Population, Xxxxxx, and Research Design Sample Clauses

Population, Xxxxxx, and Research Design. Four out of ten total geographical departments were included in this study, Ouest (west), Sud (south), Nord-Est (north-east), and Artibonite (geographically, north). The Ouest department includes the capital Port-au-Prince, and had a population of around 3.6 million individuals in 2009 [41]. Catchment areas were randomly selected using a random number generation method in rural, semi-urban, and urban areas within the country. Because only 8 sites were selected, some departments are not represented in this sample. GPS coordinates were used to tag specific sites selected for data collection. Eight sites were selected for data collection. The first data collection period occurred in the two semi-urban catchment areas of Xxxxxx and Sannet as well as the rural area of Croix-des- Bouquets within the Ouest Department. It lasted from June 4 to July 18 of 2014 and was conducted in conjunction with Christian Veterinary Mission (CVM). Additional data was collected during October 2014 at 2 other urban sites in the Ouest Department, Carrefour and Port-au-Prince, and 1 rural site in the Sud Department, Xxxxxxx. Data collection also occurred in December 2014 at 2 additional sites, semi-urban Ouanaminte and urban St. Marc, in the Departments of Nord-Est (north-east) and Artibonite (geographically, north), respectively. A total of 1448 surveys were collected. Our sampling frame consisted of all dog owners within randomly selected catchment areas in Haiti. We selected dog owners as the sampling unit in order to best capture the needs, beliefs and practices of the primary caregivers for owned animals. It was also important to understand dog ownership characteristics in Haiti, such as the number of dogs per household and care that owners provide to community animals. Additionally, this population was logistically ideal because sampling could occur simultaneously with animal vaccination, thus facilitating participation from animal owners while promoting responsible animal ownership habits. This population is particularly useful to study because future program activities such as mass vaccination and education will likely be most successful with individuals who engaged in our vaccination campaign. Understanding their beliefs and practices will facilitate the development of successful program strategies.

  • Research Use The Requester agrees that if access is approved, (1) the PI named in the DAR and (2) those named in the “Senior/Key Person Profile” section of the DAR, including the Information Technology Director and any trainee, employee, or contractor1 working on the proposed research project under the direct oversight of these individuals, shall become Approved Users of the requested dataset(s). Research use will occur solely in connection with the approved research project described in the DAR, which includes a 1-2 paragraph description of the proposed research (i.e., a Research Use Statement). Investigators interested in using Cloud Computing for data storage and analysis must request permission to use Cloud Computing in the DAR and identify the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) or providers and/or Private Cloud System (PCS) that they propose to use. They must also submit a Cloud Computing Use Statement as part of the DAR that describes the type of service and how it will be used to carry out the proposed research as described in the Research Use Statement. If the Approved Users plan to collaborate with investigators outside the Requester, the investigators at each external site must submit an independent DAR using the same project title and Research Use Statement, and if using the cloud, Cloud Computing Use Statement. New uses of these data outside those described in the DAR will require submission of a new DAR; modifications to the research project will require submission of an amendment to this application (e.g., adding or deleting Requester Collaborators from the Requester, adding datasets to an approved project). Access to the requested dataset(s) is granted for a period of one (1) year, with the option to renew access or close-out a project at the end of that year. Submitting Investigator(s), or their collaborators, who provided the data or samples used to generate controlled-access datasets subject to the NIH GDS Policy and who have Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval and who meet any other study specific terms of access, are exempt from the limitation on the scope of the research use as defined in the DAR.
