Developing Self-Determination Through Physical Activity Courses In Inclusive Post-Secondary Education Programs, Shannon P. Zimmerman, Samantha Ross-Cypcar, Peter R. Giacobbi, Lesley Cottrell, Emily Murphy, Andrea Taliaferro, Jeanette Garcia

Developmental Disabilities Network Journal

Adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) often experience low physical activity levels, with only 23% meeting recommended guidelines, increasing their risk for secondary health conditions. Inclusive Post-Secondary Education (IPSE) programs in the U.S. present an opportunity for physical activity promotion. This study examined physical activity strategies across a national sample of IPSE programs (n = 27) using a sequential mixed-method approach, including surveys and follow-up interviews, focusing on alignment with Self-Determination Theory (SDT). While 70.37% of programs offered formalized physical activity courses, all promoted physical activity informally. Common practices included peer mentorship (96.3% of programs), goal setting (100%), and …

Measuring Disability Prevalence In Healthcare: A Study Comparing Two Disability Measures, Kristen L. Milefchik, Rhonda K. Dailey, Sharon Milberger

Developmental Disabilities Network Journal

People with disabilities experience significant health disparities and interventions are needed to address them. Measuring disability prevalence is an essential aspect of designing effective, data-driven healthcare strategies. Accurately measuring disability prevalence is challenging given disability is a complex phenomenon, with biological, social, environmental, and cultural components. Previous studies have compared a variety of disability status measurements and found that measurements were incongruent with each other. This study examines the concordance between disability status using two different measures: the nationally recognized American Community Survey (ACS-6) functional difficulty questions and one disability identity question. We used data from 3,621 adult patients participating …

Construction Of A Geiger-Müller Counter, Katie Siobhan Bennett, Benjamin Allen Murdoch

Undergraduate Research and Engagement Symposium

Our investigation describes the construction of a Geiger-Müller Counter from an Arduino Uno kit. With the use of some resistors, a breadboard, DC powersource and a Geiger tube, and other miscellaneous supplies, we were able to not only physically build the circuitry for the Geiger-Müller Counter, but we were also able to program it to produce sounds, lights, and a display screen to show the count rate of the sources used. This investigation allowed for a comparison between our system and an industrial-grade counter, as well as demonstrated the simplicity of creating expensive equipment with accessible and affordable materials.

Innovative Framework And Checklist For Enhancing Interprofessional Education: A Literature Review Of Program Design, Delivery, And Outcome Measurement, Stacy Castronova, Lori Rainchuso

Journal of Innovation in Health Sciences Education

Introduction: This dual-focused study aimed (1) to conduct a comprehensive literature review of interprofessional education (IPE) initiatives across health disciplines to examine collaboration patterns, delivery methods, validated assessment tools, and outcome measures and (2) to develop an evidence-informed framework and checklist, based on the findings and identified gaps, to improve the standardization and reporting of IPE programs.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across three professional databases, targeting peer-reviewed publications from 2012 to 2024. Inclusion criteria prioritized studies that provided detailed descriptions of IPE intervention delivery, utilized validated measurement tools, and demonstrated participant engagement to ensure the selection …

Preventative Healthcare With Wings, Ella Bruzek

Research Symposium

Vultures are the most important scavenger species on Earth. They fill a critical niche for ecological and public health by rapidly locating and consuming carrion that may otherwise contaminate soil and water sources, allow for an increase in populations of mammalian scavengers, and lead to disease outbreaks. Vulture populations worldwide are declining. Of the six vulture species in South Africa, all species are classified as either vulnerable, endangered, or critically endangered. Ongoing threats such as black market activity, poisoning, and other forms of poaching continue to drive this population loss. This is frightening considering that in South Asia, where vulture …
