Examining The Relationship Between Discriminated Medical Care And Telehealth Use In The United States, Jennifer E. Akpo, Samuel Opoku, Bettye A. Apenteng, William A. Mase

Health Policy & Community Health: Faculty Publications

Introduction: Discrimination in healthcare can lead to reduced trust in the system and reluctance to seek care. Telehealth and other digital health technologies may have the potential to reduce inequality and bias within the healthcare system since the virtual space may minimize the implicit social and cultural biases that can influence face-to-face interactions in the traditional in-person healthcare delivery settings. However, amidst a growing body of literature on how different racial and ethnic groups use telehealth services, the extent to which discrimination in medical care drives the use of telehealth in the United States has remained largely uncharacterized. We aimed …

Rural Hospital Philanthropy: Community Awareness And Willingness To Donate To The Georgia Rural Hospital Tax Credit Program, Linda Kimsey, Bettye A. Apenteng, Samuel Opoku, Charles F. Owens, Angela Peden, Aishat Adewoye, Foram Patel

Health Policy & Community Health: Faculty Publications

BACKGROUND: The Rural Hospital Tax Credit program, legislated by the Georgia General Assembly, provides financial support to rural hospitals by allowing Georgia taxpayers to contribute to eligible rural hospitals, receiving a 100% tax credit for their donation. While the policy aims to improve hospital financial stability, little is known about public awareness of the program or factors influencing willingness to donate. This study examines community members’ awareness of the Georgia rural hospital tax credit program and their willingness to donate to it to better understand donor perspectives in underserved areas.

METHODS: The study analyzed secondary data obtained from surveys completed …

Defining Economic And Environmental Typologies Across 77 Countries To Prioritize Opportunities For Nonsewered Sanitation, Hannah A. C. Lohman, Yalin Li, Xinyi Zhang, Victoria L. Morgan, Shion Watabe, Stetson Rowles, Roland D. Cusick, Jeremy S. Guest

Civil Engineering & Construction: Faculty Publications

Lack of access to sanitation is a challenge that persists globally, with low sewerage connection rates in many low- and lower-middle-income countries. Engineered nonsewered sanitation (NSS) technologies can meet treatment requirements without sewers, but their relative sustainability varies across potential deployment sites. Here, we characterize the costs and carbon intensity (CI) of three emerging NSS technologies, two community reinvented toilets (CRTs) and one Omni Processor (OP), across 77 countries, identify sustainability performance typologies, and map typology prevalence in countries across the globe. Locality-specific factors such as wages, diet, and material costs drive regional variability in NSS costs by up to …

Social-Emotional Learning In A Week-Long Theatre Camp For Youth, Emily E. Virtue, Lisa C. Mann, Hannah Diener

Current Issues in Middle Level Education

Understanding how social-emotional learning develops in middle level education is important for educators and parents as they work to guide youth toward healthy relationships and responsible citizenship. Many studies demonstrate that students who participate in theatre have shown greater emotional health and more capacity to move through conflict positively. This study asks if social-emotional learning through theatre education can still happen outside of a formal educational setting. This study is a mixed methods investigation of a week-long theatre camp in the summer for upper elementary and middle school youth. Four aspects of social emotional learning were studied: task articulation, self-regulation, …

Exploring The Impact Of A Middle Level School Therapy Dog On Students And Staff And Connections To Best Practices In Middle School Education, Brandye Nobiling, Sherry Maykrantz, Tara Downes, Joshua Nobiling

Current Issues in Middle Level Education

The presence of therapy dogs in schools has increased due to the growing body of research showing positive effects of assisted-animal interaction. But there is little published research on how an innovation such as a therapy dog connects to best practices in middle level education. The goal of the research was to use the Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory to connect the implementation of a therapy dog to the Association for Middle Level Education’s (AMLE) essential attributes and characteristics as well as components of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model. Focus …

Building Community With Middle Level Preservice Teachers, Carolyn A. Weber

Current Issues in Middle Level Education

This paper addresses how community building can be implemented in a class for preservice middle level teachers. The preservice teachers connected community building to their success in the course and reported ways they could build community in their future classrooms.

"It Makes It More Real.”: Teacher Candidate Perceptions Of A Clinically-Rich Middle Grades Teacher Preparation Program, Shawn A. Faulkner, Michael Dicicco

Current Issues in Middle Level Education

The persistent divide between theory and practice in teacher education has long been a subject of concern among researchers and scholars (Darling-Hammond, 2006; Zeichner, 2010). This paper explores teacher candidate perceptions of a clinically-rich (NASUP, 2021) middle grades teacher preparation program that has worked to create a “third space” (Zeichner, 2010) through a school-university partnership with a local middle school. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with teacher candidates (n=23) at the time of program completion. Findings suggest teacher candidates felt prepared and valued clinically-based activities and experiences. Teacher candidates suggest future improvements to the program should include more experiences tied to …

Using Text Clusters To Support Student Imagining, Wondering, Questioning, And Discovering, William P. Bintz

Current Issues in Middle Level Education

This article describes an unexpected playground experience that occurred between the author, a reading educator and former middle grades teacher, and his six-year-old granddaughter. The experience became the inspiration and impetus to provide an introduction to, and a rationale for, the concept of text clusters to middle grades teachers. The concept of developing and implementing text clusters in the classroom is driven by inquiry and based on one question: How can middle school teachers develop and implement text clusters to help their students actively engage in imagining, wondering, questioning, and discovering? It shares and illustrates examples of text clusters. It …

Advancing Circular Bioeconomy Through A Systems-Level Assessment Of Food Waste And Industrial Sludge Codigestion, Md Nizam Uddin, Cassidy Hartog, Emma Murray, Jacob Loveless, Luke Roberson, Asli Aslan, Francisco Cubas, Stetson Rowles

Civil Engineering & Construction: Faculty Publications

Disposal of food waste (FW) in landfills remains an unsustainable practice for organic waste management. Simultaneously, pulp and paper mills produce significant amounts of recalcitrant organic waste that is difficult to decompose due to its high lignocellulosic content. In this study, we developed an innovative approach to improve the digestion of pulp and paper mill sludge (PPMS) by amending FW to produce a low chemical oxygen demand (COD) sludge while recovering methane in the process. This codigestion process was evaluated through lab-scale biogas production experiments coupled with a comprehensive economic and environmental sustainability assessment. Biomethane production results revealed that the …
