▼ Introduction: Native American youth are at disproportionate risk for HIV infection. Native Americans represent about 1.7% of the U.S. population, yet they rank fifth in HIV/AIDS diagnosis nationwide (U.S. Census, 2012; CDCd 2013). Native Americans with HIV/AIDS are more likely to be younger than non-Native Americans with the disease. There are limited evidence-based HIV/AIDS and teen pregnancy prevention interventions that have been developed, adapted, and/or evaluated for Native American teens. The purpose of this study was to adapt an existing evidence-based HIV/AIDS and teen pregnancy prevention intervention into a culturally responsive intervention curriculum for Native teens. Methods: There were three phases in this study: 1) Adaptation; 2) Implementation; and 3) Evaluation. The first phase of this study was to adapt the evidenced-based Becoming A Responsible Teen intervention with the assistance of a national advisory board. The recommendations were collected and compiled. The second phase of this study was implementing a pilot of the adapted curriculum for Native American teens aged 14-18 living within the Las Vegas, Nevada metropolitan area. The final phase involved a multi-level evaluation using mixed-methods approach: 1) a quantitative, pre-post, HIV knowledge survey; 2) end-of-session surveys that allowed for both quantitative and qualitative feedback on curriculum content and activities; 3) an end-of-intervention survey that gathered quantitative and qualitative feedback on the overall curriculum content and activities; and 4) a focus group to collect qualitative data about curriculum content and activities. Results: Based on the recommendations from the national advisory board tribal social structures, tribal stories, cultural teachings/philosophy, history, and tribal data were strategically incorporated into the curriculum. The adapted curriculum was pilot tested with 14 participants who all completed the intervention. There was significant difference in the pre-survey (M=13.93, SD=3.08) and post-survey (M=17.14, SD=2.25), indicating that participant HIV knowledge scores, increased on average by 3 points. The majority of the end-of-sessions and end-of-intervention survey Likert-scale responses among, all categories were rated good or very good. The focus group results indicated the adaptations helped participants to understand the link of cultural teachings to responsible-decision making. Conclusion: The findings support the premise that with a few carefully constructed, culturally appropriate adaptations, the adapted BART can be an appropriate HIV/AIDS intervention for Native American teens.

▼ Popular education is a mode of teaching and learning which seeks to bring about more equitable social conditions by creating settings in which people can identify and solve their own problems. While the public health literature offers evidence to suggest that popular education is an effective strategy for increasing empowerment and improving health, there have been no systematic attempts to compare the outcomes of popular education to those of traditional education. The goal of La Palabra es Salud was to conduct such a comparison among Latino, parish-based Community Health Workers (CHWs). The study employed a quasi-experimental design, mixed methods, and a community-based participatory research (CBPR) framework. Results of a mixed factorial ANOVA revealed that both experimental groups made statistically significant gains in health knowledge when compared to a control group. Within-group comparisons showed that the popular education (PE) group made statistically significant improvements in self-reported ability to promote health, critical consciousness, and on a global measure of empowerment, while the traditional education (TE) group made significant gains in critical consciousness, control at the personal level, self-reported health status, and self-reported health behavior. Because the TE group was almost twice as large as the PE group, almost identical changes that achieved significance in the TE group did not achieve significance in the PE group. Results of the qualitative analysis validated the quantitative results, with members of the TE group reporting improvements in health knowledge and behavior while members of the PE group reported increased empowerment and ability to empower others. Our findings suggest that, when compared to traditional education, popular education can help participants develop a deeper sense of empowerment and community and more multi-faceted skills and understandings, with no accompanying sacrifice in the acquisition of knowledge. These results have their most direct implications for the education of adults from disempowered communities, where popular education shows promise for supporting community members to identify and organize around shared concerns. More broadly, the research suggests that wider use of popular education in mainstream educational settings could promote greater inclusion and increased success for students who have experienced marginalization, producing a more equitable society.

▼ With the number of people living longer and with more chronic problems, it is important that health educators examine who they are educating as well as the methods and circumstances of the education. The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between self-directedness and health promotion in the elderly. A convenience sample of 108 elders who use Senior Centers in rural East Tennessee comprised the study group. The sample was asked to complete the Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale, the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II, and a demographic information survey at a regular meeting of a Senior Center. A positive relationship (r=.394; p<.005) was found between self-directedness as a measure of intrinsic motivation with participation in health promoting behaviors. Demographic information was used to describe the sample and was also used to determine if there was a relationship between any of the demographic items and health promotion practices or self-directed learning readiness. Participation in religious/spiritual activities was significant for both self-directed learning readiness and health promotion practices. Pender’s Revised Health Promotion Model and the Personal Responsibility Orientation Model provided an excellent basis for this study. The study confirmed the need for personal motivation in the elderly to accomplish increased participation in health promotion practices. Both self-directed learning readiness and health promoting behaviors were reviewed for consideration of previous research in the area, and theoretical perspectives. The key implication for practice is that health educators need to understand the motivation of their client prior to educating them regarding an aspect of health promotion. Recommendations for research include more qualitative studies. Almost all the studies available at present are quantitative and the reason for participation needs further investigation. Qualitative studies would enhance the information regarding the reasons for participation in health promotion.

▼ Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) have recognized readmission rates as a public health problem. CMS incentivizes hospitals to reduce readmission rates and reduce payments for hospitals with high readmission rates (Berry et al., 2013). Patient education and discharge planning are associated with decreased readmission rates. I gained fieldwork experience at Children’s Health System of Texas in Dallas. Children’s Health, a pediatric non-profit, is the 8th largest pediatric health care provider in the U.S. Prior to discharge patient education occurs on topics related to their diagnosis, plus patients are provided discharge instructions including their diagnosis, medications, and simple instructions for the patients to continue care at home. With current discharge practice, patients and their parents report feeling partially prepared for the transition from hospital to home. I created a supplemental discharge tool, also called a journey map, and piloted the discharge tool by meeting with patients and parents to help them understand the tool. The tool is provided with a survey to gather patient feedback. The survey questions measure qualitative and quantitative data to assess the tool’s efficacy. The feedback will influence tool revisions. The tool is used during an inpatient admission and is divided into seven topics: hospital, care, medicine, follow-up, home care needs, and home. Each topic provides question prompts to help patients and their parents understand if they are ready to take ownership for their care. The tool is distributed to patients on a general pediatrics floor with an average length of stay between one to two days. Future research implications include reviewing the readmission rates of patients who used the journey map. There is potential to create diagnosis specific discharge tools for specialties like Neurosurgery. Policy implications include exploring reimbursement rates determined by CMS and may impact National Patient Safety Goals by Joint Commission.

▼ As the percentage of school children with chronic conditions such as diabetes continues to rise, funding for school nurses to keep those students healthy and safe is decreasing. This dissertation includes three studies: (1) a systematic review of the literature on the role and impact of American elementary school nurses, (2) a focus group study that further examined the role of Kentucky school nurses and described their reaction to a new regulation that necessitates delegation of diabetes-related nursing tasks to unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP), and (3) a quantitative study that examined Kentucky school nurses’ past behaviors and future intentions regarding the delegation of diabetes-related tasks. A systematic review of the literature revealed that activities of school nurses can be conceptualized into four major areas: (a) health promotion and disease prevention; (b) triage and treatment of acute issues (e.g., injuries and infectious diseases); (c) management of chronic conditions; and (d) psychosocial support. School nursing activities are associated with increased attendance, higher quality schools, and cost savings. Focus groups in three regions of Kentucky found that Kentucky school nurses fulfill the same major roles as their counterparts across the nation, and face similar challenges such as lack of time, limited resources, language barriers, and communication issues with families. School nurse participants described their biggest impact on students as identifying and addressing students’ physical and psychosocial barriers to learning. While recent legislation was passed in Kentucky necessitating the delegation of insulin administration to UAP, school nurses had not experienced many changes at the time of the focus groups. However, some nurses said that their districts were not planning to delegate insulin administration and intended to keep a nurse in every school. Others appreciated the prospect of having more trained staff in schools to recognize signs of distress in chronically ill students. A statewide survey of 111 Kentucky school nurses indicated that nurses’ past delegation behaviors and future intentions related to delegation are rooted in the level of skilled decision-making that must occur and the risk to the student if the wrong decision is made. Unfortunately, school nurses’ intentions to delegate higher-stakes tasks (e.g. carbohydrate counting, insulin dose verification, and insulin administration) were significantly stronger than their support for (attitude related to) delegation of those tasks, which is disconcerting both for the safety of students as well as for the liability retained by delegating nurses. This disparity between support and intentions indicated that school nurses anticipate that they will have to delegate certain tasks to UAP despite their discomfort with delegating them, most likely due to high workload and lack of resources. Additional studies should be undertaken to determine the impact of legislative changes on the delivery of school health services in Kentucky and…

▼ Healthy Habits, Healthy U (HHHU) is a school-based cancer prevention program. This program is a collaborative effort among Boise State University, St. Luke’s Mountain States Tumor Institute, and the Boise School District. HHHU started in April 2013 as a community outreach initiative designed to teach and reinforce positive health habits in students. HHHU lessons target eighth-grade students and offer a unique approach highlighting the relationships among nutrition, physical activity, sugar-sweetened beverages, and cancer risks, through a variety of educational materials. The purpose of this study was to assess program efficacy by evaluating short-term outcomes. The study evaluated the effectiveness of HHHU at increasing students’ knowledge regarding cancer, and how the risk of developing cancer is affected by nutrition, physical activity levels, and the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs). Additionally, the study evaluated students’ ability to identify positive behavioral intentions. A quasi-experimental design using pretest/posttest surveys, which were administered by Health teachers to students in both the intervention group (IG) and delayed intervention group (DIG), was used to evaluate the program. The HHHU program was presented to 969 Boise School District (BSD) eighth-grade students. Of those, 439 participated in the short-term outcome evaluation of the program (n = 439), yielding a 45% response rate. Results of the study indicate that the HHHU program increases students’ knowledge related to how their health habits (nutrition, physical activity, and sugar-sweetened beverages) increase or decrease the risk of developing cancer. However, the program did not increase general cancer knowledge, or improve students’ skills in establishing behavioral intentions. This preliminary study of the short-term outcomes of the HHHU program is promising and indicates that the program is effective in increasing students’ knowledge across a number of cancer-related domains. HHHU should continue to be used as a school-based cancer prevention program in the BSD. Further research is necessary to further validate and establish reliability metrics for the HHHU program.

▼ This dissertation examines how the field of public health addresses the impact of systemic racism on health and how that informs public health’s approach to youth violence prevention. Beginning with an overview of youth violence, it breaks down the concepts of race and racism and how they are addressed within the science. It also reviews concepts that contribute to risk and protective factors of youth violence. The dissertation is written from a Critical Race Theory approach, argues that the social environment contributes to why youth violence is pervasive in certain neighborhoods, and promotes action from a macro-level approach. Seven chapters cover systemic racism, public health, youth violence, and the impact of neighborhood. Chapter One overviews youth violence in the United States, as well as the social construction of race. Chapter Two explores several areas of interest relevant to understanding the theoretical underpinnings and conceptualization of the study based on current literature. A discussion of the existing literature and gaps around the topics of risk and protective factors of violence, systemic racism, social norms of youth violence, sociopolitical development in youth, racial/ethnic identity development, and engagement in violent behavior are presented. Chapter Three outlines the methodology utilized to answer the research questions of the study. Chapters Four, Five, and Six are distinct manuscripts providing context on how public health approaches systemic/institutional/structural racism, the impact of residential segregation on youths’ participation in violent behaviors, and additional factors contributing to youth violence. Results show that the Public Health literature does not explicitly address systemic racism, and though recognized as a social determinant of health, it is not a substantial focus throughout the field. Using poverty rate or neighborhood grades do not show differential effects of youth participation in violent behaviors, and other institutional-level characteristics need to be explored. According to local Louisville youth, racism at the individual and institutional levels is a factor contributing to youth violence (Chapter Six). Overall, this dissertation addresses the gap in incorporating the topics of systemic racism in Public Health practice and research and provides evidence of the impact of racism and the social environment on youth violence.

▼ Introduction. Despite a substantial prevalence of subthreshold Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and research indicating that many youth with this disorder have impaired functioning and negative outcomes, few studies have considered patterns of symptom and functioning change for youth with probable ADHD, subthreshold ADHD and youth without ADHD transitioning from childhood to adolescence. Additionally, we are not aware of any studies examining predictors of impairment severity among youth with subthreshold ADHD, and few studies have examined predictors of treatment utilization and patterns of symptom and functioning change based on medication status for youth with subthreshold ADHD compared to youth with ADHD. Methods. This study utilized data from the South Carolina Project to Learn about ADHD in Youth (SCPLAY). After a two-phase screening, a sample of children at high and low risk (frequency-matched on gender) of ADHD and parents/caregivers were invited for interviews. The Jacobson & Traux reliable change index (RCI) and chi-square tests were used to examine patterns of (ADHD) symptom and functional impairment change and logistic regression methods were used to identify predictors of impairment severity and medication use. Results. At baseline interview, children were identified who met symptom criteria for subthreshold ADHD (N=84), probable ADHD (186), and probable non-ADHD (n=211) and patterns of change in symptoms and functioning were examined at follow-up (starting three years later) (n=292). Subthreshold ADHD symptoms were seen in as many as 17% (N = 84) of the youth studied at baseline. Youth (both non-ADHD and subthreshold ADHD at baseline) who achieved probable ADHD status at follow-up are more likely to show impaired functioning than individuals achieving subthreshold ADHD or non-ADHD status. Thirty three percent of youth who were subthreshold at baseline remained in that category at follow-up and 12%-21% showed significant decline in at least one domain of functioning. Youth who were subthreshold ADHD at baseline who were subthreshold at follow-up and taking medication (year prior to follow-up) declined in four of the five domains of functioning and youth who were subthreshold ADHD at baseline and probable ADHD at follow-up (and medicated the year prior to follow-up) declined in three out of five domains of functioning. Change in functioning, both improved functioning and worsened functioning, often occurred when there was no reliable or significant change in symptoms. In multivariable analyses, severe impairment was significantly predicted by psychiatric comorbidity among probable ADHD cases, being male among subthreshold ADHD, and primary parent psychiatric history and medication use among individuals without ADHD at follow-up. Use of ADHD medication the year prior to follow-up was significantly predicted by parent perceived burden in the subthreshold ADHD model and female gender in the probable ADHD model. Conclusions. The findings show the importance of examining both symptom and… Advisors/Committee Members: Ken W. Watkins.

▼ The purpose of this integrated article dissertation was to examine the predictive factors for success in the RCMP’s Physical Abilities Requirement Evaluation (PARE) in a retrospective observational study of 13, 709 unique records and a divisional subset of 620 for study two and three. Study one assessed the relative predictive power of the pursuit and body control times, while including covariates of height, weight, age. Significant (p< 0.05) and equally strong effects were for pursuit log odds (LO) of 2.95% CI [2.49, 3.11], and body control time LO of 2.80, 95% CI [2.51, 3.14] with a weak predictor , LO of 0.53, 95% CI [0.38, 0.72]. Not significant were height, weight, and sex with 99 % modeling accuracy. Study two compared sex and performance factors on six repeated PARE pursuit circuit laps for pacing for both divisional data (535 men, 85 women) and 61 age and BMI matched male/female pairs. Results divisional data: significant strong performance (pass/fail) effects F(1,616)=288.3, p< .00, partial η2 = .32 but weak sex (male/female) effects F(1,616) = 27.2, p =.03, partial η2= .01, interaction was significant, F(1,616)=50.7, p< .01, but weak, partial η2 = 0.014. Repeat laps were significant, F(3.7, 229)=195.1, p2=0.24; performance*laps interaction was significant F(3.7, 229)=4.5, p =.02, with weak effects, partial η2 = .007. Significant repeat lap contrasts were lap 1-2, strong effects and lap 2-3, lap 3-4, lap 4-5 weak effects, and not significant was lap 5-6. Results matched pairs data supported significant strong performance effects, F(1,118)=90.9, p2=.44 and weak sex effects, F(1,118)=13.5, p2=.10 not clinically significant. Significant repeat laps contrasts: laps 1-2, strong effect, lap 3-4 and lap 4-5, weak effect, lap 2-3 and lap 5-6 contrast was not significant. Men and women officers paced PARE repeat laps with slight ordinal interaction at lap three and six. The purpose of study three was to assess self-reported physical activity (PA) frequency and intensity as potential additional significant predictors of PARE success. PA frequency of 3.5 day/week, and intensity of 2.2 of 3.0, did not support additional predictors. There appears to be insufficient PA to affect a maximal test. Additional self-reported mode and dimensions of PA might increase PA predictability.

▼ Modifying the built environment is a promising way to promote youth physical activity and reduce obesity. Parks, in particular, are key intervention venues given their low cost and legislated ubiquity. Creating healthy communities, including better parks, will require the interest and participation of multiple constituencies, including youth. Creation of mobile technology environmental audit tools can provide a more interactive way for youth to engage with communities and facilitate participation in participatory action research (PAR) and health promotion efforts. The purpose of the first study was to describe the development and validity and reliability testing of an electronic version of the Community Park Audit Tool (eCPAT). The newly developed eCPAT app consisted of 149 items and incorporated a variety of technology benefits. Criterion-related validity and inter-rater reliability were evaluated using data from 52 youth across 47 parks in Greenville County, SC. A large portion of items (>70%) demonstrated moderate to perfect or fair validity and reliability. Many items demonstrated excellent percent agreement. The eCPAT app is a user-friendly tool that provides a comprehensive assessment of park environments. The purpose of the second study was to explore the use of eCPAT mobile technology on youth empowerment and advocacy within a PAR framework and examined tool usability, effectiveness on youth empowerment and advocacy, interaction effects between tool format and regular technology use, and tool format preferences. A total of 124 youth were randomized into one of three study conditions (Control, Paper, eCPAT). Intervention youth completed two park audits using paper-pencil or mobile technology tools. Youth completed pre and post surveys that measured tool usability and preferences, technology, empowerment, advocacy, and youth demographics. Youth indicated that the eCPAT tool had higher usability scores, was better liked, and was preferred over paper-pencil methods. No main or interaction effects were found for post levels of youth empowerment or advocacy between study conditions. Mobile technology should be viewed as a potential strategy for increasing youth empowerment and advocacy within PAR frameworks given its ubiquity, usability, and preference among youth. Future dissemination will integrate the eCPAT as a critical component of youth-led action oriented PAR projects to improve community health. Advisors/Committee Members: Andrew T. Kaczynski.

▼ Employers in the Southern Indiana and Greater Louisville region are looking for strategies to help them become a healthier workplace. Many employers see the expense of paying for an unhealthy workforce and they are looking to limit these expenses. The purpose of the study is to determine the state of workplace wellness activities in organizations in Southern Indiana and Greater Louisville. Due to the poor health statuses of Indiana and Kentucky, 39th and 45th, respectively, this study is significant for a number of stakeholders in our area. The purpose of this case study was to understand the state of health and wellness of organizations in Southern Indiana and Greater Louisville, according to the Centers for Disease Control Health Scorecard (CDC, 2014). Participants were first given the Centers for Disease Control Health Scorecard (CDC HSC) to develop a consistent quantitative baseline. The CDC HSC is a 125 question, 264-point survey that covers a diverse set of work place wellness initiatives. During the survey, participants were encouraged to elaborate on any aspect of the CDC HSC, such as organizational structure, tobacco control, physical activity, or any of the other categories included. Participants were then asked a series of open-ended interview questions to explore the ways they are, or are not, addressing the health and wellness in their workplace. The population from the study includes organizations from Southern Indiana and Greater Louisville. The results of the interviews were transcribed and compared to themes in the literature for patterns, themes, and outliers. Twenty-five organizations were included in the study, including a sole proprietorship that shares the thoughts of a mid-20s entrepreneur in the technology industry. The individuals in the study phase have a variety of roles in their organizations, so it is assumed they represent the majority of the workforce in their knowledge of the wellness programs. The pilot study focused on managers and human resources personnel and the researcher felt they were biased in their knowledge of the programs. The organizations vary in size, by industry, for-profit versus non-profit, and in the positions of the respondents. The worksite wellness information is organized in the same order as the categories of the Centers for Disease Control Health Scorecard (CDC HSC). The interview material is presented by sharing the data from high, middle, and low-scoring organizations, respectively. This study found that the importance of leveraging the knowledge of experts can increase the HSC score. Additionally, a variety of wellness programs lead to more employee engagement to help employees find a method of engaging that suits them. Organizations that remove obstacles and open doors can allow healthy actions to naturally take place, through Choice Architecture without coercing or incentivizing employees to participate. Safety was a major theme in the study, even when other aspects of wellness were not present. Smoking and chronic disease management were major… Advisors/Committee Members: Olson Allen, Susan, Esterhay, Robert, Esterhay, Robert, Roelfs, David J., Taylor, James.

▼ Introduction: While breastfeeding is a major public health priority and provides numerous benefits to mother and child, women veterans encounter many barriers to initiating and sustaining breastfeeding. For women veterans, barriers to breastfeeding may be compounded by their military experiences or, conversely, may be decreased by the sources of support that are uniquely available to them by Veterans Health Administration (VHA). Methods: This investigation utilized a survey of a cohort of 363 women veterans, interviewed before and after delivery, who were enrolled in care at a national sample of VA facilities. Using the Social Ecological Model, regression analyses were used to explore the relationship between breastfeeding at 4 weeks postpartum and maternal/infant characteristics, interpersonal dynamics, community influences, and system factors. An additional analysis was conducted to determine the extent to which military sexual trauma (MST) moderated the relationship between a set of individual, interpersonal, community, and system factors and breastfeeding at 4 weeks postpartum. Results: Eighty percent of women Veterans in this study were breastfeeding at 4 weeks postpartum. Employment, deployment history, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and geographic region were significantly related to breastfeeding at 4 weeks in the multivariate model. Self-employed mothers were 3.5 times more likely to breastfeed than those who were employed outside the home. Women Veterans with TBI were significantly less likely to breastfeed at 4 weeks. Mothers who had been deployed at any point in their military career were 2.2 times more likely to be breastfeeding than those who never deployed. This analysis also found significant variation in odds of breastfeeding by geographic region, with southern Veteran service areas having significantly lower rates than all other regions. MST was not a significant predictor of breastfeeding at 4 weeks but was a significant moderator of the relationship between mother’s age and breastfeeding. Conclusion: In this population of women Veterans, breastfeeding rates were comparable to those in the general population at 4 weeks postpartum. More research is needed to examine rates at 6 months and 1 year postpartum. Support for breastfeeding Veterans should account for their military experience and any related injuries incurred during military service.

▼ Excessive young adult (ages 19-24) or binge drinking is an important public health concern. Alcohol is enormously popular and has a high level of social and cultural significance in Canada. Behaviours such as excessive drinking have become a normalized “rite of passage” with major health, social, and economic costs. This thesis examines a public education event, How Much is Too Much – A Conversation for Change: Young Adults and Alcohol (CFC), evaluating the strategies used and impact of integrating individual and community empowerment into its development and delivery processes and outcomes. Applying a framework integrating top-down and bottom-up health promotion strategies and addressing the culture and practices of young adult drinking in Saskatchewan and Canada, this thesis answers the question: How effective is the process of the CFC at: a) providing public education, b) facilitating individual and community empowerment, and c) initiating and sustaining meaningful dialogue about the issue of young adult alcohol use in Saskatchewan? The secondary research question is: Did the process of the CFC contribute to individual attitude or behavioural change or facilitate any social action around the issue of young adult drinking? These questions were explored using a mixed methodology, including semi-structured interviews with event organizers, presenters, and participants, participant observation of an online blog, and CFC evaluations. Results indicated that the most successful components of the CFC included: a) increased awareness of young adult excessive alcohol use in sociocultural context, b) insight into the issue within and outside of the Saskatchewan community, and c) allowing community members’ voices to be heard. The least effective element was a six-week follow-up blog designed to continue the conversation about young adult drinking. Based on these results, a series of five categories of recommendations about the process of including the “public” in public health education were identified. The five areas addressed were: a) program design, b) objective setting, c) strategy selection, d) strategy implementation and management, and e) evaluation. This research has implications for health promoters that aim to conduct public health education that facilitates the transition from knowledge acquisition through to individual and community empowerment and eventual action.

▼ The elderly club program (ECP), a community-based intervention, has been implemented to support self-help organizations and promote the health and quality of life of seniors in Thailand. Due to dramatic increases in aging populations, it is important to determine whether or not the club implementation has beneficial impacts on the health and well being of seniors. This study aimed to understand factors influencing ECP implementation (needs, coverage, and provision) and factors influencing stakeholders (motivation, capacity, and demands) from the perspectives of three key stakeholders: recipients (seniors), implementers (committee members), and supporters (officials). This approach involved semi-structured in-depth interviews with 22 health officials and local politician administrators, 30 senior recipients (60 years old and older), and 30 committee members. The interview guide was based on an adapted theoretical framework. Two supplement methods were direct observation of activities at elderly clubs and a review of documents related to ECP implementation. The three stakeholders prioritized seniors' needs differently. Seniors and committee members perceived financial issues as the greatest needs of seniors, whereas officials perceived health as the greatest needs. All three stakeholders perceived that the ECP were not accessible and available for seniors, but they perceived barriers to accessibility and availability differently in some points. The three stakeholders perceived motivation to participate in the ECP implementation differently. Seniors and officials were more motivated by intrinsic factors, whereas implementers were more motivated by extrinsic factors. All three stakeholders perceived themselves have low capacity (knowledge and skills) to perform particular activities in the ECP. Seniors were likely to have high demand (poor health, heavy workload, and poverty) that impeded participation in the ECP. The incongruence of perspectives of the three stakeholders resulted from the difference of their roles, personal background, and values and beliefs. The ECP is not offering enough of some activities that were identified as important needs of seniors. Exercise and social activities were the most prevalent activities offered in the ECP whereas the greatest needs of seniors were finances and health. Comprehensive strategies are required to improve the ECP implementation to meet senior needs because the factors influencing the three key stakeholders are interrelated and changing one may affect others. Finally, the study demonstrated the importance of the use of the adapted theoretical framework that allowed us to identify these interrelated factors simultaneously. These findings will help guide program implementation and improve program… Advisors/Committee Members: Edward Frongillo.

▼ Fitness is essential to firefighters in performing their jobs. Accurate perception of fitness is essential for making behavioral changes necessary to improve fitness. Little research is available comparing actual and perceived fitness in a firefighter population. This study establishes the first baseline level of fitness among firefighters in Washington DC, using tests prescribed by the American College of Sports Medicine and the CDC definition of fitness as having five components: Body Composition, Cardiovascular Endurance, Muscular Strength, Muscular Endurance and Flexibility. This is also the first study in any population to compare actual and perceived fitness using the CDC definition. Perceived fitness was measured by survey. Actual and perceived fitness were measured in a sample of 487 male firefighters. Performance test results for actual fitness were categorized as fit if results were above average according to ACSM norms. BMI results were categorized as fit if not in the overweight range. Perceived fitness results were categorized as fit if the firefighter reported above average fitness. Perceived weight responses were categorized as fit if not in the overweight range. Results indicate that only 3% of firefighters are fit according to the CDC definition. The fitness component with the highest percentage of not fit firefighters was Body Composition, as measured by BMI. 85% of firefighters were overweight, 44% of these moderately or severely obese. The perceived fitness component with the highest percentage of not fit firefighters, at 66%, was Flexibility. Logistic regression revealed that age has a significant impact on categorization as fit for several fitness components. Pairing the test results and survey responses revealed that Body Composition and Cardiovascular Endurance were the two components with the highest percentage of firefighters who perceived they were fit when ACSM norms categorized them as not fit. Comparisons between tested and perceived fitness are applied to recommendations for fitness promotion which are evidence-based and consistent with accepted models of health behavior change. The extremely low level of fitness requires abandonment of fitness screening for rehabilitation in favor of continuous fitness promotion.

▼ This research sought to understand the ways in which ideas and discourses in international development are adapted in a country context. Our particular focus was on how ideas at the international and national level become reality at the subnational and community levels. We primarily examined the sensitization of Ethiopia’s Productive Safety Net Program to nutrition across sectors and down levels of government as a way to understand how the global momentum around nutrition, particularly multisectoral or nutrition-sensitive initiatives, can be translated into action. The first manuscript delves further into the operational realities of implementing multisectoral nutrition-sensitive programming among the neglected lower levels of government, or what we term the mid-level actors and their operating environments. We used key informant interviews with sub-district government implementers and households in a vulnerable agrarian community. The second manuscript frames the current narrative around nutrition in development. We identify and describe the frameworks, ideologies, and operational realities that both influence the conceptualization of nutrition-sensitive efforts at a global level and constrain their realization within a country context. We collected and analyzed data from Ethiopian national strategic frameworks and key informant interviews, and situated it within literature from development studies, nutrition, anthropology, and geography. All data were collected between June 2014 and March 2016. We intend this work to serve as a practical guide for future research and programming on multisectoral nutrition. Our identification and discussion of insidious, constraining patterns within nutrition research and practice, in combination with those within development at-large and the operational constraints at the country-level will ideally influence current discourses in such a way that possibilities for addressing the overarching (and underlying) structural factors that impact nutrition can be better imagined. This work will help to move nutrition in development beyond the single-factor, individual-level focus that we observed within international nutrition practice. Advisors/Committee Members: Edward A. Frongillo.
