What drives the Acceptability of Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA)? Modeling acceptability of ISA Universiteit Gent

Sven Vlassenroot, Eric Moulin, Dimokritos Kavadias, Vincent Marcheau, Karel Brookhuis, Johan De Mol, Georges Allaert
6370 individuals responded in Belgium (Flanders region) and 1158 persons in The Netherlands on a web-survey about ISA. A model has been estimated, by using SEM, to find out which predefined indicators would be relevant to define the acceptability of ISA. Background factors, contextual issues, and ISA-device related factors were used as indicators to predict the level of acceptability. The factors that were used in the model were based on the ...

Methodology/principal findings : We embedded a qualitative study using in-depth ...

Designs for studying the effectiveness of long-term psychoanalytic treatments: Balancing level of evidence and patients’ acceptability KU Leuven

F De Jonghe, S de Maat, J Barber, A Abbass, Patrick Luyten, R Verheul
Long-Term Psychoanalytic Treatments (LTPT) include both long-term psychoanalytic psychotherapy (LTPP) and psychoanalysis (PsAn). Current opinion seems to be that there is some evidence for the effectiveness of LTPP, but none for that of PsAn. This may be due in part to researchers not balancing the level of evidence of randomized controlled studies (RCTs), cohort studies, and pre-post studies with patients' acceptance of these various research ...

What drives the acceptability of Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA)? Universiteit Antwerpen Universiteit Gent Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Sven Vlassenroot, Eric Molin, Vincent Marchau, Karel Brookhuis, Frank Witlox
To have knowledge about the acceptability of Intelligent Transport systems (ITS) is most beneficial for the development of supported implementation strategies. So far, different theories and methods, also stemming from other domains, have been used to define and conceptualize the notion of acceptability. In a previous paper, we developed a theoretical concept to define acceptability of ISA based on different theories and methods used in ITS ...

A scale measuring ethical acceptability of Robot Enhanced Therapy for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Ramona Simut Vanderborght, Bram Vanderborght
A survey measuring the ethical acceptability of social robots in robot enhanced therapy (RET) for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was developed. Three components of ethical acceptability were revealed: for use, for human-like interaction and for non-human appearance. The results indicate a high level of ethical acceptability on all the three factors. Men had a higher level of ethical acceptability of social robots on all the three ...

‘No taxation without hypothecation’: towards an improved understanding of the acceptability of an environmental tax reform KU Leuven Universiteit Gent

Kris Bachus, Luc Van Ootegem, Elsy Verhofstadt
Although it is widely acknowledged that taxation is a powerful instrument for combating environmental problems, environmental taxation is still underused. Public acceptability of regulatory taxes appears to be low, to the extent that a trade-off between the acceptability and the efficiency of policy instruments can be observed. This paper examines the determinants and conditions for public support and willingness to pay for environmental ...

Understanding the acceptability and adherence to paediatric antiretroviral treatment in the new formulation of pellets (LPV/r) Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

Ariadna Nebot Giralt, Christiana Nöstlinger, Janice Lee, Olawale Salami, Marc Lallemant, Onyango Ouma, Isaac Nyamongo, Bruno Marchal

BACKGROUND: Improving access to paediatric HIV treatment requires both large-scale treatment programmes and medication that is adapted to infants and children's needs. The WHO recommends lopinavir/ritonavir as first-line antiretroviral therapy for all HIV-infected children younger than 3 years. There is currently little evidence on the acceptability of, and adherence to, a formulation of this combination treatment if given in the form of ...

Acceptability of HIV self-testing Universiteit Antwerpen Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

Janne Krause, Friederike Subklew-Sehume, Chris Kenyon, Robert Colebunders
Background: The uptake of HIV testing and counselling services remains low in risk groups around the world. Fear of stigmatisation, discrimination and breach of confidentiality results in low service usage among risk groups. HIV self-testing (HST) is a confidential HIV testing option that enables people to find out their status in the privacy of their homes. We evaluated the acceptability of HST and the benefits and challenges linked to the ...

Public support of intelligent speed assistance: which factors will determine the acceptability? Universiteit Gent

Sven Vlassenroot, Eric Molin, Vincent Marchau, Karel Brookhuis, Frank Witlox
To have knowledge about the acceptability of Intelligent Transport systems (ITS) is most beneficial for the development of supported implementation strategies. So far, different theories and methods, also stemming from other domains, have been used to define and conceptualize the notion of acceptability. Previously we developed a theoretical concept to define acceptability of ISA based on different theories and methods used in ITS & ISA ...

A Smartphone App to promote an active lifestyle in lower-educated working young adults: development, usability, acceptability, and feasibility study Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Peter Clarys, Benedicte Deforche

Background: Physical activity (PA) levels are problematic in lower-educated working young adults (18-26 years). To promote PA, smartphone apps have great potential, but there is no evidence for their effectiveness in this population. To increase the likelihood that a newly developed app will be effective, formative research and user testing are required. Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the development, usability, ...
