Call for New Product Submissions
Over the past three decades, Sociometrics has worked with hundreds of researchers, scientists, product developers, and program evaluators to assemble the Sociometrics Social, Behavioral, and Health Sciences Library. The Sociometrics Library is an online collection of exemplary social health data and related products. The Sociometrics Library was developed with the guidance of multidisciplinary expert panels of scientists and program designers. Products in the Library fall into three categories:
-
Evidence Based Programs (Interventions and Courses) that have been validated in the published scientific research literature as effective in promoting healthy behaviors and/or preventing behaviors that put an individual at risk of negative health outcomes.
-
Capacity-Building Tools to facilitate the incorporation of the latest behavioral and social science theories and findings in health professionals' daily work lives.
-
Datasets that support primary and secondary analyses by researchers, faculty, and students. Most of the datasets in the Library are not available anywhere else. Analyzing exemplary real-world data adds unique value to teaching and research in many fields, such as statistics, the social sciences, public health, social work, nursing, and medicine.
The Sociometrics Library could not exist without the generous cooperation of scientists and program developers like you. We invite you to contribute to the collection. Please complete the Product Submission Form. We will review all submissions using the same time-tested criteria we have used over the past three decades: scientific merit, substantive utility, and program and policy relevance. Illustrative Inclusion Criteria for datasets and prevention programs in the fields of teen pregnancy, STI, and HIV prevention are provided.
The Sociometrics Library is growing and expanding. We welcome your evidence-based programs, datasets, and training tools from any health field where social factors and individual behaviors are known to promote health and prevent disease and disability. Examples of relevant topic areas include substance use and abuse, cancer, diabetes, and hypertension.
