Care packages to promote universal suicide prevention for remote Alaska Native communities: What worked
PURPOSE: Alaska Native (AN) youth living in remote Alaska suffer disproportionately from suicide when compared to all other American youth. Promoting Community Conversations About Research to End Suicide (PC CARES) is an intervention led by trained community facilitators, which shares scientific best practices to prevent youth suicide with community adults to spark feasible, culturally tailored personal and collective action. After training 34 AN…
Mixed messages & bounded rationality: The perverse consequences of realIDfor immigration policy
Policies concerning undocumented immigrants are inevitably ambivalent, creating uncertainty and confusion in the implementation process. We identify a clear example of this ambivalence —U.S. law setting standards for determining the credibility of asylum seekers—that resulted in an increase in asylum grants despite policymakers' intention to make it harder for individuals to obtain the status. We argue that this law, The REAL ID Act of 2005, sent…
Who Controls the Immigration Bureaucracy? The Relative Influence of the Three Branches Over Asylum Policy Implementation
At the center of contentious debates concerning U.S. asylum policy are immigration judges, bureaucrats who decide life and death cases on a daily basis. Congress, the executive and the courts compete for influence over these key actors — administrative judges distinct from those examined in much of the bureaucratic control literature. They are hired, fired, promoted or demoted by executive officials; face congressional oversight; and must follow …
Assessing care-giving demands, resources and costs of family/friend caregivers for persons with mental health disorders: A scoping review
As mental health (MH) care has shifted from institutional settings to the community, families and friends are responsible for providing the majority of the care at home. The substantial literature on the adverse effects experienced by caregivers has focused mainly on psychological morbidity. Less attention has been paid to how caregivers for persons with MH disorders interact with larger social systems and the impacts of factors such as financial…
Agency Characteristics and the Use of Executive Orders
Past scholarship has offered varying explanations for why presidents choose to use executive orders. However, to this point, much of what we know of unilateral powers does not adequately address the role the bureaucracy plays in the president's decision. This research seeks to account for bureaucratic factors as a strategic presidential consideration in the employment of such directives. I classify executive orders from 1989–2012 based on which a…

Predictors of caregiver burden across the home-based palliative care trajectory in Ontario, Canada
Family caregivers of patients enrolled in home-based palliative care programmes provide unpaid care and assistance with daily activities to terminally ill family members. Caregivers often experience caregiver burden, which is an important predictor of anxiety and depression that can extend into bereavement. We conducted a longitudinal, prospective cohort study to comprehensively assess modifiable and non-modifiable patient and caregiver factors t…
The epidemiology of lethal violence in Darfur: Using micro-data to explore complex patterns of ongoing armed conflict
Don't You Forget About Me: An exploration of the “Maddie Phenomenon” on YouTube
In June 2008 the search term “Madeleine McCann” generated around 3700 videos on YouTube, attracting over seven million text responses. This research project used generic analysis to allocate videos to categories according to their content. Using critical discourse analysis, the nature of the comments posted in response to the videos was then assessed. Both methods were deployed to explore three broad research questions. First, what kind of conten…
