Abstract This study explores the influence of Black adults’ Alzheimer’s disease (AD) knowledge and family history of AD on cognition. A sample of Black adults (n=66, age range=45-84) completed a computerized cognitive (CogState Brief) battery and surveys of AD knowledge, family history of AD diagnosis, and health. On the 14-item AD knowledge survey, participants correctly answered a mean of 10.80 (SD=1.50) items. Approximately, 56% reported a biological family member diagnosed with AD, of these 30% reported this being a mother or father. Linear regression models suggested no significant association between AD knowledge and cognitive performance. However, adults with a family member diagnosed with AD had worse visual learning accuracy even after adjusting for age, education, and income. Increased age was associated with worse processing speed, particularly in adults with a mother diagnosed with AD. These findings demonstrate the importance of examining the influence of family history on Black adults’ cognitive health.

Abstract Introduction Palestinian society is going through health transition that is associated with increase in chronic diseases due to poor dietary habits so adequate integration of nutrition information is important. Aims The aim of this study is to find the association between nutrition literacy and diet behavior among a group of Palestinian participants. Methods A sample of 101 Palestinian participants were recruited to participate in the study. An online survey was used to collect study data. Newest Vital Sign quiz was used to collect information on nutrition literacy and Short Format of the Diet Health and Knowledge Survey (SFDHKS) was used to collect information on diet behavior and USDA food security questionnaire was used to collect data on food security. Data was analyzed utilizing SPSS 21. Results This study included 101 participants, mean age 22.7 y ± 8.7 y, mainly females (females were 83.2% and males were 16.8%). 5.7% of the study participants were obese, 13.8% overweight and 10.3% were underweight. The prevalence of adequate nutrition literacy was 29%. There was minimal association between diet behavior and nutrition literacy, food security and BMI categories, but significant association with income and living in city relative to village (p < 0.05). Only 11 participants had some form of food insecurity. Conclusion There is low prevalence of adequate nutrition literacy. Nutrition literacy depends on social and economic aspects but further research is need to understand its relationship to diet behavior.

Introduction: Surrogate decision makers (SDMs) represent critical stakeholders in decision making for comatose survivors of cardiac arrest, yet these individuals are often unprepared for decision making and unfamiliar with the complexity of post-cardiac arrest care. To that end, we created a decision aid for SDMs intended to inform and support evidence-based decision making for comatose survivors of cardiac arrest. Methods: We conducted a pilot trial to measure real world effectiveness of the Tool to EMPOwer (TEMPO) Surrogate Decision Makers, by measuring knowledge and acceptability. Individuals were enrolled who self-identified as the SDM for a comatose survivor of OHCA admitted to an academic tertiary care hospital. Participants completed a pre-intervention survey prior to the provision of TEMPO, and a post-intervention survey approximately 24 hours after exposure to the intervention. Pre-survey questions included SDM demographics and an 8-question knowledge survey. Post-intervention surveys included the same knowledge questions, the Ottawa Acceptability of Decision Aid tool, and questions to measure if SDMs shared TEMPO with others. This study was approved by the Colorado Multiple Institutional Review Board and registered at Clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03908346). Results: Twenty SDMs were enrolled between 9/1/2020 and 6/7/2021. One subject did not complete the post-intervention survey therefore 19 subject responses were analyzed for the purpose of this report. Participants were 85.0% Female, 47.4 +/- 14.8 years, and 45.0% were the spouse of the patient. In the 8-question knowledge survey, results improved from 57.2% correct to 90.8% correct after exposure to TEMPO (p<0.001). Using the Ottawa Acceptability Tool, 89.5% of participants stated TEMPO was useful in decision-making and 94.7% reported that TEMPO made their decision “easier”. Most (79.0%) participants reported they shared the DA with another family/friend in-person, while some (52.6%) reported they shared content with another person by telephone. Conclusion: Initial pilot data on the efficacy of the Tool to EMPOwer Surrogate Decision Makers of comatose survivors of cardiac arrest shows significant promise in improving knowledge and supporting decision-making.

Abstract Introduction: Nutrition literacy is important because it creates motivation and knowledge among public to have accountability towards their nutrition behaviors. Three types of nutrition literacy including functional literacy (FNL), Interactive literacy (INL) and critical literacy were not studied before in Palestinian society.Aims: The aims of the study were to 1) describe three forms of nutrition literacy: FNL, INL and CrL in the Palestinian society 2) To study the relationship between different forms of nutrition literacy and food behavior and nutrition seeking information habit.Methods: A sample of 149 Palestinian participants were recruited to participate in the study. Using an online survey which was distributed through educational and social internet platforms was used to collect data on sociodemographic variable. A translated questionnaire was used to collect information on nutrition literacy and Short Format of the Diet Health and Knowledge Survey (SFDHKS) was used to collect information on diet behavior and USDA food security questionnaire was used to collect data on food security. Data was analyzed by SPSS 21.Results: This study consisted of young adults (20.4± 4.9 y) who are mainly females (78%). Most of our study sample had Bachelors degree or currently enrolled in university to obtain this degree. The mean of FNL was 2.8±0.5, INL 3.3± 0.5, CrL 3.6± 0.5. There was significant correlation between CrL and INL (p< 0.05). There was also significant correlation between various forms of nutrition literacy and some aspects of diet behavior and food label use.Conclusion: Palestinian society is willing to learn about and understand nutrition information and this related to diet behavior

Objective: The primary aim of this study explored holistic nurses’ self-perceived genomic knowledge, perceptions, attitude and comfort of genomics. A second aim compared results to previous findings of nurse educators and advanced degree practicing registered nurses’ genomic knowledge utilizing the same survey instruments.Methods: Design: Recruitment of participants, through the American Holistic Nurses Association (AHNA), was achieved via an anonymous Survey Monkey link of the Genetic and Genomic Literacy Assessment (GGLA) survey. The GGLA survey comprised three aspects: Self-Perceived Genomic Knowledge Survey; Perceptions and Attitudes about Genomics Integration into Nursing Practice Survey and the Comfort Level of Genomics Survey. Method: The GGLA survey link was made available via the AHNA newsletter.Results: Holistic nurses (n = 41) self-perceived genomic knowledge level demonstrated a knowledge base gap in their comprehension and ability to explain genomic concepts to their patients. Majority of holistic nurses were significantly not comfortable with their genomic knowledge (90% or greater). Comparison with nurse educators (n = 53) and advanced degree practicing registered nurses’ (n = 36) genomic knowledge provided additional insight.Conclusions: A significant majority of nurses are unprepared to adopt genomics into their practice whilst experiencing a lack comfort and confidence. The global success of nursing practice resides with its’ practitioners being fully informed and competent with all required competencies, especially if nursing is to remain prevalent within personalized healthcare.

The COVID-19 pandemic is a contagious disease that must be watched out for because it causes high mortality rates in several countries around the world. Public knowledge, especially traders, about COVID-19 is important as an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19, which is increasingly widespread so that people are able to adopt a clean and healthy lifestyle in their daily life. The aim of the research is to conduct a survey of public knowledge about COVID-19 with three indicators, namely knowledge of the disease COVID-19, knowledge of prevention of COVID-19, and knowledge of how to spread COVID-19 so that they can obtain an overview of public knowledge related to COVID-19. This type of research is a qualitative descriptive study with cross sectional design in the community of traders in the Ganesha housing market, Semarang City. The number of samples was 33 people who were determined by total sampling technique. In this study, a questionnaire was used as a data collection tool, with data analyzed descriptively (univariate analysis) presented in the form of a frequency table. The results showed that in general the respondents' knowledge about COVID-19 was in the good category, namely 82%. The results of the knowledge survey from the three indicators were 82% knowledge of the COVID-19 disease followed by the category of how to prevent COVI-19 by 79% and the mode of transmission of COVID-19 which was 70%. It is hoped that there is still a need for continuous education to the community so that people's knowledge can be actualized in the attitudes and behavior of the local community, and as an effort to prevent COVID-19, the application of clean and healthy living habits (PHBS) in the community must be done by getting used to using hands with soap. or hand sanitizer after each activity, and implementing health protocols.

College students, including athletes, have limited exposure to financial education prior to enrolling in college (Britt et al., 2015). Athletes juggling two full-time roles as athlete and college student have limited time for financial education and the opportunity to work. Some athletes receive athletic scholarships and some do not, but either way, many athletes must seek additional funding and student loans to pay for college. Huston’s (2010) model demonstrated connections between financial literacy, behaviors, and education to serve as a framework for our study. The purpose of this study was to determine college athletes’ subjective and objective financial literacy, how they applied this knowledge, and their preferred mode(s) of financial education to pilot financial literacy education geared specifically for athletes based on their preferences. Data was collected from two institutions in the same Power 5 conference: monthly spending logs, focus groups, interviews, a financial knowledge survey, and pre- and post-tests flanking a financial literacy module in first-year experience courses and summer bridge. A Money 101 course was piloted over eight weeks, and peer financial counseling was offered. As athletes might gain access to their name, image, and likeness (NIL) for potential income in the near future, financial education is paramount.

Abstract. This contribution illustrates the results of research that aims to connect the workflow for knowledge – survey, interpretation, modeling – to the transmission of this knowledge and enhancement of Cultural Heritage by physical models, demonstrating its potential in a “Design for All” perspective. Palazzo Mazzonis, the current seat of the MAO (Museo d’Arte Orientale), is one of the many buildings in the historic city center of Turin characterized by a particular complex vaulted atrium: it has been investigated through TLS survey tools for the production of two-dimensional drawings (for the detailed representation of architectural features) and three-dimensional models (for the interpretation of the design idea through geometry). The last phase of work aims to translate the interpretative digital models into tactile models for Cultural Heritage transmission, through processes of digital fabrication, with obvious impacts on the visit path inside the museum, also with didactic purposes.
