We report on the effectiveness of requiring a research module in a large introductory class. The module is designed to teach both basic research skills and to increase awareness of race and gender inequality. We find that a majority of students are able to interpret basic percentage tables with a minimum of instruction. Under the condition that students are willing to acknowledge inequality in our occupational system, completing the research assignment increases their awareness of race and gender inequality. We argue that one of sociology's most powerful contributions to quantitative literacy is that our core content provides a challenging and relevant context in which to learn quantitative skills. }, number={1}, journal={TEACHING SOCIOLOGY}, author={Atkinson, MP and Czaja, RF and Brewster, ZB}, year={2006}, month={Jan}, pages={54–64} } @article{tomaskovic-devey_wright_czaja_miller_2006, title={Self-reports of police speeding stops by race: Results from the North Carolina reverse record check survey}, volume={22}, ISSN={["1573-7799"]}, DOI={10.1007/s10940-006-9012-0}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF QUANTITATIVE CRIMINOLOGY}, author={Tomaskovic-Devey, Donald and Wright, Cynthia Pfaff and Czaja, Ronald and Miller, Kirk}, year={2006}, month={Dec}, pages={279–297} } @book{czaja_blair_2005, title={Designing surveys: A guide to decisions and procedures}, ISBN={076192745X}, publisher={Thousand Oaks, Calif.: Pine Forge Press}, author={Czaja, R. and Blair, J.}, year={2005} } @article{czaja_manfredi_price_2003, title={The determinants and consequences of information seeking among cancer patients}, volume={8}, DOI={10.1080/10810730390250470}, number={6}, journal={Journal of Health Communication}, author={Czaja, R. and Manfredi, C. and Price, J.}, year={2003}, pages={529–562} } @article{czaja_2000, title={Cognition and survey research}, volume={29}, ISSN={["0094-3061"]}, DOI={10.2307/2655276}, number={5}, journal={CONTEMPORARY SOCIOLOGY-A JOURNAL OF REVIEWS}, author={Czaja, R}, year={2000}, month={Sep}, pages={760–762} } @article{manfredi_czaja_freels_trubitt_warnecke_lacey_1998, title={Prescribe for health - Improving cancer screening in physician practices sewing low-income and minority populations}, volume={7}, ISSN={["1063-3987"]}, DOI={10.1001/archfami.7.4.329}, abstractNote={To evaluate a health maintenance organization (HMO)-sponsored intervention to improve cancer screening in private physician practices serving low-income, minority populations.A randomized controlled trial with preintervention and postintervention measurements. Measurements were obtained by abstracting information from independent random samples of medical charts (N = 2316 at preintervention and 2238 at postintervention).Forty-seven primary care physician practices located in low-income and minority urban neighborhoods in Chicago, Ill.Practices were encouraged to adopt an office chart reminder system and to use a patient health maintenance card. Activities to facilitate the adoption of these items and for compliance with cancer screening guidelines included on-site training and start-up assistance visits, a physician continuing medical education seminar, and quality assurance visits with feedback to physicians.The proportions of patients with a chart-documented mammogram, clinical breast examination, Papanicolaou smear, or fecal occult blood slide test in the 2 years before preintervention and postintervention chart abstractions.Between baseline and postintervention, there was a net increase in the proportion of HMO members in the intervention, compared with the control practices, who received in the preceding 2 years a Papanicolaou smear (11.9%) and a fecal occult blood slide test (14.1%).
