Mental and behavioral ill-health are growing global problems and while there are promising evidence-based approaches aimed at reducing their impact, availability of services varies greatly, not only across nations, but also between urban, regional, and remote locations. Rural areas face accessibility and acceptability challenges related to mental health services that are similar to barriers experienced in developing countries. Initiatives to address mental health challenges in under-served rural areas can inform global mental health strategies.

Qualitative Study Of Realistic Fiction Subject Headings In A Middle School Library, Kathleen Michaelson

Graduate Research Papers

The purpose of this study was to explore the variety of realistic fiction topical subject headings in a middle school library compared to the language commonly used by adolescents in their catalog searches. The research sought to find which topics were most popular among adolescents reading contemporary realistic fiction, how well BISAC tags correspond with Sears subject headings, and how teacher librarians can improve catalog searches for students. This summative analysis examined existing documents to find the frequencies of the various Sears/BISAC subject headings and analyzed the similarities and differences between the two. The study found a wide range of …

"Let's Make 'Em Squeal" And "Mitch, That's Not How You Hold A Gun": Allison Lundergrun Grimes And Joni Ernst's Faux Feminine Performance In 2014 Senate Ads, J. Scott Smith

Iowa Journal of Communication

This analysis examines gendered scripts used by U.S. Senate candidates Joni Ernst and Alison Lundergan Grimes in their political ads during the 2014 midterm election. Adapting Gibson and Heyse's (2010) approach to examining gendered scripts, this article found that both Ernst and Grimes relied on masculine scripts that undermined the feminine appeals they used and reinforced hegemonic ideology. While employing a similar mix of gendered scripts that included emasculating their opponents, the candidates differed in their electoral success. Ernst's political ads remained ideologically consistent with the Republican Party's ideals and she won her race by nine points. In contrast, Grimes's …

Communication Privacy Management In Senior Citizen Romantic Relationships, Jessica M. W. Kratzer

Iowa Journal of Communication

The current study was designed to overcome some of the limitations of current research by conducting interviews with 23 senior citizens, aged 77- 93, who were in romantic relationships and lived in senior citizen apartment complexes. Using Communication Privacy Management Theory (Petronio, 2002), the results explore issues of privacy and their effects on sexual communication in senior citizen romantic relationships. One major theme emerged: the dialectical tension of openness and closedness (Baxter & Montgomery, 1996). This theme was broken down into four subthemes (creating openness, closedness through lack of communication, the private stays private, and it's private but l'll tell …

Parent Perspectives On Inclusive Bookclubs, Amy Bucciferro

Graduate Research Papers

An inclusive book club was created to examine the effectiveness of incorporating literacy enhancing techniques and art to aid comprehension.

Two parents were interviewed after their child participated in a 3-month book club. The significance of this study is to show educators and families the benefits of having their children participate in inclusive environments. The study also explored how inclusive book clubs can benefit students with different comprehension levels and how families viewed the outcome of …
