Identification Of Effective Outreach Methods For Mental Health Services To The Hispanic Population, Nidia Yamileth Canello
Identification Of Effective Outreach Methods For Mental Health Services To The Hispanic Population, Nidia Yamileth Canello
Theses Digitization Project
The purpose of this study was to find effective outreach methods to the Hispanic population to empower them to seek mental health services when they need them. Hispanics seek mental health services at a lower rate than mainstream America. This community is the most rapidly growing in San Bernardino County, and lack of early intervention when necessary may have costly consequences to Hispanics and society as a whole.

Chronic Kidney Disease, Creatinine And Cognitive Functioning, Merrill F. Elias, Penelope K. Elias, Stephen L. Seliger, Sriram S. Narsipur, Gregory A. Dore, Michael A. Robbins
Maine-Syracuse Longitudinal Papers
Background. Non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney dis- ease (CKD) is related to cognitive impairment. Previous studies have not explored the extent of impairment across multiple cognitive domains. We examined the range of specific cognitive abilities affected by CKD and whether the associations of CKD with cognition were eliminated by statistical control for cardiovascular disease correlates of CKD. Methods. We performed a community-based cross-sectional study with 923 individuals free from dementia and end-stage renal disease. Two groups were defined based on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR): eGFR/min/1.73 m2 versus eGFR≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Out- come measures were scores from multiple clinical tests of specific …
The Influence Of Familism On Descriptive And Injunctive Norms In Predicting The Intention To Eat A Vegetarian Diet Among Chinese Seventh-Day Adventists, See Wei Toh
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
According to the theory of planned behavior (TpB), one determinant of intention to engage in a behavior is the subjective norm. Various studies have found that subjective norm is often the weaker predictor of intention compared to perceived behavioral control and attitude. This study examined whether familism (emphasis on the family rather than the individual) would contribute positively to the predictive power of the TpB model through interactions with the family portion of descriptive and injunctive norms. Descriptive and injunctive norms are component variables of the subjective norm. A sample of 284 adult Chinese Seventh-day Adventists 18 years and older …
Hermeneutics In Primary Care: Corneal Ulceration Treated With Bandage Contact Lenses / Alternate Title: Case Report - Corneal Ulceration Treated With Bandage Contact Lenses, Tommy Cleary, Katherine Chan
Hermeneutics In Primary Care: Corneal Ulceration Treated With Bandage Contact Lenses / Alternate Title: Case Report - Corneal Ulceration Treated With Bandage Contact Lenses, Tommy Cleary, Katherine Chan
Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences - Papers (Archive)
Bandage contact lens use in primary care optometry can be important for allowing people to live without painful effects of corneal disease. This particular case study describes the initial healing of ulceration with a bandage contact lens inserted and also the long term issues of recurrence of ulceration with cessation of lens wear and management of microbial keratoconjunctivitis with bandage lens wear. In an attempt to address holistic themes this paper utilises a hermeneutical approach to clinical judgement in a primary care setting.

‘Natural’ Claims On Foods: A Review Of Regulations And A Pilot Study Of The Views Of Australian Consumers, P. G. Williams, J. Markoska, V. Chachay, Anne Mcmahon
Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences - Papers (Archive)
The term ‘natural’ is often used on food labels, but is unregulated in Australia, except for prohibitions on misleading and deceptive conduct in the Trade Practices Act. This pilot study aimed to review definitions and regulations of ‘natural’ in Australia and internationally; record the ingredients used in a sample of foods marketed as natural; and examine consumer expectations about which ingredients could suitably be labeled natural. A survey of food labels at 12 food outlets recorded ingredients commonly used in foods marketed as natural. Consumer expectations were examined with a questionnaire about 25 ‘natural’ food ingredients. One hundred and nineteen …

Individuals working in hot environments experience an increase in body core temperature due to the combined influences of physical activity, which elevates metabolic heat production, and external heat sources, which impede heat loss. Since dry heat exchanges are dependent upon thermal gradients, then hotter environments restrict heat dissipation, particularly when the air temperature approaches and exceeds that of the skin. Heat loss will now become progressively more reliant upon the evaporation of sweat, which is also gradient dependent.
Sweating And Skin Blood Flow Changes During Progressive Dehydration, Christiano Machado-Moreira, Joanne Caldwell, Anne Van Den Heuvel, Pete Kerry, Gregory E. Peoples, Nigel A.S. Taylor
Sweating And Skin Blood Flow Changes During Progressive Dehydration, Christiano Machado-Moreira, Joanne Caldwell, Anne Van Den Heuvel, Pete Kerry, Gregory E. Peoples, Nigel A.S. Taylor
Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences - Papers (Archive)
Cutaneous vasodilatation is essential for the convective delivery of heat from the body core to the periphery, whilst the evaporation of sweat dissipates this heat from the skin surface. Both of these physiological mechanisms must continue to function optimally for effective body temperature regulation to be sustained when exercising in the heat.

When fluid intake is insufficient to match sweat losses, dehydration develops. It is well established that dehydration impacts unfavourably upon cardiovascular function, including cardiac output and peripheral blood flow (Gonzalez-Alonso et al., 1998). However, the limitations of cardiac electrophysiology in the dehydrated state are not known. In light of possible electrolyte imbalances, particularly when water deficit moves towards 7% of total body mass, it is worth considering the possibility of adverse conduction changes, as reflected within the electrocardiogram (ECG), may accompany electrolyte loss. In addition, the ECG can also be employed to investigate other cardiac limitations, such as myocardial ischaemia. …

Comparison Of Computerised Dietary Assessments With Diet History And Food Record Data At Baseline In An Australian Food-Based Clinical Trial, Yasmine Probst, Virva Sarmas, Linda C. Tapsell
Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences - Papers (Archive)
Background: Food-based clinical trials are vital to advance the scientific evidence for the impact of food on health. These trials reqUire stringent dietary assessment to substantiate effects. We are evaluating the use of a self-administered computerised dietary assessment (DietAdvice) in a current food based weight loss trial. Objective: This cross sectional study aims to compare data from DietAdvice with diet history (DH) and food record (FR) dietary assessments measured at baseline. Materials and Methods: Baseline data for n=71 overweight (23-60 years, BMI 25-37 kg/m2) participants was utilised. Macronutrient data for matched dietary assessments from n=32 participants was obtained for the …

Improving Clinicians' Attitudes Toward Providing Feedback On Routine Outcome Assessments, Tim Coombs, Aimee Willis, Frank P. Deane
Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences - Papers (Archive)
Clinicians have been found to hold predominantly negative attitudes toward routine outcome assessments (ROA). This study aims to assess changes in clinicians’ attitudes to ROA, and in particular, the provision of feedback from such assessments following a training workshop. Ninety-six mental health workers attended a training workshop on ROA, which was supported by the use of a CD-ROM video resource. Participants completed a questionnaire before and after training that assessed their attitudes toward ROA and the provision of feedback from these assessments. Attitudes toward feedback were predominantly positive at baseline. Significantly more positive attitudes on general attitudes and specific attitudes …

Qigong As A Mindful Exercise Intervention For People Living With Mental Ill Health, Chris Lloyd, H. Tsang, Frank P. Deane
Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences - Papers (Archive)
Background: Individuals with schizophrenia are more likely to be overweight or obese than the general population, and the associated health problems put them at a higher risk of death. Exercise is therefore an important non-pharmacological intervention that mental health workers can assist clients to engage in, and mindful exercise approaches may be particularly well-suited to this population. Content: This article describes the concept of qigong as a mindful exercise and looks at preliminary evidence suggesting that mindful exercise is of physical and emotional benefit to people with mental ill health. The authors propose an easy, standardized exercise protocol which clinicians …
Gatekeeper Influence On Food Acquisition, Food Preparation And Family Diet, Mike Reid, Anthony Worsley, Felix Mavondo
Gatekeeper Influence On Food Acquisition, Food Preparation And Family Diet, Mike Reid, Anthony Worsley, Felix Mavondo
Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences - Papers (Archive)
The problems associated with overweight and obesity has focused attention on obesogenic, or obesity promoting environments. The home environment, in particular the role of the main food gatekeeper, has come under particular scrutiny for its impact on the family diet (Campbell et al, 2007; Coveney, 2004; Crawford et al, 2007). 326 US and 323 Australian gatekeepers are studied to understand relationships between healthy eating capability, food acquisition and food preparation behaviours, and satisfaction with the household diet. The results suggest that gatekeeper attitudes and perceived control over family diet play a significant role in shaping food-related behaviours and diet satisfaction. …
The Interaction Of Word Frequency And Concreteness In Immediate Serial Recall, Leonie M. Miller, Steven J. Roodenrys
The Interaction Of Word Frequency And Concreteness In Immediate Serial Recall, Leonie M. Miller, Steven J. Roodenrys
Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences - Papers (Archive)
Word frequency and word concreteness arc language attributes that have been shown to independently int1uence the recall of items in verbal short-term memory (STM), It has been argued that such effects arc evidence for the action of long-term memory knowledge on STM traces. However, research to date has not investigated whether these variables interact in serial recall. In two experiments, we examined the behavior of these variables under factorial manipulation and demonstrated that the effect of word frequency is dependent on the level of concreteness of items, Serial recall performance is examined with reference to two explanatory approaches: Walker and …

Smoke And Mirrors: Nutrition Content Claims Used To Market Unhealthy Food, Bridget Kelly, Libby Hattersley, Lesley King, Vicki Flood
Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences - Papers (Archive)
Nutrition content claims are statements that relate to the presence or absence of nutrients, energy or biologically active substances in food. Currently in Australia, food manufacturers are permitted to make nutrition content claims as long as they can substantiate that the food component is present at the claimed levels, that is, that the claim is honest and true. Nutrition content claims can be used by food manufacturers to market food products, whereby positive nutritional attributes are emphasised to exaggerate the nutritional quality or health benefit of the product. In this way, nutrition-related claims can be misleading, with manufacturers able to …

Industry Partnerships For Health Nonprofits And Disease Awareness Advertising, Danika Hall, Sandra C. Jones, Donald C. Iverson
Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences - Papers (Archive)
Marketing partnerships between non-profit organisations (NPOs) and industry generally bring favourable results for both parties (Brønn and Vrioni 2001; Varadarajan and Menon 1988). However, there is some scepticism about corporate exploitation of such arrangements and growing concern in Australia and elsewhere about partnerships between the pharmaceutical industry and NPOs (Angell 2006; Moynihan and Cassels 2005) and the co-sponsorship of Disease Awareness Advertising (DAA). This paper reports the findings from a study of how Australian women respond to DAA with differing sponsors including their ability to identify, and their attitude toward, the sponsor. The results are of importance for health NPOs …

Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences - Papers (Archive)
Over the last seven years practice nurse numbers have grown across Australia to over 7,824 (est.) in 2007, with at least 60% of general practices now employing a practice nurse (APNA 2008). Nurses hav~ helped many GPs with overwhelming workloads which include dealing with complex mental health complaints, such as depression and anxiety related to chronic disease conditions. Practice nurses are a key component in primary health care with one nurse to every 2.3 GPs in 2007 (APNA 2008

The Effects Of Antipsychotic Drugs Administration On 5-Ht1a Receptor Expression In The Limbic System Of The Rat Brain, Mei Han, Xu-Feng Huang, Teresa M. Du Bois, Chao Deng
Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences - Papers (Archive)
Increasing evidence suggests that 5-HT1A receptors are involved in the pathophysiology and treatment of schizophrenia. This paper investigated 5-HT1A receptor mRNA expression and binding density in female rats treated with aripiprazole (2.25 mg/kg/day), olanzapine (1.5 mg/kg/day), haloperidol (0.3 mg/kg/day) or vehicle (control) orally three times/day for 1 or 12 weeks. Animals were sacrificed 48 h after the last administration. Aripiprazole significantly increased 5-HT1A receptor binding density by 33% in the CA1 region of the hippocampus and by 21% in the medial posterodorsal nuclei of posterior amygdala (MeP) compared to the control group after 1 week of treatment. Olanzapine significantly decreased …

Youth Participation In Civil Society And Political Life In Bihar, International Institute For Population Sciences (Iips), Population Council
Poverty, Gender, and Youth
Youth participation in civil society and political life is increasingly recognized as an important development objective. The opportunities for participation that young people experience in their communities may influence their development and the kind of transitions they make to adulthood. Moreover, behaviors and attitudes relating to community participation that individuals adopt as young people predict their lifelong civic affiliations and perspectives. In India, the National Youth Policy 2003 underscored the role of India’s youth in political decision-making and argued for greater representation of youth in appropriate bodies as well as more extensive youth participation in the design and implementation of …
