Could The Global Health Secuirty Agenda Actually Protect Americans From Emerging Diseases?, Shannon Taylor Dixon

Senior Projects Spring 2018

This senior project aims to challenge the traditional thinking of public health. My inspiration from this topic simply comes from my interest in bettering global health for all people. With an ever shifting political and social environment, this paper strives to seek the most successful strategies in combating infectious diseases. By using three prominent and global infectious diseases, Ebola, Zika and Influenza, this paper analyzes the failures and successes of international support and response teams. This paper also uses the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) as a foundation to analyze and support the claim that successful global health interventions are …


אמהות ותינוקות: The Adaptation Of A Prenatal Postpartum Depression Intervention For Orthodox Jewish Women, Samantha L. Klein Jan 2018

אמהות ותינוקות: The Adaptation Of A Prenatal Postpartum Depression Intervention For Orthodox Jewish Women, Samantha L. Klein

Senior Projects Spring 2018

Postpartum depression affects 10-15% of the western population, and even larger numbers in specific cultural groups. Certain factors of Orthodox Jewish culture place Orthodox Jewish women at risk for developing perinatal depression. There are two main schools of psychotherapeutic treatment for perinatal depression: interpersonal therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). This study proposal is concerned with the adaptation of the Mothers and Babies Course (MBC), a CBT, for an Orthodox Jewish population. 705 participants will be stratified randomly placed in either the MBC, an Interpersonal Therapy intervention, or on a waitlist. I predict that the MBC will not only be an …

The Effect Of Facebook On Body Dissatisfaction: Ethnicity As A Possible Moderator, Haley E. Brown Jan 2018

The Effect Of Facebook On Body Dissatisfaction: Ethnicity As A Possible Moderator, Haley E. Brown

Senior Projects Spring 2018

Eating disorders have demonstrated the most extreme rise in prevalence out of all the mental illnesses since 1990 (Lozano et al., 2012). However, research has largely neglected to investigate cross-cultural effects on disordered eating, and thus, findings may only apply to Western samples. Only two known prior studies have investigated effects of social media on disordered eating cross-culturally. This project helps fill a substantial research gap by examining social media effects on body image concerns in a culturally diverse sample of Australian undergraduate women (N= 185). The effect of a ten-minute Facebook exposure on women’s body dissatisfaction and appearance comparison …

A Doctrine Of Signatures, Naomi Zahler

Senior Projects Spring 2018

First you enter the waiting room. There’s a TV on with a segment about how to cook five cheese baked macaroni with hidden veggies so the kids get their vitamins. All you’ve had to eat in the past 24 hours is blue and yellow gatorade. You approach the receptionist who sternly asks you if you followed your diet. You sit down in one of the many chairs that line the wall. Three chairs over from you sits a woman playing solitaire on her kindle. Every fifteen minutes an alarm goes off on her phone and she runs up the receptionist …
