic cross tabulations are provided for each question, including age, sex, education level, employment status, and settlement type (Capital, other urban, rural).
