Over a three-year period, 240 allegations of abuse or neglect were filed on behalf of youths at Teens' homes, a Times analysis of child abuse hotline data found.
Furthermore, because hotline data were not always collected systematically, determining if all callers at high risk for SARS were identified was difficult.
The hotline data collection forms did not include anatomic site of temperature measurement, therefore, for our evaluation, fever was defined as a recorded body temperature of ≥38°C (See Appendix).
Developed as an emergent response to the SARS outbreak in Taiwan, these interventions were rapidly implemented, leaving little time available to develop hotline data-collection instruments, train hotline staff, or prospectively plan for intervention evaluation.
Washington also needs to urge the two militaries to start talking, and urge the two governments to begin exploring ways to lessen the danger of an accidental nuclear war — with more effective hotlines and data exchanges — with a long-term goal of arms-control negotiations.
First, data from the hotline software (such as demographic data and tips and reminders enrollment status) were entered by hotline workers during calls with clients, and mistakes were common.
Addresses of where dead birds were found were automatically geocoded in real time by using the Yahoo Maps application programming interface (Yahoo! Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, USA), which allowed hotline staff to validate location data while callers remained on the line; birds not automatically geocoded were omitted from DYCAST analysis.
Create an information hotline.
Hotline staff screened and entered these data into an Access database (Microsoft Corporation, Redlands, WA, USA); data were subsequently geocoded by using ArcMap version 9.1 and associated 2005 StreetMap USA Plus AltNames street dataset (Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc., Redlands, CA, USA).
We analyzed data from three sources: hotline call data reported to the Bureau of National Health Insurance for all of Taiwan; hotline call data for Taipei; and data from a telephone survey of Taipei residents.
As I've been discussing in my Market Monitor and my weekly Hotlines, the economic and earnings data has been supporting the case for stabilization and perhaps even growth before year-end, with resurgent global growth being the most probable outcome over the long term (next 18 months for the foreseeable future).
