Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract: In reaction to an unexplained 25% drop in prenatal class attendance, the Regina Health District (RHD) set out to determine the proportion of women not attending, where these women live, and the reasons for not participating. The study included a cross-sectional survey of 1157 new mothers and the use of MapInfo software. The results showed that many of those who attend RHD programs live in low-income areas, a targeted population. Yet there was evidence of a significant group of mothers in these same areas who were still not attending. Strategies for better serving first-time mothers were created by examining characteristics of the clusters of non-attenders and potential barriers, such as time of day and ease of geographic access. Methods for promoting the prenatal classes were also updated based on survey feedback.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
