The exposome, a concept introduced in 2005, reflects the totality of chemical and nonchemical exposures that an individual accumulates over a lifetime, beginning during prenatal development. Whereas traditional biomonitoring targets specific analytes to measure in a sample, exposomic approaches include quantifying hundreds or thousands of analytes simultaneously in what is known as untargeted a...

Hearns, klein and colleagues set out to develop a maternity care decision-making tool for the British Columbia Northern Health Authority to assist with assessing community needs and values. They are to be commended for thinking outside the traditional decision-making approach which focuses, as they say, on “administration, fiscal and safety issues. solutions often follow previously made decisio...

Ever since the Harvard psychologist S. S. Stevens (1946) advanced his ideas concerning the connections between measurement scales and statistical analysis, there has been a continuing controversy regarding the use of traditional descriptive and inferential statistics for ordinal-level variables. The exchange in Nursing Research between Armstrong and this writer (Armstrong, 1981; Knapp, 1984, Ar...
