Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Related to Mold Remediation Following Hurricane Ida in Southeast Louisiana
Hurricane Ida, a Category 4 hurricane, made landfall in southern Louisiana in August of 2021, causing widespread wind damage and flooding. The objective of this study was to investigate knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to post-hurricane mold exposure and cleanup among residents and workers in areas of Louisiana affected by Hurricane Ida and assess changes in knowledge, attitudes, and practices that have occurred over the past 16 years …
Applying the Social Vulnerability Index as a Leading Indicator to Protect Fire-Based Emergency Medical Service Responders’ Health
During emergencies, areas with higher social vulnerability experience an increased risk for negative health outcomes. However, research has not extrapolated this concept to understand how the workers who respond to these areas may be affected. Researchers from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) merged approximately 160,000 emergency response calls received from three fire departments during the COVID-19 pandemic wit…
Prediabetes Subtypes
ObjectiveTo examine the role of diabetes risk factors in the prediction of prediabetes and to explore patterns of risk factors and behavioural vulnerability in adults diagnosed with prediabetes.MethodParticipants were 623 Australian adults screened for diabetes and subsequently diagnosed with diabetes (n = 28), prediabetes (n = 492), or no glucose impairment (n = 103). Measures included risk factors for diabetes (age, sex, ethnicity, family histo…
Predictors of Diabetes Self‐care, Metabolic Control, and Mental Health in Youth with Type 1 Diabetes
The purpose of this study was to explore the psychosocial predictors of diabetes self‐care (adherence to care regimes), metabolic control (glycated haemoglobin), and mental health among rural‐ and urban‐dwelling youth with type 1 diabetes. One hundred and twenty three adolescents/young adults (aged 13−25 years, mean = 16 years, standard deviation = 3.8 years) with type 1 diabetes, 50 males and 73 females, completed questionnaires reporting on dia…
Peak and mystical experiences in intimate relationships
The focus of this paper is intimate relationship peak experiences arising from loving or sexual involvement. Different types of peak experiences were described and their relevance to relationship functioning explored qualitatively and quantitatively. In a convenience sample (N = 298), participants who identified having peak experiences were on average significantly older, more passionate, more sexually responsive and had less negative affect. Par…
The Prediction of Gambling Behavior and Problem Gambling From Attitudes and Perceived Norms
The aims of this study were to characterise gambling attitudes and social norms among adult Australians, and to evaluate whether gambling behavior (frequency) and problem gambling could be predicted by a model combining attitudes and social influences. With a sample of 215 late adolescents and adults, the Theory of Reasoned Action was found significantly to predict gambling frequency and problem gambling, with intentions to gamble predicting beha…

Modern Amish farming as ecological agriculture
Critics of industrial agriculture and advocates of ecological agriculture have cited Amish farming as a model of stewardship and sustainability. Amish farming in St. Lawrence County, New York, embodied ecological agriculture in some respects but not others. In comparison with non‐Amish neighbors, Amish farms were smaller in scale, more diverse, and less integrated into the market economy. On the other hand, use of fertilizers and pesticides for c…
Prediction of Cervical Cancer Screening Using the Theory of Reasoned Action
Rates of Pap smears among 72 adult women were shown to be suboptimal and predicted indirectly by attitudes and subjective norms. Women perceived these examinations to be unpleasant and embarrassing
Fear of Weight Gain
Correlations between fear of weight gain, dieting, risk-taking, and fears associated with adult status were observed for 110 school-aged adolescents
Australian Adolescents' Perceptions of Health-Related Risks
The aim of this study was to evaluate adolescents' perceptions of their risks in five health-related areas and ascertain the relationship between risk perception and actual risky behavior. As well, five "event characteristics" postulated by Weinstein to be associated with unrealistic optimism about future life events were assessed to determine their links with beliefs about personal risk in the areas chosen: AIDS, STDs, serious car accident, lung…
Aids, adolescents, and sexual risk taking
This study investigated the validity of the Health Belief Model when applied to adolescents' responses to the threat of AIDS. A sample of 195 sexually active 18-year-old university students was questioned about their sexual behaviour, their perceptions of the seriousness of AIDS, their own susceptibility to the disease, the costs and benefits of using condoms, their general health motivation, their sources of information, and their knowledge abou…

Balance versus Main Effects Androgyny
This study investigated the relationships between psychological androgyny and adjustment for 630 adolescents from three ethnic groups, Anglo-Australian, Greek-Australian, and Italian-Australian. Androgyny was conceptualized in two ways—main effects and balance androgyny—following Taylor and Hall's (1982) review. For Anglo- and Italian-Australian adolescents, the main effect of androgyny was associated with adjustment, that is, a large number of a…

Sex-roles
The study investigated the relationship between sex-role, age and self esteem for 100 male and 100 female adults and 100 male and 100 female youths. Using the Bern Sex-Role Inventory (1974), older females were found to be more sex-typed than younger females, but there were no generation differences in sex-typing for the males. Masculine and Androgynous groups showed significantly higher self-esteem than Feminine and Undifferentiated groups, but t…
