Trends Before and After the Removal of Race and Ethnicity from the Vaginal Birth After Cesarean Calculator
No full textWe conducted a population-based retrospective cohort study and performed interrupted time series analyses to examine whether the removal of race and ethnicity from the vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) calculator was associated with changes in rates of trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) and VBAC in the United States. After the calculator revision, rates of TOLAC and VBAC in the overall eligible population and among the four largest racial and ethnic groups (Hispanic, non-Hispanic Asian, non-Hispanic Black, and non-Hispanic White) (rate ratios ranged from 0.99 to 1.04, and all 95% CIs included the null) were unchanged. Rates of successful VBAC among Hispanic (75.0%), non-Hispanic Asian (71.0%), and non-Hispanic Black (67.0%) people remained lower compared with non-Hispanic White people (77.2%). More work is needed to address the significant racial disparities that persist for TOLAC outcomes
High School Students’ Preferences for Praise and Reprimand: A Pilot Study
No full textThe use of teacher praise is considered an evidence-based practice, yet little praise research has taken place in secondary school settings. Due to developmental differences, high school students likely present unique preferences for praise and reprimand compared to younger students. Therefore, there is a need to study high school students’ preferences for evidenced-based strategies. A total of 55 high school students from seven states in the United States, participated in a pilot survey examining preferences for praise and reprimand. Most students reported receiving praise for schoolwork and appropriate behavior was acceptable and receiving rewards (for work and behavior), while still acceptable, was less favorable than praise. Students preferred private praise, messages sent home to parents/guardians, and get out of work passes. Students least preferred public posts or school displays, no recognition, and praise out loud. For reprimands, students most preferred private verbal or written reprimands and least preferred detention or Saturday school. Implications for maximizing praise with high school students by considering student preferences and future research directions are offered
