It is interested in examining treatment effect on a particular category of subjects or in comparing treatment effects among different subgroups as well as overall treatment effect due to heterogeneity of study subjects. Subgroup analyses are exceedingly common, but they are also often misleading. Conclusions based on subgroup analyses can do harm both when a particular category of people is denied effective treatment (a "false-negative" conclusion), and when ineffective or even harmful treatment is given to a subgroup of people (a "false-positive" conclusion). Because of the frequency and the importance of clinical application of subgroup analysis, researchers need to be cautious about doing subgroup analyses. This study presents guidelines to help conducting subgroup analyses correctly.

Background: Numerous approaches have been taken to reduce mental health issues in the population. However, mental health problems are still arising in the population, and one of the main factors is discrimination towards the mentally ill patient. This issue is inhibiting people from seeking help. This study aimed to assess community discrimination towards people with mental illness and factors affecting it. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a total of 840 respondents (420 males and 420 females) from Sarawak, Malaysia aged 21 years and above. Samples were selected by gender-stratified multistage sampling. Collection of data was done using a pre-tested questionnaire to assess the discrimination towards mental illness via face-to-face interviews. A multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to determine the factors affecting community discrimination towards mental illness. Results: Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that aged between 40 to 49 years old (p = 0.004), aged between 50 to 59 years old (p < 0.001), female respondents (p = 0.014) and having no experience with the mentally ill patient (p < 0.001) appeared to be predictors for discrimination towards mental illness. The model significantly explained 6.6% of variance of discrimination score (F (10,829) = 6.91, p < 0.001). Conclusion The findings suggested that community discrimination towards people with mental illness are still common in the rural population. Effective strategies to combat discrimination will need to be organised and implemented at the community level. Further research on this study in different settings is suggested to understand the associated factors better.

The Mechanism for sorting out the covariance effect is known as the covariance analysis. The sorting out of regression and correlation effect is an obvious application of the covariance analysis. The result of Do population by age groups (15 age interval) from 1966 census and from, 1970 Census has been applied to analyzing covariabiltiy by the analysis of covariance. The results are as follows. The significance of the regression of 1970 population on 1966 population is assured as F=116.5. There is a significant difference between mean of each age groups(F=88.1). There is very little evidence of significant heterogeneity of regression between age group. (F=0.72).

Based on the results of the household cross-sectional study on stunting and its risk fators during 2002-2003 in 32 communes of 8 regions in Viet Nam, authours focused on analyzing the relation between stunting and socio-economic factors at household level. The results of logistic regression showed that stunting was closely related to the height of mother, BMI of mother, birth intervals, and parent’s education level. Children who were sick in the first year of life were at higher risk with stunting (OR=2.5).There was also a strong relation between stunting and household’s living standards (stunting rates were 13,1%, 24,1%, 30.2%, 38.0% and 44.2% in the richest, the mid-upper, the middle, the low-mid and the poorest quintiles, respectively).

Objective: Rapidly evaluate and determine food and nutrition security situation in 8 communes of 3 districts Dak Rong, Cam Lo and Hai Lang, Quang Tri province, to provide necessary information for full survey, propose interventions in order to improve household food and nutrition security situation. Method: cross-sectional, rapid appraisal. Results: rate of poor household is high (45.8%). Infrastructure system, especially agriculture, in Dak Rong is very poor. Pre-harvest rice shortage and hunger still occurs commonly among poor households in 3 districts, especially in Van Kieu/Pako households (rice shortage occurs 4-6 months/year in average), where the number of malnourished children CED mothers are very high
