Climbing out of Coal Country: The Economic Impact of Rock Climbing in West Virginia’s New River Gorge
This study examines the economic impact of rock climbing in West Virginia’s New River Gorge. Central Appalachia’s current economy is partly the result of uneven development through resource extraction wherein value is created by permanently removing resources such as coal. In contrast, outdoor recreation economies find economic value in leaving natural spaces, such as mountains, in place. Outdoor recreation, which includes rock climbing, mountain…
Helping Smokers Quit: New Partners and New Strategies from the University of California, San Francisco Smoking Cessation Leadership Center
The Smoking Cessation Leadership Center (SCLC) was established in 2003 to increase the rate of smoking cessation attempts and the likelihood those efforts would succeed. Although smoking remains the number one cause of preventable death and disability, clinicians underperform in smoking cessation. Furthermore, many clinical organizations, governmental agencies, and advocacy groups put little effort into smoking cessation. Initially targeted at in…

Yet, for a variety of reasons, smoking cessation has not been integrated into the trea…

From the Sidelines to the Frontline: How the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration Embraced Smoking Cessation
Smoking is a major contributor to premature mortality among people with mental illness and substance abuse. Historically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) did not include smoking cessation in its mission. We describe the development of a unique partnership between SAMHSA and the University of California, San Francisco’s Smoking Cessation Leadership Center. Starting with an educational summit in Virginia in 20…
Whose Life Is It Anyway
The Urban System and Social Patterns in Iranian Cities
Theories concerning the structure of cities in the developing world have only recently been formulated, and many of these theories are broad generalizations which may not necessarily be applicable in individual countries. The evolution of social patterns in Iranian cities is briefly examined and the dimensions of Iran's city system are analysed using multivariate techniques. It is postulated that the cities may be affected by social, economic and…
