Health Management & Policy

Professionals from many different disciplines are finding innovative ways to work together to increase physical activity to help create healthier communities.

A pedestrian plan is a public document that lays out a community’s vision for future pedestrian activity, identifies the actions required to realize that vision, ties actions to funding sources, and describes implementation and use.

Planning For Pedestrians And Bicyclists In North Carolina., Kelly R. Evenson, Semra Aytur, Daniel A. Rodriguez, Sara B. Satinsky

Health Management & Policy

Over the past decade, as obesity has continued to rise among both youth and adults, interest has grown in developing policies to promote community environments that support healthy lifestyles.1 A broad range of local, regional, state, and federal policies under the rubrics of active living, smart growth, and sustainable development share the underlying assumption that they can help people make healthier choices. From a transportation planning perspective, the benefits of pedestrian and bicycle plans resulting from the building of infrastructure to support pedestrian and bicycle travel include improved health (for example, through increased levels of physical activity and reduced obesity), …

Antidepressant-Induced Mania With Concomitant Mood Stabilizer In Patients With Comorbid Substance Abuse And Bipolar Disorder., Daniel Z Lieberman, George Kolodner, Suena H Massey, Kenneth P Williams

Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Faculty Publications

Antidepressant use in the treatment of bipolar disorder is controversial due the risks of affective switching and cycle acceleration. Studies of non-comorbid samples suggest that the risk can be mitigated with the use of a concomitant mood stabilizer. However, the majority of patients with bipolar disorder will experience a comorbid substance use disorder and little is known about these individuals because they are typically excluded from clinical trials. Patients entering a substance abuse treatment program who had a history of bipolar disorder were interviewed to evaluate antidepressant-induced affective switching with and without concomitant mood stabilizer. Among 41 comorbid participants, the …

Eminent Domain Power Granted To Private Pipeline Companies Meets With Greater Resistance From Property Owners In Urban Rather Than Rural Areas, John Allen Chalk Sr., Sadie Harrison-Fincher

Texas Wesleyan Law Review

Heightened drilling activity and pipeline construction in the more densely urbanized parts of the City of Fort Worth has exposed an increasing number of citizens to the condemnation process. Affected citizens have banded together to educate themselves on the eminent domain authority of private entities and have increasingly voiced their opposition to certain condemnation practices by pipeline companies. Pipeline companies have faced heightened resistance from urban citizens to acquiesce to their threats of condemnation. This paper outlines the major issues landowners face in condemnation and addresses legislation and other changes to the legal landscape of condemnation in Texas.
