A formative evaluation was conducted of the Chemical Health Education and Coaching (CHEC) program sponsored by the Youth Sports Institute at Michigan State University. The degree to which high school athletic coaches (a) became knowledgeable about chemical health and (b) were confident in their ability to apply that knowledge to their team were the two primary concerns of this study. Two hundred eighteen high school athletic coaches comprised the experimental and control groups to whom identical pretest and posttest instruments were administered. The CHEC program consisted of three 1-hr sessions. The subjects were asked to respond to one questionnaire that assessed both their knowledge and confidence in that knowledge and their ability to use it with their athletes. The results indicated that the coaches who were exposed to CHEC were more knowledgeable and more confident than control coaches.

The most frequently asked questions regarding the phenomenon of American universities in the Arabian Gulf are: how good are they and how likely are they to endure? Already one of the first to enter the arena (George Mason University in 2005) was forced to close its Ras al-Khaimah campus in October of 2009 “after reaching an impasse with our partner over budget and control issues” (http://eagle.gmu.edu/newsrooms/740). GMU’s former students were directed to its American campus and seven other institutions within the UAE with whom GMU had teach-out agreements. One of these seven institutions has now closed as well: on 6 July 2010 Michigan State University (MSU) announced it was closing its undergraduate programs in Dubai. Its former students were offered a special package to attend the MSU campus in Lansing. As reported in the Lansing State Journal, the reason given was that the Dubai campus had “failed to attract sufficient numbers of students and was no longer financially sustainable.” It had just eighty-five students. However, MSU still had to pay between $1.3–1.7 million in “wind-down costs” (http://lansingstatejournal.com/article/20100706/NEWS01/307060031/MSU-to-close-programs-at-Dubai-campus).

Four hundred sixty-seven high school athletes were screened in apreparticipation athletic physical. Forty-six (9.8%) of these athletes presented with asymptomatic, nontraumatic unilateral hyperextension. Twenty-three athletes were reexamined and compared to a normal control group. A 2.5-cm, statistically significant heel-to-heel difference was recorded in the hyperextension group. Between the involved hyperextended and uninvolved legs, there were differences in average range of motion (132.04° vs. 130.74°, respectively), average manual anterior translation by KT-1000 (5.39 mm vs. 5.15 mm, respectively), average posterior translation (2.07 mm vs. 2.00 mm, respectively), average peak quadriceps torque (86.25 ft-lb vs. 84.06 ft-lb, respectively), and hamstring average peak torque (53.89 ft-lb vs. 52.93 ft-lb, respectively), though these differences were not statistically significant. In the control group, there was no heel-to-heel difference in the right versus the left knee. Heel-to-heel difference between the experimental and control groups was statistically significant. There was no statistically significant difference between range of motion, anterior translation, or posterior translation between the experimental and control groups.

Objectives. Infectious disease knowledge and behaviors are key elements that ensure student health and safety. This study explores the impact of health education on student knowledge and behaviors toward infectious diseases and determines the factors affecting infectious diseases knowledge and behaviors among students in Gansu, China. Methods. A cross-sectional study and three sampling methods were used in two counties, 12 schools, and 32 classes in Gansu, China, from 2012 to 2013. Collected data included the following: (1) sociodemographic characteristics of 2002 students (1001 participants in the intervention group and 1001 in the control group); (2) accuracy of student knowledge and behaviors toward infectious diseases based on comparison of intervention and control groups through X2 test; and (3) mean scores on knowledge and behavior of students with different characteristics toward infectious diseases, as analyzed through analysis of variance (ANOVA). Multiple linear regression was conducted to analyze factors affecting student knowledge and behaviors toward infectious diseases. Results. Statistically significant differences were observed among eight items of infectious disease transmission and treatment knowledge between intervention and control groups (P<0.001). Average accuracies of knowledge and behaviors toward infectious diseases reached 72.23% and 60.03%. Significant differences were observed in six items on student behavior in rural and urban areas (P<0.001). Health education, household register, and county affected scores of student knowledge and behaviors toward infectious diseases (P<0.05). Gender and education level also affected scores of student behaviors toward infectious diseases (P<0.001). Conclusions. Health education contributes to student knowledge and behaviors toward infectious diseases. Students in the control group need intensified health education on infectious diseases. Health education needs to pay particular attention to rural students, all male students, and students at senior high school level living on campus.

The article examines the relationship between the development of multicultural values in students and various factors, including the level of self-realization, learning success, the nature of interests, social activism. The study was conducted on 160 students of Baku State University. In the study, experimental and control groups were selected and implemented in two phases. During the research, modern teaching methods and other techniques were used to develop multicultural values. A comparative analysis of the first and second stages showed that the level of self-realization with multicultural values, the nature of interests, the increase in learning success, and the relationship with social activism are two-way. That is, raising the level of self-realization, increasing the activity of demands in public affairs, as well as the formation of new interests, increasing the success of training is one of the main conditions for the development of multicultural values. The study showed that in the experimental group there is a correlation between learning achievements, self-realization and social activity and multicultural values (r = 0.0391, p = 0.014; r = 6.136, p = 0.044; r = 4.132, p = 0.048). The study concludes that the development of multicultural values can be achieved through the achievement of the highest results, capacity building and social activism.
