Article Abstract
Public participation in precision medicine (PM) research is essential to achieving effective health care but has been impeded by a lack of awareness and basic knowledge. There is a critical need for educational materials that can clearly explain PM to foster involvement. This randomized controlled trial with a posttest-only control group design aims to assess the effects of educational messages delivered through animations relative to live-action videos and leaflets on intentions of involvement in PM research. Knowledge as the moderator and four mediators (engagement, vividness, trustworthiness, and cognitive value) of the intended effects were also evaluated. A total of 326 U.S. adults were sampled from Amazon Mechanical Turk. Among participants with less knowledge about PM, animations produced stronger information-seeking intentions and willingness to participate than leaflets. The effects of three message modalities were not significantly different among average and highly knowledgeable participants. Engagement and vividness mediated the effects of animations relative to two other message modalities. Trustworthiness and cognitive value mediated the effects of animations relative to live-action videos. Overall, animations can be an effective communication strategy to motivate involvement in PM but its effectiveness could decline as knowledge increases. The explanations and implications of the findings were discussed.

Medical Education Division, Weill Cornell Medicine - Qatar, Doha, Qatar.
Purpose: Neuroanatomy is a cornerstone of medical education, yet its complexity often leads to student apprehension, termed "neurophobia." This quantitative study evaluated the effectiveness of online Functional Neuroanatomy modules in enhancing second-year medical students' understanding of neuroanatomy at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar during the 2024-25 academic year.
Participants And Methods: Four functional neuroanatomy modules were developed: Brainstem Anatomy, Sensory Pathway, Motor Pathway, and Cranial Nerves.
Start learning coding without computers? A case study on children's unplugged gamified coding education tool with explanatory sequential mixed method.

Instruction in coding for children has emerged as a significant means of fostering computational thinking, with gamification serving a crucial reinforcing function in this educational process. This experimental study integrates four principal gamification elements-role-playing, rewards, challenges, and cooperation-into unplugged children's coding education tools to examine their impacts on children's flow experience and learning engagement. Under the theoretical framework of Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R), researchers developed an unplugged coding education prototype named "Coding Adventure," employing an explanatory sequential mixed-methods approach with 295 Chinese elementary students (aged 8-10 years).

Adolescents face heightened vulnerability to reproductive health risks, including premarital sex, HIV, and substance abuse. This quasi-experimental study assessed the effectiveness of an animated video intervention in improving adolescent knowledge of these threats. Using an equivalent time-series design, 75 adolescents from Bojongloa Kidul District, Bandung, Indonesia, viewed an 8-minute animated video on premarital sex, HIV, and drug use for three consecutive days (April-June 2024).

Background: Nursing research courses can be challenging due to the complex terminology, causing some undergraduates to be overwhelmed and have low motivation to engage in the course content. Theory-based animated instructional materials can enhance students' interest and learning outcomes, potentially becoming an effective teaching strategy for nursing research courses.
Aims: To develop animated instructional materials based on the cognitive theory of multimedia learning and four-component instructional design model, integrate collaborative learning strategies, and evaluate students' cognitive load and learning experiences.
Object-directed behaviors and human-directed sociability are linked in free-ranging dog puppies.

Most behavioral studies in dogs have investigated sociability and exploration of novelty as separate traits, often using different test settings and behavioral measures. However, this approach does not allow to assess whether these traits may instead reflect a shared underlying mechanism, such as a general tendency to approach novel stimuli, regardless of their social nature. In this study, we exposed pre-weaned free-ranging dog puppies to an unfamiliar human and a novel object.
