  • Disparities in Health Outcomes and Health Care Access : A Quantitative Intersectional Approach

    Creator:
    Alvarado, Carla S.
    Abstract:
    Health disparity scholars and researchers call to expand the conceptualization of health disparities research beyond the predominant and long-standing race-based analyses. The call requests the inclusion of frameworks and theories that reflect the complex, multi-level and multifactorial social processes that yield health disparities. Intersectionality is a theoretical framework that is...

  • Embryonic and Larval Zebrafish Bioassays for Biomedical Research : The Larval Photomotor Response Screening Assay and Phenotype

    Creator:
    Fisher, Joseph A.
    Abstract:
    Laboratories around the world are using the zebrafish model for biomedical research and conducting investigations using morphological, physiological, behavioral, and genomic endpoints. All assays provide information, but physiological and behavioral endpoints or phenotypes are a fast way to understand how an animal is responding to its environment. We investigate the...

  • Improving Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Surveillance: Focusing on Enhancing Surveillance Methods and Evaluation

    Creator:
    Yang, Liu
    Abstract:
    Work-related hazards and exposures affect human health and well-being. Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) surveillance is fundamental to the public health approach. OSH surveillance provides important data on the occurrence and magnitude of the problem and risk/protective factors. A wide variety of OSH surveillance programs and systems have been established...

  • Access and Utilization of Mental Healthcare Services Among Children and Adolescents in India – A mixed-methods study

    Creator:
    Vasanth Rao, Deeksha
    Abstract:
    Background: According to the National Mental Health Survey (NMHS), the treatment gap of any mental disorder in India among the general population was reported to be as high as 83% (R. S. Murthy, 2017). There is insufficient evidence currently describing the treatment gap among the child and adolescent population. Given...

  • Fatal and non-fatal work-related injuries onboard freezer-trawlers and freezer-longliners in Alaska : an in-depth evaluation

    Creator:
    Lucas, Devin L.
    Abstract:
    Vessel disasters (e.g., vessels capsizing, sinking, grounding, burning) are the leading contributor to occupational fatalities in the U.S. commercial fishing industry. Vessel disasters are a vital area to target prevention efforts, yet it has been suggested that results produced in scientific studies are not efficiently exchanged between researchers, regulatory bodies...

    Abstract:
    West Nile Virus (WNV), a vector-borne disease continues to be a serious threat to public health in the United States, particularly in the Southwest region. While all the states in the U.S. experienced a decreasing trend of WNV disease in 2010, the state of Arizona experienced a sharp increase from...

  • The Association Between Extreme Climate and Diarrheal Illness in North America

    Creator:
    Lyon-Colbert, Amber
    Abstract:
    The etiology and transmission of bacterial diarrheal pathogens is complex, making evaluating the association between extreme climate and diarrheal illnesses in North America challenging. Changes in climate may impact the survival, reproduction, and distribution of pathogens that cause diarrheal illness. Evidence supports the hypothesis that reproduction, survival, and transmission ability...

  • Exploring the Validity and Genetic Basis of Frailty

    Creator:
    Wu, Chenkai
    Abstract:
    Frailty is a clinical syndrome characterized by decreased resilience to stressors, resulting from dysregulation across multiple physiological systems. Frailty is prevalent in elders and is associated with a wide range of adverse outcomes including death, disability, hip fracture, and falls. In the absence of a gold standard, there is a...

    Abstract:
    Although the seafood processing industry is vital to Alaska’s economy, limited research has addressed workers’ safety and health. Federal and state regulators have classified both offshore and onshore seafood processing worksites in Alaska as high-hazard environments; however, there is a dearth of published information on safety and health outcomes in...
