Implications Of Covid-19 Mitigation Policies On Recreational Trail Users: Exploring Antecedents To Physical Distancing On Trails Across The Rural-Urban Continuum, Christopher J. Wynveen, Ingrid Schneider, Deonne Vanderwoude, Taylor Stein, Heather Gibson, Kim Shinew, William Hendricks, Megha Budruk

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent travel restrictions led to a worldwide increase in greenspace use. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention encouraged policies including physical distancing and COVID-related signage. However, the extent to which these policies influenced behavior is unknown. To fill this gap, we report on a 2020 observational study at 14 trails across six U.S. states framed within a social-ecological model. Behavioral observations of 8,093 groups assessed compliance rates with infection-mitigation behaviors. Additionally, we noted the presence of COVID-related signs, the days between the observation and stay-at-home order start date, the setting (i.e., urban, suburban, and …


Preventive Behaviors Along The Rural-Urban Continuum In Utah During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Jessica D. Ulrich-Schad, Jennifer E. Givens, Mitchell Beacham Jun 2022

Preventive Behaviors Along The Rural-Urban Continuum In Utah During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Jessica D. Ulrich-Schad, Jennifer E. Givens, Mitchell Beacham

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Rural individuals and places face major vulnerabilities in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, yet how and why rural residents adopted preventive behaviors as a result is not well understood. Using cross-sectional data from an online panel survey of Utahans along the rural-urban continuum collected in June of 2020, we find that, overall, rural Utahans were less likely than their more urban counterparts to adopt preventive behaviors. Those who perceived less risk, knew someone sick with COVID-19, thought former President Trump was doing a good job handling the pandemic, had false optimism about the pandemic, had less formal education, and belonged …


Rural-Urban And Within-Rural Differences In Covid-19 Mortality Rates, Yue Sun, Kent Jason G. Cheng, Shannon M. Monnat Jun 2022

Rural-Urban And Within-Rural Differences In Covid-19 Mortality Rates, Yue Sun, Kent Jason G. Cheng, Shannon M. Monnat

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Since late-2020, COVID-19 mortality rates have been higher in rural than in urban America, but there has also been substantial within-rural heterogeneity. Using CDC data, we compare COVID-19 mortality rates across the rural-urban continuum as well as within rural counties across different types of labor markets and by metropolitan adjacency. As of October 1, 2021, the cumulative COVID-19 mortality rate was 247.0 per 100,000 population in rural counties compared to 200.7 in urban counties. Higher COVID-19 mortality rates in rural counties are explained by lower average educational attainment and lower median household income. Within rural counties, mortality rates have been …


Factors Explaining Variations In Covid-19 Deaths In Rural America, Don E. Albrecht Jun 2022

Factors Explaining Variations In Covid-19 Deaths In Rural America, Don E. Albrecht

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, case and death rates from the disease in rural counties were significantly lower than in urban counties. This pattern changed during the summer and fall of 2020, and by December, death rates in rural counties were higher than in urban counties. This article uses data from the U.S. Census Bureau and voting and COVID-19 data from The New York Times to explore factors related to the increase in COVID-19 deaths in rural counties in the United States. Further analysis is conducted to understand variations in death rates across different types of rural counties. Multivariate regression …


Space, Place, And Covid-19: Introduction To The Special Issue, Vanessa Parks, Ronald E. Cossman, John J. Green Jun 2022

Space, Place, And Covid-19: Introduction To The Special Issue, Vanessa Parks, Ronald E. Cossman, John J. Green

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

The COVID-19 pandemic alerted the U.S. populace to spatial patterns of health outcomes. Trusted sources of information such as the Johns Hopkins University and The New York Times mapped COVID-19 indicators at the county-level, bringing widespread attention to the timing and clustering of case rates, mortality, and vaccine uptake. The severity of the pandemic has motivated the research community to share data and conduct analyses to illuminate and project trends that would be useful for healthcare providers and policy makers in their communities. This special issue of the Journal of Rural Social Sciences explores the roles space and place have …

Cherokee Concepts About Health And Healing, James Sarbaugh Jun 2022

Cherokee Concepts About Health And Healing, James Sarbaugh

Proceedings of the annual meeting of the Southern Anthropological Society

Health and well-being are maintained in traditional Cherokee communities by carefully balancing the social, and sacred, relationships between all spiritually significant beings, human or otherwise. An imbalance in these relationships results in ill health that affects the entire community. Balance is maintained or restored through ritual practice in which both women and men may play critical roles as trained specialists who rely on medicines, physical therapies, and ritual language and non-verbal means to communicate sacred knowledge. Practitioners must also constantly monitor, evaluate, and make use of new knowledge gained from the surrounding environment, employing methods that are intrinsically conservative, yet …


Reclaiming The Narrative: Creating And Sustaining Culturally Appropriate University Programs For American Indian Students, Trey Adcock Jun 2022

Reclaiming The Narrative: Creating And Sustaining Culturally Appropriate University Programs For American Indian Students, Trey Adcock

Proceedings of the annual meeting of the Southern Anthropological Society

Using Kirkness and Barnhardt’s (2001) Four R’s approach, the paper will demonstrate both successes and challenges in the development and implementation of sustainable programs for recruitment and retention of American Indian students at a Primarily White Institution of higher education. Historically, the University of North Carolina Asheville (UNC Asheville website, n.d.) has had very few continuous and concerted efforts to recruit, retain, and build relationships with the surrounding American Indian community. This can be seen most clearly in the current institutional data, which shows that the American Indian student population makes up only 0.005 percent of the total student community. …

The Art Of Anthropology At A College In Crisis: Exploring Some Effects Of Neoliberalism On Higher Education, Vincent H. Melomo Jun 2022

The Art Of Anthropology At A College In Crisis: Exploring Some Effects Of Neoliberalism On Higher Education, Vincent H. Melomo

Proceedings of the annual meeting of the Southern Anthropological Society

This chapter addresses the increasing pervasiveness of neoliberal ideologies in our culture and focuses on the implications of these ideologies for the future of anthropology in higher education. More specifically, the chapter considers how these ideologies pose a particular challenge to anthropology’s more humanistic dimensions, which include both the art of anthropology and an anthropology of art. Throughout the chapter, the author tells the story of how reductions were made recently to the anthropology program at his institution in response to converging economic crises. He analyzes the context of these changes and the process by which they were made in …
