Health Service Utilization among Medicaid Enrollees in Oregon : Assessing Variation by Level of Rurality

Creator:: Larson, Annie E.
Abstract:: Research Objective: Nearly 60 million people in the United States reside in a rural area. Residents in rural areas have higher rates of chronic disease, risky health behaviors, disability, infant mortality, and age-adjusted mortality than their urban counterparts. Health insurance and access to care mitigate those risks, in part because...

Motor Skill Proficiency, Performance and Participation in Children with Physical Disabilities

Creator:: Ross, Samantha M.
Abstract:: Background: Mastery of fundamental motor skills (FMS) in childhood is proposed to facilitate participation in physical activity (PA) opportunities, through context-specific application of FMS (Clarke & Metclafe, 2002; Stodden et al., 2008). Children with disabilities impacting motor skill development thus are at greater risk for low PA participation. Evidence indicates...

Associations Between the PlayerLoad™ Metric and Common IMU-based Physical Activity-Related Measures of Human Movement

Creator:: Dailey, Dakota B.
Abstract:: Over the last 60 years, supplemental strength and conditioning for improving sport performance has gone from being nearly non-existent to a cornerstone feature of elite collegiate, amateur, and professional athletics. Concurrent with this profession-related evolution, technologies for monitoring and tracking physical performance have become more prevalent and useful. As an...

The Identification of Common Environmental and Demographic Associations for Tick-Borne Disease Risk and Surveillance Efforts in the United States

Creator:: Ashraf, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: Ixodes scapularis (e.g. blacklegged tick) is a hard-bodied tick considered endemic to certain regions within the United States. This species is considered a primary vector of Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi), anaplasmosis (Anaplasma phagocytophilum) and babesiosis (Babesia microti). Each of these tick-borne diseases represent a growing health concern within the nation...

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...

Physical activity among Chinese international students in American higher education : from quantitative and qualitative perspectives

Creator:: Yan, Zi
Abstract:: Chinese international students in American colleges and universities report low levels of physical activity involvement, which may limit them in terms of realizing their full human potential (i.e., cognitively, physically, socially). The purpose of this dissertation was to investigate the psychosocial mechanisms as well as the sociocultural influences to understand...

Preliminary Evaluation of the Balanced-Energy Physical Activity Toolkit. Examination of Teacher-level Implementation Factors with Children's Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity Behaviors

Creator:: Abi Nader, Patrick
Abstract:: Classroom-based physical activity (CBPA) breaks are a common and cost-effective physical activity (PA) promotion strategy at elementary schools. Nevertheless, there is limited research examining how teacher-level factors such as value for PA and perceived support to deliver CBPA breaks influence teacher implementation of CBPA breaks. In addition, to date no...

Phenotypes of Cardiovascular Damage and Cognitive Decline

Creator:: Miller, Lindsay M.
Abstract:: Cognitive impairment can severely impact quality of life, and can place added strain on family and caregivers.¹⁻³ Moreover, cognitive decline has been shown to proceed to more serious conditions including Alzheimer’s disease and dementia,⁴⁻⁶ making it critical to intervene on risk factors. In addition to traditional risk factors for cognitive...

The Influence of Quadriceps Rate of Torque Development and Arthrogenic Muscle Inhibition on Knee Landing Mechanics during Different Landing Tasks in ACL Reconstructed Females

Creator:: Huang, Yu-Lun
Abstract:: Lesser quadriceps explosive strength following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) may result in the use of altered landing mechanics that increase the risk for a second ACL injury. Reduced capacity to produce explosive strength in the quadriceps is potentially driven, at least in part, by quadriceps arthrogenic muscle inhibition...

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...
