We find that material rewards and increased efficacy, interventions focused on altering the costs and benefits of giving, have at best mixed success.
However, initial efficacy studies focused on intensive, highly structured exercise programs that may not be applicable to the general population of smokers.
These findings bolster the growing body of research confirming the efficacy of focused deterrence approaches to reducing gun violence, and suggest the need for further research on similar initiatives across the varying contexts in which they are implemented.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the safety and efficacy of focused ultrasound surgery with magnetic resonance imaging guidance for the noninvasive treatment of uterine leiomyomas.
