Implicit Bias In Speech-Language Pathology: A Journey Towards Inclusive Care, Jackie Sullivan

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

To gauge implicit bias in communication sciences and disorders (CSD), the proposed study aims to understand how identity as racial/ethnic or linguistic minority affects individuals’ diagnoses with speech-language disorders. In addition, we aim to see whether clinicians’ identities as black, indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) or non-standard language speakers affect their biases. Prior work has shown that clinicians' explicit racial biases affect patient care, matching expectations, but little work has examined bias of language variety spoken by patients or clinicians’ implicit biases. Many institutions fail to mandate cultural competency training, contributing to systemic issues. Our planned research explores and …

Anthropology On Social Media, Danielle Airola M.A.

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

In 2018, only about half of Americans (49%) agreed that “human beings, as we know them today, developed from earlier species of animals,” and 38% that “the universe began with a big explosion” (Besley and Hill, 2020). These basic facts may be well understood by the scientific and academic communities, but how do we go about disseminating this sort of knowledge to the general public? What about more nuanced and detailed information that may affect people’s understanding of our human heritage or health? Social media has great potential for increasing the reach and broadening the understanding of individuals. However, it …

A Qualitative Study Investigating Perinatal Mental Health Screening: “It’S Maternal Mental Health From A Mom’S Point Of View”, Tess A. Carlson, Jessica L. Liddell, Sarah Reese

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Purpose:

Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADS) affect approximately 1 in 3 birthing people in Montana, impacting parent-infant bonding and contributing to high rates of maternal suicide. 95-97% of birthing people suffering from PMADS do not reach full remission. This study investigates the barriers that prevent effective screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) for PMADS, from the perspective of birthing people in Montana. The results point to systems-level barriers and supports to SBIRT, and provide recommendations for improvements to the perinatal screening process.

Methods:

In 2021, I conducted semi-structured interviews with 10 people, who had given birth in …

Exploring How A State Professional Counseling Association Can Support Counselors In Meeting The Mental Health Needs Of Montanans, Cynthia R. Boyle

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

The development of counseling as a profession is notable, evolving as helpers responded to human needs in a variety of specialty areas and ultimately coalescing and conceptualized as a full, unique professional identity. While large national counseling associations support the counseling profession as a whole, there is scant research on the unique needs of counselors in a large, rural state like Montana. Counselors must keep abreast of current research on diagnosis and treatment, innovative clinical interventions and on legislative issues that impact their credentialing, reimbursement, and increasingly seek to determine who can and cannot receive counseling services.

This is an …

Analysis Of Invalid Vaccination Dose Administration Among U.S. Children: National Immunization Survey-Child 2011-2020, Alexandria N. Albers

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends that children receive multiple routine vaccinations to prevent infectious diseases, with most vaccinations requiring multiple doses. Vaccination series have minimum age and interval requirements, and doses provided outside recommended parameters are considered invalid and should be repeated. Our objective was to quantify the number of U.S. children ages 19-35 months who received invalid vaccination doses, those who had invalid vaccinations re-administered, and factors associated with receiving at least one invalid vaccination.

We analyzed provider-verified vaccination records from the 2011-2020 National Immunization Survey-Child to quantify the number of children with invalid vaccinations and …

The Sunflower Lemma, Ryan Wood

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Suppose everyone at Gradcon listed their top 5 favorite movies of all time. To save everyone the trouble of ranking, we'll assume the lists are unordered. Here's the question: how many lists do we need to guarantee we have three lists, any two of which share the exact same titles? For example, three lists that share nothing in common would satisfy our condition. It turns out that such an event is guaranteed if we have 3840 lists. This seems rather large, and is probably far too many, but trying to find a better upper bound has been a project of …

Introduction To The Special Issue: Responsible Ai In Libraries And Archives, Sara Mannheimer, Doralyn Rossmann, Jason Clark, Yasmeen Shorish, Natalie Bond, Hannah Scates Kettler, Bonnie Sheehey, Scott W.H. Young

Mansfield Library Faculty Publications

Librarians and archivists are often early adopters and experimenters with new technologies. Our field is also interested in critically engaging with technology, and we are well-positioned to be leaders in the slow and careful consideration of new technologies. Therefore, as librarians and archivists have begun using artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance library services, we also aim to interrogate the ethical issues that arise while using AI to enhance collection description and discovery and streamline reference services and teaching. The IMLS-funded Responsible AI in Libraries and Archives project aims to create resources that will help practitioners make ethical decisions when implementing …

Tiktok V. Montana - State Tiktok Ban Blocked By Court Based On Foreign Affairs Preemption, Anna C. Conley

Faculty Journal Articles & Other Writings

This article examines the U.S. District Court for the District of Montana's decision to preliminarily enjoin enforcement of Montana’s state law banning TikTok, citing foreign affairs preemption. The court found that the law conflicted with federal authority under the Defense Production Act (DPA), intruded upon the federal domain of foreign affairs, and violated the dormant foreign commerce clause. The case, now on appeal to the Ninth Circuit, highlights the tension between state-level regulation and federal control over foreign relations, particularly in the context of national security concerns surrounding Chinese-owned technology platforms. The article explores the legal arguments presented by TikTok …

Productive Struggle In Mathematical Modelling, Piera Biccard

The Mathematics Enthusiast

Productive struggle is an enigmatic concept in mathematics education. At first glance, the idea may be oxymoronic since the word struggle is not often associated with being productive. The two words may even seem counter-intuitive. The purpose of this article is to analyze productive struggle in the literature in order to better understand some if its essential features. The research method in this study is theoretical and includes a survey of relevant literature in mathematics and modelling education. This study attempts to explain the relationship between productive struggle and learning mathematics. Productive struggle can lead to enhanced mathematics understanding and …

Today’S Mathematics Student: Take Two, Carmen M. Latterell

The Mathematics Enthusiast

Current mathematics students are members of Generation Z, a generation proving to be quite different than previous ones. Generation Z has never known a time without Google, nor a time of safety. Generation Z has a declining tendency to even attend college. If they do attend college, their expectations need to be met to keep them engaged in mathematics. Professors will need to adjust pedagogy.
