Participation is risky and clay analytics (book presentation and workshop;
No full textIn the Clay Analytics workshop you will use clay and light to approach the vocabulary that is touched upon in discourses around participation in art and design in a tangible way. The workshop was designed by Luna Maurer of Moniker in dialogue with Liesbeth Huybrechts, author of the book Participation is Risky. It uses clay and light play to make hands-on representations and even stories around words such as participation, user and maker, hybridity, autonomy, authorship, community and so on. Prior to the workshop Liesbeth gave a short introduction about the book

A Government Architect doesnt find much time to do any actual building though, and the same will be true for the new Government Architect, Liesbeth van der Pol, who was appointed in August.

Determinants of adherence to insulin and blood glucose monitoring among adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes in Qatar:a qualitative study
No full textBACKGROUND: Adherence to insulin and blood glucose monitoring (BGM) is insufficient in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with type 1 diabetes (T1D) worldwide and in Qatar. Little is known about the factors related to being aware of suboptimal adherence and the beliefs related to suboptimal adherence in this group. This qualitative study investigated factors related to awareness of, and beliefs about suboptimal adherence, as well as the existence of specific action plans to combat suboptimal adherence using the I-Change model.METHODS: The target group was comprised of 20 Arab AYAs (17-24 years of age) with T1D living in Qatar. Participants were interviewed via semi-structured, face-to-face individual interviews, which were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using the Framework Method.RESULTS: Suboptimal adherence to insulin, and particularly to BGM, in AYAs with T1D was identified. Some AYAs reported to have little awareness about the consequences of their suboptimal adherence and how this can adversely affect optimal diabetes management. Participants also associated various disadvantages to adherence ( e.g., hypoglycemia, pain, among others) and reported low self-efficacy in being adherent ( e.g., when outside home, in a bad mood, among others). Additionally, goal setting and action-planning often appeared to be lacking. Factors facilitating adherence were receiving support from family and healthcare providers, being motivated, and high self-efficacy. CONCLUSIONS: Interventions that increase awareness concerning the risks of suboptimal adherence of AYAs with T1D are needed, that increase motivation to adhere by stressing the advantages, creating support and increasing self-efficacy, and that address action planning and goal parameters.</p
Peer selection and influence effects on adolescent alcohol use: a stochastic actor-based model
No full textBackground: Early adolescent alcohol use is a major public health challenge. Without clear guidance on the causal pathways between peers and alcohol use, adolescent alcohol interventions may be incomplete. The objective of this study is to disentangle selection and influence effects associated with the dynamic interplay of adolescent friendships and alcohol use. Methods: The study analyzes data from Add Health, a longitudinal survey of seventh through eleventh grade U.S. students enrolled between 1995 and 1996. A stochastic actor-based model is used to model the co-evolution of alcohol use and friendship connections. Results: Selection effects play a significant role in the creation of peer clusters with similar alcohol use. Friendship nominations between two students who shared the same alcohol use frequency were 3.60 (95% CI: 2.01-9.62) times more likely than between otherwise identical students with differing alcohol use frequency. The model controlled for alternative pathways to friendship nomination including reciprocity, transitivity, and similarities in age, gender, and race/ethnicity. The simulation model did not support a significant friends' influence effect on alcohol behavior. Conclusions: The findings suggest that peer selection plays a major role in alcohol use behavior among adolescent friends. Our simulation results would lend themselves to adolescent alcohol abuse interventions that leverage adolescent social network characteristics
Determinants of healthful eating and physical activity among adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes in Qatar:A qualitative study
No full textBACKGROUND: In Qatar, as in the rest of the world, the sharp rise in the prevalence of type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a leading cause for concern, in terms associated with morbidity, mortality, and increasing health costs. Besides adhering to medication, the outcome of diabetes management is also dependent on patient adherence to the variable self-care behaviors including healthful eating (HE) and physical activity (PA). Yet, dietary intake and PA in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with T1D are known to fall short of recommended guidelines. The aim of this study was to develop an in-depth understanding of the behavioral determinants of HE and PA adherence among Arab AYAs within the age range of 17-24 years with T1D attending Hamad General Hospital.METHODS: Semi-structured, face-to-face individual interviews were conducted with 20 participants. Interviews were based on an integrative health behavior change model, the I-Change model (ICM). All interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using the framework method.RESULTS: More participants reported non-adherence than adherence. Several motivational determinants of adherence to HE and PA were identified. The majority of participants were cognizant of their own behaviors towards HE and PA. Yet, some did not link low adherence to HE and PA with increased risks of health problems resulting from T1D. Facilitators to adherence were identified as being convinced of the advantages of HE and PA, having support and high self-efficacy, a high level of intention, and a good health care system.CONCLUSION: The suboptimal adherence in AYAs to HE and PA needs more attention. Supportive actions are needed to encourage adherence to a healthy lifestyle to achieve benefits in terms of glycemic control and overall health outcomes, with a special focus on adolescents. Interventions are needed to foster motivation by addressing the relevant determinants in order to promote adherence to these two behaviors in AYAs with T1D.</p
Determinants of Heavy Episodic Drinking Among University Students, an Application of the I - Change Model
No full textIntroductionHeavy episodic drinking (HED) is a major problem among Colombian university students. This study aims to identify the sociodemographic characteristics and motivational constructs, as defined by the I-Change model (ICM), associated with HED among university students in Colombia.MethodA cross-sectional study was conducted with 846 university students from three universities in Colombia. Participants completed an online questionnaire that assessed sociodemographic characteristics and psychographic constructs based on the ICM. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, ANOVA, and binary logistic regression analyses were performed to analyze the data.ResultsHeavy episodic drinking was more prevalent among male students, those with higher socioeconomic status, those living in their hometown, and those attending private universities in Colombia. HED was associated with lower risk perception, greater perceived advantages, and lower perceived disadvantages of consuming ten or more standard drinks. Students who engaged in HED also reported higher social norms, greater modeling and pressure from loved ones to drink, reduced self-efficacy in refusing drinking situations, and a stronger intention to engage in HED.ConclusionPreventive interventions targeting university students in Colombia should specifically address the key sociodemographic and motivational factors associated with heavy episodic drinking (HED), as identified in this study
