TL;DR: Having an alcohol task force or coalition was associated with participation by the president and/or community representative on the task force, having extramural funding to address high-risk drinking, training in environmental management, implementation of changes after the training, plans for future training, school size, Greek organizations on campus, and being a state university.

TL;DR: Remnant lipoproteins are an important emerging risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD) and can be elevated if there is impaired triglyceride lipolysis, as observed in patients with metabolic syndrome and diabetes.

TL;DR: This discussion will discuss the implications of having nonoverlapping covariate (or propensity score) distributions between treatment groups, some additional issues to consider when covariates included in the propensity score model have missing data, and the possibility of using propensity score approaches even in randomized clinical trials.
