News media attention to the impact of the Covid pandemic on interpersonal violence
During the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers and service providers were aware of the consequences of social conditions on interpersonal violence. Although news media were instrumental in bringing attention to interpersonal violence, there is a lack of research on the news media trajectory of attention to interpersonal violence following the pandemic. In this research, we analyzed 605 news media articles published between 2020 and 2023 related to the…
Breaking Bread” With Respondents
Findings indicate high response rates are achievable despite high survey burden (ie, detailed information, length of survey). We found that sample screening was critical and that food-based incentives made an impression on respondents that positively impacted the researcher-respondent relationship. Providing detailed methodology and additional literature will assist researchers working with similar populations-a gap in the applied methodological …
Placing African American museums in the American tourism landscape
According to the Association of African American Museums (AAAM), there are more than 200 African American history and cultural museums—or other sites with substantial African American collections such as libraries and archives—across the U.S. Many of these museums had their start shortly after the height of the Civil Rights Movement, with a surge in establishments in the 1970s. Black museums serve to decenter White stories of America and refocus …
A more perfect union? The place of Black lives in presidential plantation sites
While Mount Vernon, Monticello, Montpelier, and Highland work to recover the lives of people enslaved by Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe, their institutional missions emphasize the importance of these four men within American history. The resulting impediments to honoring Black lives within these spaces can be best understood using the analytical framework of reputational politics and by recognizing the roles visitors have in reproduci…
Heritage tourism, historic roadside markers and “just representation” in Tennessee, USA
The American landscape is increasingly populated with memorial tourist sites showing a devotion to the past. In the last published statewide study of Tennessee historical roadside markers, Jones (1988 Jones, J. B. (1988). An analysis of national register listings and roadside historic markers in Tennessee: A study of two public history programs.

Considerations of the impacts of Covid-19 on domestic violence in the United States
"Stay home, save lives" has been shown to reduce the impacts of COVID-19; however, it is crucial to recognize that efforts not to stress healthcare systems may have unintended social consequences for domestic violence. This commentary addresses domestic violence as an important social and public health implication of COVID-19. As a pandemic with a high contagion level, necessary social distancing measures have been put in place across the world t…
Those People Count”
There is a movement to promote naloxone adoption by law enforcement and other stakeholders in the state of Mississippi. The purpose of this study is to understand how local media are framing the conversation about naloxone products, and to better understand how it might affect naloxone adoption among law enforcement. We searched for news articles published in Mississippi from January 2012 to July 2018 mentioning the words Narcan ® and/or naloxone…
The Local Role of Southern Tourism Plantations in Defining a Larger Southern Regional Identity as Reflected in Tourists' Surveys
To what extent does local variation exist in the expressed interests of planta- tion museum tourists? While the study of plantation museums is of growing importance in the tourism literature, these existing studies have tended to focus on a single site or a single region. This study examines data collected at several southern plantations across multiple smaller areas in the U.S. Southeast. Specifically, we are curious about tourists’ interests in…
If the Lord Is Willing and the Creek Don't Rise
Objective This article examines the association between religious attendance and disaster recovery in Mississippi and Alabama. Methods We use ordinary least squares regression to determine the effect of sociodemographic variables, social network size, and religious attendance on one's self‐described level of disaster recovery. Results We find a robust association between frequent religious attendance and a greater level of recovery. Somewhat surp…
Social Network Gap Analysis Evaluation
Despite the growing emphasis on collaboration in public health, there remains a dearth of literature providing tools for the evaluation of coalitions and councils. This study employed social network gap analysis as an evaluation tool. Survey data collected from the Southeastern Health Equity Council members were used to assess connections among members as a whole, by committee, by state, and by health specialty area. Analysis of how well Southeas…
Following the story
Museums and heritage tourism sites are highly curated places of memory work whose function is the assembling and ordering of space and narrative to contour visitors’ experiences of the past. Variations in such experiences within and between sites, however, necessitates a method that: (1) captures how guides, visitors, and exhibits interact within spaces when representing and performing history and (2) allows researchers to document those variatio…
Domestic Violence and Pregnancy
The lack of community-level data was a challenge to HAHC in identifying focus and priority areas, but this was overcome by shared leadership and community engagement. After completion of the CAP, 100% of expecting mothers receiving prenatal care in the area will be screened for domestic violence

Can Plantation Museums Do Full Justice to the Story of the Enslaved? A Discussion of Problems, Possibilities, and the Place of Memory
This article, structured as a prompt-and-response work, is authored by members of a research team investigating how slavery is absent and present at tourism plantation museums in the U.S. South. The prompt for the discussion grew out of E. Arnold Modlin’s concern that, even at museums where narratives and landscapes center on enslaved people, the presence of the master and enslaver within the same space ensures that once-enslaved people are alway…
Social Representational Communities and the Imagined Antebellum South
Tourists come to museums with varied expectations and leave appreciating different aspects of their presentations. Thus, tourists/audiences are primed to see, hear, and experience certain representations and narratives when they enter museums. This is particularly so with plantation museums. Most Americans possess at the very least a vague sense of the antebellum South. They have a vague sense of a time and of a place populated by wealthy and est…
The Value of Social Network Analysis for Evaluating Academic-Community Partnerships and Collaborations for Social Determinants of Health Research
The increased frequency and level of collaboration among the Coalition network was accompanied by a higher level of collaboration among the coalition members as posited by social network and capital theories. As such, the community engagement fostered through the Coalition has increased and thus, to date, the Gulf States Health Policy Center has been effective in promoting partnerships and collaboration
Elections, news cycles, and attention to disasters
Disasters are often assumed to be value-free because they are "blind to politics." Here, it is argued that this was not the case in relation to these two disasters. Thus, the authors encouraged more research be conducted to clarify the impact that political elections have on strategic news coverage of disasters and ultimately on disaster response
Who are they? Visitors to Louisiana's River Road plantations
This article examines the responses of 448 tourists to an exit survey at four Louisiana River Road tourist plantations. We investigate and discuss the relationships between the demographics of the tourists and their interests as they relate to tourist plantations. Cluster analysis of the visitors' interests indicates that visitors typically fall into one of four interest clusters: “Everything is great!”; “Culture and the Enslaved”; Culture withou…
