An Examination Of Nba Mvp Voting Behavior: Does Race Matter?, B. Jay Coleman, J Michael Dumond, Allen K. Lynch
An Examination Of Nba Mvp Voting Behavior: Does Race Matter?, B. Jay Coleman, J Michael Dumond, Allen K. Lynch
Management Faculty Publications
The selection process of the most valuable player (MVP) in the National Basketball Association (NBA) was recently questioned as to whether African-American players were treated unfairly based on their race. Using NBA voting data from the 1995-2005 seasons, we develop two empirical models in order to examine the role that a player’s race plays in the determination of this award. Our estimates imply that after controlling for player, team, and market characteristics, there is no statistically significant effect of race on the likelihood that a player will appear on an MVP ballot or on the number of votes he will …

Relaxations In Ba2bisbo6 Double Complex Perovskite Ceramics, Manoel Carvalho Castro Jr., Carlos William De Araujo Paschoal, Frank C. Snyder, Michael W. Lufaso
Chemistry Faculty Research and Scholarship
The electric properties of the complex double perovskite Ba2BiSbO6 have been investigated using impedance spectroscopy in the frequency range from 1 Hz up to 1 MHz and in the temperature range from room temperature up to 560 K. There are two contributions to the electrical properties due to the grain and grain boundary. The oxygen vacancies play an important role in the conductivity and strongly increase the dielectric constant at high temperatures. The analysis of the frequency dependence of the conductivity clearly shows the structural phase transition of this compound near 515 K.

The Std – Hiv Connection: Deficiencies In Knowledge And Practice Patterns Among Family Physicians And Gynecologists
Florida Public Health Review
Previous studies have shown suboptimal compliance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations for HIV testing in patients with sexually-transmitted disease (STDs). However, the literature is especially sparse with respect to family physicians and gynecologists in private practice. Further, there are no data regarding knowledge among these physicians of the causative relationship between STDs and HIV. All family physicians (238) and gynecologists (131) in private practice in Broward County, Florida were anonymously surveyed for their knowledge of the connection between STDs and HIV and to determine if they translated this into practice. Responses from 57 family physicians and …

College Students’ Knowledge About Meningococcal Disease And Preferences For Health Information
College Students’ Knowledge About Meningococcal Disease And Preferences For Health Information
Florida Public Health Review
The purpose of this study was to measure college students’ knowledge about meningococcal disease, preferred sources of health information, and vaccine intentions. Participants included 519 students taking online undergraduate courses in public health. We developed and administered a brief, ten-question online survey, which was posted on BlackBoard®. Students demonstrated a high level of knowledge about risk factors for meningococcal disease, but reported a need for more information, preferably delivered through electronic media. About a third of students had received the meningococcal vaccine prior to the survey; students who lived on campus were more likely to be vaccinated. Further research is …
Creando Nuestra Salud (Creating Our Health) - Results And Findings From A Breast Cancer Education Program With Rural Hispanic Women
Florida Public Health Review
Rural Hispanic females practice breast-self exams (BSE) and other breast health screenings less than women from all other racial or ethnic groups. Questions remain as to why these women do not practice these important breast health behaviors. A qualitative design was used to assess the knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and barriers to breast health activities among 288 rural Hispanic women. Results revealed that along with external barriers such as transportation and money, internal barriers (shame of being seen naked, discomfort of touching their own breasts, and lack of knowledge) had a greater effect on their practice of breast health activities. The …

Development And Pilot Testing Of A Low Literacy Handout For Hispanic/Latino Caregivers To Promote Breastfeeding And Introduce Age Appropriate Foods For Infants, Judith C. Rodriguez, Nancy Correa-Matos
Development And Pilot Testing Of A Low Literacy Handout For Hispanic/Latino Caregivers To Promote Breastfeeding And Introduce Age Appropriate Foods For Infants, Judith C. Rodriguez, Nancy Correa-Matos
Florida Public Health Review
Based on input from four focus groups the authors developed a culturally and linguistically appropriate material (CLAM) that used a pictorial format to promote breast feeding and age-appropriate introduction of solids for Hispanics/Latinos that attended a public health clinic in the northeast region of Florida. The handout focused on five key, but simple educational messages. Clients were randomly assigned to receive 1) the physician's usual oral instruction or 2) instruction that incorporated the use, and provision of, the handout. Among the group (n=12) that received the handout the mean month for introduction of solids was 5 months compared to 4.07 …
Comorbidities Of Patients With Hypertension Admitted To Emergency Departments In Florida Hospitals
Comorbidities Of Patients With Hypertension Admitted To Emergency Departments In Florida Hospitals
Florida Public Health Review
Although essential hypertension (EHT) tends to coexist with other conditions, few studies have focused on comorbidities and symptoms among patients admitted to emergency departments (ED). The objective was to compare the characteristics, comorbidities and symptoms among patients with three types (unspecified, benign, or malignant) of EHT in Florida. A public use data set of ED patients from the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) from 2005 was used. Records included those with primary diagnosis of three types of EHT based on the International Classification of Diseases, 9th edition (ICD-9) code. Group comparisons were made using Chi square tests and …
Tell A Church - Lessons Learned From A Church-Based Tuberculosis Health Education Program
Tell A Church - Lessons Learned From A Church-Based Tuberculosis Health Education Program
Florida Public Health Review
Historically, the church has been the center of the African American community – contributing to the spiritual and physical well-being of its congregations. Community health education outreach utilizing African American churches could prove effective but is often neutralized by historical feelings of distrust in research and outreach by secular organizations. During the summer of 2007, the “Think TB” project, a tuberculosis education program, attempted to utilize the church as a health education venue and overcome the historical hurdles that usually hamper church- based health education promotion. This paper discusses the “Think TB” program’s challenges and successes.
Characteristics Of Patients Admitted To Florida Hospitals For Cardiovascular Diseases
Characteristics Of Patients Admitted To Florida Hospitals For Cardiovascular Diseases
Florida Public Health Review
The present study evaluated the variations in demographic and clinical characteristics of patients hospitalized for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in Florida hospitals in 2005. Using the 2005 data from the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, patients admitted for any CVD were extracted by using the International Classification of Diseases, 9th edition (ICD-9) codes. Of all patients (N=2,534,641) hospitalized in 2005, about 17.7% (n=450,559) were admitted for CVD. There were nine distinct diagnosis groups for CVD and about 33.2% and 31.8% of patients were admitted for other forms of heart disease (OHD) and ischemic heart disease (IHD), respectively. Cerebrovascular disease or …
Social And Environmental Risk Factors For Hypertension In African Americans
Social And Environmental Risk Factors For Hypertension In African Americans
Florida Public Health Review
This study tests the hypothesis that disparities of hypertension risk in African Americans is related to lead exposure, perceptions of racism, and stress, among urban (Roxbury, MA) and rural (Gadsden, FL) communities. Analysis of preliminary data from Phase I reveal 60% in Gadsden and 39% in Roxbury respondents self-reported having hypertension. In Gadsden 80% people did not know if their residence contained lead paint, compared to 45% in Roxbury. In Gadsden County, 58% of respondents reported experiencing racial discrimination in different settings compared with 72% in Roxbury. In regression analyses high cholesterol emerged as a significant predictors of hypertension in …
