  • Will tobacco price increases lead more people who smoke to vape? The results from a discrete choice experiment amongst U.S. adults

    Open AccessGilda Zarate-Gonzalez, Paul Brown et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    Findings indicate that increasing the price of cigarettes would lead to a limited increase in the probability of people who smoke switch to vaping. The study advances our understanding of the views of current nonsmokers toward cigarettes and vaping, suggesting that price increases and increased knowledge of addiction would likely deter nonsmokers from vaping. Changing the amount of nicotine associated with smoking would increase the probability o…

  • Health Insurance Coverage for Farmworkers in California After the Introduction of the Affordable Care Act

    Nimrat K Sandhu, Ron Strochlic et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2023References: 20

    BACKGROUND: Previous studies have found that health insurance coverage expanded for farmworkers from 2011-2012 to 2015-2016 due in part to the introduction of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). This study examines the continued impact of the ACA on insurance coverage for farmworkers to 2018 and identifies barriers to further expansion. METHODS: A mixed-methods approach was utilized. Weighted statistical analyses were conducted …

  • International collaborative follow-up investigation of graduating high school students’ understandings of the nature of scientific inquiry

    Judith Lederman, Norman G Lederman et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Science…2021

    Understandings of the nature of scientific inquiry (NOSI), as opposed to engaging students in inquiry learning experiences, are included in science education reform documents around the world. However, little is known about what students have learned about NOSI during their pre-college school years. The purpose of this large-scale follow-up international project (i.e. 32 countries and regions, spanning six continents and including 3917 students f…

  • Mental Well-Being during Covid-19

    Open AccessBernard Yeboah-Asiamah Asare, Elizabeth Thomas et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has devastated the world, and its mental health impact has been recognized in the general population. However, little is known about the mental health impact of COVID-19 on fly-in fly-out (FIFO) workers, who are flown to temporarily stay and work in remote areas, during this pandemic. This study examined the mental well-being of FIFO workers in the mining industry during COVID-19 restrictions in Western Austral…

  • Quantum Theory and Samuel Beckett's Endgame

    Paul Brown, Paul Tolliver BrownARTICLEConfigurations2021

    With an especial focus on Endgame, the author demonstrates how a number of Beckett’s works exhibit a strong affinity with ideas put forth by quantum physicists in the early twentieth century. Many of Beckett’s novels present a failure of ontology and depict elements of discontinuity that appear to be in direct conversation with discoveries in the subatomic universe, and these ideas culminate in his later play. The author argues that parody become…

  • Enhancing nursing home care for seniors

    Veronique M Boscart, Véronique Boscart et al.ARTICLEEducational Gerontology2020

    Nursing Assistants (NAs) are the largest workforce in nursing homes, but often lack adequate preparation for their role. The Living Classroom (LC) is an integrated learning approach, whereby a NA program is delivered in a nursing home (NH) in collaboration with a community college. This paper describes the implementation and evaluation of the LC. Mixed methods were used to gather data from 48 NA students, 5 faculty, and 42 NH staff over 30 weeks.…

  • The Rise of Valley Fever

    Open AccessLeslie Wilson, Jie Ting et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2019

    Coccidioidomycosis (CM) is a fungal infection endemic in the southwestern United States (US). In California, CM incidence increased more than 213% (from 6.0/100,000 (2014) to 18.8/100,000 (2017)) and continues to increase as rates in the first half of 2018 are double that of 2017 during the same period. This cost-of-illness study provides essential information to be used in health planning and funding as CM infections continue to surge. We used a…

  • Developing sustainability learning in business school curricula – productive boundary objects and participatory processes

    Melissa Edwards, Paul Brown et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Education Research2019Cited by: 3References: 6

    Sustainability learning is holistic and complex as it draws on diverse disciplines and can be interpreted differently within individual pedagogies. Embedding sustainability across and within business schools relies on developing suitable boundary objects. These may include representations such as models, frameworks or classificatory schemes that are malleable enough to be adapted for use within the disparate disciplines and pedagogies, yet durabl…

  • Associations between brain drawings following mild traumatic brain injury and negative illness perceptions and post-concussion symptoms at 4 years

    Open AccessKelly Jones, Kelly M Jones et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2019References: 39

    Characteristics of patient's drawings have been linked to short-term health-related outcomes across a range of health conditions. This study examined associations between brain drawings at 1 month and illness perceptions and post-concussion symptoms at 4 years in 92 adults following mild traumatic brain injury. Greater damage depicted at 1 month was correlated with perceived greater impact on life, duration of injury, symptoms of brain injury, em…

  • To live an ordinary life

    Laura Wilkinson-Meyers, Paul Brown et al.ARTICLEDisability & Society2015Cited by: 2References: 4

    Disabled people face increased risks of living in poverty largely due to lower incomes and extra resource requirements compared to non-disabled people. This study incorporated the social model of disability with an economic approach to costing to estimate the additional costs required by people with a physical impairment to achieve an adequate standard of living in New Zealand. Budgets estimating the additional equipment, modifications, transport…

  • Bodily Resurrection and Ethics in 1 Cor 15

    Paul Brown, Paul J BrownBOOKBodily Resurrection and Ethics in…2014

    New Testament scholars have long recognized a relationship between the future resurrection and ethics. Paul J. Brown contributes to this ongoing discussion by tracing Paul's logic for connecting the moral imperatives in 1 Cor 15 to the bodily resurrection. The author examines the afterlife belief system of the resurrection-deniers and proposes that their eschatology was informed by Greco-Roman mythology. This enabled the Corinthians to embrace th…

  • When Health Policy and Empirical Evidence Collide

    Anna V Song, Paul Brown et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2014Cited by: 2References: 101

    In its graphic warning label regulations on cigarette packages, the Food and Drug Administration severely discounts the benefits of reduced smoking because of the lost “pleasure” smokers experience when they stop smoking; this is quantified as lost “consumer surplus.” Consumer surplus is grounded in rational choice theory. However, empirical evidence from psychological cognitive science and behavioral economics demonstrates that the assumptions o…
