Service-learning in rural contexts
Community-based service-learning projects have demonstrated their effectiveness in helping students understand concepts in public service education through hands-on, experiential activities; however, little is known about the implementation of service-learning pedagogy in rural settings and its implications for public administration. This article employs a multiple case study approach to examine the application of service-learning graduate course…
Who's Most at Risk? Examining Suicide Characteristics in Primary and Secondary Educators
Educators are facing unprecedented pressures inside and outside of the classroom. While much has been learned about the wellbeing of primary and secondary students, educators' health and welfare remains less studied. This study provides the first comprehensive analysis of educator suicide in the United States, addressing gaps in the literature by exploring demographic risk factors, temporal dynamics, and methods. The National Violent Death Report…
Community health resource project
Public health professionals frequently engage with residents of rural Georgia to conduct needs-based initiatives, which aim to identify deficiencies and shortcomings in community health. However, this process can exacerbate existing stereotypes and lead community members to feel a sense of despair in their own communities. The Community Health Resource Project (CHRP) offers a counterbalance through a strengths-based approach by highlighting anima…
For Such a Time as This
In this theoretically informed article, we introduce and define Fugitive Pedagogy as a framework for action, building on Givens’s biography of Carter G. Woodson. We first introduce our current education context and outline the need for a Fugitive Pedagogy approach. We describe how we developed Fugitive Pedagogy as a theoretical and analytical framework in Spring 2023. We then exemplify the application of a Fugitive Pedagogy approach both reflexiv…
Examining Research Ethics and Integrity at a Public University in Bolivia
This descriptive cross-sectional study examined research ethics and integrity at a public university in Bolivia. We surveyed university professors, directors, and deans and analyzed secondary data from graduate student research manuscripts. The results showed gaps in the university professors' understanding and implementation of research ethics and integrity in their work. Findings indicated that while university leaders acknowledged serious rese…
Natural Disaster Preparedness Impact on Confidence Levels and Survey Differences in University Student's Responses
Despite students' vulnerability to natural disasters, the literature addressing their preparedness in high‐risk areas remains sparse. This study assessed natural disaster preparedness confidence and pre‐ and post‐training differences among university students in Georgia, United States of America (USA). Pre‐ and post‐surveys were applied to students who participated in a natural disaster preparedness and response (NDPR) training session. A cross‐s…
Association between the Health Belief Model, Exercise, and Nutrition Behaviors during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Individuals who reported a more drastic change in either exercise had greater odds of increased feelings of perceived susceptibility and severity related to COVID-19 and decreased perceived benefits and increased barriers to exercise. This relationship was not found regarding nutrition behavior change. These results encourage public health practitioners to understand how an individual's perceived feelings about a threat may affect exercise and nu…
Health Reporting Characteristics among Journalists in Nepal Utilizing a One Health Framework
Journalists play a crucial role in the dissemination of health-related information. In developing countries, such as Nepal, the media are integral in shaping the national agenda and informing the public of important health issues. With an increasing need for a collaborative effort to attain optimal health for people, animals, and the environment, the One Health approach was used to characterize health reporting in Nepal. A comprehensive survey wa…
The Use of Penalized Regression Analysis to Identify County-Level Demographic and Socioeconomic Variables Predictive of Increased Covid-19 Cumulative Case Rates in the State of Georgia
Systemic inequity concerning the social determinants of health has been known to affect morbidity and mortality for decades. Significant attention has focused on the individual-level demographic and co-morbid factors associated with rates and mortality of COVID-19. However, less attention has been given to the county-level social determinants of health that are the main drivers of health inequities. To identify the degree to which social determin…
Association Between Earthquake Exposures and Mental Health Outcomes in Phulpingdanda Village After the 2015 Nepal Earthquakes
Online surveillance of media health event reporting in Nepal
BACKGROUND: Traditional media and the internet are crucial sources of health information. Media can significantly shape public opinion, knowledge and understanding of emerging and endemic health threats. As digital communication rapidly progresses, local access and dissemination of health information contribute significantly to global disease detection and reporting. METHODS: Health event reports in Nepal (October 2013-December 2014) were used to…
Can school children reliably collect rural household data in developing countries? Evidence from Nepal
Household surveys are an important tool for assessing the status or trends of rural households, farms, and communities, and for conducting research. Conducting surveys in rural communities in developing countries is expensive and logistically challenging. We investigated whether primary school children could efficiently collect household or farm data as part of their homework. We hypothesised that primary school students can collect accurate data…
Exploring Perceptions and Experiences of Bolivian Health Researchers With Research Ethics
In Bolivia, there is increasing interest in incorporating research ethics into study procedures, but there have been inconsistent application of research ethics practices. Minimal data exist regarding the experiences of researchers concerning the ethical conduct of research. A cross-sectional study was administered to Bolivian health leaders with research experience (n = 82) to document their knowledge, perceptions, and experiences of research et…
Capacity building efforts and perceptions for wildlife surveillance to detect zoonotic pathogens
A One Health approach to capacity building applied at local and global scales will have the greatest impact on improving zoonotic pathogen surveillance in wildlife. This approach will involve increasing communication and cooperation across ministries and sectors so that experts and stakeholders work together to identify and mitigate surveillance gaps. Over time, this transdisciplinary approach to capacity building will help overcome existing chal…
