Letter-cluster samplinghas been promoted as a reliable method of sampling large populations whilst retaining the possibility of linking them together using nominal information. This article argues that letter-cluster sampling is neither a statistically valid nor a practical technique when applied to poll books. These sources have a high correlation between the cluster-selection parameter and the parameter to be evaluated — i.e. surname and vote.

An operational approach to computerized record linkage has been developed based on the concept of probability of chance match in two groups of records brought together for comparison. Tolerance levels can be readily derived from these records for decision-making in accepting or rejecting a linked pair. This approach is especially suitable for iteration when linked pairs are removed in successive cycles. An application of linkage for death clearance of the 1942 resident population of 437,967 registered in Hawaii during a 38-year period from 1942 to 1979 is presented. The reliability of linkage and rate of failure were analyzed.

Empirical tests of the application of computer record linkage methods versus the use of routine clerical searching, for bringing together various vital and ill-health records, have shown that the success rate for the computer operation was higher (98.3 versus 96.7 per cent) and the proportion of false linkages very much lower (0.1 versus 2.3 per cent). The rate at which the ill-health records were processed by the computer was approximately 14,000 per minute of central processor time, representing a cost of a half a cent apiece.Factors affecting the speed, accuracy and cost of computerized record linkage are discussed.

Methods are described for deriving personal and family histories of birth, marriage, procreation, ill health and death, for large populations, from existing civil registrations of vital events and the routine records of ill health. Computers have been used to group together and »link« the separately derived records pertaining to successive events in the lives of the same individuals and families, rapidly and on a large scale. Most of the records employed are already available as machine readable punchcards and magnetic tapes, for statistical and administrative purposes, and only minor modifications have been made to the manner in which these are produced.As applied to the population of the Canadian province of British Columbia (currently about 2 million people) these methods have already yielded substantial information on the risks of disease: a) in the population, b) in relation to various parental characteristics, and c) as correlated with previous occurrences in the family histories.

Introduction: Adolescent are at high risk of unwanted pragnency, including abortion, STIs, HIV/AIDS. Risky sexual behavior is one of the entrance transmissions of unwanted pregnancy. Such behavior can be influenced by various factors, beyond and within the individual factors. Teens need the support and motivation in deciding not to do risky sexual behavior. The purpose of this study was to investigate the determinants of adolescent behavior in the prevention of unwanted pregnancy.Methods: This research used cross-sectional design. The populations were students of senior high school in District Sintang. The were 123 respondents chosen by cluster sampling technique for this study. All data were collected using questionnaires and then analysed using bivariate (chi square) and multivariate analysis (logistic regression).Results: The results showed that the majority of respondents did not have good knowledge about the prevention of unwanted pregnancy. Related variable is the level of parental education (p=0.001), the support of parents/guardians (p=0.009), support teachers (p=0.005), peer support (p=0.039), residency (p=0.009), a pastime activity (p=0.000), knowledge of adolescents about reproductive health (p=0.016), perception ability of adolescents (p=0.006) and attitude of adolescents (p=0.049). Adolescent self-perception abilities are variables that most influence on the behavior of adolescents in the prevention of unwanted pregnancy.Conclusions: Efforts to improve reproductive health programs should be early and adolescent have responsibilities as well as healthy behaviors.

Background and Aims: Temperament is determined as a relatively constant, basic, and innate position that underlies and modifies the expression of activity, emotionality, and sociability among people. The current study aimed to investigate the prediction of dark personality traits and self-destruction based on emotion regulation among adolescent females. Materials and Methods: This correlational study included 250 adolescent females using a cluster sampling method in the academic year of 2018-19 in Shiraz, Iran. The participants were asked to complete Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, Dark Triad Scale, and Chronic Self-Destructiveness Scale. Results: The results of the regression analysis showed that emotion regulation with beta coefficients was able to predict significant and positive dark personality traits (0.25), narcissism (0.49), Machiavellianism (0.39), psychopathy (0.32), sadism (0.35), and self-destructiveness (0.49) (P<0.05). Conclusion: Directly targeted interventions to regulate emotion may be useful in addressing risky behaviors of adolescents with self-destructive and dark personality traits.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis dampak dan implementasi bantuan pemerintah daerah terhadap pemberdayaan masyarakat Kabupaten Banggai. Penentuan daerah sampel dilakukan Teknik pengambilan sampel yang dilakukan menggunakan Metode One-Stage Cluster Sampling yang merupakan teknik memilih sebuah sampel dari kelompok-kelompok unit yang kecil atau membagi populasi menjadi kelompok atau kluster. Beberapa kluster kemudian dipilih sebagai wakil dari populasi yaitu Kecamatan Luwuk Timur, Kecamatan Luwuk Utara dan Kecamatan Luwuk dengan mempertimbangkan jumlah dan jenis bantuan pemerintah yang diterima. Kemudian seluruh elemen dalam kluster terpilih dijadikan sebagai sampel penelitian. Metode   analisis data dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif untuk menjelaskan gambaran umum mengenai Dampak Dan Implementasi Bantuan Pemerintah Terhadap Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Kabupaten Banggai dengan menggunakan metode ImportancePerformance Analysis (IPA). Pengukuran faktor dilakukan membandingkan antara harapan dan kinerja pelaksanaan bantuan pemerintah terhadap pemberdayaan masyarakat Kabupaten Banggai. Metode ini dilakukan dengan pendekatan evaluasi dampak (impact evaluation). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa implementasi bantuan pemerintah terhadap pemberdayaan masyarakat Kabupaten Banggai diperoleh hasil bahwa bantuan pemerintah yang diberikan kepada masyarakat 99 persen tepat jumlah, 99 persen guna namun 18, 87 persen tidak tepat sasaran, 25, 31 persen tidak tepat waktu. Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan SPSS 17 nilai Sig (2-tailed) adalah sebesar 0,000 < 0,05 bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara pendapatan perbulan sebelum menerima bantuan pemerintah dengan pendapatan perbulan setelah menerima bantuan pemerintah. Dari hasil perhitungan uji t dapat dilihat bahwa harga t = |20,586| dengan tingkat signifikansi 0,00. Harga t pada tabel alpha 0,05 (df 301) adalah 1,967Dengan demikian t hitung 20,586 > t tabel 1,967 dapat ditarik kesimpulan bahwabantuan pemerintah berdampak pada pendapatan masyarakat.
