Development And Evaluation Of Trauma Informed Care Education For Licensed Nurses, Kristina O'Meara
Development And Evaluation Of Trauma Informed Care Education For Licensed Nurses, Kristina O'Meara
Epsilon Sigma at-Large Research Conference
Trauma informed care nursing education is crucial. Trauma informed care is a method of providing health care which understands the likelihood of past and present traumatic events in patients and families. The experience of past or present trauma often led to chronic diseases, substance abuse disorder, fragmented health care, fears surrounding health care, chronic stress, and other negative health consequences. The purpose of this project is to increase licensed nurses’ awareness and ability to practice trauma informed care in clinical practice, as well as promote policy initiation within the health care facilities. Method planning integrated the Knowledge to Action Cycle. …
Biodiversity In Grassland: Bangladesh Perspective, B. Hossain
Biodiversity In Grassland: Bangladesh Perspective, B. Hossain
IGC Proceedings (1997-2023)
The rapidly increasing human population in Bangladesh has caused widespread damage to and disturbance of natural habitats and a loss of indigenous wildlife. There are now very few, if any, extensive patches of grassland in Bangladesh and any that might remain are inundated for two-thirds of the year with no alternative refugia available. Most remaining grassland areas are fragmented, heavily used and harvested up to three times a year. Furthermore, the reed lands of northeast Bangladesh were leased out for paper production and are reported to have been entirely destroyed and settled by encroachers. Tall grasslands around rivers and lakes …
The Impact Of School-Based Support Services On Mental Health And Academic Performance, Joshua A. Kent
The Impact Of School-Based Support Services On Mental Health And Academic Performance, Joshua A. Kent
2023 Symposium
Background: There has been a continued presence of mental health issues among high-school aged youth. As a result, many have a diminished ability to be successful in school. It is a societal problem as discussed in the literature. Legislation within the last 23 years has created more access for students but there is still a gap in services. This gap is mostly seen by not having enough personnel to address the amount of students that need assistance. There is also an inconsistent use of school-based health centers and other school-based interventions. Too many schools are using different interventions and …

The Impact Of The "Whistle-To-Whistle" Ban On The Frequency And Placement Of Gambling Advertising On Uk Television, Ellen Mcgrane, Elizabeth Goyder, Rob Pryce, Matt Field
International Conference on Gambling & Risk Taking
Abstract
Introduction:
There are currently no legally enforced restrictions on the broadcast time of gambling advertising on UK television. In August 2019, the Industry Group for Responsible Gambling (IGRG) introduced a voluntary policy which limited advertising around live sports, creating a “safe” window of 5 minutes either side of a match, known as the “Whistle-to-Whistle” period. This policy intended to protect young and vulnerable people from the widespread exposure to gambling adverts on television during pre-watershed (9pm) live sports games.
Methods:
This study will employ panel data statistical models to explore the change in pre-watershed gambling advertising around live sports, …

The Economic Ferocity Of Policy, Giana Depaul
Helm's School of Government Conference - American Revival: Citizenship & Virtue
Each day, as the Dow Jones rises and falls, Congress similarly passes and fails legislation. These two seemingly continuous cycles intersect to the point that the two structures appear affixed. For centuries, this has posed an age-old question: is it policy that influences the economic system or is it the economic system itself that molds policy decision-making? Renowned economist Adam Smith is famous for his works detailing the autonomous nature of the economic system. Smith views policy as only a small roadblock in the master strategy of the economic flow of life. The Great Depression and the 2008 Recession, however, …

A pattern of health insurance policy among smokers in the United States
Abdulrasak Ejiwumi, Nathan Hale and Melissa White, Department of Health Services Management and Policy, College of Public Health, East Tennessee State University, Johnson City, TN
Previous research has noted that Medicaid expansion has had a positive impact health care access and the quality of healthcare services among individuals with lower incomes. However, only a few studies have been conducted to describe the association between smoking and having any type of healthcare insurance in the United States. Health insurance provides access to important smoking cessation programs that are critical …

Decision Support For Grassland Systems In Developing Countries, P. K. Thornton
Decision Support For Grassland Systems In Developing Countries, P. K. Thornton
IGC Proceedings (1997-2023)
Key points
1. Information flows in complex systems are often themselves highly complex, and decision support approaches based on linear input-output processes may have only limited impact.
2. How decisions are made, and how they can be appropriately supported, is often incompletely understood, in part because of inadequate understanding of the objectives and attitudes of all the decision makers involved.
3. Much of the developing world faces daunting problems in the coming 30 years, and appropriate information could play a critical role in dealing with these.
4. System complexity, household variability, and institutional intricacies have to be embraced rather than …

Water Resources, Agriculture And Pasture: Implications Of Growing Demand And Increasing Scarcity, M. W. Rosegrant, R. A. Valmonte-Santos, S. A. Cline, C. Ringler, W. Li
IGC Proceedings (1997-2023)
- Water availability for irrigation is threatened in many regions by rapidly increasing demand for nonagricultural water uses in industry, households, and the environment. The scarcity of irrigation water will not only impact crop production, but also meat production, as much of the pasture used to feed livestock is irrigated.
- Grassland is caught between two countervailing forces: a requirement for increasing meat demand that boosts the need for additional pasture to support livestock production, and rapidly increasing water scarcity that makes pasture irrigation uneconomical.
- The most effective means of dealing with water scarcity is likely to be conserving water in existing …

A Review Of Accessibility And Return To Sport (Covid-19) Policy In Provincial And Territorial Sport Organizations Across Canada, Elias Boussoulas
A Review Of Accessibility And Return To Sport (Covid-19) Policy In Provincial And Territorial Sport Organizations Across Canada, Elias Boussoulas
Undergraduate Student Research Internships Conference
Issues with lack of accessibility in sport for those with both physical and mental disabilities have been prevalent throughout Canada. In order to understand and address these concerns, we must first review the provincial and territorial sport structure as well as accessibility policy in each provincial/territorial sport organization across Canada.
As a result of COVID-19, many provincial and territorial sport organizations found challenges in returning to play successfully while following provincial and territorial phased plans.The setbacks and restrictions put in place created a difficult environment for organizations to return to play, and without a sport-specific Return to Sport plan many …
Applying Design-Led Approaches To Public Sector Innovation: A Case Study Of New Zealand’S Service Innovation Lab, Jane Lehtinen
Applying Design-Led Approaches To Public Sector Innovation: A Case Study Of New Zealand’S Service Innovation Lab, Jane Lehtinen
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This paper adds to emerging research on the application of design-led approaches to public policy and services by public sector innovation labs. It presents key findings from the first in-depth case study on the New Zealand government Service Innovation Lab, which operated between 2017 and 2020 as part of broader public sector efforts for citizen-centric digital transformation. Based on a thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews and organizational documentation, it discusses how the challenges of applying the Lab’s design-led approach in this public sector context were navigated by professionals involved with the Lab over time. The findings reveal that to navigate …
Co-Designing Public Value: Collective Ownership Of Outcomes In The Public Sphere, Jez Bebbington, Leon Cruickshank, Niall Hayes
Co-Designing Public Value: Collective Ownership Of Outcomes In The Public Sphere, Jez Bebbington, Leon Cruickshank, Niall Hayes
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Design principles and practices have contributed substantially to the discipline of public management, particularly over the last decade. Service design, design for policy, and design for social innovation demonstrate the increasing degree of convergence between design and public management. This paper considers the concept of ‘creating public value’, at a strategic level beyond specific policies and services, from a co-design perspective. The paper explores opportunities for co-design principles and methods to contribute to the creation of public value - via policy design and enactment - through the examination of public value and co-design literature. Implications for co-designers and policymakers are …
Assessing The Impact Of Inequality On Political Activity And Class Consciousness, Matthew Prouty
Assessing The Impact Of Inequality On Political Activity And Class Consciousness, Matthew Prouty
Thinking Matters Symposium
Since 1980, the United States has experienced stagnating wages, higher levels of inequality, and intensifying political polarization. Despite this, U.S. domestic economic policy has not undergone the fundamental transformation needed to combat these systemic challenges. Why have these policies remained in place when they have a negative impact on the aggregate working class, and why has the working class not used American Democracy to change these policies? Could it be that the rising inequality has led to reduced political engagement with the remaining voters being more devout participants to their ideology than effective policy? Although there is an abundance of …

Security Research Hub Reports
Research-engaged decision making and policy reform processes are critical to advancing resilience, adaptation, and transformation in social-ecological systems under stress. Here we propose a new conceptual framework to assess opportunities for research engagement in the policy process, building upon existing understandings of power dynamics and the political economy of policy reform. We retrospectively examine three cases of research engagement in small-scale fisheries policy and decision making, at national level (Myanmar) and at regional level (Pacific Islands region and sub-Saharan Africa), to illustrate application of the framework and highlight different modes of research engagement. We conclude with four principles for designing …
Priority Areas For Action And Research On Pastoralism And Rangelands In Eastern Africa, M. O. Odhiambo
Priority Areas For Action And Research On Pastoralism And Rangelands In Eastern Africa, M. O. Odhiambo
IGC Proceedings (1997-2023)
There is an element of irony around pastoralism and research in Eastern Africa. While it is one of the most researched production and livelihood systems, pastoralism is also the least understood by policymakers and development actors, with discussions about its importance characterized by significant gaps in knowledge. What is more, policy actors have difficulties accessing empirical data specific to pastoralism and rangelands in a form that allows well-founded decision-making on policy and action. Most available data tend to be out of date and not disaggregated with reference to pastoralism and rangelands. As a result, much of the discourse around pastoralism …
Implications Of Herder Attitudes For Stocking Rates In China And Mongolia, Yanting Yin, Ping Li, David R. Kemp
Implications Of Herder Attitudes For Stocking Rates In China And Mongolia, Yanting Yin, Ping Li, David R. Kemp
IGC Proceedings (1997-2023)
Over-grazing of the grasslands in China and Mongolia is a common problem. Herders typically aim to increase their animal numbers to then hopefully, improve their status and incomes. Various studies have shown that stocking rates often need to be halved to restore grasslands to a sustainable state. Governments have been enacting policies to achieve a reduction in stocking rates, especially in China. However, in both countries, herders have freedom to set their own stocking rates. A survey was done of ~900 herders in Inner Mongolia, on the five main grassland types, to define their styles, attitudes and intentions for stocking …

Herders’ Attitude And Decision Making In Stocking Rates And Implication For Grassland Management In China, Ping Li, Rong Zhi, Jeff Bennett, Kejian Lin, Ke Jin
IGC Proceedings (1997-2023)
Overgrazing is widely acknowledged to be the main driver of grassland degradation. Governments seeking to address the grassland degradation problem have therefore focused on policies designed to reduce overgrazing. The Chinese government has implemented a series of policies with the aim of protecting the grasslands from more serious degradation. The efficacy of these policies has been questioned given that, since their introduction, stocking rates have remained high in many affected areas. It has been suggested that the government should enhance grassland monitoring and the punishment of overgrazing. Increasing penalties would reduce stocking rates, however that is likely to cause more …

The Threat Of Social Media To Society And National Security: A Call For Social Media Policy And Legislation, Frank Hernandez
Helm's School of Government Conference - American Revival: Citizenship & Virtue
In the Constitution, We the People affirm ourselves to domestic tranquility, our common defense and general welfare to secure the blessings of Liberty. As such, statesmen are charged with developing policy to ensure social media is safe, accessible and usable to all. Currently, social media companies and use of their platforms pose a threat to national security and the societal fabric of our nation. No longer just a communication tool to bring communities and people together, social media is now leveraged to disrupt and diminish faith in our democratic republic, its people, systems and institutions. Citizens, public and private organizations, …
Understanding How Nimby-Ism Shapes Portland, Maine’S Homeless Policies: A Qualitative Study, Eleanor Ginder
Understanding How Nimby-Ism Shapes Portland, Maine’S Homeless Policies: A Qualitative Study, Eleanor Ginder
Thinking Matters Symposium
On June 17, 2019, after a prolonged period of community concern, the Portland City Council voted to relocate the city’s homeless shelter from the rapidly gentrifying Bayside neighborhood to a wooded area at the city limits. As municipal shelters continue to move away from metropolitan areas, the impact of NIMBY-ism on local and state policies related to homelessness cannot go unnoted. By analyzing publicly available testimony that occurred in the months after the decision to relocate, a variation of NIMBY-ism begins to emerge. This phenomenon, which could be referred to as “neo-NIMBY-ism” is characterized by individuals with lived experience of …
