"Unter der Fragestellung 'Wer nicht vertraut, der protestiert?' stellen die Autoren Ergebnisse einer interkulturellen Studie bei deutschen, griechischen und kolumbianischen Studierenden vor. Hier wird evident, dass 'sich in allen Ländern keine grundlegend verschiedenen Zusammenhangmuster zwischen den Vertrauensmaßen und den politischen Partizipationsbereitschaften ergeben'. Also: Die Bereitschaft zu illegalem Protest ist auch in Staaten mit einem extrem niedrigen Vertrauensniveau (Kolumbien) nicht verstärkt ausgeprägt. Dieser Befund weist darauf hin, 'dass das politische Vertrauen nur eine Größe unter mehreren bei der Erklärung extremer Protestformen ist'." (Textauszug)

euCanSHare deliverable D4.1 reporting on the opal software integration to euCanSHare Executive Summary: In order to support the data harmonization process to be achieved within euCanSHare as well as proper documentation of the harmonized datasets generated, it is essential to implement a data and metadata documentation, processing and management system. The OBiBa software suite (Opal, Mica and Agate) and harmonization and cataloguing resources (harmonization guidelines and metadata standards) developed by Maelstrom Research are used as key elements of the EuCanSHare system. OBiBa software infrastructures are implemented in Spain, Finland, Germany and Canada to form the EuCanSHare harmonization platform. The platform will be pilot tested in 2019-2020 and, where required, the software will be customized to serve the evolving needs of EuCanSHare. The deliverable is a software and this report is the written description and presentation of the software and its implementation in different environments to support EuCanSHare activities. ; This deliverable has been produced in the context of the euCanSHare ("An EU-Canada joint infrastructure for next-generation multi-Study Heart research") Research and Innovation Action, funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 programme (grant agreement No 825903), the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Santé under the framework of Canada‐EU Commission Flagship Collaboration for Human data storage, integration and sharing.
Aim: Health literacy (HL) is a key outcome of health education. Low HL is associated with a higher risk of health-related impairments and high health-related costs. This article therefore describes the contents and evaluation of the school-based programme "Health literacy in school-aged children" (GeKoKidS) and its acceptance by teachers. A second focus of the study is the description of methods to increase the response of schools, students and parents as a crucial condition for the validity and generalizability of results from epidemiologic prevention studies. Subjects and methods: The evaluation of the prevention program GeKoKidS included 5th grade students aged 9–13 years in schools in the region of Greifswald and East Pomerania [longitudinal randomised control group pre-post design (RCT)]. Data collections took place within the extended school dentist examination visits at the beginning of the 2007/2008 school year and at the beginning of the second half term of the 2008/2009 school year. This included medical examinations and self-completion questionnaires of students, parents and teachers. The study was authorised by the data protection commissioner of Mecklenburg-West Pomerania, the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture of Mecklenburg-West Pomerania and the Ethics Commitee of the Ernst Moritz Arndt University Greifswald. Based on the authorisation of the data protection concept and concerns about selective response, parents were not granted a consent but rather a right to refuse participation. Results: In Greifswald/East Pomerania, 19 of 22 schools with 5th year classes participated in GeKoKidS (response rate: 86.3%). Out of 914 eligible students in the participating schools, 882 children (96.4%) took part in the school dentist examinations. A total of 863 children (94.4%) participated in the extended school dentist examination; 852 children (93.2%) took part in the student survey. In the parental survey 721 parents participated (response rate: 78.8%). A high level of acceptance referring to teacher training and the appropriateness of the GeKoKidS programme was achieved. Conclusion: As shown by the low rate of refusal, the programme and the evaluation study were well accepted. Possible reasons for these results could be the chosen procedure of establishing contact with schools before sending the questionnaires and the parent's right to refuse their child's participation instead of giving an active confirmation. Because of this high response rate, the database enables comprehensive conclusions to be reached on the health-related state of students in Greifswald/East Pomerania.
