ThinkNow Research - Hispanic Consumer Sentiment Study 2014ThinkNow
According to the ThinkNow Research Hispanic Omnibus survey*, U.S. Hispanics are optimistic about their future for the second year in a row, though a little less so this year than last. In early 2013, when asked about their own financial situation and how it would fare in the coming year, 51% of all respondents said they anticipated in would improve (vs. 2012). This year, however, the market research shows that optimism is off a little, with only 46% expecting an improvement. On the other hand, only 9% think it will be worse (same both years).
There are some interesting subsets (related to optimism for the coming year) in the 2014 data… younger Hispanics are more optimistic than older ones, consumer sentiment in the South is the most optimistic of the geographic regions and overall, the most optimistic group is the lowest-acculturated Hispanics, with 61% expecting 2014 to be a better year than 2013. Why is that?
Additionally, Hispanics are a more optimistic group than their non-Hispanic counterparts, where only 42% feel their personal financial situations will improve in 2014 and 13% believe it will get worse.

The document discusses strokes, also known as brain attacks, including defining strokes as inadequate blood flow to the brain, risk factors, types of strokes, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic studies, prevention, acute care, and rehabilitation care. Strokes are a leading cause of death and disability in the United States, with the most common type being ischemic strokes caused by blockages interrupting blood flow to the brain. Nursing management focuses on monitoring vital signs and neurological status, managing respiratory issues, skin integrity, swallowing difficulties, and providing supportive care.
Carotid Endarterectomy in Stroke Prevention UpdateDenise Crute
This document discusses carotid endarterectomy for stroke prevention. It provides background on strokes, defines different types of strokes, and outlines diagnostic techniques. The bulk of the document focuses on carotid endarterectomy, describing what it is, the history of the procedure, how it is performed, and results from major clinical trials demonstrating its effectiveness in reducing stroke risk compared to medical management alone for patients with significant carotid artery stenosis. The document emphasizes awareness of new techniques and treatments to prevent strokes.
The document provides guidelines for diagnosing and managing different types and severities of acute brain attacks or strokes. It discusses classifying strokes as TIA, mild, moderate or severe based on symptoms. For TIA and mild strokes, the guidelines recommend emergent diagnostic tests like CT scan and treating conditions like high blood pressure. For moderate strokes, the priorities are supportive care, monitoring vitals, diagnostics like blood tests and CT scan. The guidelines provide recommendations for diagnosing the type of stroke and identifying underlying causes through further diagnostic testing.
This document provides an overview of strokes, including:
- Strokes are caused by a blockage or rupture of an artery to the brain, cutting off oxygen flow.
- Symptoms include weakness, paralysis, difficulty speaking or swallowing.
- Diagnosis involves medical imaging, blood tests, and physical exams to determine the type and location of blockage or rupture.
- Treatment depends on the type of stroke but may include clot-busting drugs, surgery, medication, and lifestyle changes to prevent future strokes.

Stroke is the third leading cause of death in Malaysia. The document defines stroke, classifies its types, and outlines its diagnosis and management. Key points include that stroke is caused by blocked blood flow to the brain, and risk factors include age, gender, family history, hypertension, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, smoking, and high cholesterol. Diagnostic tests include CT/MRI scans and angiograms to determine the cause. Treatment focuses on rehabilitation, managing risk factors, and preventing future strokes.
Approach to a patient with stroke - Pathophysiology of strokeAshwin Haridas
1. Stroke is defined as a clinical syndrome of rapid onset of focal deficits of brain function lasting more than 24 hours or leading to death. There are two main types - ischemic and hemorrhagic.
2. Ischemic strokes account for 80% of cases and result from arterial occlusion blocking blood flow. Hemorrhagic strokes can be either intracerebral hemorrhage from ruptured small arteries damaged by hypertension, or subarachnoid hemorrhage from ruptured aneurysms.
3. The pathophysiology of ischemic stroke involves development of an ischemic core with immediate cell death surrounded by an ischemic penumbra of reversibly dysfunctional tissue that can potentially be salvaged by reperfusion
The document discusses various diseases of the heart and blood vessels. It describes the structure of the heart and how diseases can affect the heart's chambers, valves, arteries and muscle. Some of the most common heart diseases mentioned are coronary artery disease, heart attacks, heart failure, arrhythmias, and congenital heart defects. It also discusses various diseases that can affect the blood vessels, such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, aneurysms, and peripheral arterial disease. Finally, it provides an overview of several common heart scanning techniques used to diagnose heart conditions, such as echocardiograms, stress tests, angiograms, CT scans, MRI and PET scans.
Heart disease is the number one cause of death worldwide. It is caused by a buildup of fatty deposits called plaque in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart. This buildup is known as atherosclerosis and can lead to coronary artery disease. Risk factors include age, family history, high cholesterol, smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and physical inactivity. To prevent heart disease, one should eat a healthy diet low in fat and cholesterol, exercise regularly, maintain a healthy weight, not smoke, control blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and see a doctor to monitor risk factors. Making lifestyle changes can significantly reduce risk and help live a longer, healthier life.
A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted or reduced, causing brain cells to die. It is a medical emergency. There are two main types of strokes: ischemic, caused by a blockage in a blood vessel, and hemorrhagic, caused by a ruptured blood vessel. Symptoms vary depending on the affected area of the brain but can include paralysis, confusion, and headaches. Diagnostic tests including CT scans and MRI images are used to determine the type and location of the stroke. Treatment options depend on the type of stroke but may include clot-busting drugs or surgery to repair damaged blood vessels. Prevention is key through controlling risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, and smoking.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
Our nationwide survey found that nearly 50% of U.S. households have smart speakers. In this report brief, we discuss the following key findings:
1. Which brand of smart speaker is most popular

ThinkNow Diversity & Inclusion: Brands and Consumer Purchase Intent ReportThinkNow
America’s youth, the first multicultural majority generation in U.S. history, is growing rapidly, adding over 2.3 million consumers (about twice the population of New Hampshire) to the population each year, making them a significant force to be reckoned with. These "mini-millennials” challenge brands to address societal stereotypes, particularly around gender identity, and use their influence to support or disapprove of brands’ diversity and inclusion efforts.
In our first report on diversity and inclusion last year, we analyzed consumer reactions to companies' public declarations of support for social justice in 2020. In our latest wave of ThinkNow Diversity & Inclusion: Brands and Consumer Purchase Intent, we find differences in perceptions and expectations among key demographic groups compared to last year’s report.

Even with rising home prices over the past few years, many homeowners who have considered selling are deciding not to because they are caught in an affordability squeeze that is
compounded by a lack of inventory, according to findings from the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®’ (C.A.R.) “2015 Survey of California Homeowners.” More than one-third (35%) of homeowners have considered selling their home in the past year, and of that share, about two-thirds (64%) are reluctant to sell because they are finding they can’t afford the home they really want, the survey found.

Black Consumer Project Wave 1 - Identity + ValuesThinkNow
This document provides a summary of key findings from a survey of Black consumers in the United States. Some of the main findings include:
- There is no universally preferred label for Black identity, though "Black American" emerged as one of the top three preferred names.
- Black Americans are more likely than non-Blacks to believe that their race/heritage defines who they are.
- While family and faith are top values for all Americans, Black Americans more highly rank personal growth as a driving value.
- Around 57% of Black Americans believe in the American Dream, though rates vary by age, geography, and nativity.
- Black Americans define success more in terms of maintaining personal and financial health rather
We surveyed a nationally representative sample of LGBTQ+ Americans on their views of the current social climate, corporate support for LGBTQ+ causes, personal pronouns, and mental health care.
Our report findings highlight the persistent challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community and emphasize the role that acceptance, advocacy and allyship play in fostering their well-being and advancement.
The earth isn’t having a good 21st century. In terms of environmental health, the planet is deteriorating across all metrics, and most governments worldwide have failed to address this issue adequately. Politicians may be more willing to push for substantive policies on issues like climate change if they feel their constituents would support them, but they need the data. So, to commemorate Earth Day and Arbor Day, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative consumer research study to identify sustainability policies that Americans support and to highlight their views on environmental concerns.
How America Celebrates Holidays & Traditions: Black AmericansThinkNow
Celebrations are positive ways for communities to connect and families to bond. How we celebrate differs by ethnicity, values, traditions, and even geography. In honor of Black History Month, ThinkNow conducted a national study of U.S. adults to understand Black Americans’ attitudes and behaviors toward holiday celebrations and traditions and how they compare to other demographic groups. This report is one in a series of reports examining how Americans celebrate popular holidays throughout the calendar year.

America is at a critical crossroads regarding guns. With growing gun violence being normalized in American culture, we felt as researchers and communicators that we needed to understand the hard facts.
How do gun owners feel about gun control? How about Republican voters? Are there gun control measures that Republicans, Democrats, and Independents would all support?
In a collaborative research project, Team Friday and ThinkNow asked 1,200 Americans their opinions and attitudes toward gun laws.
In a time when U.S. viewership of international sporting events like the Olympics is declining, more attention will be placed on the expanding World Cup audience. Americans will be tuning in, or more precisely, logging on. Brands that care about staying relevant need to be there with them.
ThinkNow conducted a nationwide online survey of U.S. adults to understand how people will be engaging with the 2022 World Cup.
Multicultural consumers are often motivated by a desire to represent their culture in how they identify their race and ethnicity. In 2020, ThinkNow conducted a nationwide online survey among Hispanics, African Americans, and Asian Americans ages 18 to 64 to understand how they prefer to identify themselves among peers and in marketing and media. This year, we conducted a follow-up study in which we found that the needle hadn’t moved much, with a few exceptions.
ThinkNow partnered with Klick Health to address the insight gaps in healthcare marketing geared toward Hispanic communities. To honor the nuances of Hispanic health within the community versus continuing to center the non-Hispanic experience as the baseline for analysis, we looked at the intricacies of Hispanic health attitudes and behaviors through Hispanic identity, age and acculturation, and gender and sexuality.
ThinkNow Web 3.0 Cryptocurrency Report 2022ThinkNow
Mobile apps like Apple Pay have made online and offline purchases more convenient for consumers, liberating them from having to pull out their wallets, credit cards, and wads of dollar bills and loose change. But the innovations of Web 2.0 are in the rearview, as consumers explore Web 3.0 where digital currency is just a fraction of what the virtual experience has to offer.
For enthusiasts, Web 3.0, or Web3, is a way of democratizing the internet, shifting power away from the behemoths dominating search, sales, and social and giving it back to consumers. The blockchain has made bitcoin, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and other forms of cryptocurrency ubiquitous among devotees, and the metaverse has become a virtual utopia for consumers and brands.
In our second look at cryptocurrency, ThinkNow conducted a nationwide online survey of adults ages 18 to 64 to understand their familiarity, usage, and interest in cryptocurrency and other Web3 technologies.
Two years ago, the global shutdown sent the economy reeling, and many Americans, especially lower-income households, experienced a seismic shift in their financial security. Consumers reported worsening personal finances and a feeling that the economy was weakening. Their outlook for 2021 was equally as dim, with fewer Americans feeling optimistic about improvements in personal finances for the coming year. Uncertainty about the pandemic, unemployment, and higher prices threatened to thwart the comeback story of the American consumer. But with the mass distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, better protocols and treatments, and the distribution of trillions of dollars in federal stimulus, consumer sentiment has returned to pre-pandemic levels. In our seventh annual ThinkNow Pulse™ Report, Americans say their income has improved in the past year, and their outlook on personal finances and the U.S. economy is just as strong as it was in 2019 or stronger.

ThinkNow Smart Fitness: The Rise of Connected Fitness and CommunityThinkNow
The pandemic has accelerated the shift from traditional in-person gym memberships to broader acceptance of at-home connected fitness equipment. But a recent ThinkNow study shows that the gym isn’t dead, and connected fitness has a long way to go.
For our 2021 ThinkNow Smart Fitness Report, ThinkNow conducted a nationwide online survey of American adults ages 18 to 64 to understand consumer usage of internet-connected fitness equipment and perceptions of connected fitness brands.
Room To Grow
Twenty-five percent of respondents report owning connected fitness equipment. Ownership is highest among Non-Hispanic Whites and African Americans. Within the Total Market, ownership is highest among Millennials and increases drastically with income, and men are twice as likely as women to own smart exercise equipment.
It’s important to reiterate that only one out of four respondents report owning connected fitness equipment, and 20% of those who do not currently own it are at least somewhat interested in purchasing it. This data suggests a tremendous opportunity for brands innovating in or entering the connected fitness space.
Most Popular Connected Fitness Equipment
However, differences emerge when we take a closer look at the types of connected fitness equipment consumers own. Exercise bikes and treadmills, artifacts of the 1970s and 80s fitness movement, have maintained their appeal over the years, getting “smarter” with each passing year. Traditional resistance weight machines, reminiscent of the bodybuilding craze, appear to be losing some ground to, more minimalistic forms of strength training, like resistance bands.
Of the most popular brands of connected fitness equipment available, Peloton, Mirror, and NordicTrack are favored by respondents, while CLMBR, Tonal, and SoulCycle, rank in the bottom few. However, competition within this space is heated, with only a slim margin separating one brand from the next, especially as lines start to blur on product offerings.
Mirror, for example, offers a variety of workouts, from cardio and strength training to Pilates and Tai Chi. Accessories include fitness bands and yoga blocks but no weights. They likely pride themselves on their minimal impact on home life. Tempo and Tonal, however, both positioning themselves as “smart gyms,” offers accessories like weights and smart handles to maximize workouts. NordicTrack has a suite of products, including exercise bikes and an interactive “mirror” similar to Tempo, with a vault of weights and accessories inside. And while Peloton is probably more known for its bikes, the company also offers boot camp style workouts, yoga, barre, among others, with no equipment required.
The most significant threat to the success and continued adoption of connected fitness equipment is forward-thinking gyms innovating to stay competitive.
The document discusses the results of a study on the impact of climate change on coffee production. Researchers found that suitable land for coffee production could decline by up to 50% by 2050 due to rising temperatures and changing rain patterns associated with climate change. Arabica coffee was found to be most at risk, as its growing regions would shrink significantly according to the study's climate models. The study concludes that climate change poses a serious threat to the coffee industry worldwide if action is not taken to reduce emissions and help farmers adapt.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise boosts blood flow, releases endorphins, and promotes changes in the brain which help enhance one's emotional well-being and mental clarity.
Companies en masse stepped up in 2020 decrying racism in America. But have those public declarations resulted in systemic changes in their diversity and inclusion practices, and how are consumers responding to those changes? To answer that question, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative survey of Americans to understand the impact of companies that demonstrate a commitment to diversity and inclusion and how consumers voice their approval or disapproval of those companies with their wallets. We’ve captured a few highlights from the report in an infographic.

L'indice de performance des ports à conteneurs de l'année 2023SPATPortToamasina
Une évaluation comparable de la performance basée sur le temps d'escale des navires
L'objectif de l'ICPP est d'identifier les domaines d'amélioration qui peuvent en fin de compte bénéficier à toutes les parties concernées, des compagnies maritimes aux gouvernements nationaux en passant par les consommateurs. Il est conçu pour servir de point de référence aux principaux acteurs de l'économie mondiale, notamment les autorités et les opérateurs portuaires, les gouvernements nationaux, les organisations supranationales, les agences de développement, les divers intérêts maritimes et d'autres acteurs publics et privés du commerce, de la logistique et des services de la chaîne d'approvisionnement.
Le développement de l'ICPP repose sur le temps total passé par les porte-conteneurs dans les ports, de la manière expliquée dans les sections suivantes du rapport, et comme dans les itérations précédentes de l'ICPP. Cette quatrième itération utilise des données pour l'année civile complète 2023. Elle poursuit le changement introduit l'année dernière en n'incluant que les ports qui ont eu un minimum de 24 escales valides au cours de la période de 12 mois de l'étude. Le nombre de ports inclus dans l'ICPP 2023 est de 405.
Comme dans les éditions précédentes de l'ICPP, la production du classement fait appel à deux approches méthodologiques différentes : une approche administrative, ou technique, une méthodologie pragmatique reflétant les connaissances et le jugement des experts ; et une approche statistique, utilisant l'analyse factorielle (AF), ou plus précisément la factorisation matricielle. L'utilisation de ces deux approches vise à garantir que le classement des performances des ports à conteneurs reflète le plus fidèlement possible les performances réelles des ports, tout en étant statistiquement robuste.
