Making the Invisible Visible
This article shares course activities relying on the draw-to-learn framework from a general education humanities course focused on social media. These activities ask students to create drawings or sketches of concepts from the course — the internet and visual maps of directions to a familiar location. These drawing activities can promote similar cognitive processes to writing activities and, in turn, enhance student learning via non-alphanumeric …
College Food Insecurity
Assessing basic needs of students at colleges and universities is gaining traction across the United States. Our research examined the prevalence of food and housing insecurity at a land-grant institution and its implications on student success. Food insecure students have poorer health status, difficulty concentrating on their studies, lower GPAs, and suspended their studies more often. This study provides institutions with data on food insecuri…
(Dis)comfort food
This paper argues for, and reflects on, the introduction of social and mobile media into food studies pedagogies. Specifically, the paper describes the complications resulting from a pedagogical experiment addressing the rise and effects of “food porn” or “foodtography” alongside the tensions inherent in social network sites and higher education. Ultimately, such a review leads to the introduction of Georg Simmel and his use of boundaries as a le…
Trust in Physicians Among Rural Medicaid‐Enrolled Smokers
PURPOSE: Associations have been found between trusting patient-physician relationships and use of preventive care and a greater adherence to prescribed care. The objectives of this study were to assess the level of trust rural Medicaid smokers have in their physicians and whether trust was related to patient characteristics or physician behavior. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study of smokers who were enrolled in a tobacco-dependence treatm…
Berman Et Al. Respond
We certainly agree with Hahn et al. that the ultimate goal is for residents of the Appalachian region to be protected by comprehensive, anti-preemptive statewide smoke-free laws, but we evidently disagree about the best strategy to reach that goal.1 Although we do not intend to downplay the determined efforts and tremendous accomplishments of local advocates in parts of Appalachia, our study found that years of local advocacy for smoke-free laws …
Clean Indoor Air Ordinance Coverage in the Appalachian Region of the United States
Objectives. We sought to quantitatively examine the pattern of, and socioeconomic factors associated with, adoption of clean indoor air ordinances in Appalachia. Methods. We collected and reviewed clean indoor air ordinances in Appalachian communities in 6 states and rated the ordinances for completeness of coverage in workplaces, restaurants, and bars. Additionally, we computed a strength score to measure coverage in 7 locations. We fit mixed-ef…
