ASSIST: Refinement of a Benefits Navigator Intervention Among Low‐Income Pediatric Oncology Families

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Children with cancer living in poverty experience worse survival and quality of life. Interventions connecting low‐income families to benefits (e.g., Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program [SNAP] improve health outcomes; yet nearly 50% of SNAP‐eligible pediatric oncology families are unenrolled.

Educational measures to computer science concepts: Degree of process-related coverage and degree of educational accessibility [PDF]

International Journal of Research Studies in Computing, 2016
This article presents two measures to assess computer science content concepts from an educational point of view. The two measures are the degree of process-related coverage and the degree of educational accessibility. While the degree of process-related coverage determines the significance of process concepts for content concepts, the degree of ...
