Social Work Observations In Santiago, Chile, Alana Jacowitz
Social Work Observations In Santiago, Chile, Alana Jacowitz
International Professional Development Partnerships (IPDP) Consortium
It is extremely important to understand the past 50 years of Chilean political history to grasp the strength, resilience, and community in Chile. In 1970, democratically-elected President Salvador Allende gained control of Chile. His government was overthrown in a military coup in 1973, led by General Augusto Pinochet. (It is worth noting here that the US government spent around $3 million campaigning against Allende, according to CBS). Allende died during the coup. The following 17 years of Pinochet’s dictatorship were marked by widespread human rights violations, including imprisonment, torture, and the disappearance of thousands of suspected opponents—many of whom were …

Examining Low Mammogram Rates In Native American Populations In Arizona And New Mexico, Mason Berges, Ayesha Ahmad
Examining Low Mammogram Rates In Native American Populations In Arizona And New Mexico, Mason Berges, Ayesha Ahmad
Scholarship in Medicine - All Papers
Introduction: Despite improvements in technology over the last several decades, breast cancer incidence and mortality rates have remained steady among the Native American population. This is in direct contrast to the general United States population which has seen substantial decreases in these incidence and mortality rates. A key factor in eliminating breast cancer and saving lives is undergoing mammogram screenings. While mammogram screenings are of crucial importance, many Native American women lack equitable access to healthcare resources and as a result face unnecessary health challenges. Several social determinants of health could be playing a key role in these mammogram screening …

Medical-Dental Integration: Dispatches From “Both Sides Of The Aisle”, Lisa Simon Md, Dmd
Journal of the American College of Dentists
In 1840, when Chapin Harris and three other physicians founded the first dental school in the United States, they could not have known that their intention to elevate the practice of dentistry and improve dental care would have such a dramatic unintended consequence: to wholly sever the educational connection between medicine and dentistry. Since then, differences in policy, funding, and self-regulation of medicine and dentistry have only forced the fields further apart. As an example, in 1958, the Joint Council to Improve the Healthcare of the Aged was founded by both the American Medical Association and the American Dental Association …

Technology-facilitated sexual violence (TFSV) is a pervasive issue, yet research on the availability, accessibility, and effectiveness of services for TFSV victimsurvivors remains limited, particularly in Canada. This qualitative study examines the state of service provision for TFSV in Nova Scotia, drawing on insights from 12 interviews with service providers specializing in sexual violence prevention and response. The study explores the availability and nature of services offered to TFSV victim-survivors and the key challenges faced by professionals in providing support. Thematic analysis highlights significant gaps in service provision, including a reliance on generalized approaches, restrictive eligibility criteria that exclude certain victimsurvivors, …

Reckoning With Social Policy In Utility Regulation, Alexandra B. Klass, Gabriel Chan
Reckoning With Social Policy In Utility Regulation, Alexandra B. Klass, Gabriel Chan
Articles
State public utility regulation in the energy sector is undergoing a rapid transformation driven by public and private investment in clean energy deployment, the corresponding threat to incumbent fossil fuel interests, and growing demands for energy justice. This transformation will impact many aspects of societal well-being—from energy insecurity in disadvantaged communities to dramatic shifts in energy-sector employment—so it is unsurprising that public utility commissions would engage with social policy concerns. However, for decades, state courts and utility stakeholders have admonished commissions that they are economic regulators and that their jurisdiction does not include social policy. This Article shows that state …
Sensory Need Or Treatable Behavior? Self-Stimulatory Behavior In Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Systematized Review, Anne Grace, Kathryne Brewer
Sensory Need Or Treatable Behavior? Self-Stimulatory Behavior In Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Systematized Review, Anne Grace, Kathryne Brewer
Honors Theses and Capstones
This study examined the current dialogue about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and
self-stimulatory behavior (stimming), based on a systematized literature review. Stimming is
often framed as a maladaptive or disruptive behavior that negatively impacts autistic individuals.
It is important to investigate whether these claims are supported by current research. The
following research question was used to guide this paper: How does current research on ASD
conceptualize stimming, as a form of sensory self-regulation or a treatable behavior?

Stress And Burnout Level Among Bhutanese Dentists And Medical Officers In Bhutan, Karma Zangmo
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Healthcare professionals, particularly dentists and physicians, are at high risk of stress and burnout due to long working hours, heavy workloads, clinical decision-making responsibilities, and the need for continuous knowledge updates. This study aimed to assess stress and burnout levels among Bhutanese dentists and physicians.

Stress was measured using the 14-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and burnout was assessed with the 22-item Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Among dentists, 97.8% reported stress, with 91.8% at moderate levels. Among …

Healing Communities With Police Divestment: Seeking Abolition Through Transformative Reform And Community-Government Collaboration, Jessica E. Gillson
Undergraduate Honors Theses
Concerns about the efficacy and sustainability of the U.S. carceral system have persisted throughout the country’s history, recently fueling renewed activism and bipartisan calls for reform. However, proposed solutions remain divisive. This thesis first defines the current status of our prison systems, then explores collaborative alternatives to incarceration and policing that support communities and break cycles of incarceration.
Focusing on partnerships among local governments, community organizations, justice-involved individuals, and law enforcement, this study examines holistic approaches to crime prevention, reentry, and reintegration. Using an interdisciplinary framework incorporating restorative justice, community resilience, and systems theory, it investigates how community-based strategies can …

Minorities in the foster care system experience an adverse childhood due to the systemic issues present within foster care.

The problems Latinx/Hispanic youth face are unique to this population in the areas of culture and policy. Disparities show that the current system does not utilize equitable practices and there is progress to be made with child welfare policies. The problem contributes to the social strains on Latinx/Hispanic youth, particularly immigrant youth, who face challenges related …

Sexualized Violence And Community Complicity In Rural Settings, Alex Neel
Sexualized Violence And Community Complicity In Rural Settings, Alex Neel
Undergraduate Scholarship
We know that sexualized violence is not only an individual act of harm, but a structural and cultural phenomenon. Living in a small, rural community, there are unique dynamics around sexualized violence due to structural barriers, limited anonymity, and social/cultural norms. How do these dynamics intersect with rape culture and community complicity?
