Sep 9th 2023, 15:16

Urban Affairs Review, Ahead of Print. Community organizations that have historically depended upon in-person organizing methods faced particular challenges during the Covid-19 pandemic. We studied a U.S.-based network of community organizations to examine how they did their organizing work during the pandemic. Based on data collection of public information about the organizations and semi-structured interviews with key leaders, we studied the methods of organizing and the organizations’ use of various tools, digital and otherwise, and asked leaders about how the experience of organizing during the pandemic might change their future approach to organizing. We found that these organizations were able to continue their work in part because they already had established relationships among leaders and were able to adapt their familiar organizing tools to the new situation, effectively engaging in “reorganizing” during the pandemic.

Sep 9th 2023, 15:06

It is no exaggeration to say that HB 715, if it were to become law, would spell the end of the public research university in the state of North Carolina. Without the protection of tenure, without the freedom to pursue a robust research agenda rooted in a discipline’s search for the truth, and with the expectation that a faculty member’s hours in the classroom must always be high and rising, no academician looking for a new home would dare step foot in this state.

Sep 9th 2023, 14:14

Work, Employment and Society, Ahead of Print. Little is known about how the use of ride-hail apps (e.g. Uber, Lyft) affects drivers’ propensity to engage in risky behaviours. Drawing on labour process theory, this study examines how algorithmic control of ride-hail drivers encourages risky driving (i.e. violating road safety rules, carrying weapons). Furthermore, the theory of work precarity is used to explain why multiple jobholders (MJHers), who work for ride-hail companies, drive taxis and hold other jobs, may be more likely to take risks while driving due to income insecurity and erratic work hours. The hypotheses are tested in a sample (N = 191) of ride-hail drivers, taxi drivers and MJHers. The results suggest that MJHers are more likely to engage in risky driving in comparison to ride-hail and taxi drivers. Theoretical, practical and policy implications are discussed.

Sep 9th 2023, 13:37

Abstract
Developmental executive function (EF) theories have proposed distinct domains of EF (cool and hot) but the EF development in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been assessed mainly with cool EF measures. Little is known regarding the development of hot EF in ASD. EF is suggested to strongly associate to theory of mind (ToM) in typical development but the correlation between hot EF and ToM is understudied in ASD. The current study was aimed at investigating the cross-sectional developmental changes of cool and hot EF in middle childhood and adolescence and their association to ToM in ASD. Eighty-two children and adolescents (7–16 years) were assessed with measures of cool EF (inhibition, working memory, planning, and cognitive flexibility), hot EF (affective decision-making and delay discounting), and ToM (2nd-order false belief and ignorance; mental state/emotion recognition). Our results showed that the trajectories of all cool EF presented linear age-related improvements in ASD. In terms of hot EF, trajectories demonstrated non-linear functions of age for affective decision-making and delay discounting. Both EF domains were found to associate with ToM over and above age, while hot EF associated with ToM over and above cool EF as well. The investigation of the developmental trajectories of cool and hot EF may help define potential cognitive phenotypes across age within ASD.

Sep 9th 2023, 13:36

Journal of Social Work, Ahead of Print. SummaryAn interview study was conducted with persons receiving home care services and personal assistance in Sweden (13 individuals, 25 interviews) with the aim to analyze their experiences of managing personal and intimate care. The analytical approach was guided by phenomenologically informed research and Erving Goffman’s theoretical work on self-presentation and social life as it differs in frontstage and backstage settings.FindingsA reflected approach to the complex challenges associated with becoming and being a person in need of personal and intimate care was revealed. This involved continuous adaptations and attuning to organizational and relational conditions of formal home care. Being a recipient of personal and intimate care does not mean being passive. It entails relating to and sustaining the care relation, where even choosing to accept suboptimal conditions is an act of agency. The recipients’ private homes were hybridized, transformed both into a waiting room, with the recipient on standby and into a workplace. The homes thus partly lost their character as a backstage realm where one could avoid the gaze of others. This also led to a hybridization of the personal sphere, in the form of marginal scope for true privacy, necessitating strategies for protecting one’s own space.ApplicationsIt is important both to acknowledge the intrusive nature of personal and intimate care, which results in extensive hybridization of the home and personal sphere and to recognize care recipients’ agency in the relationship that care establishes.

Sep 9th 2023, 13:36

Abstract
Psychiatry is the branch of medicine that deals with the causation, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of mental and behavioral disorders. Telepsychiatry, in the form of live interactive videoconferencing, has emerged as a promising approach to improve access to mental health care, particularly in underserved populations across the world. However, the use of telepsychiatry also raises unique clinical, ethical, legal, and technological challenges. Pre-pandemic, the vast majority of mental health professionals had little to no experience with telepsychiatry, so they were forced to quickly adapt to the use of telepsychiatry to continue provide ongoing care to patients or new services. To address these challenges, the World Psychiatric Association (WPA) developed Telepsychiatry Global Guidelines in 2020 via outreach to and input from as many countries as possible, with intent to support all countries with intent to specifically assist low- and middle-income countries in adopting and establishing telepsychiatry services amid the COVID-19 outbreak. The guidelines make suggestions for clinical practice, technological challenges, education and training, research, and specific populations and settings, with an emphasis on international and cross-cultural dimensions. The WPA guidelines specifically emphasize the importance of providing cultural fit to patient-centered care, ensuring confidentiality and security of patient information, and ongoing evaluation and quality improvement. The guidelines offer an appendix with a comprehensive collection of tools, templates, and resources. The guidelines highlight the importance of collaboration between policymakers, clinicians, and patients in the development and implementation of telepsychiatry programs.

Sep 9th 2023, 13:36

Abstract
Vaccines and vitamin A supplementation are financed by donors in several countries, indicating that challenges remain with achieving sustainable government financing of these critical health commodities. This qualitative study aimed to explore political economy variables of actors’ interests, roles, power, and commitment to ensure government financing of vaccines and vitamin A supplementation (VAS). A total of 77 interviews were conducted in Burundi, Comoros, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Malawi, and Zimbabwe. Governments and development partners had similar interests. Donor commitment to vaccines and VAS was sometimes dependent on the priorities and political situation of the donor country. Governments’ commitment to financing vaccines was demonstrated through policy measures, such as enactment of immunization laws. Explicit government financial commitment to VAS was absent in all six countries. Some development partners were able to influence governments directly via allocation of health funding while others influenced indirectly through coordination, consolidation, and networks. Government power was exercised through multiple systemic and individual processes, including hierarchy, bureaucracy in governance and budgetary process, proactiveness of Ministry of Health officials in engaging with Ministry of Finance, and control over resources. Enablers that were likely to increase government commitment to financing vaccines and VAS included emerging reforms, attention to the voice of citizens, and improvements in the domestic economy that in turn increased government revenues. Barriers identified were political instability, health sector inefficiencies, overly complicated bureaucracy, frequent changes of health sector leadership, and non-health competing needs. Country governments were aware of their role in financing vaccines, but only a few had made tangible efforts to increase government financing. Discussions on government financing of VAS were absent. Development partners continue to influence government health commodity financing decisions. The political economy environment and contextual factors work together to facilitate or impede domestic financing.

Sep 9th 2023, 13:35

Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency, Ahead of Print. Objective: We investigate the role that neighborhood socioeconomic contexts and defendant mobility patterns play in prosecutorial charge reductions. Methods: Using data from a large sample of criminal defendants prosecuted during 2010 to 2011 in New York County (N = 68,113), we analyze differences in charge reductions for defendants who reside and offend in low- and high-income areas, and for those who traverse socioeconomically divergent neighborhoods when committing crime. Results: Net of individual defendant characteristics, like gender and race, we find that defendants from low-income neighborhoods who offend in high-income locales are significantly less likely to benefit from discretionary charge reductions. Conclusions: Defendant mobility patterns play a key role in defining the social context of criminal punishment. This suggests it is essential to consider both where a defendant resides and where their crime is committed when assessing the role of ecological stereotypes and place-based attributions in criminal court actor decision-making.

Sep 9th 2023, 13:35

Abstract
As community engagement (CE) is implemented for sustainable maternal and newborn health (MNH) programming, it is important to determine how these approaches work. Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have become a particular focus for MNH CE activities due to their high burden of maternal and neonatal deaths. MNH messaging and communication to engage communities are likely to differ by context, but how these approaches are actually developed and implemented within CE are not well understood. Understanding how communication in CE actually works is vital in the translation of learnings across programmes and to inform future projects. The purpose of this realist review is to describe how, why, to what extent, and for whom communications in CE contributes to MNH programming in LMICs. After searching academic databases, grey literature, and suggested literature from the expert advisory committee, documents were included if they described the CE communications processes/activities used for MNH programming in an LMIC. Relevant documents were assessed for richness (depth of insight) and rigour (trustworthiness and coherence of data/theories). Data were extracted as context-mechanism-outcome configurations (CMOCs) and synthesized into demi-regularities to contribute to theory refinement. After screening 416 records, 45 CMOCs were extracted from 11 documents. This informed five programme theories explaining that communications in CE for an MNH programme work when: communities are actively involved throughout the programme, the messaging and programme are acceptable, communication sources are trusted, the community has a reciprocal relationship with the programme, and the community sees value in the programme. While these findings reflect what is often anecdotally known in CE or acknowledged in communications theory, they have implications for policy, practice and research by highlighting the importance of centering the community’s needs and priorities throughout the stages of developing and implementing communications for CE in MNH.

Sep 9th 2023, 13:35

Abstract
In civil and forensic evaluations of psychological damage, depression is one of the most commonly identified disorders, and also one of the most frequently feigned. Thus, practitioners are often confronted with situations in which they must assess whether the symptomatology presented by a patient is genuine or being feigned for secondary gains. While effective, traditional feigning detection instruments generate a high number of false positives—especially among patients presenting with severe symptomatology. The current study aimed at equipping forensic specialists with an empirical decision-making strategy for evaluating patient credibility on the basis of test results. In total, 315 participants were administered the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) and SIMS Affective Disorders (SIMS AF) scales. Response patterns across the experimental groups (i.e., Honest, Simulators, Honest with Depressive Symptoms) were analyzed. A machine learning decision tree model (i.e., J48), considering performance on both measures, was built to effectively distinguish Honest with Depressive Symptoms subjects from Simulators. A forward logistic regression model was run to determine which SIMS AF items best identified Simulators, in comparison with Honest with Depressive Symptoms subjects. The results showed that the combination of feigning detection instruments and clinical tests generated incremental specificity, thereby reducing the risk of misclassifying Honest with Depressive Symptoms subjects as feigners. Furthermore, the performance analysis of SIMS AF items showed that Simulators were more likely to endorse three specific items. Thus, computational models may provide effective support to forensic practitioners, who must make complex decisions on the basis of multiple elements. Future research should revise the content of SIMS AF items to achieve better accuracy in the discrimination between feigners and honest subjects with depressive symptoms.

Sep 9th 2023, 13:35

Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, Ahead of Print. School-wide positive behavior interventions and supports (SWPBIS) is a tiered framework that supports the academic, social, and behavioral needs of students. In this study, we conducted a conceptual replication of Grasley-Boy et al. (2022a) and used a series of two-level linear multilevel analyses to examine the impact of SWPBIS fidelity on 10 exclusionary discipline outcomes for students with disabilities (SWD). Specifically, we compared schools that implemented multiple SWPBIS tiers with fidelity to schools that only implemented Tier 1 with fidelity from a sample of 558 schools in 113 districts in California. Findings indicate a statistically significant decrease in multiple out-of-school suspension categories as well as referrals to law enforcement for SWD in schools that implemented all tiers with fidelity. We provide recommendations for using findings to inform school efforts to reduce exclusionary discipline for SWD.

Sep 9th 2023, 13:35

Abstract
Objective
Over 7,000 American children die from pedestrian injuries annually, and pedestrian injury ranks among the top 5 causes of unintentional child death. Prevention efforts are multifaceted. One strategy, use of virtual reality (VR) to teach children to cross streets, is of growing interest to public health practitioners. The present study is a systematic review and meta-analysis that examined the efficacy of using VR to teach children pedestrian safety.
Methods
Following PRISMA guidelines, searches among 7 databases were completed, followed by abstract/full-text screening and data extraction. Hedge’s g was computed for the effect sizes of 3 outcomes: pedestrian knowledge, pedestrian-relevant cognition (attention to traffic, time to contact, start delay), and pedestrian behaviors (safe crossings, unsafe crossings). Risk of bias was assessed using Cochrane guidelines. Meta-regression analyses and subgroup analyses were conducted including 3 moderators: age, sex, and immersion level.
Results
A total of 20 studies, reported in 24 articles, were included in the qualitative analysis. Meta-analysis of the 12 studies with sufficient quantitative data available showed a statistically significant medium effect of VR safety interventions on child pedestrian knowledge and behavior. Mixed results emerged for the effect of VR safety interventions on children’s pedestrian-relevant cognition. Age and sex moderated the effect of VR training on pedestrian knowledge.
Conclusions
This synthesis of the literature on pediatric VR pedestrian safety interventions suggests an overall beneficial impact of VR interventions to teach children how to cross streets safely. Efforts should continue to develop and disseminate effective VR interventions.

Sep 9th 2023, 13:35

Abstract
The presence of school-based law enforcement (SBLE) and school counselors is likely to shape how schools punish students. This study examines how schools’ addition or removal of both types of school staff shapes both out-of-school suspension rates and expulsion rates, with a particular focus on differences among white, black, and Hispanic students. It also examines how these relationships differ by school racial composition. Using the 2013–2014 and 2017–2018 waves of the Civil Rights Data Collection, (N = 81,933 schools), this study creates a two-wave panel data set to use a difference-in-differences approach to examine change over time. The results of a series of two-way fixed effects models indicated that changes in the presence of SBLE shaped exclusionary discipline rates—including racial disparities—in multiple, sometimes surprising ways, and that these effects were often strongest in schools with larger proportions of white students. Changes in the presence of school counselors had fewer and less consistent impacts.

Sep 9th 2023, 13:35

Journal of Planning Education and Research, Ahead of Print. The persistence of post-COVID shopping centers arguably depends on the urban experience. However, contemporary shopping morphologies and their preparedness for urban transitions are not well understood. We tackled the research gap through a mixed-methods approach combining spatial and quantitative analysis, using a large number of shopping centers with Apple Store in the United States. Our key findings feature three “E” (experiment, experience, and emergence) s. Contemporary shopping morphologies embody various typological experiments while being geared toward the urban experience. The emergence of the urban experience in shopping centers could be stimulated in urban neighborhoods or the novel fusion between the street and town square experience.

Sep 9th 2023, 13:35

In 2021, 13,469 American children ages 0–18 died from an injury (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2023). That figure suggests roughly 25,000 parents grieved the loss of a child, along with 50,000 grandparents and hundreds of thousands of siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Another 4.1 million American families brought their child to an emergency department for treatment after a serious injury (CDC, 2023). Annual economic costs from fatal and nonfatal pediatric injuries in the United States exceed $462 billion dollars. Globally, the numbers increase dramatically, with Global Burden of Disease estimates indicating about 600,000 annual pediatric fatalities from injury worldwide (Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation [IHME], 2023).

Sep 9th 2023, 13:35

Journal of Planning Education and Research, Ahead of Print. PhD planning graduates face an increasingly competitive academic job market. In this commentary, seven recent graduates provide qualitative descriptions of the complicated and ever-changing expectations graduates face. We situate this within a larger reflection on the neoliberal academy that promotes a culture of competitiveness over care and production over purpose. We emphasize how this system is seemingly antithetical to the transformative planning work needed to address the most pressing planning issues of our time and provide suggestions for meeting shifting expectations, evolving training and support needs, and opportunities for a more compassionate tenure-track market. Our commentary has implications for doctoral pedagogy, the tenure-track market, and the academy.

Sep 9th 2023, 13:35

Abstract
Globally, people experience different forms of fear; however, the fear of aging is a rising phenomenon that affects the individual and leaves a huge mark on their existence. There are incidents of abuse in older adults resulting in the indelible fear of aging in younger adults if left unattended. The purpose of this study is to link the fear of aging to older adult abuse in order to show the relevance and need for social work practice. This study was qualitative, using in-depth interviews with 30 young adults. We found that the aging process, which is traditionally seen as a blessing, is often associated with difficulties such as older adult abuses that tend to instill fear in younger adults thereby hampering the aging process. Results revealed that verbal abuse amidst other forms of abuse was the most common form of abuse among older adults. These abuses affect how young persons perceive the aging process, including fears associated with aging.

Sep 9th 2023, 13:34

Journal of Planning Education and Research, Ahead of Print. This study examined Patuakhali Science and Technology University’s impact on its neighboring rural communities. A five-point Likert-type scale survey was undertaken among university employees and community dwellers from December 2021 to June 2022. Results revealed that the university could affect its host neighborhood. Both survey groups highly agreed on improving education, eco-cultural development, and infrastructure in the host neighborhood. Female respondents perceived fewer impacts than male respondents (p < .05). People perceived fewer impacts as their age, family size, and family income increased (p < .05). Findings might help the university administration and policymakers set their strategies for developing rural coastal communities.

Sep 9th 2023, 13:34

Abstract
Objectives
We investigated whether the self-system belief of fear of abandonment mediated the effects of intervention-induced change in 2 protective factors—positive parenting and adaptive coping—and one risk factor—stressful events—on youth mental health problems and maladaptive grief. This study extends prior research on fear of abandonment in youth who experience parental death by examining pathways through which a program reduced fear of abandonment and, in turn, affected subsequent pathways to child mental health problems in the context of a randomized experiment.
Methods
This is a secondary data analysis study. We used data from the 4-wave longitudinal 2-arm parallel randomized controlled trial of the Family Bereavement Program conducted between 1996 and 1999 in a large city in the Southwestern United States. The sample consisted of 244 offspring between 8 and 16 at the pretest. They were assessed again at posttest, 11-month follow-up, and 6-year follow-up. Offspring, caregivers, and teachers provided data.
Results
Mediation analyses indicated that intervention-induced reductions in stressful events were prospectively associated with a lower fear of abandonment. For girls, fear of abandonment was related to self-reported maladaptive grief and teacher-reported internalizing problems 6 years later.
Conclusions
This study extends prior research on the relation between intervention-induced changes in risk and protective factors and improvements in outcomes of bereaved youth. The findings support the reduction of stressful events as a key proximal target of prevention programs for bereaved children.

Sep 9th 2023, 13:34

Abstract
Not having citizenship is a huge obstacle for children receiving formal education, having a healthy lifestyle, and generally having the right to live in the modern world. The present study employed a qualitative/descriptive phenomenological design to explore the lived experiences of Iranian mothers married to Afghan immigrants. The research population included all Iranian women with one or more children living in Tehran Province in 2022. Using purposive sampling with emphasis on snowball sampling and based on the saturation rule, the research sample consisted of 25 women with children and Afghan husbands. The data were collected through face-to-face semi-structural interviews and were then analyzed using Colaizzi’s seven-step method. Data analysis revealed three main themes including “social problems and an unknown future awaiting children,” “the public negative view and rejection,” and “legal problems of Iranian women with Afghan husbands.” The findings of this study showed that legal gaps in the marriage of Iranian women with Afghan men leads to psychological and social challenges and widespread poverty in this group of mothers and their children. A lack of citizenship makes it difficult to provide social work services for these mothers.

Sep 9th 2023, 13:34

Journal of Planning Education and Research, Ahead of Print. Actors in urban development use and respond to many plans made by organizations, both public and private, at different times with different purposes and scopes. Coping with such networks of information and constraints presents an opportunity to advance development of planning support systems (PSS). The Plans and Regulations Information Tool (PaRIT) is a computing interface that enables spatial queries to identify and access plans and regulations. We illustrate the capabilities of PaRIT in applications to a light rail project in Maryland. Choices made in developing PaRIT demonstrate a feasible approach to accessing a network of plans and highlight opportunities for advances in PSS.

Sep 9th 2023, 13:34

Abstract

Sudan has tried to plant democracy in the aftermath of its independence. The efforts, however, have been halted by repeated coup d’états. Sudan has been ruled under authoritarian regimes for more than 52 years, since its independence, losing golden paths to democracy four times since 1956. This study uses a qualitative research approach, collecting data from secondary sources. Sudan has been unable to build a democratic political culture,. due to continuous revolutions followed by military hijacks and coup d’états, identity mismanagement, the pan-Arabism sentiment of leadership, and effort to establish an Islamic regime. This is exacerbated by external country (superpowers) influence; regional politics of the horn of Africa, the red sea, and the middle east; erratic diplomatic relations with its neighboring country; and the Gulf countries’ political interest in Sudan. Social work activity should be developed that emphasizes social justice, empowers people to act against undemocratic practices, invokes moral outrage, and engages in political activism. Social work practice should focus on social justice and social change. Sudan needs to develop an integrative and inclusive political approach to unsnarl and disentangl from the periodic popular revolution.

Sep 9th 2023, 13:34

Abstract
Although participatory approaches in health research are increasingly used, critical voices are being raised around lack of diversity among the public contributors involved. This article explores enabling and hindering factors in participatory meetings with forced migrants involved as public contributors in health research, using a convergent parallel mixed methods design including behavioural observations and questionnaires, with the aim of contributing to practices of meaningful and inclusive involvement in research. Our findings indicated that relationship-building and adapting to team development over time were key. Additionally, researcher responsivity and transparency enabled relevant contributions, but few decisions were taken. Although linguistic barriers existed and were rated higher by the researchers, engaging interpreters as co-facilitators of the meetings enabled nuanced discussions. In addition to following PPI recommendations, involving public contributors with experience of forced migration requires considering relationship-focused factors; inclusive communication, relationships and trust, and process-focused factors: where and how decisions are taken.

Sep 9th 2023, 13:34

Journal of the American Psychiatric Nurses Association, Ahead of Print. Background:Suboptimal mental health literacy levels among general hospital health care professionals negatively impact the care coordination of patients with physical–mental comorbidity.Aims:This review is to examine the evidence on the effectiveness of interventions to improve the mental health literacy of general hospital health care professionals.Methods:A systematic search of literature was conducted in 13 electronic databases with manual searching of reference lists from 1980 to 2021. Studies were screened by pre-set eligibility criteria, that is, participants who were general hospital health care professionals taking care of adult patients, the interventions aimed at improving any components of participants’ mental health literacy, comparisons were alternative active intervention or no intervention, and the primary outcomes were any aspects of mental health literacy.Results:Eight randomized controlled trials (N = 1,732 participants) were included in this review. Evidence indicated that mental health literacy interventions with educational components can improve components of the health care professionals’ mental health literacy, in terms of mental health knowledge and mental illness–related attitudes/stigma. In addition, few studies evaluated all components of participants’ mental health literacy.Conclusions:Based on the available evidence, educational interventions had a positive effect on components of general hospital health care professionals’ mental health literacy. Health care organizations should provide educational programs to enhance general hospital health care professionals’ mental health literacy. Further studies are needed to explore interventions that target all components of general hospital staff’s mental health literacy and to evaluate its impact on the psychiatric consultation–liaison service utilization in general hospitals, as well as patient outcomes.

Sep 9th 2023, 13:34

Abstract
Criminologists have long claimed that states of deprivation engendered by restrictive prison environments account for much of the problematic behavior that occurs there. It is logical to assume that any efforts to provide greater access to meaningful and appropriate activities may therefore serve to reduce such behavior by altering motivating operations for misconduct and occasioning reinforcement for other types of behaviors. Given the higher rates of trauma exposure and other mental health issues in prison populations, considering trauma-informed practices in intervention design is prudent. The current study evaluated the effects of environmental enrichment via prisoner-selected, peer-led activities conducted during association times. We used direct observation to assess engagement, existing facility data collection to detect changes in problematic behavior, and prisoner and staff surveys to assess perceptions of the overall acceptability and effects of the intervention. Prisoners engaged with and led a range of activities, with the majority reporting positive effects on behavior, social relationships, and general well-being; staff responses were generally positive but more tempered. Institutional behavior records did not appear sensitive enough to detect treatment effects. We discuss the results in terms of integrating trauma-informed care into prison interventions and the need to develop more robust measures of behavior change.

Sep 9th 2023, 13:34

Abstract
Using the framework of microhistory, the following article explores the notion of ‘encampment’ in relation to economically displaced labourers who crossed into Palestine in the 1930s and 1940s. It considers what a new reading of ‘encampment’ might offer to the historical and inter-disciplinary studies of refugeehood, migration, borders, and forced displacement. The article traces the story of one such labourer, displaced from Egypt to the port city of Haifa. Using this man’s archival record, the article analyses how historians might depict other such men and women as ‘encamped’ by the nature of their economic displacement and their inability to return to the places from which they came. These migrants often fell into the categorization of ‘forcibly displaced’ twice: they were forced by economic circumstances to migrate, and many were subsequently deported from Palestine because they had no authorization to have entered the country.

Sep 9th 2023, 13:33

Labor Studies Journal, Ahead of Print. Precarious employment is an important social determinant of health inequities. Through in-depth qualitative interviews (n  =  35), we examine precarious employment and labor exploitation, their potential impact on the working environment, and, ultimately, the health of farmworkers. We present results from the community-based participatory Michigan Farmworker Project. Our analysis identified dimensions of precarious employment and labor exploitation that involved lacking access to fundamental labor and social rights—including dehumanization—discriminatory occupational practices, and insufficient access to health care and social benefits. Policy reform is needed to address precarious employment and labor exploitation among farmworkers due to their potential long-lasting health effects.

Sep 9th 2023, 13:33

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine how different ethical scenarios and different likelihood of statement accuracy influenced recommendations to seek more information or report an ethical violation. Twenty participants were recruited to participate in a pre-workshop survey where they were presented with five hypothetical ethical scenarios that each corresponded to one of five probabilities that scenario was accurate (100%, 60%, 40%, 20%, and 10%). We found when given a scenario that was 100% accurate, 17 of 20 participants indicated they would advise the individual to report the ethical violation. As report accuracy decreased, the proportion of participants that advised to report also decreased. Future directions and implications for ethical decision making in research and practice are discussed.
