It was broadly recognized in the communities interviewed that the nutritional qualities of the morama beans had obvious benefits by boosting people s immune systems thereby protecting them from illness. They... [Pg.233]

If you do not listen to people, you cannot expect them to listen to you. Communication is a two-way activity. Do not make assumptions about what people know, think, or want done about risks. Take the time to find out what people are thinking. Often, people are more concerned about issues such as trust, credibility, competence, control, voluntariness, fairness, and compassion than about mortality statistics and the details of QRA. Use techniques such as interviews, focus groups, and surveys to gauge what people are thinking. [Pg.61]

External communications about PSM can parallel internal efforts. For example, the CEO or other senior sponsor might take advantage of a public speaking opportunity or a media interview to discuss the company s commitment to PSM and the ways it has devised to implement it. [Pg.31]

Discussions and interviews with the task experts can be supplemented with observations of their actual performance, for example, taking notes on certain aspects of the task or taking video or audio recordings. Observational techniques can reveal information that may be difficult to acquire in any other way. Detailed physical task performance data can be recorded, and major environmental influences (e.g., noise, light, interruptions) can all be faithfully represented. Observations can also provide an insight into the way that the team members communicate, allocate job responsibilities, and make use of operating procedures and other resources. [Pg.156]

Keep your material interesting. In any broad communication material a questions-and-answer format, or an Interview with the Chairman (or other senior sponsor) can help present information and messages in a conversational manner that many readers find more interesting than a more static narrative. A sample interview-style article is given at the end of this chapter. [Pg.17]

Example of "Interview with the Chairman" for internal communications... [Pg.42]

The 1992 National Longitudinal Alcohol Epidemiologic Survey (NLAES), based on interviews with a national probability household sample of nearly 43,000 adults age 18 years and older, showed the 1-year prevalence of DSM-IV alcohol use disorder to be 7.4% (i.e., 3.0% with alcohol abuse and 4.4% with alcohol dependence) (Grant et al. 1994). Findings from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC), a community-based survey of nearly 43,000 individuals conducted in 2001—2002 (Grant... [Pg.3]

Children Pain interviews may be conducted with children as young as 3 or 4 years of age however, communication may be limited by vocabulary.34 Terms familiar to children such as hurt, owie, or boo boo may be used to describe pain. The VAS is best used with children older than 7 years of age. Other scales based on numbers of objects (e.g., poker chips), increasing color intensity, or faces of pain may be helpful for children between 4 and 7 years of age. In children younger than 3 to 4 years of age, behavioral or physiologic measures, such as pulse or respiratory rate, may be more appropriate. Pain assessment in newborns and infants relies on behavioral observation for such clues as vocalizations (crying and fussing), facial expressions,... [Pg.491]

Besides the intake interview, which can help gather information, there are a number of assessment measures for determining the quality of an important interpersonal relationship. The questions on these measures generally ask about things like communication styles, satisfaction in the relationship, joint decision making, and in some cases, abusive behavior. Two of the most well-known measures are the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (Spanier, 1976) and the Marital Satisfaction Inventory (Snyder, 1979). Therapists and counselors also may choose to interview couples together (with the consent of client and partner), and some therapists may recommend couples therapy (see Chapter 5) as part of the overall approach to treatment if deemed appropriate to help the client. Relationship assessments can yield important information that may be useful when working with couples. [Pg.162]

When I met Robbynne she was about to move out of state to a warmer climate. The interview took place in her home in the Ananda Community, a spiritually based cohousing group in the Seattle area. [Pg.186]

Prior to 9/11, an assessment of chemical plant site security by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) was considered by many to be the most comprehensive analysis that was publicly available. ATSDR researchers reviewed national statistics on domestic terrorism compiled by the FBI in 1995 and interviewed security staff from facilities and potential targets in one community with numerous chemical plants. Reviewers found the following concerns ... [Pg.8]

But how is this manifested in lawn people s decision making and experience Chapter 6 examines the motivations and doubts of lawn chemical users through review of national survey results and in-depth interviews with cul-de-sac dwellers. The results show how anxious homeowners reconcile their behaviors with their beliefs, usually through consideration of collective good, community values, and moral obligations. These results reveal that lawn people do not simply choose to maintain their lawns, but instead act under the burden of reconciling a range of contradictions in both economy and community. [Pg.207]

G Yeah. Well, as I told Mrs. Casillas in that interview out here, she asked me how I felt. I said that it s just like being inside of a little old nutshell. You re in there, you re looking out, you see people on the outside, carrying on their normal activities. You re trying - you try to communicate with them you try to get out. There s no getting out. [Pg.65]

Nevertheless, these and other data limitations severely restrict our understanding of the experiences of African Americans in the chemistry community. For example, much of the most insightful and interesting data requested from NORC could not be provided or, if provided was of little or no used because of suppressed counts to protect confidentiality. The survey that was provided was for presentations and articles over the past three years. These results show that the median numbers of papers presented by white respondents was two compared to one for black respondents at professional meetings. Each group published a median of one article. An interview questioned the fairness of the so-called peer review journal process. The Cohort 111 interviewee asserts that Science is political. 1 saw a lot of it at.because some of my colleagues were journal editors. 1 saw firsthand why certain articles got published and certain ones didn t. Some got published with scant reviews, while others were scmtinized reviews. ... [Pg.126]

Even the nonverbal reactions of the interviewer can influence the witness. If, for example, the witness admits making an error in performing an operation and the interviewer shakes her head back and forth and lets out an exasperatedsigh, the interviewer has communicated her perception, what a stupid operator, without words. Thus an interviewer must remain constantly aware of the potential influence she can have on the witness. [Pg.150]

This first phase may appear on the surface to be shallow chitchat, yet it can determine the entire outcome of the interview. It provides an opportunity for the interviewer to explain the purpose, format, expectations, confidentiality, and to deal with any special concerns of the witness. Yet, the most beneficial aspect is the opportunity to establish a constructive atmosphere in which communication can begin. [Pg.157]

In addition, the team should also update the in-progress analysis of the occurrence. For example, update the fact list, logic tree, or fact hypothesis matrix. Finally, the information from the interview must he communicated to the remainder of the investigation team. [Pg.161]
