International Nursing Research Congress (INRC)

Session presented on Saturday, July 26, 2014:

Introduction: This presentation describes how nurse practitioner (NP) education can be used to ameliorate the effects of health inequities in an urban area. In the United States (U.S.) minorities who reside in urban areas experience noticeable health inequities when compared with their white counterparts.

Early screening, detection and access to primary care services can make a significant difference in the quality and longevity of an individual's life. Nurse practitioners can ease the burden of …

Preventing Childhood Obesity: Strategies To Help Preschoolers Develop Healthy Eating Habits, Brent A. Mcbride, Dipti A. Dev

Department of Child, Youth, and Family Studies: Faculty Publications

DURING THE PAST THREE DECADES, childhood obesity rates increased dramatically in the United States. Despite new evidence suggesting a decrease in obesity rates in 2- to 5-year-olds during recent years (Ogden et al. 2014), the prevalence of obesity in this age group remains high and is a major concern for families and early childhood educators alike.

Researchers and policy makers now recognize the critical role of early childhood teachers in shaping children's eating habits through their mealtime interactions with children (Savage, Fisher, & Birch 2007). As a result, local, state, and federal entities have introduced obesity prevention programs in early …

Restraint And Seclusion Of Students With A Disability Continue To Be Common In Some School Districts Patterns Remain Relatively Consistent Despite Recent Policy Changes, Douglas J. Gagnon, Marybeth J. Mattingly, Vincent J. Connelly

Carsey Publications

In 2013, Carsey released a brief that analyzed rates of restraint and seclusion using a large, nationally representative data set of U.S. school districts. This brief, which analyzes a more comprehensive data set and the most current Civil Rights Data Collection, serves as a follow-up to the pre­vious brief. Authors Douglas Gagnon, Marybeth Mattingly, and Vincent Connelly report that, despite numerous states with revised policies related to seclusion and restraint in schools between 2009 and 2012, trends in the rates of restraint and seclusion of students with a disability in the United States remained relatively consistent between survey years.

An Examination Of Coalition Functioning And Use Of Evidence-Based Practices: A Case Study Of Four Community Substance Abuse Coalitions, Nichole M. Snyder

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

There has been a recent expansion of community-based coalitions to address issues related to youth substance use. Research on their overall effectiveness, however, has produced mixed results. Recommendations to improve coalition success have emphasized the high-quality implementation of evidence-based programs targeting specific community needs. Coalitions vary extensively, however, in their organization and functioning. In addition, the lack of a universally accepted theoretical framework to understand coalition functioning has led to inconsistencies in the coalition research and the specific constructs used to describe coalition functioning.

Purpose of the Study: To address these gaps, the current study used a case study approach …
