Is There a Relationship Between the Number of Female Students Who Were Cyberbullied and the Number of Female Students Who Seriously Considered Attempting Suicide?

In the United States, cyberbullying has become a major public health concern. Indeed, many people who are victims of cyberbullying consider harming themselves. Because criminal justice practitioners are concerned with public safety, this is an area worthy of study. The general purpose of this study is to investigate whether there is a correlation between the percentage of female students who were electronically bullied and the percentage of female students who seriously considered suicide. Data were collected in 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2017 using a three-stage cluster sample design, which produced a nationally representative sample of students in grades 9–12 who attended public and private schools. As an alternative to avoid the distributional assumptions of independent observations, this study used generalized estimating equations (GEE). The findings revealed that there was no significant difference between the percentage of female students who were electronically bullied and the percentage of female students who seriously considered suicide

Is There a Difference Between Democrat and Republican States in the Percentage of Male High School Students Who Have Ever Used Marijuana?

There are opposing viewpoints on whether marijuana should be legalized. Democrats and Republicans have different attitudes toward the drug. Democrats believe marijuana should be legalized for medical patients, if it is prescribed by a physician and is needed to reduce severe pain. In addition, Democrats believe that the war on recreational marijuana has been a waste of time and government resources. Many Democrats are in favor of legalizing recreational marijuana because it is considered normal by social standards. Republicans, on the other hand, oppose legalizing medical marijuana because they believe other drugs can be prescribed by physicians to reduce pain experienced by medical patients. In addition, Republicans believe that legalizing medical marijuana will lead to legalizing recreational marijuana, which is dangerous and a threat to public safety and health. According to Akers’ social learning theory, individuals learn behaviors according to the frequency, importance, intensity, and duration of the social learning experiences. Children will learn how to act through communications with intimate others, by definitions defined as favorable by others, and by observing how other individuals are rewarded and punished. Because public safety and children’s health are important social issues, and the government controls society, it is important to know if the behaviors of high school students are being affected by the different social learning environments created by the government. The researchers examined electronic second-hand data on marijuana use, which were collected in 2013, 2015, and 2017 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The results of logistic regression for repeated measures indicate that there is no statistically significant relationship between male high school students who have ever used marijuana and political party

Political Partisanship and Male High School Students Who Carry Handguns

Handguns play a significant role in criminal activity. About 66% of all murders and 40% of robberies involve firearms. Because there are about than 470 residents for each full-time police officer in America, the police cannot effectively protect individual citizens. According to the differential association theory, criminality is a product of shared values, motives, drives, rationalizations, and attitudes that can be influenced by perceptions of the legal code. Democrats and Republicans have different views on reducing social harm via gun-control legal codes, and each political party creates its own unique ambience. Indeed, because each political party believes that its gun-control platform is best, it is important to know how children are responding to the issue in each political partisanship jurisdiction. Because gun-related research is essential for public safety, and because funding for gun violence research comprises less than 0.1% of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s annual budget, additional research is important for better understanding the issue. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine if there is a difference between Democrat and Republican states in the percentage of male high school students who carry handguns in their respective jurisdictions. This study examined electronic second-hand data collected in 2013, 2015, and 2017 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The results of logistic regression for repeated measures indicate that there is a statistically significant relationship between male high school students who carry handguns and political party. Male high school students were 77.4% more likely to carry handguns in Republican states than in Democrat states

Is There a Difference Between Democrat and Republican States in the Percentage of Male High School Students Who Carry Weapons on School Property?

Compared to other industrialized countries, America is a relatively violent country. The impact of violent crime on America’s youth is alarming and there is no clear solution. School violence is a serious problem that threatens American youth, and politicians are concerned about the high number of violent crimes committed by teens. However, Democrats and Republicans have very different policy platforms on dealing with violent crimes. On the one hand, Republicans support Stand-Your-Ground laws and believe that individuals have a right to protect themselves. On the other hand, Democrats oppose Stand-Your-Ground laws and believe the government is the best source for protecting people. The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference between political partisanship and the percentage of male high school students who carry weapons on school property. This study examined electronic second-hand data collected in 2013, 2015, and 2017 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Data were collected via the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) using a three-stage cluster sample design, which produced a nationally representative sample of students in grades 9-12 who attended public and private schools. The results of logistic regression for repeated measures revealed that there is a statistically significant relationship between male high school students who carry weapons and political party. Males were 56.9% more likely to carry weapons on school property in Republican states than in Democrat states

Is There a Difference Between Democrat and Republican States in the Percentage of Male High School Students Who Physically Fight on Campus?

School violence is a common occurrence in American high schools. Victims of school violence are more likely than others to become depressed, skip school, and commit suicide. In addition, intimidation, threats, sexual harassment, prejudice, gossip, and ridicule are serious threats to successful education. Overall, about 33% of students are bullied at school by other students, and bullying leads to fights. Because Democrats and Republicans support two different types of social learning environments that will modify the behaviors of residents within their respective jurisdictions, and because public safety is an important social issue, it is important to know if there is a difference between Democrat and Republican jurisdictions and aggressive behaviors of high school students. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine if there is a difference between Democrat and Republican states in the percentage of male high school students who physically fight on campus. This study examined electronic second-hand data collected in 2013, 2015, and 2017 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Data were collected via the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) using a three-stage cluster sample design, which produced a nationally representative sample of students in grades 9-12 who attended public and private schools. The results of the logistic regression for repeated measures indicate that there is no statistically significant relationship between male high school students who physically fight on campus and political party

Political Partisanship and Female High School Students Who Physically Fight on Campus

Democrats and Republicans have different platforms on how to modify the social learning environment. According to the social learning theory, people learn to be aggressive through their life experiences. These experiences include personally observing the behaviors of others and modeling them. Personal behaviors are a product of learning the norms, values, and behaviors of society. Indeed, learning is a by-product of the interaction with others and is influenced by perceptions of the legal code. Because people experience culture conflict when they are exposed to different and opposing attitudes of acceptable behaviors, and because Democrats and Republicans have different attitudes toward marijuana, gun control, and religion, it is unclear if the different social learning environments created by the two different political parties will influence high school violence. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine if there is a difference between political partisanship and the percentage of female high school students who physically fight on campus in each jurisdiction. This study examined electronic second-hand data collected in 2013, 2015, and 2017 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The results of the logistic regression for repeated measures indicate that there is a statistically significant relationship between female high school students who physically fight on campus and political party. Females were 35.6% less likely to physically fight on campus in Republican states than in Democrat states

Political Partisanship and Female High School Students Who Carry Handguns

The United States is a gun culture nation, and gun violence is a serious problem. Because there are more than 280 million guns in America with over 65 million handguns in circulation, the Republicans believe that there are too many guns in America to prevent criminals from illegally obtaining them. In addition, only law-abiding residents will honor gun-control laws. As a result, law-abiding residents will become defenseless, which will promote crime. Democrats, on the other hand, believe that the gun-related crime problem will never be solved until actions are taken to eliminate the availability of handguns. After all, it is hard to commit a gun-related crime if a person does not have the means to commit a gun-related crime. According to the Democrats, if the number of handguns in society is not reduced, then the gun-related crime problem will not be solved. According to the differential association theory, individuals become law violators when they are in contact with people, groups, and events that produce an excess of definitions that are favorable toward criminality. Criminal behaviors are influenced by the legal code and are learned via interactions with other people. Furthermore, a person’s behavior will be influenced by the frequency, importance, duration, and intensity of the social learning experiences. By allowing or restricting the carrying of concealed handguns for law-abiding residents, Democrats and Republicans attempt to create the ambience they envision, which they believe will reduce social harm. If high school students carry concealed handguns, which is against the law, then this would indicate that they are learning to do so in that politically created social environment. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine if there is a difference between Democrat and Republican states in the percentage of female high school students who carry handguns in their respective jurisdictions. This study examined electronic second-hand data collected in 2013, 2015, and 2017 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Although Republican states seem to have higher mean rates of female high school students who carried handguns than Democrat states, the results of the logistic regression for repeated measures indicate that there is no statistically significant relationship between female high school students who carry handguns and political party. This study is important because it demonstrates that neither political party is better than the other when it comes to creating a social learning environment that discourages female high school students from carrying handguns

Patient Knowledge Compared With National Guidelines for Diabetes Care

Data collected on a randomly selected group of 428 patients with insulin-dependent and noninsulin-dependent diabetes from 61 physician practices in eight Michigan communities were compared with national standards for diabetes patient knowledge. Comparisons were performed using a standardized Diabetes Knowledge Test (DKT) and selected items from the Diabetes Education Profile (DEP). Patient performance on these instruments was compared with corresponding items in the Ambulatory Care Facilities section of the Guide lines for Diabetes Care published by the American Diabetes Associ ation and the American Associ ation of Diabetes Educators. In general, insulin-dependent persons scored higher than noninsulin-dependent persons. Those taking insulin (whether insulin-dependent or not) scored higher than noninsulin-dependent persons whose regimen did not include insulin. The findings emphasize the need to subdivide any analysis of clinical diabetes or diabetes education into groups based on insulin use or nonuse.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/69139/2/10.1177_014572178801400312.pd
