    Abstract The aspiration of lifestyle medicine practitioners is a healthy population engaged daily in lifestyle behaviors that generate the vitality needed to live a good life. That said, we are aware that there is a high population prevalence of low readiness to change behavior. This article proposes that we can improve readiness to change by shifting our expert mindsets to coaching mindsets. We focus first on helping others mobilize resources that improve readiness to change, including motivation and confidence-rather than beginning with expert education and training on new skills and behaviors. We call this coaching activity tilling the (patient's) ground, which then germinates an interest in a mindset shift from an unresolved state (

    Abstract Context: Acute sore throat is a common presentation in primary care and often results in antibiotic prescription. The Covid pandemic has driven changes in consultation with less face to face visits. Scoring tools are available to target antibiotics and widely used in the UK but it is not clear whether patient self assessment is feasible and sufficiently precise to enable remote use of scoring tools. Objective: A feasibility study to develop and test remote assessment of acute sore throat. Design: Observational study Setting: UK primary care Population: Adults and children with sore throat were asked to use the online tool and report their clinical findings directly Intervention: An online tool was developed that could help patients or parents of children with sore throat assess the clinical features that make up clinical prediction rules and to take a photograph of the throat Results: 221 patients with sore throat were screened and 45 (33 adults and 12 children) were recruited. 44/45 (97.8%) participants were able to complete all elements of the clinical assessment. It was possible to calculate a FeverPAIN score for 25 (75.8%) adults and 10 (83.3%) children. 35 participants (25 (75.8%) adults and 10 (83.3%) children) provided a throat photograph but many of these were not of sufficient quality to enable assessment of throat pus and inflammation. Poor lighting and focus were the main problems. Photos that were of sufficient quality were available from 13 (39.4%) adults and 5 (41.7%) children. Three GPs independently assessed these photographs to assess for inflammation and pus. Using the clinician assessment as the reference standard, self/parent/carer assessment of inflammation had a sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 46.7%, positive predictive value (PPV) of 27.3% and negative predictive value (NPV) of 100%. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV for pus were 76.5%, 100%, 71.4%, 42.9% and 100%. Conclusions: Self assessment of sore throat was possible. Photographs were of sufficient quality for clinical assessment less than half the time. Patients/parents/carers are very good at ruling out pus and inflammation, but have a tendency to overcall these findings, especially inflammation. Further implications for self assessment and future work will be described.

    Abstract Objective: The present study aims to assess the effectiveness of the Drug Evaluation and Classification (DEC) program in Florida.
    Methods: Data from 236 completed DEC evaluations of central nervous system (CNS) depressants, CNS stimulants, narcotic analgesics, and cannabis were analyzed using a classification process comprising toxicology findings and corresponding Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) opinions. A series of standard measures (sensitivity, specificity, false-alarm rate, miss rate, corroboration, and accuracy) were calculated to assess the effectiveness of the DEC program.
    Results: DREs provided 172 correct opinions and 23 missed opinions, resulting in an accuracy rate of 88%, sensitivity rate of 97%, specificity rate of 23%, false alarm rate of 77%, miss rate of 3%, and corroboration rate of 91%. The 12-step DRE protocol of the DEC program therefore has the desired effect of DREs formulating correct opinions. The specificity and false alarm rate were influenced by the restricted testing procedures in the state of Florida. In general, law enforcement officers certified in the DEC program with specialized training can identify drugged drivers and the correct drug category of the drug causing impairment at the time of operating a vehicle. The DEC program goals are met through rigorous training and a curriculum establishing the 12-step DRE protocol.
    Conclusions: DRE drug classification opinions identify drugged drivers. The limitations of Florida's biological sample testing procedures have an impact on the specificity of DRE opinions. Addressing these limitations could increase the confirmation rates of the presence of drugs in the individual's biological samples, which would directly impact the conviction rates in DUI-related criminal cases. Further Florida's testing procedures need to be further studied and updated to improve the DEC program in Florida.

  9. Article: Tax obsessions: Taxpayer registration and the "informal sector" in sub-Saharan Africa.

    Abstract Motivation: There are three puzzling features of sub-Saharan African tax systems: tax administrations maintain records on vast numbers of small enterprises that actually provide no revenue; they continually invest resources into registering even more of these "unproductive taxpayers"; and discussions about taxing small enterprises are framed by the ambiguous, misleading concept of the "informal sector."
    Purpose: To make sense of these separate puzzling practices and narratives by exploring the synergies between them, and the broader organizational and political interests that they serve.
    Methods and approach: There is little statistical or sociological information on the functioning of national tax administrations in sub-Saharan Africa. The analysis is based on the results of recent research; along with a thorough search for useful data; my own extensive interactions with African tax administrators and relevant international organizations; and a sensitivity to the political dimensions of taxation.
    Findings: The three features of tax systems that are individually puzzling make sense when examined holistically. The continual drive to register more taxpayers provides an unduly favourable impression of the extent of policy and managerial efforts to collect more revenue. The informal sector narrative locates the apparent cause of revenue scarcity in the alleged undertaxation of small enterprises and poorer people, and thus helps divert attention from failures adequately to tax more privileged Africans and larger enterprises.
    Policy implications: Be very wary of claims that it would be a good idea to invest resources in registering large numbers of new taxpayers in sub-Saharan Africa. Try to avoid using the term "informal sector" when discussing issues of tax policy and administration-it is confusing and diversionary.
