Thermal resilience in the built environment
Reveals the research landscape across five thematic domains of thermal resilience. • Synthesizes existing metrics through the lens of the resilience curve. • Emphasizes trade-offs and synergies between thermal resilience and net-zero goals. • Proposes a cross-scale framework link urban and building thermal resilience. • Provides practical recommendations for stakeholders on thermal resilience practices. With the increasing frequency and severity …
What is a podcast? Considering innovations in podcasting through the six-tensions framework
This essay addresses two questions on the topic of podcast innovation. The first, ‘What is a podcast?’ is answered via a review of the literature, investigating podcasting history and its evolution. The definition of podcasting arising from this analysis – centring on episodic audio, convenient both to produce and experience – takes into account recent changes, providing an up-to-date description of the term, useful for further research on the to…
Cost of Increasing Years‐of‐Life‐Gained (YLG) Using Fecal Immunochemical Testing as a Population‐Level Screening Model in a Rural Appalachian Population
PURPOSE: Given the innovation of fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) to detect polyps in the rectum and colon for removal by colonoscopy, it is important to determine the cost per Life-Year Gained (LYG) when using FIT as a population-level screening model. This is particularly true for medically underserved rural populations. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to make this determination among rural Appalachians experiencing isolation and e…
Colorectal Cancer Screening in African American Hope VI Public Housing Residents
This study explores whether colorectal cancer screening outreach via home visits and follow-up calls is effective among public housing African American residents. It reports on the proportion of returned Fecal Immunochemical Test kits, on the characteristics of study participants, and on their primary reasons for returning the kit. By conducting home visits and follow-up calls, our colorectal cancer-screening outreach resulted in a higher Fecal I…
Towards a more emotional geography of civic pride
This article argues that civic pride has been relatively under-explored in geography and deserves greater attention as an emotional and political value associated with place. Through a case study of Nottingham, England, I examine how local civic actors perceive and express civic pride and the values it encompasses, using a discourse analysis of interviews, policy material and local media. I illustrate how civic pride is connected with everyday fe…
Correlates of Community‐Based Colorectal Cancer Screening in a Rural Population
OBJECTIVE: One largely unexplored barrier to colorectal cancer (CRC) screening is fatalistic beliefs about cancer. The purpose of this study was to identify correlates of ever having endoscopy screenings for CRC and to determine whether fatalism plays a unique role. Because evidence suggests that cancer-associated fatalistic beliefs may be particularly common among rural Americans, the study was conducted in a medically underserved area of rural …
Community‐Based Colorectal Cancer Screening in a Rural Population
PURPOSE: To determine the return rate of community-delivered fecal immunochemical test (FIT) kits in a rural population and to identify significant predictors of returning kits. METHODS: Residents were recruited in 8 rural Kentucky counties to enroll in the study and receive an FIT kit. Of 345 recruited, 82.0% returned an FIT kit from the point of distribution. These participants were compared to the remainder relative to age, sex, marital status…
HPV vaccine acceptance among a sample of Southern men who have sex with men
Objectives: Do short, online educational messages about the human papillomavirus (HPV) influence younger and older men who have sex with men (MSM) differently? Second, what are the HPV knowledge levels and risk perceptions of Southern MSM living outside of major metropolitan areas? Methods: This study draws on participants who completed an anonymous online survey asking about their knowledge, risk assessment, and vaccine acceptance regarding HPV.…
Urban civic pride and the new localism
Civic pride relates to how places promote and defend local identity and autonomy. It is often championed as a key value and aspiration of local government. This paper argues that civic pride has been under‐examined in geography, and in particular the emotional meanings of pride need to be better understood. In response, I present an emotional analysis of civic pride and discuss its role in British cities, particularly in the context of urban rege…
"1-2-3 Pap" Intervention Improves HPV Vaccine Series Completion Among Appalachian Women
Completion of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine series is a national priority. This study not only identified correlates of intent to complete the vaccine series and actual series completion, but also tested the efficacy of a DVD intervention to promote series completion. Women's beliefs that all three doses reduced cancer risk predicted intent and completion. Intention predicted completion, as did the belief that having a friend accompany t…
Uptake of Free HPV Vaccination Among Young Women
PURPOSE: To contrast rates of initial HPV vaccine uptake, offered at no cost, between a rural clinic, a rural community college, and an urban college clinic and to identify rural versus urban differences in uptake of free booster doses. METHODS: Young rural women attending rural clinics (n = 246), young women attending a rural community college (n = 251) and young women attending an urban university health clinic (n = 209) were recruited in Kentu…
Community development and state building
This paper explores a number of issues concerning the community development experience in Ireland by reference to concepts of the State and to issues of State development. It will explore the emergence of a new kind of civil society within Ireland in the 1990s, and the role played by community development in this process. It will argue that the development of civil society in the 1980s and 1990s, widely represented as an example of ‘rolling back …
