Facilitation of Health Plan‐Clinic Partnerships to Improve Colorectal Cancer Screening for Rural Medicaid Enrollees
Behavioral activation for social connection
Social disconnection represents a growing public health concern. While Behavioral Activation (BA), an evidence-based intervention that reduces behavioral withdrawal by increasing engagement in meaningful activities, demonstrates efficacy for depression, its potential for enhancing social connection remains largely unexplored. The purpose of this systematic review was to synthesize current evidence for BA’s impact on social connection and develop …
A Matter of Principle
U.S. policy elites regularly claim that local populations welcome U.S. military intervention on their territory, which implies a powerful moral justification for war. Does the consent of the “intervened population” affect U.S. public support for military intervention? A large literature shows that U.S. support for war follows cost-benefit calculations. In this view, ordinary Americans are prudent, not principled, about war—specifically, they supp…
Gendered Governance
How can anticipatory action programming support women? Application of the reach-benefit-empower-transform framework in Nepal and Nigeria
Insurgent Conscription for Capacity and Control
Though previous research has recognized that armed groups do not always recruit fighters on a voluntary basis, varieties and determinants of insurgent forced recruitment are still poorly understood. What drives armed groups to employ certain methods of coercive recruitment? This article conceptualizes and studies a particular form of coerced recruitment—insurgent conscription—whereby rebel groups rely on their administrative capacity to compel ci…
Engaging with Rural Communities for Colorectal Cancer Screening Outreach Using Modified Boot Camp Translation
Using a modified version of BCT delivered in a virtual format, we were able to successfully capture community input to adapt a CRC outreach program for use in rural settings. Program materials will be tested during a pragmatic trial to address rural CRC screening disparities
Enhancing agency and empowerment in agricultural development projects
Development interventions increasingly include women's empowerment and gender equality among their objectives, but evaluating their impact has been stymied by the lack of measures that are comparable across interventions. This paper synthesizes the findings of 11 mixed-methods impact evaluations of agricultural development projects from South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa that were part of the Gender, Agriculture, and Assets Project, Phase 2 (GAAP2…
Forced displacement, social cohesion, and the state
Gendered barriers and opportunities in Kenya's informal dairy sector
Informal milk trading in peri-urban Nairobi plays a key role in supporting both livelihoods and nutrition, particularly among poor households. Gender dynamics affect who is involved in and benefits from milk trading. To better understand gendered constraints and opportunities in informal, peri-urban dairy marketing, a qualitative study was conducted in 2017 with 45 men and 50 women milk traders in Dagoretti, a peri-urban area of Nairobi, Kenya. T…
Covid-19 Evaluation and Testing Strategies in a Federally Qualified Health Center
Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) are organizations that provide primary care services to our nation’s most vulnerable communities. This nurse practitioner–led intervention sought to double the number of available COVID-19 evaluation and testing appointments within an FQHC. Results showed a significant increase in the availability of respiratory clinic appointments, the number of completed appointments, and the number of tests completed.…
Measuring Women's Empowerment
Time use, or how women and men allocate their time, is an important element of empowerment processes. To extend this area of study, this article proposes and explores the concept of time-use agency, which shifts the focus from the amount of time individuals spend on activities to the strategic choices they make about how to allocate their time. It draws on 92 semi-structured interviews from three qualitative studies in Benin, Malawi and Nigeria t…
Listeners are initially flexible in updating phonetic beliefs over time
Structural Transformation and Gendered Transitions to Adulthood among Rural Youth
Using frameworks on gendered transitions to adulthood, we analyse nationally-representative, sex-disaggregated data from 36 countries to examine how structural transformation (share of GDP from non-agriculture) and rural transformation (agricultural value added per worker) are associated with landownership, labour force participation, and sector of employment for rural young women and men. Transformation has different implications for young men’s…
Encouraging Gender Conformity or Sanctioning Nonconformity? Felt Pressure from Parents, Peers, and the Self
Category labels induce boundary-dependent perceptual warping in learned speech categories
Adults tend to perceive speech sounds from their native language as members of distinct and stable categories; however, they fail to perceive differences between many non-native speech sounds without a great deal of training. The present study investigates the effects of categorization training on adults' ability to discriminate non-native phonetic contrasts. It was hypothesized that only individuals who successfully learned the appropriate categ…
