To meet the educational needs of students, most schools in the United States (U.S.) reopened for in-person instruction during the 2021-2022 school year implementing a wide range of COVID-19 prevention strategies (e.g., mask requirements). To date, there have been limited studies examining facilitators and barriers to implementing each of the…

In the post-COVID era, many faculty are experiencing a variety of interlinked burnout-related emotional experiences, including classical work stress burnout, decision fatigue from frequent adaptation and change, and compassion fatigue related to the caring demands of the profession. In this manuscript, we detail a framework for understanding the…

Background: The US is facing a youth mental health crisis. The Icelandic prevention model (IPM) may represent one promising way to address it. This paper describes using the IPM to promote youth mental health, with special attention given to the guiding principle of "embracing public schools as the natural hub of community efforts to support…

The study aimed to describe the outcomes of the voice use reduction (VUR) program on voice quality and vocal fatigue (VF) in occupational voice users (OVUs). A within-subject, quasi-experimental, pre-test, post-test research design was performed on 30 OVUs. Perceptual and acoustic outcome measures were employed pre- and post-implementation of the…

Purpose: This study investigates early anatomic determinants influencing the likelihood of cleft speech characteristics (CSCs) in children with cleft palate with or without lip involvement (CP+/-L). The primary objective was to identify critical anatomic factors within the first year of life that impact the presence of CSCs at Age 3. Methods: The…

Background: Cognitive reserve (CR) has not been studied in people with Intellectual Developmental Disability, a population with a high incidence of dementia. Commonly adopted CR proxies should be adapted to reflect more specifically the experiences of people with Intellectual Developmental Disability. Method: This scoping review intended to…

Introduction: Although risk for suicide appears elevated in individuals with intellectual and developmental disorders (I/DD), few interventions or tools addressing suicide prevention have been adapted for this population. Among evidence-based interventions for preventing suicide, safety planning interventions are an effective and commonly employed…

People often fail to notice unexpected stimuli when their attention is directed elsewhere. Most studies of this "inattentional blindness" have been conducted using laboratory tasks with little connection to real-world performance. Medical case reports document examples of missed findings in radiographs and CT images, unintentionally…

Concussion education is widely mandated and largely ineffective. Recent consensus guidance on concussion education asserts the importance of (1) theory-driven programming that targets the team as a system and (2) working with end users throughout the development process, and considering issues such as feasibility, acceptability, and…

To understand the current state of research, a systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to synthesize the effects of suicide prevention gatekeeper training (GKT) on participant behavioral intention to intervene and participant suicide intervention behaviors. Included studies examined GKT with adult participants and measured either…

In the United States, the issue of sexual violence has become increasingly politicized, which poses challenges and dangers for those working toward addressing the root causes of inequity. In this piece, I use scholarly personal narrative to share two of my experiences with conducting work on sexual violence, and how doing so from critical…

Detecting and mitigating wormhole attacks in wireless networks remains a critical challenge due to their deceptive nature and potential to compromise network integrity. This paper proposes a novel approach to wormhole detection by leveraging propagation delay analysis between network nodes. Unlike traditional methods that rely on signature-based…

This mixed model study set out to investigate the burnout and self-efficacy of school counselors. It also examined the emotional intelligence of school principals and the self-efficacy of school counselors. Burnout may occur due to the rise in stress related to one's employment. According to Mullen and Gutierrez (2016), there may be a reduction in…

Retaining people no longer credited toward college completion--a group known in academic parlance as "stop outs"--is a core concern among administrators seeking to remove barriers to education. Preventing stop outs from becoming stay outs means re-enrolling students beset by debt, or targeting vulnerable demos close to graduation.…

The present study uses data from the 2019 Association of American Universities Campus Climate Survey. Among student victim-survivors who reported their experience (Unweighted n = 11, 644), we examined the relationship between sexual misconduct training, the content of training, and reporting to Title IX coordinators versus to another campus…
