▼ This paper employed a quantitative content analysis of the messages posted to a public Facebook page about smoking cessation. The study's population consisted of posts from October and November of 2010, from which a two-week constructed sample was drawn. The sample yielded 118 threads made up of 344 individual posts for analysis. Within the sample, 98 individuals (35 men, 54 women, 9 unidentifiable) served as the unit of analysis. This research explored the types of messages posted on Facebook to see if participants acted in line with gender norms for communicating online and about health. The types of support explored through the posts were informational, esteem and emotional. Results showed that men and women acted differently on the page than traditional gender norms would predict. Specifically, men and women posted to the page at similar rates and both groups used informational support more often than esteem support or emotional support. Smoking status was related to page use; the most active individuals posting to the page were recent quitters and they had a tendency to use informational and esteem support more often than emotional support. Participants also used Facebook's "like" function more often than posting messages containing overt support.

▼ This thesis consists of two documents that describe different aspects of a broader project with the ultimate goal of connecting children and their families to nature. The first paper addresses the integration of technology and knowledge about people's wildlife value orientations (WVO's) to influence participation in nature programs. While a domination orientation defines wildlife primarily as a resource to be used and managed for human benefit, a mutualism orientation perceives wildlife as capable of relationships of trust with humans and as life forms deserving of rights and caring. These different orientations have different implications for response to wildlife issues and for participation in wildlife-related recreation. The mixed-methods study included survey data acquired from a sample of residents (n = 282) from Wake County, North Carolina and a subset of that sample that subsequently participated in focus groups and a pilot program about box turtle tracking using radio telemetry. Results indicated that interest in nature and nature programs incorporating technology was positive among all WVO segments - though the motivation for that interest was different for the distanced WVO group - and that the use of technology in nature programs can facilitate positive, nature-focused experiences for families. This research represents a step in developing methods for integrating technology into optimal programs directed towards segments of society with specific WVO's. The second paper examines the incorporation of Environmental Education (EE) into an after-school program in the Bronx, New York City. In this qualitative case study, focus group interviews were conducted to first determine parent and educator interest in and barriers to participation in nature programs and incorporation of EE into the curriculum. Interest level was high and a series of trainings in EE were conducted and evaluated. Findings reveal that some of the barriers to incorporating EE were only perceived barriers and successful integration is possible as long as interest and motivation is present. Staff showed significant confidence and ability to teach EE in there program after minimal training and were motivated to continue with the curriculum due to strong support from the students and parents. Methods from this study for effective incorporation of EE into an existing curriculum could be modeled in both the formal and non-formal classroom.

▼ Eating disorders affect women all over the world, particularly adolescents, at a rate which has grown in the last several decades. As obesity becomes one of the most battled health risks, those seriously underweight are ignored, praised, and/or forgotten, and as the fear of obesity grows, so does the incidence and prevalence of eating disorders. Previous research on eating disorders has focused on the family system and/or the mother-daughter dyad for their etiological significance, but relatively little attention has been given to the father's place in the family system or the father-daughter dyad in this context. Using Bronfenbrenner's (1979) ecological model as a lens, this thesis expands the literature of eating disorders by asking questions about the father-daughter relationship and the father's role(s) in the development, maintenance, and recovery of their daughter's eating disorder experiences. Narrative interviews, which record daughters' perceived experiences of the father-daughter relationship in the context of their eating disorders, were collected from women who self-identify as having an eating disorder. Analysis of the daughters' narrative accounts reveals six themes that define the father-daughter relationship and daughters' experiences of their eating disorders. Throughout the narratives, daughters communicatively construct their relationships with their fathers through the dialectical tensions of closeness/distance and openness/closedness. Interestingly, daughters do not communicatively construct their relationships with their fathers based on interactions about food, weight, or appearance but rather around issues of quality interactions, support, and closeness, as daughters construct the father-daughter relationship as an evolving emotional experience. Eating disorders, then, are perceived as relational artifacts of the father-daughter relationship, marking certain relational turning points. Within the narratives, fathers potentially enable the development of the eating disorder through actions and inactions nonrelated to daughters' food intake, appearance, or behavior and potentially further enable the performance of the eating disorder through their silence and passive reactions to their daughters' disorders. However, fathers have the potential to aid in the recovery process with care, support, and expressed closeness, and when fathers do actively participate in their daughters' recovery, the relationship and the recovery process can both benefit from their active participation. These findings highlight the need for further research on fathers (and other father-figures) in this context. Future studies should examine and compare narratives of both fathers and daughters in this context to gain a more complete picture of the father-daughter relationship experience. In addition, future studies should inquire about the family's influence on eating disorders but also the eating disorder's influence on family interactions. Finally, future research should conduct studies with relational dialectics and…

▼ Professional organizations are currently facing a phenomenon that has not been experienced or seen before. As the economy remains fragile and the cost of living continues to rise, a greater number of students are entering the workforce while working to complete their college degrees, and the more seasoned professionals are working well past what has traditionally been called the "retirement years." Due to this increasing number of the young and old entering the workforce, four generations are now working side by side on a daily basis, and this is leaving many professional organizations to wonder "How do we manage, motivate, and communicate with four increasingly diverse age groups?" Interviews were conducted and participant observations took place within one professional
Colorado organization to gain a better understanding of how multiple generations working within one company communicatively construct and perform their generational identities. Through the interview and observation data, six themes emerged illuminating both similar and diverse ways as to how the four generations prefer to communicate and interact in the workplace. In this study the meanings of these themes are discussed in order to shed light on the consequences, both positive and negative, of having four generations working together every day.

▼ This study presents the content of a new health literacy assessment tool tailored specifically for the 18-24 year-old college student population. The new tool encompasses a more comprehensive measurement of comprehension, numeracy, media literacy, and digital literacy. The current leading health literacy assessment tools do not assess the entire concept of patient health literacy, have limited empirical evidence of construct validity, are lacking in their psychometric properties, and are not targeted specifically for the young adult population. Research shows that many higher educated individuals are currently graduating without the necessary skills needed to adequately and efficiently navigate the healthcare system. Poor patient health literacy may be an even stronger predictor of a person's health status than age, income, employment status, education level, and race (Institute of Medicine, 2004). The author created an initial item pool of 229 questions based on research. Health education experts reviewed the initial item pool and helped select the best items that might represent the sub-components of health literacy. This first version of the test was administered to 144 college students. Item Response Theory analysis helped eliminate non-performing items. A second version of the test was administered to 426 college students and analyzed again using Item Response Theory. The new assessment tool was also compared with the current gold standard health literacy tool to establish construct validity, and the two tools were compared for how well each predicts certain health behaviors. Fifty-one items were selected for the assessment based on good psychometric properties. The final version has good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.81). Convergent validity and discriminant validity were supported with expected sub-component correlations with the gold standard tool. And the new assessment tool shows better predictive validity with health-related quality of life, exercise frequency, overall participation in physical activities, and alcohol consumption over the current gold standard tool. The new instrument is recommended for research use in measuring health literacy in young adult populations, especially college students, to help identify deficiencies and strengths in the sub-concepts of health literacy.

▼ In an era where health care is becoming increasingly expensive and reform is on the political agenda, it is important to understand what specifically can be reformed or altered to change the way health care is both understood and administered. To begin, what can be revealed through analyzing the way that health care providers themselves understand both care and communication? This master's thesis uses a dialogic approach to understand how both communication and care are taught and understood in medical education programs. Medical educators at five medical schools in the United States were interviewed regarding their role in teaching communication and clinical skills at their respective schools. Interview data was coded and categorized in effort to better understand how each school constructs and performs the concepts of communication and care. After uncovering how these ideas are understood, suggestions were put forth regarding how medical education curriculums might be changed in the future to better equip future doctors with the demands of delivering quality health care to a multitude of patients with varying desires, needs, and understanding of what it means to be "healthy". After analyzing interview data, this study reveals that the ways in which medical students understand communication and care have material implications for the ways they engage in clinical interactions. Therefore, altering the way these concepts are understood can potentially change the ways doctors interact with their patients. In a time when health care is changing drastically each year, these findings provide tools to make cost and time effective changes in medical education that create important changes for future of medicine. The specific changes offered by this study provide a framework for future curriculums to follow to ensure that programs meet accreditation standards, while also providing the most innovative and advanced teaching and learning methods to educate future doctors. While the sample used for this study is small, its findings still illustrate how medical education might change to better educate students. Further, the study illustrates a need for change and suggests how the methods used here might be combined with others to reveal further areas of focus for curriculum reform. The conclusions of this study reveal that health care reform can begin in the context of medical education and how reconceptualizing foundational ideas like communication and care can better equip medical students for their future clinical interactions.

▼ This thesis examines the discourses and representations constructed in the popular children's television series Bob the Builder – a discursive resource that engages work as its central theme. Through a critical cultural lens, the study uses critical discourse analysis and visual semiotics to explore the constructions of work/er, organization, non-work activities, family, gender, and diversity as they are (re)presented in the show. The study found that Bob the Builder distinctly (re)presents values of the postmodern, postindustrial worker of Western, advanced corporate capitalism. Leisure and play are portrayed as activities which, ideally, do not affect work. Family is equally placed in the periphery as family members are either placed entirely outside the organization – as with Wendy's family – or as contributing members to its operation – as with Bob's family. Gender representations are problematized by Wendy's denied occupational identity as a builder equal to her male counterpart. Diversity in the show is problematic with minimal non-White ethnic representation and two overtly stereotypical representations of supporting characters. Directions for future research are offered in the conclusion.

▼ Twelve in-depth interviews were conducted with health promotion practitioners in northern
Colorado to examine their reliance on two-way versus one-way communication (direction) and symmetrical versus asymmetrical communication (balance) to develop public information/public relations campaigns. The study contrasted strategies used by communicators working for nonprofit, hospital, and government organizations, including their perspectives about how other practitioners strategize. Contrary to expectations, the interviews revealed that practitioners in all three venues heavily relied on two-way symmetrical strategies, although they were all users of one-way communication. When discussing their perceptions, interviewees said colleagues working for organizations like theirs shared commonalities such as barriers to choosing campaign strategies; they said practitioners in other types of organizations have different barriers but more resources. The study revealed four key implications for practitioners. First, they can use creative methods, rather than depend on funding, to implement two-way strategies. Second, they should utilize audience members to spread messages to peers. Third, they can make small changes to add more symmetrical communication. Fourth, they should consider entering into more partnerships. These findings suggest that when practitioners learn what their colleagues are doing, they can create more effective campaigns, which ultimately lead to healthier communities.

▼ Human papillomavirus, or HPV, a common sexually transmitted infection, has been identified as a primary cause of cervical cancer. With the availability of HPV vaccines, accurate and understandable information about HPV and HPV vaccines will be essential to manage personal and public responses to HPV and vaccine risks. The media play a key role in providing the public with that information. This content analysis quantitatively explored media treatment of risk associated HPV and the HPV vaccine through the theoretical lenses of framing and claims-making. A coding schema was developed to identify and quantify recurring information, frames, and claims-makers in coverage. Overall, coverage addressed a breadth of background and risk information about HPV and the HPV vaccine, but lacked a depth of discussion that would better inform readers. Dominant frames emphasized moral judgments, positive benefits, preventative behaviors, episodic contexts, institutional responsibility, and ethical values. Claims-makers more commonly made claims about the HPV vaccine over HPV, and the types of claims-makers included for each were relatively consistent. Although the media are not explicitly tasked with educating people on all the facts and perspectives about HPV and HPV vaccination, it is important to recognize their influence on the health and risk information people receive. Media coverage of HPV and the HPV vaccine could better inform the public by including more detailed background and risk information and by emphasizing a broader range of frames and claims-makers to provide readers with a more comprehensive understanding of the scope and implications of these issues.

▼ Within the realm of sex trafficking, the discourse that describes women often floats between naming the women as victims or as agents. To be an agent assumes that women are complying prostitutes. To be a victim assumes that the women are being put in the situation against their will. Significantly, the perpetrator rarely is discussed. Moreover, in most descriptions, the woman is described as the lone actor in the rape and its aftermath. Interviews were conducted with four different organizations within
Colorado that understand and describe sex trafficking situations in unique ways. Through the interview data, discursive connections and discrepancies were illuminated, allowing for the researcher to follow the flow of discourse among organizations. In this study, the consequences of these descriptions, and their impact on voice, agency and space of action, are examined.
Advisors/Committee Members: Broadfoot, Kirsten J. (advisor), Griffin, Cindy L. (committee member), Coke, Pamela K. (committee member).
Subjects/Keywords: Human trafficking – Colorado; Sex crimes – Colorado; Prostitution – Colorado
