Background: Chronic disease accounts for nearly three-quarters of US deaths, yet prevalence rates are not consistently reported at the state level and are not available at the sub-state level. This makes it difficult to assess trends in prevalence and impossible to measure sub-state differences. Such county-level differences could inform and direct the delivery of health services to those with the greatest need.Methods: We used a database of prescription drugs filled in the US as a proxy for nationwide, county-level prevalence of three top causes of death: heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. We tested whether prescription data are statistically valid proxy …
Healing Each Other : A Qualitative Study Of Therapist Perspectives At An Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy Program In Boulder, Colorado : A Project Based Upon An Independent Investigation, Samantha Shalen Pugh
Healing Each Other : A Qualitative Study Of Therapist Perspectives At An Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy Program In Boulder, Colorado : A Project Based Upon An Independent Investigation, Samantha Shalen Pugh
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
This project utilized qualitative interviews to examine therapist perspectives at an Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) program in Boulder, Colorado. The program, called the HopeFoal Project, pairs rescue foals with high-risk teen girls; a reciprocal healing model is employed in which teen and foal are engaged in a parallel process of trust-building and healing from traumatic early experiences. The program is unique in its use of unpredictable or difficult horses in treatment, as well as in its use of a reciprocal healing model. Semi-structured, open-ended interviews were conducted with three program therapists to gain a better understanding of the program. Findings revealed …
The Relationship Between Pretend Play And Cognitive, Linguistic, And Social Skills Development In Early Childhood : A Project Based Upon Secondary Analysis Of Developmental Screening Data From An Elementary School In Plainfield, Connecticut, Lauren Ann Sebastianelli
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
There is substantial research to support the positive correlation between pretend play and cognitive, language and social skills development in early childhood. Most of this research has explored bivariate relationships. We know little about how these variables might co-vary in the same sample. This exploratory study was based on secondary analysis of developmental screening data for a preschool program in Connecticut. The sample was comprised of 79 three and four year-olds. Proxies for pretend play and cognitive, language and social skills development were operationalized from a standardized instrument, Developmental Indicators for the Assessment of Learning (DIAL) and a Social Skills …
The Role Of Neglect And Disordered Attachment In The Childhood Of Adolescent Male Sex Offenders : A Project Based Upon An Independent Investigation, Melissa Ann. Tell
The Role Of Neglect And Disordered Attachment In The Childhood Of Adolescent Male Sex Offenders : A Project Based Upon An Independent Investigation, Melissa Ann. Tell
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
Sexual abuse by adolescent males continues to be a serious problem that receives little recognition and attention in research. While a majority of sexual offenses are committed by adults, roughly 20% are committed by adolescents (Barbaree, 2006). Over 45% of adolescent males in residential treatment begin sexually deviant behaviors before the age of 12 (Burton, 2000). Similarly, while maltreatment and attachment is mentioned in research on adolescent sexual offenders, few researchers have studied the role of emotional and physical neglect on the lives of adolescent sexual offenders. In this sample physical abuse and poverty were both significant predicting the number …
The Relevance Of The Natural Environment To Social Work : A Comparison Of Fields That Consider The Natural Environment In Social Problems : A Project Based Upon An Independent Investigation, John D. Ritchie
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
Given the natural environment's importance to humans, this study was undertaken to understand how social work has considered the natural environment in approaching social problems compared to other fields that consider the natural environment. In addition, comparing literature from several fields, the author sought to evaluate the adequacy of social work's attention to the natural environment as the field analyzes and conceives solutions to social problems and carries out its mission. The study examined the gaps in social work literature regarding the natural environment. The author compared published literature from social work, psychology, environmental health and medicine, and environmentalism to …
No Inhiibitions, No Moral Sense, And No Social Structure : The Etiology Of The Psychopath And The Sociopath : A Project Based Upon Independent Investigation, Chad Melvin O'Brien
No Inhiibitions, No Moral Sense, And No Social Structure : The Etiology Of The Psychopath And The Sociopath : A Project Based Upon Independent Investigation, Chad Melvin O'Brien
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
Psychopathy and sociopathy are two personality disorders that are similar in action though different in origin. Whereas the psychopathic individual is a product of nature in that the origin of the social disorder originates in the mind, the sociopathic individual is a product of upbringing as sociopathy is more so a result of a learned/defensive behavior. Although the number is uncertain, there could be as many as ten million psychopathic and sociopathic people living in the United States today. This paper focuses on the etiology of both psychopathy and sociopathy. It also looks at how psychopathy and sociopathy are recognized …

Daddy's Little Girl Lost : Daughters Reflect On The Effects Of Father-Daughter Cut-Off : A Project Based Upon An Independent Investigation, Jana Michelle Rosenbaum
Daddy's Little Girl Lost : Daughters Reflect On The Effects Of Father-Daughter Cut-Off : A Project Based Upon An Independent Investigation, Jana Michelle Rosenbaum
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
This study was undertaken to better understand the dynamics occurring in the father-daughter relationship and consequently the effects on daughters when there is a cut-off between this dyad post-divorce. Much of the current research and literature available on the topics of father loss and divorce have been on father-child cut-off without a specific focus on the father-daughter relationship. Therefore, this study was designed to specifically focus on the effects of cut-off experienced by daughters. An in-depth qualitative interview was conducted with twelve adult daughters who identified having experienced a cut-off from their father post their parents divorce. These interviews contained …
Clinicians' Understanding And Perception Of Coping Behaviors And Cultural Differences In Families Dealing With A Childhood Cancer Diagnosis : A Project Based Upon An Independent Investigation, Kara J. Rule
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
This research provides insight into social workers' understanding and perceptions of coping behaviors in families faced with a pediatric cancer diagnosis. The three research questions that guided this study were: (1) Do clinicians observe/perceive cultural distinctions in coping behaviors among families dealing with a pediatric cancer diagnosis? (2) How does a clinician's own culture impact his or her assessments of a family's coping abilities? and (3) How can clinicians gain better cultural sensitivity and cultural competence in working with diverse populations? Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 social workers who were working in pediatric oncology centers across the United States. …

Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
The purpose of this qualitative, exploratory study was to identify and examine barriers that impact social workers' capacity to provide end-of-life care to biopsychosocially, spiritually vulnerable inmates. The study was guided by the research question, What barriers impact social workers' capacity to provide end-of-life care to inmates? A sample of 12 master's-level social workers was recruited and interviewed. The sample consisted of ten women, two men, and one person of color. Participants in the sample worked in seven correctional institutions, in seven states, at the federal, state and county level. The study's findings indicate that at each of these levels, …
Anxiety And Depression : Exploring Associations With Suicidality : A Thesis Based Upon An Investigation In The Burlingame Center For Psychiatric Research And Education At The Institute Of Living (Hartford, Ct) In Collaboration With Dr. Stephen Woolley, Monica Marie Tronsky
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
The purpose of this study was to examine if anxiety diagnoses were associated with increased risk for suicidality and to examine if comorbid anxiety and depression diagnoses have a synergistic effect on suicidality. In a sub-analysis, we assessed associations between anxiety and/or depression symptoms (versus diagnoses) with suicidality in order to inform a future study. Completed at the Burlingame Center for Psychiatric Research and Education at the Institute of Living (IOL) in Hartford, CT, this quantitative, cross-sectional study involved 20,823 adult inpatients admitted for psychiatric care from 2000-2009. Estimates of effects calculated were odds ratios (ORs) qualified at 95% confidence …

Development And Alcohol Use In College Age Women : An Exploratory Study : A Project Based Upon An Independent Investigation, Megan Burke Willey
Development And Alcohol Use In College Age Women : An Exploratory Study : A Project Based Upon An Independent Investigation, Megan Burke Willey
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
This study explores the role of alcohol in college age women along specific developmental transitions. Alcohol use and abuse is rampant on college campuses nationwide yet most students discontinue such use with the onset of adulthood. Given this high period of use in young adults, this research attempts to clarify which areas of development that alcohol may effect and how. Thirteen women who graduated from a four year college or university within the past 5 years were interviewed regarding their alcohol use and experiences amid specific developmental processes. A structured alcohol use questionnaire assessed participants' typical consumption during college years …

This study investigated the experiences, motivations, and perceptions of groupies in folk rock music culture. Through qualitatively collected data, it explored the phenomenological impacts of women following male folk rock musicians. It brought to light women's perspectives on their roles as groupies, and what their family backgrounds and earlier experiences in relationships looked like. It also explored how their experiences with folk rock music affected or influenced their emotional states. Females who self-identified as women in folk rock music culture ranging in ages from 18-35 were recruited from the Northampton and Boston area in Massachusetts. Eight women in folk rock …
The Use Of Dialectical Behavior Therapy For Treating Juvenile Delinquents : How Mindfulness Mediates Trauma Symptomatology And Reduces Anti-Social Behavior, Ashley Emma Sitkin
The Use Of Dialectical Behavior Therapy For Treating Juvenile Delinquents : How Mindfulness Mediates Trauma Symptomatology And Reduces Anti-Social Behavior, Ashley Emma Sitkin
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
Youth within the U.S. juvenile justice system are among the most traumatized. There is a need for trauma sensitive treatment in order to address the mental health needs of traumatized, delinquent youth and prevent re-traumatization within the juvenile justice system. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a promising treatment for juvenile delinquents with trauma histories. This thesis posits that DBT for delinquent youth supports rehabilitation through the mechanism of mindfulness by targeting posttraumatic stress reactions, which in turn may reduce anti-social behaviors. A review of the literature appears to support the hypothesis that through decreased experiential avoidance and enhanced emotional regulation …
Eating Disorder Prevention For The College-Age Female Population : Past, Present, And Future : A Project Based Upon An Independent Investigation, Colleen Louise Roos
Eating Disorder Prevention For The College-Age Female Population : Past, Present, And Future : A Project Based Upon An Independent Investigation, Colleen Louise Roos
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
The focus of this theoretical study is to examine, classify, and compare different eating disorder prevention/intervention programs used thus far for college-age females using two different theoretical frameworks: the Cognitive Behavioral model and the Sociocultural model. The prevalence and effects of eating disorder behaviors will be addressed. Strengths and weaknesses of each of the already developed programs will be addressed using these two theoretical models. Additionally, different factors/variables will be analyzed that have been found to be associated with eating disorder behaviors within this population. Using the information provided, a prevention program will be proposed that collaborates the strengths discussed …
Transitions In Parenting Among Somali Refugee And Immigrant Families : Acculturation In The U.S. And The Preservation Of Traditional Culture And Values : A Project Based Upon An Independent Investigation, Judith Louise Wolf
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
This qualitative study explores the changing experience of family life, acculturation, and preservation of traditional collectivist culture among Somali refugee and immigrant parents raising children in the United States. Resettlement in the U.S. forced many Somali refugees to transition to a new individualistic culture of family values markedly different from their own. Nine Somali refugee and immigrant mothers and fathers residing in Connecticut and western Massachusetts participated in the research. They answered open-ended interview questions focusing on the following topics: 1) Somali parenting styles and values, 2) the preservation of Somali language, identity, and Islam, 3) changes in family systems, …

The Economic Impact Of The Green Certificate Market Through The Macro Multiplier Approach, Maurizio Ciaschini, Francesca Severini, Claudio Socci, Rosita Pretaroli
Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers
In the last decade, as many other European countries, the Italian Government adopted several reforms in order to increase the use of Renewable Energy Sources (RES). The liberalization of the electricity market that represents one of these reforms aims to reach environmental benefits from the substitution of fossil fuel with renewable sources. The Italian Green Certificate market was introduced in 2002 in order to accomplish this objective and represents a mechanism where a quota of renewable electricity is imposed to suppliers in proportion to their sales. The electricity industries are obliged to meet this condition by producing the quantity of …

An Exploration Of Psychopathy Amongst Juvenile Sex Offenders, Laura Margaret Morrell
An Exploration Of Psychopathy Amongst Juvenile Sex Offenders, Laura Margaret Morrell
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
Despite the growing body of knowledge regarding psychopathy among adolescent sex offenders, additional research is still necessary. In this study I examine four measures of juvenile psychopathy (Childhood Psychopathy Scale, Antisocial Process Screening Device, Millon Adolescent Clinical Inventory, and Inventory of Callous and Unemotional Traits) in a sample of 191 incarcerated adolescent sex offenders located in juvenile detention facilities in a Midwestern state. I examine how the diverse scales relate to characteristics of sexual aggression and non-sexual criminality, and which scale specifically has the best predictive validity for sexual as well as non-sexual crime. Of the four instruments and nine …
