Growing Up Healthy: A Study On Young Adults And Their Readiness To Transition To Independent Healthcare, Annabelle Heddell

2022 Awards for Excellence in Student Research and Creative Activity - Documents

Healthcare is a lifelong journey that involves changes, decision making, and awareness of health needs and concerns. As children grow up and age out of the pediatric system, transitioning occurs. Healthcare transitioning (HCT) is a process that assists individuals with the different stages of their health journey. Transition readiness is derived from the concept of health care transitioning, which is generally defined as “the process of shifting from pediatric to adultfocused care” (Kelemen et al., 2014, p. 1062). A more in-depth definition describes health care transitioning as the “process of purposeful, planned movement of adolescents with chronic medical conditions from …

Don’T Tilt My Crown: The Impact Of Hair Discrimination On Minorities, Constance Young

2022 Awards for Excellence in Student Research and Creative Activity - Documents

Hair discrimination is a significant issue that has not been given adequate attention nor the proper application of legislation to combat it across the United States. It is currently disproportionally impacting minorities, especially minority women, as it is not only emotionally and mentally damaging to them, but it can lead to health issues as well. This research will further analyze what causes some states to endorse anti-hair discrimination policies as opposed to others. I believe there are many common factors amongst states that have passed laws related to this issue, and that these factors are main indicators of why other …

Ceo Celebrity Status And Readability Of Financial Statements, Benjamim Eduardo

2022 Awards for Excellence in Student Research and Creative Activity - Documents

The importance and influence of Chief Executive Officer’s reputation to firm value and performance has been a great subject of debate in finance.

The survey showed that executives attribute 45% of their company’s reputation and 44% of company’s market value to the reputation of their CEO, on average. The external visibility of the CEO matters not only to shine a light on the company, but also as a channel through which the firm can tap …

Patterns Of Social Competencies In Children With Adhd, Ashtyn Wilhelm

2022 Awards for Excellence in Student Research and Creative Activity - Documents

Language acquisition is a complex process, and many factors can influence language development. Pragmatic language, more specifically, can be described as using language to communicate during social interactions. Social skills, social behaviors, and social cognition are often used to describe the use of pragmatic language in context. Many cognitive skills influence pragmatic language development, including attention.

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), a commonly diagnosed disorder among school-age children, is characterized by difficulty attending and frequent impulsivity (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association [ASHA], n.d.-a). The characteristics associated with ADHD can negatively affect the social skills of a person diagnosed with ADHD. Thus, children diagnosed …

The Political Obstruction Of Anti-Lynching Policy, Jerimiah Boyd-Johnson

2022 Awards for Excellence in Student Research and Creative Activity - Documents

United States House of Representative Bobby Rush from Illinois’s District 1 proposed the Emmitt Till Anti-Lynching Act (H.R.35 - 116th Congress 2019-2020). This Act would classify lynching as a federal hate crime. This act has been passed through the House of Representatives but was blocked in the Senate by Rand Paul. This is not a new phenomenon. Anti-Lynching legislation has been repeatedly blocked in the United States Senate. As reported by congressional findings, on all three occasions where anti-lynching legislation would be passed the opposing party argued states' rights, threatened to use the filibuster, or used the filibuster. This research …

Nonprofits are a growing part of America’s economy and play an import role in fulfilling the needs of society in addition to private firms and government agencies.

This project looks at the efficiency of 20 food banks in the United States using Data Envelopment Analysis. The results show that American Food Banks appear to be using their funds efficiently, but others could learn to use their inputs and outputs in a more efficient manner. As more data becomes available, this area of …
