Best Practices For Interprofessional, Community-Based Interventions In Preventing Type 2 Diabetes Among Adults Aged 50 And Older, Julie Joseph Mrs

Journal of Interprofessional Practice and Collaboration

The prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is rapidly increasing among adults aged 50 years and older in the United States, posing a significant public health challenge. In 2021, an estimated 38.4 million Americans had diabetes, with adults aged 50years and above constituting a disproportionately large segment of this population. Evidence suggests that community-based lifestyle and educational interventions are effective in reducing the risk of T2DM among older adults. These interventions particularly promote dietary modification, increased physical activity, and diabetes education. Integrating the expertise of nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, physicians, and other professionals through interprofessional collaboration strengthens diabetes prevention and …

Ai For Mental Health: A Design Science Approach, Amaya Ballard, Ewaoluwa Jaiyesimi

Symposium of Student Scholars

AI-based mental health chatbots are increasingly being introduced to expand access to psychological support, especially where stigma, cost, scheduling constraints, or limited availability make traditional therapy services difficult to use. Many people are beginning to turn to these tools for immediate, low-threshold assistance when experiencing stress or emotional distress. However, we still know relatively little about the situations in which individuals feel comfortable relying on AI for support, or when they would prefer human help instead, creating uncertainty about how such systems should be designed and deployed responsibly. This study examines how users evaluate AI-based mental health support compared with …

Exploring The Link Between Substance Use Severity And Self-Stigma: The Moderating Role Of Enacted Stigma, Alaya Shelton

McNair Culminating Research Projects

Self-stigma has been shown to negatively impact treatment engagement, recovery, and reintegration outcomes among individuals with substance use and criminal histories (Moore et al., 2023). Further, prior research has shown that markers of an individual’s substance use treatment history (e.g., number of prior treatment episodes and perceived substance use severity; Hammarlund et al., 2018; Luoma et al., 2012; Silveira et al., 2016) and negative experiences with medical professionals (Hoover et al., 2022; Muncan et al. 2020) are closely linked to self-stigma. While these factors independently contribute to one’s level of self-stigma, to our knowledge, no prior work has examined how …

Adaptive, Hardware-Aware Routing Of Ai Tasks Based On Semantic Complexity, Utkarsh Bhardwaj, Shivank Awasthi

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure describes an adaptive orchestration system that can dynamically route computational tasks to an appropriate backend, such as a local processor or a remote cloud service. The system can use a multi-objective optimization approach, balancing the semantic complexity of a given task, which may be estimated by a lightweight proxy model, against the real-time physical state of the device, including its thermal status, battery level, and network connectivity. This method of hardware-aware routing can proactively manage thermal loads and power consumption, which may improve operational efficiency and mitigate performance degradation associated with system-wide throttling on such devices.
