Shots For Tots?, Eric A. Feldman
All Faculty Scholarship
By endorsing the use of a vaccine that makes the experience of puffing on a cigarette deeply distasteful, Lieber and Millum have taken the first few tentative steps into a future filled with medical interventions that manipulate individual preferences. It is tempting to embrace the careful arguments of “Preventing Sin” and celebrate the possibility that the profound individual and social costs of smoking will finally be tamed. Yet there is something unsettling about the possibility that parental discretion may be on the cusp of a radical expansion, one that involves a new and unexplored approach to behavior modification.

The Presence Of Coups D'État Within Revolutions: Effects On Population Health, Rose E. Facchini
Master's Theses
The present study is a comparative approach to revolutions and their effect on population health during the post-conflict period.

Degree of revolutionary violence, governmental structures, and pre-revolution health systems is of particular interest as relevant variables.

Waking Up To Safety: An Examination Of Work Hour Guideline Implementation And Education For Registered Nurses, Bonnie J. Schleder
Ed.D. Dissertations
The link between health care worker fatigue and adverse events is inseparable. Errors made by registered nurses correlated with work duration, overtime and the number of adverse events (Page 2004). To promote patient safety, nurses must remain vigilant. This study determined if work hour guidelines and education regarding safety risks affected nurse work hours, the use of fatigue countermeasures, and patient outcomes. The researcher explored survey data (n=597), actual work hours, patient safety events, and quality outcomes. Data collected demonstrated nurses work hours exceeded recommendations for a safe environment. The introduction of voluntary work guidelines and education did …
