The Impact Of Community Violence Exposure On The Health Behaviors And Health Service Utilization Among High-Risk Black Men, Paris Willis
The Impact Of Community Violence Exposure On The Health Behaviors And Health Service Utilization Among High-Risk Black Men, Paris Willis
Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations
This qualitative study explored the lived experience of high-risk Black men exposed to community violence in hopes of understanding their health challenges and behaviors in highly violent communities. Eleven Black men considered high-risk participated in the study through individual semi-structured interviews addressing the research questions below:1. How do high-risk Black men perceive community violence? 2. How do high-risk Black men maintain their health residing in high violent communities? 3. How do high-risk Black men in high violent communities utilize healthcare? 4. Do high-risk Black men exposed to community violence trust healthcare providers? Community violence exposure is a complex multilayered topic …
We Made It. Now What? A Qualitative Case Study Exploring How The Transition Of Black Men To A Historically Black Community College Is Influenced By Orientation 101, Eric R. Agee Jr.
Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations
A gap in achievement among Black men who pursue post-secondary education remains. Many Black men start their college education at community colleges, but little is known about their experiences at Historically Black Community Colleges (HBCCs). The purpose of this dissertation of practice was to gain insights into the influence of College 101, also labeled Orientation to College 101 (ORI 101), on the transition of Black men to an HBCC. I utilized a qualitative case study design. The main data source were 15 semi-structured interviews, which were supplemented with closed-ended student survey responses on the ORI 101 course evaluation and the …

This qualitative case study explored self-efficacy and sense of belonging among African American males who participated in Men of Vision and their perception of community college. Ten students of the community college participated in the study through individual, in-depth interviews with the participants addressing three primary research questions: 1) How did being a member of an organization change your perception of higher education, specifically community colleges? 2) How did Men of Vision help you gain a sense of belonging on a college campus? 3) What did you learn about yourself while being a member of Men of Vision? The focus …
Validation Of Prmr Equations In A Non-Caucasian Sample – Ethnicity As A Variable In Predicting Resting Metabolic Rate, Erin N. Bannister
Validation Of Prmr Equations In A Non-Caucasian Sample – Ethnicity As A Variable In Predicting Resting Metabolic Rate, Erin N. Bannister
Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations
This study intends to identify a predictive resting metabolic rate (pRMR) equation that is predictive of the measured resting metabolic rate (mRMR) in a sample that includes a group of Black Americans. The handful of commonly used pRMR equations, such as the Mifflin- St. Jeor or Harris-Benedict equations, were created without defining the demographics of their populations, while validation of these equations is typically done with almost exclusively Caucasian subjects. Black and brown Americans require the same evidence of precision in predictions of daily energy needs as Caucasian Americans. When applied to non-Caucasian samples, these equations appear in the literature …
