Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The incidence of tick-borne zoonoses such as Ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and Lyme disease has steadily increased in the southeastern United States in recent years. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the southeastern states accounted for 1,200 of the 27,000 total cases of Lyme disease reported in the U.S. in 2007.

Chasms In Care: Implications Of A Disparate System On Childhood Obesity, Sara Dianne Miller
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects

This study examines the ethics and implications of the disparities that exists in our nation, as well as the role socioeconomic status plays in adolescent overweight and obesity and its primary behavior risk …
