A relational developmental theory of human-animal interaction: A meta-synthesis and grounded theory
Real-world experiences of youth-animal coaction support an RDS paradigm for understanding animals’ role in youth development. • Established human-centric models of youth development should be expanded to include youth-animal coactions. • Qualitatively different animal experiences are theorized to shape the course of the coaction and its impacts on youth and animal wellbeing. • Continued research needs to identify processes of change that may unde…
Promoting youth social-emotional development through animal-assisted interventions: A qualitative analysis of special education students’ perspectives
Animal-assisted interventions (AAI) are increasingly used in clinical and school settings to promote psychological and social-emotional well-being among youth. However, the precise role of youth-animal relationships in shaping developmental trajectories is understudied. Research is needed to expand human-centric models of child development, specifically to examine how youth relationships with animals may be ecological assets and identify potentia…
Patient and healthcare provider perceptions of acceptability of fingerstick point-of-care hepatitis C testing at Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services in Australia
The SCALE-C intervention was broadly perceived to be acceptable among both healthcare providers and patients within ACCHS. Whilst the prioritisation of HCV was viewed as increasing patient engagement, it was also regarded as an opportunity for addressing other healthcare needs within Aboriginal communities. HCV test-and-treat models of care delivered by ACCHS simplify the HCV care pathway and ensure all HCV care is provided in a culturally safe s…
Measuring social and emotional functioning as a facet of positive youth development among children and adolescents in special education and mental health treatment
This study assessed the validity of a set of social and emotional functioning constructs derived from the PYD short form (PYD‐SF) measure within a sample of children and adolescents with one or more mental health diagnoses related to social, emotional, or behavioral challenges. Using repeated measures design, responses to the PYD‐SF and the Social‐emotional assets and resilience scale were collected over two years from 369 students enrolled in sp…
Testing of the Facial Expression Coding System (Faces) for middle school–aged special education students and development of a training protocol
Emotion regulation is a key developmental skillset, but many existing measures rely on self-report or laboratory-based measurement approaches. This study aimed to develop a training and implementation protocol for the widely used Facial Expression Coding System (FACES) to be used in real-world settings with pre-recorded video data. A revised coding system with supplemental guidelines and training procedures was developed to use FACES with video d…
Measuring the Impact of Prison-Based Dog Training Programs on Recidivism: A Propensity Score-Matched Survival Analysis
Empowerment theory and prison-based dog training programs
Though a growing body of evidence supports the efficacy of prison-based dog training programs, research on the process of change or the underlying mechanisms of change for incarcerated individuals who participate in these programs is limited. This qualitative study used interviews with 21 dog program staff to examine the utility of empowerment theory as a theoretical framework for understanding mechanisms of change for participants in prison-base…

Hygiene During Childbirth: An Observational Study to Understand Infection Risk in Healthcare Facilities in Kogi and Ebonyi States, Nigeria
Background: Infections acquired during labour and delivery are a significant cause of maternal and child morbidity and mortality. Adherence to hand hygiene protocols is a critical component of infection prevention strategies, but few studies have closely examined the hand hygiene of health care providers with sufficient detail to understand infection risks and prioritize prevention strategies. Methods: This observational study was conducted in si…
Humane Communities: Social change through policies promoting collective welfare
A Humane Community is defined by the presence of leaders, institutions, and policies working collaboratively across social and political systems to create and implement sustainable human, animal, and environmental welfare. Social-environmental-economic impact assessment (SEEIA) is a tool that can be used to inform policymaking at the municipal, county, state, and national levels to gain a comprehensive assessment of a proposed policy’s impacts on…
Looking through an equity and inclusion lens in Tanzania: The experience of WaterAid
Globally, 780 million people still do not have access to safe water and 2.5 billion lack improved sanitation. Since its inception, WaterAid has been deeply committed to issues of equity, choosing to work in some of the poorest countries in Africa and Asia, and within these, to work with people who are marginalised. In Tanzania, WaterAid has been using an equity and inclusion approach to ensure that the most marginalised people have access to safe…

Seizing Agglomeration's Potential: The Greater Springfield Massachusetts Metalworking Sector in Transition, 1986‐1996
FORRANT R. and FLYNN E. (1998) Seizing agglomeration's potential: the Greater Springfield Massachusetts metalworking sector in transition, 1986-1996, Reg. Studies 32, 209-222. In the 1980s a dramatic wave of lay-offs and plant closings among western Massachusetts' largest metalworking manufacturers led to rapid industrial decline and massive dislocation for several thousand of the region's workers. Today western Massachusetts is home to a thrivin…
