Independent Living and Community Participation

An Individual Education Plan (IEP) meeting is an opportunity to meet with the school team to build rapport, express appreciation, brainstorm ideas, and more. This conversation with teachers, school therapists, and parents might be just as important as what ends up in the actual document if it builds respect for you as a self-advocate.

The Links Between Relationship Maintenance Strategies And Psychological Well-Being In The Context Of Ambivalent Relationships, Stephen M. Yoshimura, Danielle Farley, Kellie Hofstetter, Hillary Loney, Randi Wichman

Communication Studies Faculty Publications

This study examined the extent to which maintaining ambivalent relationships with specific types of relationship maintenance behaviors relates to states of psychological distress and well-being. Survey data from 206 participants indicated that ambivalence toward a relationship partner associated with increased negative affect, and although ambivalence by itself did not relate to any specific relational maintenance behavior, the reported use of positivity to maintain such relationships inversely related to levels of negative affect and depression, whereas the use of openness related to increased levels of negative affect, increased depression, and reduced levels of overall life satisfaction. The results carry implications for …

“Identifying Skeletal Trauma Markers Associated With Intimate Partner Violence”, Haley K. Omeasoo

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is an issue that has been around for a very long time and needs to be put in the spotlight. When doing this study, we can keep in mind these different fracture types and how they may show up on an individual who was in an IPV situation. Also, since almost all of the samples presented in this study fall under the manner of death, “homicides,” and more specifically, under the category “beaten by an assailant,” we can treat these cases as such, in regards to being possible IPV situations. However, I have to mention that …

Antidepressants Reduce Silica Caused Inflammation In Lung Macrophages, Becky Kendall

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Chronic respiratory disease remains a leading cause of death around the world, and recent events have only increased respiratory disease concerns. As such, there is a growing need for effective therapeutics to combat these and other chronic diseases. While the discovery and design of new pharmaceuticals can be a lengthy process there is an abundance of FDA approved drugs that can be repurposed for use in other than their originally intended uses. For example, the use of anti-depressants has been proposed as a potential therapy for COVID after a study showed that patients regularly taking anti-depressants had fewer COVID-caused hospitalizations …

Genetic And Seasonal Determinants Of Vitamin D Status In Confederated Salish And Kootenai Tribes (Cskt) Participants, Jack W. Staples, Kathleen M. George, Rachel Dalton, Erin E. Ellerbeck, Genevieve Krause, Tianna Lietch, Theresa Aliwarga, Matthew G. Mcdonald, Brian Phillips, Leeanna I. Muzquiz, Deborah A. Nickerson, Timothy A. Thornton, Kenneth E. Thummel, Erica L. Woodahl

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Background: Vitamin D is a hormone produced in the skin upon ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation. Vitamin D is a crucial regulator of calcium and phosphate levels for bone mineralization and other physiological roles. Vitamin D levels vary globally in human populations due to genetics, geography, and other demographic factors. It is estimated that 20-85 % of the variability in vitamin D levels is driven by genetic variation. To improve our understanding of contributors to vitamin D levels, we conducted a candidate-gene study in partnership with the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT).

Methods: We recruited 472 CSKT study participants on …

Nurses’ Practices, Attitudes, And Beliefs Regarding Human Papillomavirus (Hpv) Vaccine: A Cross-Sectional State-Wide Survey Of Montana Nurses, Juthika J. Thaker

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, with 13 million new infections emerging every year, is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the US. About 10% of these infections persists, progressing to cause cancers. In previous research conducted in Montana, physicians and public health stakeholders identified greater parental/patient informational needs and limited time for vaccine discussions as barriers to HPV vaccination. Non-physician health care personnel, like nurses and medical assistants, could help bridge this gap and serve as vaccine champions. So far, majority of the studies focused on vaccine confidence among providers have primarily focused on physicians. Through this project …

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Purpose and Originality

Cyberbullying refers to when an individual or group harasses, mistreats, or mocks an individual or group using an electronic device in a way in which the victim(s) do not feel capable of responding or defending themselves (Whittaker & Kowalski, 2014). Cyberbullying is associated with symptoms of depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, substance use, delinquency, and poor academic performance (Zalaquett & Chatters, 2014).

The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible impact the COVID-19 pandemic may have had on cyberbullying. This study not only adds to the limited information concerning cyberbullying among college students, but also whether …

Inclusion In Theatre: The Melting Of Design And Acceptance, Kylie Lynn Mcdonald

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

The Inclusion in theatre is a research project I made in to expand the knowledge of relaxed shows within a performance art setting and how we can integrate relaxed shows in theatre for the inclusion of all.

Relaxed shows within theatre mean a performance that is sensory friendly performances, sometimes called relaxed performances alter the designs to be inclusive for all audience members including volume, lighting, and trigger warnings. Relaxed performances are needed within the theatre community to increase accessibility within performances and also within theatrical education settings as well.

The reason I wanted to make a research project, while …
