Levin Analyzes The Life, Work Of Artists., Aldemaro Romero Jr.

Publications and Research

For many, the history of art is a recounting of names and dates. For Dr. Gail Levin, it is about the human stories behind great pieces of art. “I became in- terested in art because my mother had gone to art school and her parents made her drop out, because they thought art was sinful,” says this native of Atlanta, Georgia. The reason was that, as orthodox Jewish immigrants, her grandparents became alarmed when her mother began winning prizes for painting male nudes.

Levin not only de ed her grandparents’ traditions but took her studies very seriously, thanks to her …

Qualitative Health Research Involving Indigenous Peoples: Culturally Appropriate Data Collection Methods, Amy L. Wright, Olive Wahoush, Marilyn Ballantyne, Chelsea Gabel, Susan M. Jack

The Qualitative Report

Historically, health research involving Indigenous peoples has been fraught with problems, including researchers not addressing Indigenous research priorities and then subsequently often failing to utilize culturally appropriate methods. Given this historical precedence, some Indigenous populations may be reluctant to participate in research projects. In response to these concerns, the Government of Canada has developed the Tri-Council Policy Statement (TCPS2): Research Involving the First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples of Canada, which stipulates the requirements for research collaborations with Indigenous communities. Utilizing this policy as an ethical standard for research practices, this paper describes, critiques and synthesizes the literature on culturally …

Inside The Black Box: A Qualitative Evaluation Of Participants’ Experiences Of A Drug Treatment Court, Sarah Kuehn, Rebecca Ridener

The Qualitative Report

This study examined the program experiences of participants in a Drug Treatment Court located in Pennsylvania. In-depth interviews were used to investigate participants’ perceptions in regards to program components that aid them in the recovery process and challenges they face while completing the program. Results from the 16 interviews indicate that participants contribute their success in the program to its strict structure, accountability, and dedicated staff who buy into the court’s underlying principles of therapeutic jurisprudence. Implications for other drug treatment courts are discussed.

Empirical Studies Concerning The Relationship Between Knowledge Management And Effective Performance In Small- And Medium-Sized Enterprises: Selected Preliminary Results, Krzysztof Brzostek, Anna Michna

European Management Studies

The article presents the preliminary results of empirical studies concerning the relationship between knowledge management and effective performance in small and medium enterprises. A total of 120 small- and medium-sized companies from the Lower Silesian Voivodeship [province] underwent study. Quantitative research was carried out. Detailed analysis of topical literature allowed the author to design a research tool for two groups – owners/managers and employees of small- and medium-sized companies. Pilot studies allowed further development of this tool. Relevant quantitative empirical studies have shown that knowledge management in terms of market orientation is a determinant of the growth and development of …

Camp Paws: A Positive Alternative To Suspensions In Early Elementary, Julie Boyd

Georgia Association for Positive Behavior Support Conference

Our schools report increasingly extreme and problematic behavior in our earliest grades. As early school expectations increase and teacher pressure mounts we are often at a loss when students enter school without basic social, emotional, and behavioral school readiness skills. Schools had the sole option of within-classroom interventions that often left the teacher and student frustrated and frequently resulted in suspensions. Further, some children prefer to be sent home, causing them to increase and escalate their problematic behavior on a regular basis. Appropriate school behavior is impossible to teach if the student is not in school!

These extreme behavior problems …

Evidence Based Protocol: Improving Depression Assessments In Primary Care, Katherine E. Hoffhines

Master's Projects

Depression is a destructive condition that can have a profoundly negative impact on quality of life, wellbeing, and health (Thase, Stowell, Berry, Mencia & Blum, 2014). Worldwide, depression is the leading cause of medical disability costing the health care system over $210 billion annually (World Health Organization, 2014; Greenberg, Fournier, Sisitsky, Pike & Kessler, 2015). The World Health Organization (2016) estimates depression affects 350 million people of all ages globally. One and three adults in the U.S. will experience a major depressive episode during their lifetime (Kessler, Petukhova, Sampson, Zaslavsky & Wittchen, 2012; Rubin, Ciechanowski, Egede, Lin & Lustman, 2004). …

Mental Illness In Starkville, Ms: A Cultural Consensus Analysis Of The Public Conceptions Of Mental Illness, Curtis Andrew Kennett

Theses and Dissertations

Mental illness is a complex phenomenon that is social and psychological as well as biological. But since the creation of the DSM-III in the 1980s, the landscape of mental health research and treatment in the United States has been heavily influenced by the biomedical model. The thoughts and beliefs of the lay public about mental illness are often ignored despite the push for greater cultural understanding among biomedical professionals. This disconnect, coupled with the poor mental health infrastructure, has left Mississippi with an inadequate ability to help Mississippians address mental illness. This research uses cognitive anthropological methods and biocultural theory …

50 Years After The War On Poverty: Successes Should Inspire The Next Bold Steps For Poor Children, Olivia Golden

Journal of Applied Research on Children: Informing Policy for Children at Risk

Safety net programs emerging from the War on Poverty and later antipoverty efforts such as Head Start, Medicaid, the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), among others have reduced poverty, and strengthened longer-term outcomes for poor children, leading to better health and greater economic success into adulthood. Unfortunately, despite the strong positive effect of these public programs, the poverty rate is still too high, particularly among America’s next generation of children and young adults. Struggling with economic insecurity is now a typical experience for America’s next generation, with the overwhelming majority of low-income households …

Trends In Child Poverty By Race/Ethnicity: New Evidence Using An Anchored Historical Supplemental Poverty Measure, Laura Nolan, Irwin Garfinkel, Neeraj Kaushal, Jaehyun Nam, Jane Waldfogel, Christopher Wimer

Journal of Applied Research on Children: Informing Policy for Children at Risk

Official poverty statistics have been criticized, however, for being based on an outdated measure of poverty (Blank, 2008; Citro and Michael, 1995). First put into use in the 1960s, the official poverty measure’s (OPM) concept of needs has been updated for inflation but still reflects the living standards, family budgets, and family structures of that time. Moreover, when tallying family resources, the OPM misses key government programs such as Food Stamps and tax credits that have expanded since the 1960s. For these reasons, the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) implemented an improved “supplemental poverty measure” (SPM) …
