Connecting families, schools, and communities
The achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) demands an increased focus on investing in young children as a pivotal solution. Many of the SDGs' targeted solutions directly or indirectly address facets of children's living conditions, aiming to foster their social and emotional well‐being. However, the current approach, while successful in delivering some impacts, are often disjointed. In this article, we contend that…
Measuring the cost-effectiveness of a home-visiting intervention to promote early child development among rural families linked to the Rwandan social protection system
Early childhood development (ECD) programmes are heralded as a way to improve children’s health and educational outcomes. However, few studies in developing countries calculate the effectiveness of quality early childhood interventions. This study estimates the cost and cost-effectiveness of the Sugira Muryango (SM) trial, a home-visiting intervention to improve ECD outcomes through positive parent-child relationships. Cost-effectiveness analysis…
Using a Mediation Moderation Model to Examine Exposure to Videos of Police Use of Force in Media, Police Contact Anxiety, Grit, and Suicidality Among Black Emerging Adult College Students
These findings suggest that the relationship between exposure to videos of police use of force in media and suicidality as influenced by PCA and grit. Implications for research, practice, and policy are discussed
Building sustainable communities for sustainable development
Environmental crises often stem back to how humans make decisions and behave. Thus, the extent to which we can successfully address these challenges will depend on the extent to which we can design and deliver effective behavioral change interventions. This project examines how complex behavioral change interventions can be applied to modify human behavior of villagers living in coastal communities. Our work aimed to increase adoption of sustaina…
Using behaviour science to enrich development
Low-resource communities that rely on the environment face challenges in the forms of climate change and the overuse of natural resources. Behaviour science offers methods and strategies to mitigate behaviours that contribute to environmental degradation, as well as promote the adoption of desirable behaviours. We investigated the attitudes and beliefs of vulnerable communities. We conducted surveys across five villages on Selayar Island, a small…
Learning from lines
In response to the ubiquitous graphs and maps of COVID-19, artists, designers, data scientists, and public health officials are teaming up to create counter-plots and subaltern maps of the pandemic. In this intervention, we describe the various functions served by these projects. First, they offer tutorials and tools for both dataviz practitioners and their publics to encourage critical thinking about how COVID-19 data is sourced and modeled-and …
