Abstract. In 2006, Cole et al. (2006) reported on tractor overturn-related injuries in Kentucky from a random sample of farmers that numbered 6,063 respondents. The highest number of people who experienced tractor overturns were operators 16 to 20 years old. In 2007, at a National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Tractor Safety Initiative meeting in Colorado, John Myers of NIOSH presented a map of the states with the highest overturn fatality rates: Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. Significantly, four of these states, including Kentucky, overlap the Appalachian region (Cole, 2007; Hard and Myers, 2001). In Kentucky, this region involves farming on slopes, as examined by Saman et al. (2012), who found a high-risk cluster of tractor overturns among ten Kentucky counties in the Appalachian region, with a 97% increased risk of overturn as compared to other Kentucky counties. In 1971, James Arndt of Deere & Company presented a 50-year review of rollover protective structures (ROPS) at a Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) conference. Arndt (1971) estimated that, over the previous 50 years, 30,000 operators had been killed when crushed by tractor overturns in agriculture and construction work. Since then, ROPS have been recognized as an effective device to prevent death in the event of a tractor overturn (Reynolds and Groves, 2000). Nevertheless, the epidemic of tractor-related deaths has continued into the modern era, and the cost of ROPS has been found to be a significant barrier to retrofitting tractors that lack ROPS (Myers et al., 1998). To provide a low-cost alternative, NIOSH safety engineers have designed, tested, and provided instructions for building and fitting cost-effective ROPS (CROPS) onto pre-ROPS tractors (i.e., tractors built before 1968) (Hard et al., 2016). Keywords: NIOSH, ROPS, Tractor overturns, Tractor safety.

The Association of Baccalaureate Social Work Program Directors (BPD), which presented its fifteenth annual conference in Philadelphia in October 1997, has a long history, extending long before the first conference, held at a convent in Nazareth, Kentucky, in 1983. The organization was formed in the mid-1970s in order to represent the interests and enhance recognition of undergraduate social work education and practice. As undergraduate programs grew in number and influence, BPD grew as well and came to be recognized as the voice of undergraduate education within the social work profession. The following history places the formation of BPD in the context of earlier efforts to speak for undergraduate education and highlights the association's flexibility of structure, emphasis on interaction with other organizations, and diversity in leadership and membership.1

Research on the emotional intelligence of United Methodist clergy in the Kentucky Annual Conference is being conducted utilizing the Emotional Quotient 2.0 (EQ-i 2.0) assessment. Over 20% of active clergy have been assessed thus far and several trends are becoming evident. Specifically, of interest are those clergy persons who have engaged in graduate-level theological education and those who have not. This research seeks to add to the scholarly dialogue on understanding the impact of theological education in the formation of clergy leadership.

We are at the starting gate and ready to run with the 16th Annual Conference for the International Alliance for Invitational Education. “Inspiriting Education Start to Finish,” the conference will be held at the Hyatt Regency Lexington in Lexington, Kentucky October 15-18. The conference promises interesting and provocative programs with an outstanding array of speakers. If this issue of the JITP makes it out of the starting gate on time, the can serve as a last minute reminder to come and join with and share with your colleagues in Lexington. This issue of the JITP offers an assortment of topics quite relevant to invitational education. David and Cheryl Aspy’s article, “The Self According to Allan Bloom and Charles Reich” examines the concept of self outside the normal parameters of theoreticians with whom we are more familiar. Bloom and Reich make social observations of forces which help shape who we are and who we become. This seems particularly apt at a time when some are beginning to raise questions about the oversimplification of self-concept theory that is becoming increasingly prevalent in much of the popular press. You probably will not find many answers in this thought provoking article, but it will challenge your thinking.

The second decade of the association's existence culminated in a veryencouraging conference in Dearborn, Michigan this year.The conference highlights included a keynote address by Ali Mazrui,Albert Schweitzer Professor in the Humanities, State University of New Yorkat Binghamton, and addresses by 'AbdulHamid AbuSulayman, past presidentof AMSS and current rector of the Islamic University of Malaysia, and MunirAhmad Khan, director of the Pakstan Atomic Energy Commission. Mazrui,who focused on the Gulf crisis, spoke about the double standards practicedby the West in dealing with the Muslim ummah. AbuSulayman stressed theneed for reform of character at the individual level for achieving lasting socialchange.The Isma'il and Lamya' al Faruqi Memorial Lecture was delivered byJohn Esposito, director of the Center for International Studies, Holy CrossCollege, Worcester, Massachusetts and past president of the Middle EastStudies Association (MESA). He reminded the Muslim social scientists ofIsma'il al Faruqfs tradition, urging them to become activists and scholarsof Islam at the same time.The conference proceedings were spread over nineteen panels whichoffered a variety of papers on Islam and Muslim life by scholars from NorthAmerica and overseas.The tradition that had been revived three years ago was maintained, andthus the Association of Muslim Scientists and Engineers (AMSE) also heldtheir annual conference concurrently with this year's AMSS conference. Theother tradition that continued was the trialogue between representatives ofthe three Abrahamic faiths.Another feature of the program was the incorporation of the AMSSBusiness Administration seminar. This program featured two panels. In thefirst panel, Ahmed M.

Terence Tunberg is a professor of Latin Language and Literature at the University of Kentucky in Lexington. He is a world-renowned proponent of Latin speaking as a means of helping with language learning and, for more advanced students, as a way to consolidate knowledge of the language. He is the founder and convener of the Lexington Latin Conventiculum, a week-long total immersion seminar in active Latin that takes place each July. Mair Lloyd, a PhD student at the Open University, first met Prof Tunberg when she attended the 2014 Conventiculum and that experience became central to her PhD researching the communicative approach to Latin teaching through a sociocultural perspective on Latin learning. This interview was recorded shortly after she and Prof Tunberg took part in a panel on Living Latin at the Classical Association conference in Edinburgh, in April 2016. A link to recordings of the four panel papers can be found at the end of this article. The fourth recording shows Prof Tunberg demonstrating some of the techniques he uses in his teaching at the Conventiculum.

Abstract Background: Rural and Appalachian cancer survivors have higher rates of invasive stage of disease, increased challenges in accessing health care services, and report poorer health outcomes and greater psychological distress compared to urban cancer survivors. Factors such as resilience-the ability of patients to bounce back after the trauma of a diagnosis- may be an important predictor of well-being, overall cancer experience, and treatment outcomes. In this exploratory study we assess whether residing in urban or rural geographic areas at diagnosis predicts level of self-perceived resilience and correlate relationships with mental and emotional health and social support. Methods: LADDER ‘Life After Diagnosis and Descriptors of Experience and Responses’ (LADDER) Study is an online pilot survey to evaluate experiences of Kentucky adult cancer survivors within the first year of diagnosis. Self-perceived resilience was measured by the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale; higher scores indicate better resilience (range 0-40). Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate Odds Ratios (OR) and 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) for likelihood of low resilience, dichotomized at median score. Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficients (ρ) measured the strength and direction of associations between continuous measures of anxiety, depression, social support, and resilience. Results: Among 46 participants, most were female aged 65 and older, living in non-Appalachian KY with 33% reporting a history of breast cancer. Rural cancer survivors scored 4 points lower in resilience on average than urban cancer survivors. In multivariable models, compared to urban KY survivors, rural KY survivors had a 2-fold higher likelihood of self-perceived low resilience (OR=2.70:95% 0.58-12.5)). Adjusting for age, sex, Appalachian region, and employment partially attenuated the difference in resilience scores; however, estimates were not significant (OR=2.20: 95% 0.24-20.7). Social support, anxiety, and depression were moderately correlated with resilience among both urban (ρ= 0.36 to 0.64) and rural cancer survivors (ρ range: 0.21 to 0.54) Conclusion: The first year after a cancer diagnosis marks the transition into survivorship with major emotional adjustments. Additional recruitment of survivors will allow examination of diverse experiences post-diagnosis which may lead to interventions to improve quality of life in cancer survivors.

Abstract Introduction: Despite efforts to improve patient follow-up care, cancer survivors still face challenges in addressing their mental, physical, and social well-being. Resilience, the patients’ ability to thrive and adapt following cancer diagnosis and treatment, is dynamic and variable within and between populations. Previous literature has reported a low level of resilience among those with higher levels of unmet needs. However, there is a need to assess whether the effect on resilience differs by domain to help tailor interventions. The objective of this exploratory analysis is to measure prevalent unmet needs among cancer survivors in Kentucky and to analyze the association between specific domains of unmet needs and resilience. Methods: LADDER (Life After Diagnosis and Descriptors of Experience and Responses) Study is a pilot project to evaluate the feasibility of online methods of collecting preliminary data for psychosocial factors in cancer survivors. Kentucky residents 18 years and older with a cancer diagnosis within 12 months were eligible to enroll. The CaSUN instrument was used among those who completed active cancer treatment to identify prevalent unmet needs across five domains: Information, Existential Survivorship, Comprehensive cancer care, Quality of Life (QOL), and Relationships. Multivariable logistic regression was used to calculate Odds Ratios (OR) and 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) adjusting for age, sex, education, employment, rural residence, cancer type, and time since diagnosis to estimate the likelihood of self-perceived low resilience, measured by the brief 10-item Connor Davidson Resilience Scale. Results: Of the 57 eligible participants, 46 were included in the analysis (80.7%) after accounting for missing data. A majority (67.4%) reported unmet needs for available information and access to the best medical care. Approximately 88% of those who reported unmet needs regarding cancer care were college graduates. Moreover, the majority who reported unmet needs in all five domains were younger (20-44 years), females, employed, and urban residents. Cancer survivors who reported unmet needs in information (OR: 1.14; 95% CI: 0.19, 6.97), existential survivorship (OR: 2.77; 95% CI: 0.58, 13.16), relationship (OR: 1.17; 95% CI: 0.24, 5.73) and QOL (OR: 2.08; 95% CI: 0.40, 10.82) domains had higher odds of reporting self-perceived low resilience; however, these results were not statistically significant. Negative confounding in adjusted models was observed, where survivors who reported unmet needs related to existential survivorship were 4.9 times more likely to report self-perceived low resilience. Conclusions: Based on this exploratory analysis, unmet needs in the existential survivorship domain, which includes stress reduction, coping mechanisms, and social support, is associated with low resilience. Employment and college education explained more of the likelihood of self-perceived low resilience. Understanding specific needs and factors that affect survivors’ resilience is essential to ongoing survivorship care. Citation Format: Stephie Abraham, Hoa Nguyen, Kathy B.

Abstract The Health Resources and Services Administration funded 48 Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Programs (GWEPs) to partner with community-based organizations in addressing gaps in health care for older adults, promoting Age-Friendly ecosystems, and addressing social determinants of health. This paper discusses three GWEPs collaborative projects with Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) that deliver community-based programs . The University of Utah’s GWEP, a rural AAA, the Alzheimer’s Association, and the Utah Department of Veterans and Military Affairs provided a hybrid Dementia Caregiver Conference to six counties, reaching 65 in-person attendees and 10 senior centers online. Attendees agreed the content met their educational needs, would positively influence care, and was motivation to form a caregiver coalition. The University of Louisville Trager Institute (Trager), AAA, and Kentucky Coalition for Healthy Communities provided focused regional training and sharing of community resources utilizing the Project ECHO training model for 11 AAA regions, reaching 412 home and community-based services professionals. The University of North Texas Health Science Center, AAA, and emergency management services expanded evidence-based programs in falls prevention, medication safety, and dementia caregiving, serving an additional 23 urban postal codes, rural counties, and over 1,900 individuals. These examples utilize unique community relationships and partnership strategies to identify local needs, maximize older adult and family caregiver engagement, measure outcomes, and achieve GWEP goals to educate diverse, underserved and rural communities.

Abstract Background: Despite the efficacy of low-dose computerized tomography (LDCT) to detect lung cancer early, the rate of lung cancer screening among high-risk individuals remains low. The purpose of this study was to assess lung cancer screening rates in contrast with state lung cancer mortality across the United States. Methods: Data for this study were obtained from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) from three consecutive years (2018-2020); a population-based survey administered via cell phone and landline and conducted annually by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Eligibility criteria follow the 2013 U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendation: high-risk individuals aged 55-80 years with a >30 pack-year smoking history who currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years. After excluding ineligible subjects and those with missing information, 11,297 subjects were included in the final analysis. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to assess the association between the predictor (i.e., state of residence) and the outcome variable (i.e., screening rate). Results: Of the 24 states included in this study, the states with the highest lung cancer screening rates were Rhode Island (24.75%), Vermont (22.51%), New Jersey (21.72%), Minnesota (21.64%), and Delaware (21.39%). The states with the lowest screening uptake were Oklahoma (9.23%), Utah (9.78%), West Virginia (12.23%), South Dakota (12.31%), and Kansas (12.41%). Kentucky has the highest lung cancer mortality and has become the 6th highest in screening rates. Utah has the lowest lung cancer mortality and is the second-lowest state in lung cancer screening rates. After adjusting for sociodemographic (i.e., age, gender, marital status, level of education, income, insurance, and race/ethnicity) and health-related factors (i.e., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, smoking history, and primary care provider), high-risk individuals in the state of Delaware (OR: 2.85, 95% CI: 1.50 - 5.41), Kentucky (OR: 2.04, 95% CI: 1.03 - 4.04), Minnesota (OR: 2.74, 95% CI: 1.49 - 5.06), Montana (OR: 2.15, 95% CI: 1.09 - 4.25), New Jersey (OR: 2.39, 95% CI: 1.25 - 4.57), Pennsylvania (OR: 2.28, 95% CI: 1.17 - 4.44), Rhode Island (OR: 2.57, 95% CI: 1.33 - 4.98), Texas (OR: 4.51, 95% CI: 2.04 - 9.97) and Vermont (OR: 3.18, 95% CI: 1.61 - 6.28) were significantly more likely to receive lung cancer screening than those in Utah. High-risk individuals in all the remaining states were not significantly different in terms of their lung cancer screening rates compared to Utah. Conclusions: Lung cancer screening rates varied widely across 24 states and did not match with the lung cancer mortality burden in each state. The results from the present study highlights the importance of developing targeted initiatives and policies that enhance the rates of lung cancer screenings in the states that experience a disproportionate burden of lung cancer mortality.

The panel entitled “Arab Diasporic Writing: Figurations of Space andIdentity” was held on Friday, February 27, at the 2004 Twentieth CenturyLiterature conference at the University of Louisville, Kentucky. Organized by Carol Fadda-Conrey, the panel featured presentations by Professor SyrineHout and Lisa A. Weiss on two Arab diasporic writers, Rabih Alameddineand Leïla Sebbar, respectively.Syrine Hout, an associate professor of English at the AmericanUniversity of Beirut, presented a paper entitled “Lebanon ‘Revisited’:Memory, Self, and Other in Rabih Alameddine’s The Perv.” Singling outAlameddine as an example of Anglophone novelists of the Lebanese diaspora,Hout’s presentation handled complex themes of memory, nostalgia,the homeland, and relationships that generate binding ties in her analysis ofthe short stories featured in The Perv. Published in July 1999, this isAlameddine’s second work of fiction. Comprising eight short stories, ThePerv presents in-depth portrayals of characters in various states of exile anddisplacement, both mental and physical, cultural and psychological.In her analysis, Hout presented the cogent case that Alamaddine shows,by way of his characters, all of whom have been affected by the Lebanesecivil war, how homesickness is more of a “sickness of home,” manifested bywhat Hout defines as “critical memory of the immediate past of the civilwar.” The presentation’s overriding argument, systematically upheld byHout, shows how the notion of “being at home,” as represented in this work,“is not about belonging to a piece of land but about having a peace of mindwhich can be enjoyed anywhere.” In her reading of the first story, “ThePerv,” and the subsequent stories, Hout arrived at an interesting conclusion:Sammy, the title story’s main character, is actually the creator of the othercharacters in the collection to such an extent that he and Alameddine becomeone and the same person. Hout’s analysis of “being at home” in The Perv asbeing engendered “by an emotional reality [more] than a spatial one” bringsto the forefront significant concerns in the study of diasporic literature.Such thematic concerns were also addressed and probed by Lisa Weissin her presentation entitled “‘Arab’ Paris: Reinterpreting the City-Centerthrough the Writings of Leïla Sebbar.” Weiss, a Ph.D. candidate in Frenchand Francophone literature at the University of California, Santa Cruz,lived in Paris during 2003, teaching at the UC Paris Study Center andresearching “Beur” cultural production. She identifies “Beur” as a “colloquialidentification-term from the 1980s used for second- and third-generationFrench citizens born in France to North African immigrant parents.” ...

IntroductionThree medications are Food and Drug Administration approved for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD); however, these medications are underused within prisons, which elevates the risk of relapse and overdose when persons with opioid use disorder (POUD) are released. Research is scant regarding the multilevel factors associated with POUDs’ willingness to initiate medication treatment for opioid use disorder (MOUD) while in prison and their continued engagement in treatment after release. Furthermore, rural and urban populations have not been compared. TheGeographic variation inAddictionTreatmentExperiences (GATE) study seeks to identify multilevel factors (ie, individual, personal network, and structural factors) influencing prison-based extended-release injectable naltrexone (XR-NTX) and buprenorphine initiation and will examine predictors of postrelease MOUD use and adverse outcomes (ie, relapse, overdose, recidivism) among both rural and urban POUDs.Methods and analysisThis mixed methods study employs a social ecological framework. A prospective observational longitudinal cohort study is being conducted with 450 POUDs using survey and social network data collected in prison, immediately postrelease, 6 months postrelease and 12 months postrelease to identify multilevel rural-urban variation in key outcomes. In-depth qualitative interviews are being conducted with POUDs, prison-based treatment staff and social service clinicians. To maximise rigour and reproducibility, we employ a concurrent triangulation strategy, whereby qualitative and quantitative data contribute equally to the analysis and are used for cross-validation when examining scientific aims.Ethics and disseminationThe GATE study was reviewed and approved by the University of Kentucky’s Institutional Review Board prior to implementation. Findings will be disseminated through presentations at scientific and professional association conferences, peer-reviewed journal publications and a summary aggregate report submitted to the Kentucky Department of Corrections.

Summary Based on the knowledge gained from published studies, a new analytical method has been developed for the quantification of mercury (Hg) in the gas-vapor phase of mainstream cigarette smoke and in heated tobacco aerosol generated by a tobacco heating system (THS) using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). From a preliminary test, the mercury concentration in the particulate matter of mainstream smoke from Kentucky reference cigarettes 3R4F generated under the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) smoking regimen was compared with the mercury concentration in the gasvapor phase to assure that mercury is only measurable in the gas-vapor phase, as reported in an earlier published study. The particulate matter was collected using an electrostatic precipitation trap and was analyzed by ICP-MS after a mineralization step. The gas-vapor phase was trapped in the same smoking run as for the particulate matter using two impingers containing a nitric acid-hydrochloric acid-gold solution. The impingers were connected in series behind the electrostatic precipitation trap and the combined impinger solution was analyzed by ICP-MS after sample dilution without further sample treatment. The addition of gold has shown to be efficient for maintaining mercury in an ionized form in the impinger solution and to minimize the mercury memory effect in the sample introduction system of the ICP-MS. Only mercury in the gas-vapor phase could be quantified whereas the signal for mercury in the particulate matter was found close to those of blank solutions and was not measurable, as already mentioned in an earlier study. Following this preliminary test, the electrostatic precipitation trap was replaced by a Cambridge filter pad for the separation of the gas-vapor phase from the particulate matter where only mercury in the gas-vapor phase was quantified. The method for the quantification of mercury in the gas-vapor phase of aerosols obtained under Health Canada (HC) and ISO smoking regimens was validated according to International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) and Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) guidelines. Accuracy profiles were evaluated as described in Association Française de Normalisation (AFNOR). The regression curve was shown to be linear within the evaluated concentration range from 25 pg/mL to 1000 pg/mL with a weighting factor 1/x. The coefficients of variation for repeatability (r) were 3.6% for 3R4F and 4.8% for THS under HC smoking regimen and 3.6% for 3R4F and 4.6% for THS under ISO smoking regimen. The coefficients of variation for intermediate precision (IP) were 7.7% for 3R4F and 7.7% for THS under HC smoking regimen and 4.7% for 3R4F and 4.6% for THS under ISO smoking regimen. The nominal mercury concentrations for 3R4F obtained during the validation under both HC and ISO smoking regimens were found to be in line with results reported in a previously published CORESTA study.

ObjectivesThe overall goal of the Kentucky Viral Hepatitis Treatment Study (KeY Treat) is to eliminate hepatitis C transmission from a county in Appalachian Kentucky by removing the barriers to accessing hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment.Methods/analysisKeY Treat is a phase IV, open-label, single-arm clinical trial of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) for the treatment of viraemic HCV infections. Those eligible for KeY Treat are at least 18 years of age, viraemic and are residents of the target county. Pregnant women are not eligible. Rapid HCV RNA screening is used to determine eligibility, and those with a quantifiable viral load (VL) consenting to participate initiate SOF/VEL on the same day. All pharmacologic treatment and related medical care is provided free of charge using a non-specialist provider model. Follow-up visits occur at 2, 6 and 12 weeks during treatment to assess medication adherence (measured via VL and self-report), side effects and engagement in risk behaviours. Post-treatment visits occur at 12 weeks (sustained virologic response (SVR12) visit), 6 months and 12 months post-treatment completion to assess re-infection. A control county has also been identified, and prevalence and incidence of chronic HCV infections will be compared with the target community longitudinally. The primary outcome to assess elimination is SVR12. However, several outcomes will be measured to assess the effectiveness of removing the barriers to HCV treatment, including treatment entry, completion and re-infection. Analyses will be conducted via a generalised linear model framework that can incorporate flexible covariate adjustment and multiple outcome types with a compatible link function. Mathematical modelling will be completed assessing the impact and cost-effectiveness of the intervention.Ethics and disseminationKeY Treat has been approved by the Institutional Review Board at the University of Kentucky. Results from KeY Treat will be presented at conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals.Trial registration numberNCT03949764.

Abstract Appalachia has a higher burden of cervical cancer than other regions of the United States. Cervical cancer risk factors and causes are largely known, so evidence-based interventions in health systems addressing those factors and causes can improve cervical cancer incidence and mortality rates. Take CARE (Clinical Avenues to Reach Health Equity) is designed to address three factors strongly associated with cervical cancer and is made up of three evidence-based complementary initiatives focused on HPV vaccination, smoking cessation, and cervical cancer screening: I Vaccinate, Break Free, and The HOME Initiative, respectively. The overall goal is to use implementation science designs to provide an integrated approach to reduce cervical cancer risk among patients of 39 health centers from ten participating systems. The project was implemented in two phases: formative and trial. In the formative phase, community profiles were developed to better understand the cancer burden and resources available. Community members and clinic staff were interviewed about barriers to cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination and norms about screening, vaccination, and tobacco cessation. Findings informed study materials. Clinic champions were identified, and implementation teams were formed to support the champion role. Details were gathered about facility processes, staffing, patient load, and existing cervical cancer-related activities. Waiting room seating, availability of digital displays, number of exam rooms, and locations for promotional materials and staff trainings were documented through environmental scans. The trial phase was introduced as a delayed group implementation design in ten health systems located in Appalachian counties of Kentucky, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia from October 2020 to June 2022. Five systems were assigned to an Early Group and five to a Late Group that would receive the intervention 12 months after Early systems. I Vaccinate was first to be implemented, promoting HPV vaccination in 9–45-year-olds. Health systems receive education materials and providers select strategies and set goals to improve vaccination rates. Break Free was introduced six to eight weeks later and identifies eligible smokers who want to quit in the next six months, providing free smoking cessation counseling and medication to patients. Systems received education on the Ask, Advise, Refer model and could select staff to be trained as Tobacco Treatment Specialists. HOME was the final initiative introduced and focuses on improving cervical cancer screening in underscreened female patients via a mail-based HPV self-sampling program. One year after the first initiative launched, health systems were taught to bundle the initiatives as one program, Take CARE. After this, the Early systems entered a sustainability phase for two years. The process will occur similarly for Delayed health systems but with only one year of sustainability. Analyses will focus on changes in HPV vaccination, smoking cessation, and cervical cancer screening over time. Citation Format: Ryan D. Baltic, Roger Anderson, Mark B. Dignan, Amy K.

IntroductionMany rural communities bear a disproportionate share of drug-related harms. Innovative harm reduction service models, such as vending machines or kiosks, can expand access to services that reduce drug-related harms. However, few kiosks operate in the USA, and their implementation, impact and cost-effectiveness have not been adequately evaluated in rural settings. This paper describes the Kentucky Outreach Service Kiosk (KyOSK) Study protocol to test the effectiveness, implementation outcomes and cost-effectiveness of a community-tailored, harm reduction kiosk in reducing HIV, hepatitis C and overdose risk in rural Appalachia.Methods and analysisKyOSK is a community-level, controlled quasi-experimental, non-randomised trial. KyOSK involves two cohorts of people who use drugs, one in an intervention county (n=425) and one in a control county (n=325). People who are 18 years or older, are community-dwelling residents in the target counties and have used drugs to get high in the past 6 months are eligible. The trial compares the effectiveness of a fixed-site, staffed syringe service programme (standard of care) with the standard of care supplemented with a kiosk. The kiosk will contain various harm reduction supplies accessible to participants upon valid code entry, allowing dispensing data to be linked to participant survey data. The kiosk will include a call-back feature that allows participants to select needed services and receive linkage-to-care services from a peer recovery coach. The cohorts complete follow-up surveys every 6 months for 36 months (three preceding kiosk implementation and four post-implementation). The study will test the effectiveness of the kiosk on reducing risk behaviours associated with overdose, HIV and hepatitis C, as well as implementation outcomes and cost-effectiveness.Ethics and disseminationThe University of Kentucky Institutional Review Board approved the protocol. Results will be disseminated in academic conferences and peer-reviewed journals, online and print media, and community meetings.Trial registration numberNCT05657106.

Restorative Justice (RJ) models of diversion from the criminal justice system have been used successfully with adults and youth charged with minor offenses. Professionally mediated RJ conferences bring together the offender and the person(s) harmed to discuss the impact of their actions and develop a plan to restore community safety and make amends. An RJ model aimed at diverting youth from the juvenile justice system for minor offenses has successfully worked in an urban region in Kentucky for over a decade. The same RJ model was piloted in a very rural region of the state. The program goal was to decrease youth involvement in the criminal justice system and create positive change within the communities and families involved in youth-initiated crimes. Interestingly, the rural location of the RJ program has run into unique challenges not experienced in the urban area. This paper examines preliminary outcomes data. Differences in juvenile justice and community involvement approaches that need to be addressed when establishing an RJ program in a geographically rural area are highlighted. Suggestions for how to incorporate RJ diversion programs into rural communities are provided.

IntroductionExposure to airborne particulate matter (PM) is associated with cardiovascular disease. These outcomes are believed to originate from pulmonary oxidative stress and the systemic delivery of oxidised biomolecules (eg, aldehydes) generated in the lungs. Carnosine is an endogenous di-peptide (β-alanine-L-histidine) which promotes physiological homeostasis in part by conjugating to and neutralising toxic aldehydes. We hypothesise that an increase of endogenous carnosine by dietary supplementation would mitigate the adverse cardiovascular outcomes associated with PM exposure in humans.Methods and analysisTo test this, we designed the Nucleophilic Defense Against PM Toxicity trial. This trial will enroll 240 participants over 2 years and determine if carnosine supplementation mitigates the adverse effects of PM inhalation. The participants will have low levels of endogenous carnosine to facilitate identification of supplementation-specific outcomes. At enrollment, we will measure several indices of inflammation, preclinical cardiovascular disease and physical function. Participants will be randomly allocated to carnosine or placebo groups and instructed to take their oral supplement for 12 weeks with two return clinical visits and repeated assessments during times of peak PM exposure (June–September) in Louisville, Kentucky, USA. Statistical modelling approaches will be used to assess the efficacy of carnosine supplementation in mitigating adverse outcomes.Ethics and disseminationThis study protocol has been approved by the Institutional Review Board at the University of Louisville. Results from this study will be disseminated at scientific conferences and in peer-reviewed publications.Trial registration:NCT03314987; Pre-results

In a 1990 review of Jenny Bourne Taylor's In the Secret Theatre of Home: Wilkie Collins, Sensation Narrative, and Nineteenth-Century Psychology (1988), Lawrence Rothfield commented that the book explores what “until recently might have seemed a bizarrely specialized cultural context and an equally obscure literary phenomenon” (97). Rothfield argued that Taylor's study was representative of the recent move to new historicist methodologies, which made contexts and authors once considered to be historical footnotes important to scholarship. Prior to that shift, “[n]ineteenth-century English psychology, a mishmash of scientifically dubious theories and practices such as phrenology, physiognomy, moral management, and mesmerism, hardly seemed key to understanding the broad cultural issues of concern as traditionally construed in Victorian studies” (97). Strikingly, now some twenty-five years later, knowledge of nineteenth-century psychology seems essential to the field. Presses, alert to that shift, have republished out-of-print literary studies that explored Victorian literature in relation to psychology in the years preceding the current surge of interest in the subject. (Faas's 1989 Retreat into the Mind: Victorian Poetry and the Rise of Psychiatry was reissued by Princeton University Press in a 2016 hardcover edition. Kearns's 1987 Metaphors of Mind in Fiction and Psychology was reissued in 2014 by the University of Kentucky Press.) Judging by the number of publications in the area, as well as by titles on the programs of recent conferences, the sciences of the mind have become one of the central topics in Victorian studies.

IntroductionTobacco use leads to increased mortality, the majority of which is attributed to cardiovascular disease. Despite this knowledge, the early cardiovascular impact of tobacco product use is not well understood. Tobacco use increases exposure to harmful and potentially harmful constituents including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as acrolein and crotonaldehyde, which may contribute to cardiovascular risk. The link between exposure patterns, risk profiles and demographic distribution of tobacco product users, particularly users of new and emerging products, are not well known. Therefore, we designed the Cardiovascular Injury due to Tobacco Use (CITU) study to assess population characteristics, demographic features, exposure patterns and cardiovascular risk in relation to tobacco.Methods and analysisWe present the design and methodology of the CITU study, a cross-sectional observational tobacco study conducted in Boston, Massachusetts and Louisville, Kentucky starting in 2014. Healthy participants 21–45 years of age who use tobacco products, including electronic nicotine devices, or who never used tobacco are being recruited. The study aims to recruit an evenly split cohort of African-Americans and Caucasians, that is, sex balanced for evaluation of self-reported tobacco exposure, VOC exposure and tobacco-induced injury profiling. Detailed information about participant’s demographics, health status and lifestyle is also collected.Ethics and disseminationThe study protocol was approved institutional review boards at both participating universities. All study protocols will protect participant confidentiality. Results from the study will be disseminated via peer-reviewed journals and presented at scientific conferences.

Introduction Rural communities bear a disproportionate share of the opioid and methamphetamine use disorder epidemics. Yet, rural people who use drugs (PWUD) are rarely included in trials testing new drug use prevention and treatment strategies. Numerous barriers impede rural PWUD trial engagement and advancing research methods to better retain rural PWUD in clinical trials is needed. This paper describes the Peer-based Retention Of people who Use Drugs in Rural Research (PROUD-R2) study protocol to test the effectiveness of a peer-driven intervention to improve study retention among rural PWUD. Methods and analysis The PROUD-R2study is being implemented in 21 rural counties in three states (Kentucky, Ohio and Oregon). People who are 18 years or older, reside in the study area and either used opioids or injected any drug to get high in the past 30 days are eligible for study inclusion. Participants are allocated in a 1:1 ratio to two arms, stratified by site to assure balance at each geographical location. The trial compares the effectiveness of two retention strategies. Participants randomised to the control arm provide detailed contact information and receive standard retention outreach by study staff (ie, contacts for locator information updates, appointment reminders). Participants randomised to the intervention arm are asked to recruit a ‘study buddy’ in addition to receiving standard retention outreach. Study buddies are invited to participate in a video training and instructed to remind their intervention participant of follow-up appointments and encourage retention. Assessments are completed by intervention, control and study buddy participants at 6 and 12 months after enrolment. Ethics and dissemination The protocol was approved by a central Institutional Review Board (University of Utah). Results of the study will be disseminated in academic conferences and peer-reviewed journals, online and print media, and in meetings with community stakeholders.

IntroductionOpioid-involved overdose deaths continue to surge in many communities, despite numerous evidence-based practices (EBPs) that exist to prevent them. The HEALing Communities Study (HCS) was launched to develop and test an intervention (ie, Communities That HEAL (CTH)) that supports communities in expanding uptake of EBPs to reduce opioid-involved overdose deaths. This paper describes a protocol for a process foundational to the CTH intervention through which community coalitions select strategies to implement EBPs locally.Methods and analysisThe CTH is being implemented in 67 communities (randomised to receive the intervention) in four states in partnership with coalitions (one per community). Coalitions must select at least five strategies, including one to implement each of the following EBPs: (a) overdose education and naloxone distribution; expanded (b) access to medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), (c) linkage to MOUD, (d) retention in MOUD and (e) safer opioid prescribing/dispensing. Facilitated by decision aid tools, the community action planning process includes (1) data-driven goal setting, (2) discussion and prioritisation of EBP strategies, (3) selection of EBP strategies and (4) identification of next steps. Following review of epidemiologic data and information on existing local services, coalitions set goals and discuss, score and/or rank EBP strategies based on feasibility, appropriateness within the community context and potential impact on reducing opioid-involved overdose deaths with a focus on three key sectors (healthcare, behavioural health and criminal justice) and high-risk/vulnerable populations. Coalitions then select EBP strategies through consensus or majority vote and, subsequently, suggest or choose agencies with which to partner for implementation.Ethics and disseminationThe HCS protocol was approved by a central Institutional Review Board (Advarra). Results of the action planning process will be disseminated in academic conferences and peer-reviewed journals, online and print media, and in meetings with community stakeholders.Trial registration numberNCT04111939.

In this June 2024 issue of the Science Education International, we are proud to present an array of scholarly articles that highlight the diverse and innovative approaches to science education from ten different countries: Türkiye, Greece, Estonia, Latvia, Philippines, USA, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, and China. This collection underscores the global commitment to enhancing science education through varied methodologies, cultural contexts, and unique challenges. Some of these articles were presented at the 7th ICASE World Science and Technology Education Conference, held in Dubai between March 27 and 30, 2024, further enriching the discussions with insights shared among global experts. The first article is from Türkiye. The article mentions that the rise in STEM education has led to more authors promoting Arduino in STEM. While research exists on Arduino and STEM separately, more studies on their relationship are needed. This study uses software tools (Vosviewer, Biblioshiny) and bibliometric methods, analyzing documents from Scopus (2013-2022). Performance analysis showed publication and citation trends, highlighting top contributors. Bibliographic mapping revealed conceptual, intellectual, and social structures. Results indicated prolific authors and institutes in Türkiye, with the most cited from the USA. Türkiye may soon lead due to high growth rates and younger documents. The study warns of potential monopolization and highlights the need for increased researcher mobility and collaboration. Overall, Arduino shows great promise in future STEM activities. The second article is from Greece. The article surveys primary students in Greece on their views toward STEM education based on urban or rural settings and gender. The sample included 281 students from Attica and 69 from a Greek province. Data was collected via a close-ended digital questionnaire. Most students felt good at math and science but unlikely to pursue related careers. They reported strong communication and cooperation skills. Rural students showed more confidence in improving their math and science skills, the usefulness of STEM knowledge, and awareness of environmental issues. Boys showed slightly more interest in STEM careers. The study suggests further research on geographical, gender, and socioeconomic disparities in STEM education. The third article, a case study from Estonia, aimed to enhance pre-service science teachers’ readiness for integration, inquiry-based learning (IBL), ICT use, and real-life applications in teacher training. It explored their perceptions of these methods and how their views evolved over time. A questionnaire was administered to 50 pre-service science teachers before and after their 2-year training, with data analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Findings showed that teachers studying multiple science subjects valued integration, IBL, ICT use, and real-life examples more, with significant perception changes over time. Nearly half did not see IBL as crucial, and only a quarter recognized the importance of ICT. The fourth article is from Latvia. The article addresses that teacher competence management and development are now school responsibilities, but school leaders often lack the tools and experience. Competence management in schools can involve identifying and implementing professional development (PD) tailored to teachers' needs. Unlike the "one size fits all" approach, personalized PD can be more effective. This study focuses on identifying science teacher profiles to improve teaching that promotes student conceptual understanding (CU). Using a mixed-method approach, the performance of 26 urban science teachers was observed and analyzed. The study identified six distinct teacher profiles, demonstrating varied PD needs and offering a methodology for using lesson observation data to create teacher profiles in small samples. The fifth article is the second article from Greece. The study examines 12th-grade students' understanding of "orbital" and "electron cloud" concepts in quantum contexts (n=1 and n=2) through verbal and pictorial representations. It involved 192 students from six urban schools in Northern Greece using a paper-and-pencil assessment. Results show students struggle more with verbal explanations than pictorial ones and exhibit inconsistencies between these representations. They understand the electron cloud better verbally, but the orbital better pictorially. Representations for n=2 are more challenging than for n=1. Students were categorized into four classes based on their profiles, with implications for science education discussed. The sixth article is written by researchers from the Philippines and the USA. This meta-analysis study (2017-2021) assessed the impact of Socio-Scientific Issues (SSI)-based approaches on learners' conceptual understanding, environmental attitudes, and pro-environmental behavior. Analyzing various SSI techniques, the findings revealed a strong positive influence on understanding complex environmental issues and promoting sustainable behavior. The study noted that SSI fosters critical thinking and engagement but also identified potential publication biases. It emphasized the need for context-specific strategies and interdisciplinary collaboration in climate change education. Overall, the SSI approach helps develop proactive, environmentally conscious citizens capable of addressing global issues. The seventh article is from USA. The study investigated the impact of an active project-based, aquaculture constructivist-learning program on high school students' perceptions. It aimed to determine if the program influenced students' interest, engagement, and future educational and career aspirations in STEM fields, both inside and outside the classroom. The study also sought to understand students' knowledge about aquaculture and skill development post-program participation. Qualitative data were gathered through post-student focus groups, teacher journal reflections, and public newspaper articles from three rural high schools in Kentucky. Four main themes emerged: (1) students demonstrated excitement and enthusiasm in the hands-on aquaculture program; (2) students exhibited attention to detail in aquaculture tasks, leading to increased responsibility; (3) students engaged collaboratively with their peers; and (4) there was a greater interest and confidence in STEM through practical application. The results indicated that the program engaged learners in real-world problem-solving and decision-making situations, fostering collaboration and enhancing skills such as responsibility and self-confidence in STEM. The eighth article is from Thailand. This research assessed the ability of Thai grade 10 students to construct scientific explanations and explored differences based on learning achievement, attitude toward science, and school size. The study involved 231 students from Phetchaburi province, Thailand, with 77.5% demonstrating moderate ability levels. Significant differences were found in students' ability levels based on their learning achievement, attitude toward science, and school size. The study also revealed correlations between students' ability levels and their learning achievement, attitude toward science, and school size. Students with higher learning achievement, positive attitudes, and attendance at larger schools tended to have higher ability levels. However, there was no significant relationship between students' attitudes toward science and school size. These findings emphasize the importance of considering individual differences and backgrounds, particularly in terms of learning achievement, attitude toward science, and school size, when teaching science. The ninth article is from United Arab Emirates (UAE). This mixed-approach study explores the effects of virtual science laboratories on students' motivation and attitude toward science. Conducted in an American curriculum private school in Dubai, the research surveyed 237 students from grades 7 to 11. Results show that virtual laboratories positively impact students' overall motivation, including intrinsic motivation, perceived usefulness, effort, perceived self-efficacy, and attitude toward science. Perceived self-efficacy and perceived usefulness significantly influence students' attitudes toward science, with perceived self-efficacy being a predictor of their effort. The tenth article is from South Africa. This study examines the effectiveness of Khan Academy Videos (KAVs) in rural thermodynamics education. 88 students were divided into two groups: one taught traditionally (control group [CG]) and the other using KAVs (experimental group [EG]). Results show significant improvement in learning outcomes and engagement with KAVs, with EG scores increasing by 61% compared to 31% in the CG. Pre-tests and post-tests were used to measure academic performance, and a mixed-method approach analyzed results and feedback. The study highlights the positive impact of KAV integration on student performance, especially in resource-limited rural schools, suggesting its transformative potential in enhancing teaching quality. The eleventh article is from China. The article analyzes 30 documents from Web of Science and CNKI databases to compare and understand the role of science teachers in China and overseas. The research highlights slow development in both Chinese and English publications, with most studies in theoretical exploration. The role of science teachers encompasses five main aspects: Role expectation, role orientation, role identification, role transformation, and role enactment. Combining the "should be" research from Chinese publications with the "real" research from English publications could lead to a more comprehensive understanding and positive interaction. This analysis provides a basis for future research on the role of science teachers.

This agrarian geography of Kentucky begins on the streets of the state's largest city, in the throes of antiracist struggle. It tracks the state's lingering colonial settler power dynamics through the racism of plantation, extraction, and carceral geographies. It then traces how resistance to these exploitations take root in place-based agri-food initiatives unfolding through urban-rural solidarity against white supremacist policing, prison systems, labor exploitation, and extractivism. It begins with a brief overview of the scale of reference of Kentucky itself. Situating the state entails addressing the trauma and topophilia (love of landscape) of its agrarian past and present. It draws upon bell hooks’ literary invocations of Kentucky-based agrarian visions, as well as place-based political ecology scholarship (seven years of Kentucky Agrarian Questions practitioner panels at the Dimensions of Political Ecology Conference at University of Kentucky). Following Black and abolitionist geographies, this agrarian geography traces rural and urban shared struggles for food sovereignty, environmental justice, and liberation from racism of carceral systems. It introduces Kentucky grassroots projects connecting and uniting rural and urban struggles against carceral violence and the racism therein, such as Hood to the Holler (a political initiative emerging from Black Lives Matter mobilizations for Breonna Taylor). The essay ends with reflections on the political-ecological contradictions and imperative of working through and beyond a settler-colonial-state scale of reference like Kentucky. To extricate from and dismantle plantation modes and carceral legacies, abolitionist agrarian geographies recover the reality of Black and Indigenous agrarian history, presence, and futures. As such, rooted in place-based reckoning, resistance, and responsibility, they offer hope.
