They are based on scientific models of the average concentration of air pollution in a given area, compared to the number of deaths in a single year.
First, the impact of the visualizations, based on scientific environmental modeling and presented in three different presentation formats, verbal/visual presentation, posters and a virtual globe, was evaluated with regard to immediate impacts during the process.
The independent variables to include in the initial models were chosen based on scientific plausibility and for the models with anthropometric measures as the dependent variable these were: age, SES, fat mass (for the waist model only), sitting time, total MVPA, work MVPA, leisure MVPA and walking for travel.
But it is not one based on scientific grounds.
Analytic methods encompass the concepts and techniques used in analyzing data and interpreting and reporting results, to improve estimation, hypothesis testing, and causal modeling based on scientific data.
A topic list, based on scientific literature and Fisher Owens' theoretical model of children's oral health determinants [ 7], was used to guide the interviews.
Seven therapies, provided by six types of providers, were chosen for inclusion in this integrative model, based on scientific evidence and what is considered typical for conservative non-operative care in the U.S. Acupuncture has been shown in a Cochrane review to be more effective for pain relief than no treatment or sham, and more effective for improving function in the short-term[ 24].
Such models are based on scientific disciplines such as fluid dynamics, thermodynamics as well as physical processes such as radiative transfer.
Individuals modeled their behaviors based on scientific information, media, culture, personal preferences, popular advice, and competing ideals about health and well-being.
Implicit within the model is that milestone go/no-go decisions are rendered based on scientific merit that takes into account compound druggability and physicochemical properties.
