Be There, Listen, See What It Is They Need’
There is a critical public health crisis regarding the infant mortality rate between black and white mothers in the USA. This issue is more pronounced in North Carolina, where black infants have a much higher infant mortality rate than whites. We utilized a qualitative approach to understand the paternal support of black mothers during the perinatal period. Purposive sampling was used to recruit parents from an infant development center to conduc…
Balancing data privacy and social good
This brief note examines the dual impact of Internet-enabled technologies in public services to expand access to services while exposing gaps in data privacy protections in the United States. Both the opportunities and risks these technologies present for vulnerable populations are discussed. Emphasis is placed on the lack of a robust national data privacy law and the fragmented legal and ethical landscape that nonprofits providing social good mu…
Field Note—Responding to the #MeToo Era in Social Work
An alarming number of social work students indicate experiencing sexual harassment in their field placements; however, very few formally report these experiences. Recent public discussion about the prevalence of sexual harassment at work and the lack of trauma-informed responses have heightened the urgency to provide policy solutions that are effective at eliminating the behavior; social work students placed in field are no different. Field educa…
An Exploratory Study of Digital Inequities and Work in the Redevelopment of a Southeastern American City
Nearly 6 million workers support the multi-billion-dollar digital economy as one of the fastest-growing sectors in the U.S. labor market. Middle-skill jobs in the digital economy sector that pay higher wages and do not require a bachelor’s degree are underrepresented people of intersectional marginalized identities. This exploratory study builds upon previous research on digital inequities by examining the digital economy values, behavior, and in…
Partnering with Panama
Childhood obesity is a global public health concern in developed and developing countries. Approximately 3 in 10 Panamanian children suffer from obesity, and overweight/obesity is responsible for the highest number of premature or avoidable deaths in this country. A formative community assessment and exploration of the built food environment was conducted. Analysis suggests that almost one-third of the children measured were overweight or obese, …
Alternative sexuality, sexual orientation and mobile technology
The alternative sexuality and sexual orientation minority (SM) communities are at risk for numerous health disparities. However, there is a dearth of research exploring the potential receptivity of these communities to the use of mobile technology to promote health. The present study reports findings from a feasibility study comprising two aims: (1) describe health enhancement app usage among alternative sexuality community members, as well as va…
Use of Semi-Structured Interviews to Explore Competing Demands in a Prostate Cancer Prevention Intervention Clinical Trial (PCPICT)

We sought to identify ways to improve collaboration between researchers and physicians and enhance the success of future projects and employed purposive sampling to recruit physician/investigators who were involved or invited…
You Never Heard Jesus Say to Make Sure You Take Time Out for Yourself
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have taken a toll on military chaplains (MCs) who often return from deployment with high levels of stress, yet are expected to counsel on a daily basis without decompression of their own, potentially exacerbating any personal trauma. MC with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) who have had deployments abridged due to their positive PTSD screen have reported shame due to leaving service members in their unit in da…
Assessing the 2010 Affordable Care Act
In March of 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (known together as the Affordable Care Act or ACA). The largest legislative overhaul of the US health care system since the expansion of the Social Security Act in the 1960s, it invoked a fierce national debate about the elements required for reform. Many of the ACA's provisions do not take effect u…
