aims: drug abuse among college students continues as a major public-health concern. theory-driven research is necessary to address and find causes. the current research investigates the utility of theory of planned behavior (tpb) in designing and implementing a drug abuse educational prevention program among medical college students. methods: this quasi-experimental study was conducted among 12...

The present study examined the utility of two forms of measurement of intrinsic motivation in increasing the predictive validity of the theory of planned behaviour. Self-report questionnaires were administered to school pupils (n1⁄4 174), University students (n1⁄4 129) and adults (n1⁄4 157). The data were analysed using confirmatory factor analysis and regression analysis. Confirmatory analysis...

Laser spectroscopy studies are being prepared to measure the 1s ground state hyperfine splitting in trapped cold highly charged ions. The purpose of such experiments is to test quantum electrodynamics in the strong electric field regime. These experiments form part of the HITRAP project at GSI. A brief review of the planned experiments is presented.

Case study research provides nurses with a form of inquiry that is holistic and appropriate for a variety of populations. Jeanine Gangeness and Eleanor Yurkovich discuss components of case study research, including its theoretical base, design methods, multiple data sources and analysis. The information presented is expanded on by using a planned population-based, multiple-case explanatory study.
