A Protocol to Assess Feasibility, Acceptability, and Usability of Mobile Technology for Symptom Management in Pediatric Transplant Patients
This study will be among the first to explore the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of integrating multiple mHealth technologies to obtain patient-generated symptom data for the PBMT population. Results will enhance our understanding of how these data present, interact, and cluster together throughout the posttransplant period for these children and lead to symptom management strategies. Results will focus on a high-risk population that potentially stands to benefit from the use of mobile technologies. (Source: Nursing Research)

Approaches to Recruitment of Postmenopausal Women for a Community-Based Study
Discussion
Recruitment could be more costly and time-consuming than anticipated. Recruitment using direct-targeted mailings, such as provider letters and postcards, was successful in our study and has been effective in previous studies reviewed. Facebook was successful for recruitment in our study and may continue to be useful for recruitment in the future, as the number of women accessing Facebook continues to increase.

Discussion
Received informational social support, medication type, time since diagnosis, symptoms, and emerging adulthood factors have the potential to influence medication adherence. Received informational social support interventions, such as patient-to-patient or group-based mentoring, may serve to improve medication adherence among emerging adults with IBD.

Mediators of Physical Activity Behavior Change in the “Girls on the Move” Intervention
Background
The minimal effect of interventions to date on increasing young adolescent girls’ physical activity (PA) may be due to inadequate understanding of the mechanisms underlying behavior change, yet sparse research testing a PA intervention has examined the capacity of theories to explain PA, particularly when using objective measures.
Objectives
The aim of the study was to examine whether constructs from the health promotion model and self-determination theory mediated changes in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) following a 17-week intervention.
Methods
The study was a secondary analysis of da...

Using Facebook To Recruit Pregnant Women for Research
Discussion
In order to decrease the time lag between research and practice, and to enroll more participants, innovative strategies are necessary. Although there is evidence that Facebook was useful in recruiting a sample of pregnant women into research, Facebook may also be a useful resource in recruiting other populations into research as well.

Human Factors Associated With the Use of Manual Bulb Suction Devices
This study is the first step in developing clinical guidelines for safe and effective mechanical use of manual bulb suction to reduce and prevent upper airway injury.
Objective
The aim of this study was to determine the negative pressure generated when a 2-oz. manual bulb suction device is compressed and released, and hand placement is either in a radial or axial position.
Methods
A total of 87 subjects were recruited using a convenience sampling method to identify hand placement and predicted negative pressures emitted during bulb compression and release. A pressure transmitter system was developed and tested with 6...

Overcoming Challenges in Multisite Trials
Conclusion
Addressing challenges a priori can improve scientific rigor, reproducibility, and evidence from multisite studies. Given the benefits to scientific rigor, reproducibility, and design, findings from multisite studies are more likely to provide evidence to transform clinical practice and influence policy.
