Learning the ropes
Navigating the climate crisis is every archaeologist’s responsibility. However, knowing where to start may be difficult for some. This persuasive article provides archaeologists with a starting point in augmenting their climate heritage practice. Some of the ways archaeologists can expand their archaeological practice to further climate heritage efforts are through revisiting state and national site stewardship programs, joining research collabor…
Evaluating the Effects of the Crescendo Programme on Music and Self-Regulation with 5–6-Year-Old Pupils
Crescendo is a music-based social and emotional learning (SEL) programme designed for primary/elementary school children living in disadvantaged communities. It is a community-led, orchestra-delivered, and evidence-informed initiative aimed at improving children’s musical and SEL outcomes through sustained engagement. Children growing up in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas often experience challenges with SEL and limited access to orchestral…
Maternal and Infant Health Inequality
We use linked administrative data on the universe of California births to provide novel evidence on economic inequality in infant and maternal health. Infants and mothers at the top of the income distribution have worse birth and morbidity outcomes than their lowest-income counterparts, but are nevertheless the least likely to die in the year following birth. Racial disparities swamp these income disparities, with no racial convergence in health …
The Effect of Medicaid on Crime
Those involved with the criminal justice system have disproportionately high rates of mental illness and substance-use disorders, prompting speculation that health insurance, by improving treatment of these conditions, could reduce crime. Using the 2008 Oregon Health Insurance Experiment, which randomly made some low-income adults eligible to apply for Medicaid, we find no statistically significant impact of Medicaid coverage on criminal charges …
Healthy lives, enriched minds
This study is the first instance where population wide, linked administrative data is used to examine the associations between educational attainment and students' physical and mental health in NI. The importance of mental health and the greater educational disadvantage some social groups may experience are key implications for policy
Assessing Attachment Classification Difference Between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Children
This systematic review sought to investigate differences in attachment classification between Indigenous and non-Indigenous children, measures used to determine Indigenous attachment classification, and adjustments made to measurements to ensure relevance to Indigenous participants. Owing to diversity in cultural context and caregiving arrangements between Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations, classification differences were expected between…
A COPD Self-Management Day
Introduction: The comprehensive educational component of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is an important component of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) self-management. However, depending on circumstances PR may not be convenient or appropriate for an individual patient and thus these patients do not access the educational component of PR. Background: COPD, due to its symptoms imposes a significant burden on the affected person in terms …

The Lifestart Programme is a universal and structured child-centred programme of information and practical activity for parents of children aged from birth to five years of age. In total, 424 parents and children participated, and outcomes were measured at pre-test (child age < 12 months), mi…
Launching HMS Florida
Overview Mobile apps provide archaeologists a way to engage the public and local communities in efforts to protect heritage at risk. This article discusses community engagement apps used by archaeologists who specialize in collecting data about climate change and its impact on cultural sites. It provides an overview of the process by which the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) developed various workflows over the last few years to engage …
North American Heritage at Risk (Nahar) Research Pipeline and Collaborative Community
The North American Heritage at Risk (NAHAR) collaborative, which formed during the COVID-19 pandemic, allowed for heritage-at-risk partners to shift from reactive to proactive strategies. The result was the creation of the NAHAR research pipeline to respond to landscapes at risk. The pipeline includes modeling of environmental changes to the landscape; monitoring sites to verify location and assess condition; meeting with the public, descendant c…
Archaeology as a method and tool for resilience
Climate change is having an immediate and devastating effect on archaeological sites in Florida. The Florida Public Archaeology Network's Heritage Monitoring Scouts (HMS Florida) program empowers local communities to document the impacts of climate change at sites throughout the state. Our ability to document sites shows humanity's resilience to climate fluctuations in the past while also making it clear that adaptation and mitigation of coastal …
Amplifying similarity to promote college STEM instructor–student mentoring relationship quality
Introduction: Despite numerous (co)curricular efforts, diversifying the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) research workforce remains challenging and large segments of the U.S. population continue to be underrepresented. Promoting instructor-student mentoring relationship quality is a potentially important mechanism to support biomedical workforce diversity, as relationship quality has been positively associated with learnin…
The influence of socio-demographics and school factors on GCSE attainment
Socio-demographic background and school-level factors are influential on an individual’s educational outcomes. However, limited research has had the ability to examine the impact of a pupil’s socio-demographic profile and school-level factors, whilst accounting for the multidimensional structure of socio-economic status. Using data that combined the Census (2011), School Leavers Survey and School Census for the first time in Northern Ireland (n =…
Assessing Motivations for Punishment
The purpose of these studies was to develop a novel measurement, the Sentencing Goals Inventory (SGI), for understanding the underlying people’s motivations for punishing justice-involved individuals. Prior scales have focused on punishment motives such as utilitarianism (incapacitation or deterrence) and retribution (“just deserts”) but have not assessed a rehabilitation motive (punishment with the goal of addressing the cause of criminality) in…
The Origins Project Biobank
Early onset Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), including obesity, allergies, and mental ill-health in childhood, present a serious and increasing threat to lifelong health and longevity. The ORGINS Project (ORIGINS) addresses the urgent need for multidisciplinary efforts to understand the detrimental multisystem impacts of modern environments using well-curated large-scale longitudinal biological sample collections. ORGINS is a prospective communi…
This is Not Us/This is Us
On March 15th, 2019, a terrorist targeted two mosques in Christchurch, resulting in 51 deaths and many more injured. In the wake of these events, the Aotearoa New Zealand community struggled to make sense of what they meant for who “we” are. This article traces developments and tensions within the discourse that emerged in the two weeks following the attacks, identifying three significant framings: discourses of unity, innocence, and responsibili…

Introduction
Mental health and the law
Mental disorders have high prevalence for disability and almost 80% of the global burden occurs in low- and middle-income countries. The impacts of mental health conditions can affect many sectors of society and threaten peace, human rights and development. However, international law jurisprudence has not sufficiently developed to guide mental health governance. This paper reviews the international legal protections for people who experience ment…

An ethical engagement
This paper reports on the experiences of creative practice graduate researchers and academic staff as they seek to comply with the requirements of the Australian National Statement on the Ethical Conduct of Research Involving Humans. The research was conducted over a two-year period (2015 to 2017) as part of a wider project ‘iDARE – Developing New Approaches to Ethics and Research Integrity Training through Challenges Presented by Creative Practi…
How You Bully a Girl
Over the past decade, sexual rumor spreading, slut-shaming, and homophobic labeling have become central examples of bullying among young women. This article examines the role these practices- what adults increasingly call 'bullying' and what girls often call 'drama'- play in girls' gendering processes. Through interviews with 54 class and racially diverse late adolescent girls, I explore the content and functions of 'sexual drama.' All participan…
Toward a Typology of Abusive Women
Based on previous typologies of domestically violent men ( Holtzworth-Munroe & Stuart, 1994 ), women who were referred to a treatment agency for abusive behavior ( N = 52) were categorized into two groups based on the breadth of their use of violence: Partner-Only (PO) and Generally Violent (GV). PO women were hypothesized to use reactive violence, for example, out of fear or in self-defense, whereas GV women were hypothesized to use instrumental…
Actual and desired duration of foreplay and intercourse
One hundred and fifty-two heterosexual couples reported their actual and ideal duration of foreplay and intercourse, as well as their perceptions of their partners' desired duration of foreplay and intercourse. Further, participants reported the duration of foreplay and intercourse that they felt most men and most women wanted. Ideal length of foreplay did not differ for men and women. However, men reported a significantly longer ideal duration o…
The symbolic violence of setting
‘Setting’ is a widespread practice in the UK , despite little evidence of its efficacy and substantial evidence of its detrimental impact on those allocated to the lowest sets. Taking a Bourdieusian approach, we propose that setting can be understood as a practice through which the social and cultural reproduction of dominant power relations is enacted within schools. Drawing on survey data from 12,178 Year 7 (age 11/12) students and discussion g…
Invited Commentary
Scientific research has made major contributions to adolescent health by providing insights into factors that influence it and by defining ways to improve it. However, US adolescent sexual and reproductive health policies-particularly sexuality health education policies and programs-have not benefited from the full scope of scientific understanding. From 1998 to 2009, federal funding for sexuality education focused almost exclusively on ineffecti…

The Community Attitudes Toward Sex Offenders Scale
Objectives: The objective of this study was to examine the nature of individual attitudes toward sex offenders. Because the term “sex offender” tends to evoke strong emotions, and given that open-ended self reports tend to be highly subjective, particularly in the context of such pointed terminology, this study sought to develop an attitude assessment tool that addresses specific domains found in the literature. Methods: Through a number of itera…

The ACA Medicaid Expansion in Michigan and Financial Health
This article examines how the financial health changes following an individual's enrollment in Michigan's Medicaid program (Healthy Michigan Program, HMP). We use unique data that link credit reports of HMP enrollees to Medicaid administrative data on enrollment and use of healthcare services. We find that Medicaid enrollment is associated with large improvements in several measures of financial health, including reductions in unpaid bills, medic…

Key Aspects of Psychological Change in Residents of a Prison Therapeutic Community
In an attempt to gain a person‐centred perspective of therapeutic change, exploratory focus groups were conducted with men in Dovegate Prison's Therapeutic Community (TC). Residents identified change as a process comprising variability, gradual movement and differential paces. The process was seen to involve self‐referential properties, interpersonal facets and challenges. Residents distinguished two significant change events: identifying aspects…

“I Am What You Make Me. I Am Who I Am”
The growing accessibility of digital technologies has led to an increase in media projects enabling young people to connect and communicate with international peers. These projects are often uncritically celebrated as opportunities for young people to learn something about a cultural “Other” and, in so doing, enhance their tolerance of difference, their consciousness of global issues, and their appreciation of diversity. Projects conceptualised i…
Enlightened Feudalism
Jeremy Hayhoe, in this thoroughly researched and carefully considered book, argues that the lords’ increasing use of their courts to prosecute wood theft, non-payment of dues, poaching and other offences contributed to undermining the legitimacy of these courts and helped incite the revolts against the seigneurial regime during the revolutionary period. Seigneurial tribunals permitted the lords to enforce their privileges more cheaply and thoroug…

The Effect of the Massachusetts Reform on Health Care Utilization
The 2006 Massachusetts health care reform expanded insurance coverage in the state to near-universal levels. As the uninsured gained coverage, their out-of-pocket costs of medical care fell, inducing them to seek more care. This paper analyzes the effect of the reform on reported health care utilization and outcomes by both synthesizing the existing research on the Massachusetts health care reform and providing new evidence using the National Hea…
Practicing Psychologists’ Sexual Intervention Self-Efficacy and Willingness to Treat Sexual Issues
In defense of danger
In 2004, Ashbourne High School 1 staged the first school-sponsored student performance of The Vagina Monologues, sparking a community controversy covered in the local and national media about the sexuality of minors. Through a content analysis of archival documents and media coverage, this study examines the discursive politics of this community debate over sex, youth, and schools. The author finds that underlying this community’s abundant and at…

Early Coverage, Access, Utilization, and Health Effects Associated With the Affordable Care Act Medicaid Expansions
BACKGROUND: In 2014, only 26 states and the District of Columbia chose to implement the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) Medicaid expansions for low-income adults. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether the state Medicaid expansions were associated with changes in insurance coverage, access to and utilization of health care, and self-reported health. DESIGN: Comparison of outcomes before and after the expansions in states that did and did…
Paving the way for the use of the SDQ in economic evaluations of school-based population health interventions

Health and Access to Care during the First 2 Years of the ACA Medicaid Expansions
BACKGROUND: By September 2015, a total of 29 states and Washington, D.C., were participating in Medicaid expansions under the Affordable Care Act. We examined whether Medicaid expansions were associated with changes in insurance coverage, health care use, and health among low-income adults. METHODS: We compared changes in outcomes during the 2 years after implementation of the Medicaid expansion (2014 and 2015) relative to the 4 years before expa…
Secure girls
Public discourse is replete with talk about the fragility of young women’s self-esteem, linking poor self-concept to a range of social problems associated with girlhood. We know little about the impact of these ideas on young women. In this article, we examine interviews with 66 girls, aged 14–22, to understand how they talk about the link between self-esteem and sexual expression in everyday life. We find that girls’ talk about self-esteem uses …
Heritage Monitoring Scouts
Along Florida’s nearly 13,000 km of shoreline, nearly 4000 archaeological sites and over 600 recorded historic cemeteries are at risk from climate change impacts including coastal erosion and a 2-metre rise in sea level. In 2016, the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) created the Heritage Monitoring Scouts (HMS Florida) programme to engage the public in monitoring sites at risk. The programme grew quickly during the first year of operation…
Childhood Medicaid Coverage and Later-Life Health Care Utilization
Exploiting a discontinuity in childhood Medicaid eligibility based on date of birth, we find that more years of childhood eligibility are associated with fewer hospitalizations in adulthood. For blacks, we find a 7% to 15% decrease in hospitalizations and a suggestive 2% to 5% decrease in emergency department visits, but no similar effect for nonblacks. The effects are pronounced for utilization related to chronic illnesses and for patients livin…
