Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer
  • Social psychology

Gerontology, Transtheoretical model, Mammography, Psychological intervention and Smoking cessation are his primary areas of study. His Gerontology research includes themes of Longitudinal study, Epidemiology, Psychosocial, Demography and Activities of daily living. His Transtheoretical model research includes elements of Family medicine and Mass screening.

His Mammography research is multidisciplinary, relying on both National Health Interview Survey, Gynecology and Behavior change. His Behavior change study combines topics in areas such as Developmental psychology, Cognition, Balance and Clinical psychology. As a part of the same scientific study, William Rakowski usually deals with the Smoking cessation, concentrating on Cross-sectional study and frequently concerns with Attitude change, Weight loss and Social psychology.

His most cited work include:

  • Stages of change and decisional balance for 12 problem behaviors (2102 citations)
  • Assessing motivational readiness and decision making for exercise. (547 citations)
  • Classification and regression tree analysis in public health: methodological review and comparison with logistic regression (513 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

William Rakowski mainly focuses on Gerontology, Mammography, Demography, Family medicine and Psychological intervention. His studies deal with areas such as Psychosocial, Longitudinal study, Ethnic group and Public health as well as Gerontology. His work carried out in the field of Mammography brings together such families of science as Cancer screening, Mass screening, Gynecology, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and Transtheoretical model.

Transtheoretical model is a subfield of Behavior change that William Rakowski investigates. His Demography study deals with Odds ratio intersecting with Confidence interval and Breast cancer. William Rakowski combines subjects such as Intervention, Physical therapy, Randomized controlled trial and Health promotion with his study of Psychological intervention.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Gerontology (31.43%)
  • Mammography (28.57%)
  • Demography (20.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2020)?

  • Gerontology (31.43%)
  • Demography (20.00%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

William Rakowski mostly deals with Mammography, Gerontology, Demography, Cancer screening and Family medicine. His Mammography study incorporates themes from Psychological intervention, Physical therapy and Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. The study incorporates disciplines such as Lung cancer, Smoking cessation, National Lung Screening Trial and Transtheoretical model in addition to Physical therapy.

His Gerontology research integrates issues from Ethnic group, Copayment and Clinical psychology. His studies in Demography integrate themes in fields like Odds ratio, Multivariate analysis, Mass screening, Predictive validity and Gynecology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cervical cancer and Behavior change.

Between 2005 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Cancer knowledge and disparities in the information age. (228 citations)
  • Effect of Cost Sharing on Screening Mammography in Medicare Health Plans (180 citations)
  • Evaluating the impact of non-response bias in the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) (104 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer
  • Social psychology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Gerontology, Mass screening, Demography, Mammography and Health Information National Trends Survey. His research investigates the connection with Gerontology and areas like Cancer screening which intersect with concerns in Intention-to-treat analysis, Worry, Social perception and Psychological intervention. His Demography study which covers Ethnic group that intersects with Meaning, Cultural diversity, Transculturation and Construct.

His Mammography research includes themes of Odds ratio, Copayment, Family medicine and Confidence interval. His research on Odds ratio also deals with topics like

  • Logistic regression most often made with reference to Cross-cultural studies,
  • Multivariate analysis, which have a strong connection to Gynecology,
  • Health education together with Randomized controlled trial and Physical therapy. His Psychosocial research incorporates elements of Sigmoidoscopy, Ambulatory care and Behavior change, Transtheoretical model.
