I. Validation of microplastic consumption among 16-40 yrs old in the marginalized sector of Bacoor, Cavite
and its effects to reproductive health
Significance of the study:
This study aims to assess the consumption of microplastics through seafood among individuals aged 16-40 in
the marginalized sector of Bacoor, Cavite and evaluate its potential impact on reproductive health. Given the
increasing concerns about microplastic contamination and its heath implications, it is essential to understand
the exposure levels in vulnerable populations. Seafood, a dietary staple in coastal communities, often contains
microplastics due to marine pollution, making it a significant source of exposure. By focusing on this specific
demographic, the research seeks to identify correlations between microplastic intake and reproductive health
outcomes. The findings will provide valuable insights for local health authorities, inform policy development,
and promote initiatives to reduce microplastic contamination in seafood, thereby enhancing community
health and well-being.
Objectives:
1. Measure the presence and quantity of microplastics in commonly consumed seafood in the marginalized
sector of Bacoor, Cavite
2. Assess the dietary patterns and seafood consumption habits of individuals aged 16-40 in this community.
3. Investigate potential associations between microplastic exposure through seafood contamination and self-
reported reproductive health issues in this demographic.
4. Provide preliminary data to support future research and local health initiatives aimed at mitigating
microplastic contamination in seafood.
II. Exploring the association between health literacy levels and non-communicable disease prevention
behaviors among elderly populations residing in Silang, Cavite
It is impossible to overestimate the importance of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). With almost 74% of
the global illness burden, they are the leading cause of death globally. A critical relationship between health
literacy and behavioral risk factors linked to non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as alcohol use, smoking
and sedentary lifestyle, was highlighted by Mynt’s study conducted in Myanmar in 2015. This implies that
improving health literacy might be used to guard against these risk factors in advance. Health literacy (HL) is
the term used to describe the social and cognitive abilities required of people to get, understand, and apply
health information in order to protect and advance their own health. In the same direction, a study done by
Agosto et al (2018), states that 93.9% of Pasig City residents in Metro Manila aged 50 to 70 who participated
in a poll reported having poor or insufficient health literacy skills.
Objectives:
1. To evaluate the health literacy levels among elderly populations residing in Silang, Cavite
2. To assess the NCD prevention behaviors among the elderly population residing in Silang, Cavite
3. To examine the correlation between the elderly population’ health literacy and their NCD’s prevention
behavior.
III. The impact of artificial intelligence in medical education: a cross-sectional needs assessment
This study examined the perceptions of future physicians on the possible influences of artificial intelligence on
medicine, and to determine the needs that might be helpful for curriculum restructuring. The participants
expressed a need for an update on the medical curriculum, according to necessities in transforming healthcare
driven by artificial intelligence. The update should revolve around equipping future physicians with the
knowledge and skills to effectively use artificial intelligence applications and ensure that professional values
and rights are protected.
Objectives:
1. To evaluate how medical students perceive the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing medical
practice, including its potential to facilitate access to information, improve patient care, and reduce
medical errors.
2. To identify and analyze medical students' concerns regarding the integration of AI in healthcare, including
potential negative impacts on employment, the value of the medical profession, trust in healthcare,
patient-physician relationships, and professional confidentiality.
3. To determine the specific educational gaps in current medical training related to AI applications, and to
identify the curriculum changes needed to equip future physicians with the knowledge and skills necessary
to effectively and ethically use AI in their practice.
IV. The impact of the CHED scholarship on the Persistence and Progression of the Medical students at
Adventist University of the Philippines College of Medicine
The study of the relationship between grants, financial aids, loans, tuition, remission and institutional
scholarships based on merits and its effect on the student’s persistence, progression, and timely graduation
has been conducted on a cohort of 819 first-time freshmen during the academic years of 2000-2001 and 2001-
2002 at the University of Georgia. Results showed that researchers have accounted three models that is
persistence, progression and graduation in which have shown variances of 14% for the persistence and 16%
for the progression, graduation had a variance of 20% with a predicted value of 84% if students who graduated
and 40% that did not, it showed that social support, goals, academic motivation are only residual in effects.
Test scoring was also accounted in which students scoring above 1110 were less likely to succeed than mid-
range students scoring between 1021 and 1110 by which scholarships mitigated the risk. It is unknown why
high scorers are less likely to succeed, but it is possible that high scorers have other institutional options
available to them and may feel more freedom to take those options if not initially successful although it
partially confirmed institutional scholarships, need-based aid, and estimated family contribution seem to be
variables of high impact on the student success (Ganem, 2011).
Objectives:
1. To examine the relationship of the scholarship aid to the success of the students based on merit
2. To assess the design of the scholarship and how it affects the persistence and progression of the students
V. Examining the Impact of Proper Hygiene Interventions on Academic Performance among Lawa Elementary
School Students
A study investigated the effects of water, sanitation and hygiene facilities on academic performance of Basic
School Pupils at Dzodze in the Ketu North Municipality of the Volta Region. About 28 (28%) said they
performed better in the end of term exams than previously whiles 27 (27%) stated they have become more
active in class which is promising (Dodzi, 2020).
Objectives:
1. To assess the baseline academic performance and hygiene practices among Lawa elementary school
students.
2. To evaluate the extent of compliance among Lawa elementary school students with prescribed hygiene
interventions implemented by researchers.
3. To examine the correlation between students' compliance to hygiene interventions and their academic
performance at Lawa elementary school
