Cress and Snow's (2000) study on social movement organizations in the USA that focus on homelessness reveals the importance of frames: among the six causal paths to achieved outcomes, three paths simultaneously contain diagnostic and prognostic frames, while two paths contain prognostic frames.
Path model coefficients can be interpreted as linear regression coefficients for the paths to continuous outcomes (i.e. BSID-M scores and birthweight).
5 The first phase of this Treat to Target (T2T) initiative focused on defining therapeutic targets and establishing paths to optimal outcomes.
Perceived control (β =.272, p <.001), job demands (β = −.238, p <.001), and social support (β =.250, p <.001) from supervisor also had significant paths to negative outcomes.
Model coefficients of the paths to binary outcomes (e.g. postpartum CMD) are odds ratios which were derived from original probit regression coefficients for more straightforward interpretation [ 53].
As we are unlikely to know in advance the best course of conservation action, a risk-management approach is appropriate for making initial decisions (sensu Frankham et al. 2011; Weeks et al. 2011), with subsequent actions subject to an adaptive management framework (i.e. choose the apparent best path, monitor the outcomes, then adjust the path according to outcomes) (Hansen et al. 2012).
"I think the reforms outlined by the government of India offer very promising paths to improving growth outcomes for the Indian economy," Mr. Geithner said.
Successful scale-up occurs within a complex adaptive system, characterised by interdependent parts, multiple feedback loops and several potential paths to achieve intended outcomes.
Our findings suggest that successful scale-up occurs within a complex adaptive system, characterised by interdependent parts, multiple feedback loops and several potential paths to achieve intended outcomes.
Having Shakespeare and biology under your belt are both important, but applying critical thinking skills to any content is the most effective path to desired outcomes and an enlightened citizenship.
I fund entrepreneurs I believe will travel the 10-year-plus path to outsize outcomes.
