Factors Associated With Telemedicine Usage And Acceptance Pre- And Since Covid-19, Shivangi Sinha
Factors Associated With Telemedicine Usage And Acceptance Pre- And Since Covid-19, Shivangi Sinha
Calvert Undergraduate Research Awards
The COVID-19 pandemic has acted as a catalyst for telemedicine uptake among healthcare providers and patients. Prior research rarely has examined the lack of patient uptake of telemedicine. Known systemic barriers to accessing telemedicine in the U.S. before the COVID-19 pandemic may play a large role in its uptake. The purpose of this study is to assess the factors associated with the usage and acceptance of telemedicine pre- and since the COVID-19 pandemic. In this cross-sectional study, data was collected from persons residing within the U.S. who are 18 years of age or older using an online survey. Using an …
The Aftermath Of Sexual Assault: Creating The "I Am More Than My Experience" Workbook, Isabella Chung
The Aftermath Of Sexual Assault: Creating The "I Am More Than My Experience" Workbook, Isabella Chung
Calvert Undergraduate Research Awards
The following thesis includes a literature review of the immediate and long-term effects of sexual assault on victims in regards to their physical, mental, and emotional health and romantic relationships, followed by a proposed workbook for sexual assault victims/survivors. Being that typical responses immediately after an assault are fear, disbelief, and activation of the sympathetic nervous system, it is to no surprise that long term issues of depression, anxiety, and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) often arise as well. Thus, a workbook was created with the intention of educating readers about sexual assault and helping victims/survivors to heal from the trauma …
Addressing The Ecological Fallacy With Lagrangian Inference, Michael Schwob
Addressing The Ecological Fallacy With Lagrangian Inference, Michael Schwob
Calvert Undergraduate Research Awards
Most epidemiologists elect to use statistical models that use population-level data to make inference on the spread of some virus or disease. This has become commonplace in the fields of epidemiology and biostatistics since most data used to construct and verify epidemic models are recorded at the population-level. Obtaining inference from a population-level model may be beneficial in studying the spread of disease in a homogeneous population, but the use of such models to describe a heterogeneous population results in inadequate inference. The inaccuracy of these models is further amplified when one tries to make individual-level inference from these population-level …
Comics For Pediatric Oncology Patients And Families: Education And Empowerment, Natalie Johns
Comics For Pediatric Oncology Patients And Families: Education And Empowerment, Natalie Johns
Calvert Undergraduate Research Awards
The major objective is to develop the first book of a boxed set series of comic vignettes that will serve as a clinical educational tool for pediatric patients with a recent cancer diagnosis and their caregivers. These comics are hypothesized to improve patient and family understanding of the disease, its treatment, side effects, and outcomes in an engaging and aesthetically pleasing way. The overall goals of this project are to reduce anxiety and increase health literacy in patients and their families while assisting the oncology team in providing optimal medical care, thus improving the overall quality of treatment. Comics aimed …
Factors Associated With Prep And Pep Uptake Among The Latinx Population, Santiago Gudiño-Rosales, Melva Thompson-Robinson, Johanna Andrews
Factors Associated With Prep And Pep Uptake Among The Latinx Population, Santiago Gudiño-Rosales, Melva Thompson-Robinson, Johanna Andrews

Advanced Undergraduate Winner
Uptake of PrEP and PEP amongst LatinX population has been low, despite being a population disproportionately affected by HIV. Systemic barriers and cultural factors affect general LatinX approaches to healthcare and may impact uptake of these medications. The purpose of this study is to assess the factors that are associated with the likelihood to take PrEP and PEP in the LatinX population. In this cross-sectional study, survey data was collected from 169 LatinXs from January - March 2020. Using the Sexual Health Model as the theoretical framework, the survey examined the following four constructs to identify factors …

Nevada’S Secret Killer: Opioid Deaths, Vanessa Marie Booth
Calvert Undergraduate Research Awards
Emerging Scholars Winner
Presented in this study is an analysis of the Nevada opioid crisis and how a viable solution can impact its severity. It does so in a public policy environment while synthesizing outside sources to support the presented claims. The scope of this study is to present a problem, cause, solution scenario on how to solve this policy problem. This study also takes into consideration Nevada’s current economic state amid the coronavirus (COVID-19). In addition, this analysis also addresses the history behind the opioid epidemic across the United States and how it is impacting Nevada in present times. …
Testosterone And The Adult Male, Alex Straftis
Testosterone And The Adult Male, Alex Straftis
Calvert Undergraduate Research Awards
Abstract
In the last 15 years, prescription testosterone sales have increased almost threefold. Testosterone is a powerful hormone, which has both physiological and behavioral effects on the adult male. These effects vary over a man’s life course and social ecology. In a natural setting, testosterone reaches a peak during early adulthood, declines gradually over midlife, and has exponential drops after the age of 70. Increasing testosterone, through testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), past early adulthood, is an evolutionary novel circumstance for an adult male. To gauge these effects, and the motivations that initiated them, this study conducted a preliminary text analysis …
An Integrative Neurological Model For Basic Observable Human Behavior, Ryan M. Francis
An Integrative Neurological Model For Basic Observable Human Behavior, Ryan M. Francis
Calvert Undergraduate Research Awards
The scientific method uncovers information from the natural world in small increments. This spurs the design of models to explain how the pieces fit together and to identify future targets of research. This is especially the case in psychology, where visualizing concepts is an advantageous practice. One all too common criticism of cognitive and behavioral models in psychology is the lack of a biological basis. This paper aims to alleviate part of this issue by integrating currently understood biological and neurological mechanisms that drive psychological phenomena into a predictive and descriptive model for basic human behavior. To accomplish this task, …
