The Older Person With Cancer
Authors: Saff Danielle , Kelly Sarah , Petgrave-Nelson Lisa 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores health care disparities and their impact on older adult patients while identifying the unique and dynamic role oncology social workers can play in improving and enhancing their quality of life throughout the cancer continuum. Older adults are the fastest-growing segment of the population, and age is a significant risk factor for a cancer diagnosis. Older adults diagnosed with cancer frequently present with multiple comorbidities and psychosocial challenges. Palliative care can provide symptom management and psychosocial support, however, is often underused. This chapter discusses the emotional and practical challenges that older adults navigate while also exploring the impact of ageism, racism, and health disparities. It will explore the intersection of palliative care and oncology social work and provide further insight into the patient-centered care model and best clinical practices.
Cancer in Middle Age
Authors: Cammarata Meredith , Fortune Samantha , Hodgson Carissa 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter discusses the unique challenges and strengths of the middle-aged (ages 45–64) cancer patient and highlights specific interventions that are found to be effective with this population. Psychosocial and systemic factors contributing to cancer patients in middle age are examined, including body image, sexuality, fertility, parenting, caregiving, employment, finances, spirituality, and health care disparities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), meaning-centered psychotherapy, dignity therapy, and grief work are reviewed as valuable interventions. A learning exercise and list of references are included to facilitate understanding and best practices.
Ethical and Legal Issues in Oncology and Palliative Care Social Work
Authors: Eckel Lori , Woods Phylicia L. , Smolinski Kathryn M. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter considers the complex moral, legal, and ethical landscape of health care and the intersection of clinical care, organizational structures, policies, and processes in oncology and palliative care social work. The patient experience as well as those of health care workers are impacted by the ethical climate in which care is delivered. Understanding both the legal context and ethical principles as they are applied in patient care from screening and treatment through survivorship and beyond is essential. Social workers may encounter ethical dilemmas in practice that can contribute to distress, and mitigation of this experience can occur on both the individual and institutional level. Fierce dedication to enhancing the well-being of individuals, families, and communities positions social workers to be leaders in creating balanced policies that dismantle social inequalities and health inequities.
Professional Social Work Development and Sustainability
Authors: Snow Alison , Goltz Heather Honore 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines the oncology social work professional development continuum from academic training programs through continuing education opportunities. It describes the direct and indirect processes and means by which generalist clinical or medical social workers develop professional identities and competencies of oncology social workers (OSWs). Professional development areas and competencies discussed include ethics and legal issues, technology, supervision and consultation, research, and advocacy, as well as social determinants of health and community engagement. It also highlights critical challenges, or pitfalls, relevant to individual OSWs and the profession as a whole, including but not limited to sustainability, compensation and benefits, burnout, and oncology social workers’ roles as essential and front-line workers. Pearls of wisdom are offered on formalizing pathways to the OSW profession and building sustainable- and JEDI (justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion)–oriented OSW practice as both the profession and its oncology patient populations become more diverse.
Estranged Pioneers
Authors: Edwards Korie Little , Kim Rebecca Y. 
Published: February 2024

AbstractIn today’s contentious climate, when diversity is both acclaimed and assaulted, this book examines what it means for people of color to lead in diverse multiracial spaces. Specifically, it examines how pastors of color lead the scarce but growing numbers of multiracial congregations in the United States. The book answers the following questions: What does it mean for pastors of color to lead in multiracial spaces? Who are these pastors of color that serve as head clergy of multiracial congregations? What are the challenges and advantages that they encounter, and how do they manage their role as head clergy? How do their experiences compare to their white pastor counterparts who also head multiracial congregations? The book also discusses the broader implications for other leaders in multiracial contexts. The data come from the first nationally representative comparative study of multiracial congregations across the United States that examines race and pastoral leadership, the Religious Leadership and Diversity Project (2014–16).
Voluntary Sterilization and Regret
Authors: McQueen Paddy 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter analyses women’s experiences of requesting to be sterilised and the frequency with which these requests are denied by doctors, often because of the worry that the woman may come to regret her decision. Contrary to these worries, it is demonstrated that very few women regret choosing to be sterilised. Furthermore, it is argued that the possibility of regret is not a good reason for denying a sterilization request, even if the probability of regret is high. The chapter shows why sterilization can be a woman’s preferred form of contraception, precisely because it is permanent and difficult to reverse. It also demonstrates how other facets of a woman’s identity may make it more or less likely that her sterilization request is agreed to. It ends with a discussion of why women requesting sterilization may be subject to epistemic injustice, especially because of the impact of pronatalism.
Microaggressions Reconsidered
Authors: Freeman Lauren , Stewart Heather 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter launches a novel critique of the dominant view of microaggressions made popular by psychologist Derald Wing Sue and his colleagues. The authors call this view the act-based account because it theorizes microaggressions from the perspective of those enacting them and categorizes them on the basis of the type of act committed. The critique consists of four main problems with the act-based account of microaggressions that illuminate theoretical, practical, and moral limitations of such an approach. On the basis of these problems, the chapter argues that an act-based account of microaggressions must be revised. The critique and analysis presented here set the stage for Chapter 3, which introduces and develops a novel, harm-based account of microaggressions. Such an account avoids the theoretical, practical, and moral limitations of the act-based account.
Introduction
Authors: Singer Daniel J. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
In the introduction, the book is cast as a kind of self-help guide for readers interested in learning about truth-loving epistemic consequentialism, the view that the right belief is the one that overall best conduces to true belief and the lack of false belief. The introduction gives the reader an overview of how to think of the project of the book. It gives summary overviews of the main topics discussed. It highlights the naturalistic flavor of the main view defended in the book, which takes seriously the strengths and limitations of real human epistemic agents. It guides the reader as to which chapters they might want to focus on, and it concludes with acknowledgements.
On Veritism and Promoting the Epistemic Good
Authors: Singer Daniel J. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter defends truth-loving epistemic consequentialism from objections that center around its claim that we should promote having true beliefs. It starts by showing why the view doesn't fall prey to the generalized swamping problem discussed by Sylvan (2018). It then turns to an objection from Grimm (2009), which says that epistemic consequentialism erroneously entails that we should spend our time learning trivial truths by, for example, memorizing the phone book or counting blades of grass. The chapter argues that the examples are misleading, and it argues that the view really does get the right results in those cases. The chapter finally considers an objection from Littlejohn (2018), which claims that there is no sense of ‘good’ in which epistemic goodness is to be promoted. The chapter doesn't commit the consequentialist to a particular way of responding to this charge, but it does show that there are several options open.
Why a Practical Playbook about Working Together to Improve Maternal Health?
Authors: Jackson Alisahah , Cilenti Dorothy , Yates Lindsey , Verbiest Sarah , Michener J. Lloyd , Hernandez Natalie D. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Every day, two or three women die because of pregnancy or childbirth. Nearly 80% of these deaths are preventable. These outcomes disproportionately impact racialized populations, including Black and Indigenous women, who are two to three times more likely to die. The purpose of this book is to provide strategic, practical opportunities to address worsening maternal health outcomes and to achieve health equity. The 50 chapters are divided into six main sections: Section I, Introduction; Section II, Collaborations; Section III, Equity; Section IV, Data; Section V, Innovations; and Section VI, Systems and Scalability. Each chapter offers a different strategy that stakeholders can apply to improve maternal health in their community.
Promoting Federal Partnerships for Effective Program Implementation
Authors: Busse Clara E. , Lloyd Sandra J. , Wilkes Ashley , Vladutiu Catherine J. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The rates of pregnancy-related mortality and severe maternal morbidity differ significantly by sociodemographic factors, including race and ethnicity, education, and geography. Recognizing that, according to the CDC, nearly two-thirds of pregnancy-related deaths are considered preventable, federal agencies have made considerable efforts to address this critical issue. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has several programs across its 11 offices and seven bureaus that promote the health of birthing people and their pregnancies, including those that address women’s preventive services, interconception care, family planning, mental health, and child/adolescent health. Within HRSA, the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) aims to improve the health and well-being of America’s mothers, children, and families. HRSA and MCHB take a life-course approach to maternal and child health by supporting these populations across each life stage, from infancy through adulthood.
What It Really Takes to Succeed: Practical Tips for Maternal Health Collaboration
Authors: Hanson Piia , Sherman Kimberly 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Practitioners who work at the state and local levels must employ a different set of skills and tools when collaborating to address maternal mortality and morbidity. This chapter provides an overview of the state maternal health innovation program convened by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). We also provide practical tips for building state-led collaborations to address maternal health. As part of the chapter, practitioners from each of the nine states—Arizona. Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Montana, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, and Oklahoma—describe their collaborations and provide information on tools and frameworks used to achieve success.
Impacting Maternal and Prenatal Care Together: A Harris County/Houston Collaborative
Authors: Hanke June , Freeny Jamie , Buzi Ruth S. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
In 2010, public health leaders in Harris County, Texas, one the most populous counties in the US, came together to strategize how to address worsening maternal health inequities in their community. Their solution was the creation of the multisector Impacting Maternal and Prenatal Care Together (IMPACT) Collaborative. This chapter describes the structure of the collaborative, and the strategies and components that were necessary to establish this multisector community collaborative in Harris County, Texas. The chapter also identifies effective strategies that facilitate equitable and inclusive community engagement and commitment and lists barriers to, and facilitators for, achieving collaborative sustainability. The IMPACT Collaborative remains committed to addressing poor maternal health outcomes. We outline some of the key components that contribute to the longevity and sustainability of this collaborative.
Environmental Impacts on Maternal Health
Authors: Okoh Michele 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
There is growing research demonstrating the impact of environmental health exposures on birthing people, including the impact those exposures have before and during pregnancy. Environmental exposures can be positive, like green spaces, or negative, like pollution. However, environmental benefits and burdens are not distributed equitably, and as such, people of color are more likely to live in physical environments where they are more likely to encounter negative exposures. Applying an environmental justice approach allows us to examine the underlying structures which contribute to inequity, including both place-based and product-based exposures such as endocrine-disrupting personal care products and lack of access to safe drinking water. Providers do not have to be experts in environmental justice to integrate this approach in their assessment, counselling, and advocacy with patients. Using the Health Belief Model, providers can offer support and guidance about environmental impacts on maternal health.
Democratizing Data: Understanding the Challenges and Opportunities for Community-Based Utilization of Maternal Mortality Data and Maternal Health Interventions
Authors: Cross Athena , Silberman Pam 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
A variety of state and federal data sources are available in the United States. These data sources include Maternal Mortality Review Information Application (MMRIA), Maternal Mortality Review Committees, the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS), and the Pregnancy Mortality Surveillance System (PMSS). The availability of, and data metrics included in, each of these data sources vary depending on the source and the state. This chapter describes some of the limitations of the data, and highlights opportunities to improve the data for community-based use. The chapter also describes federal and state interventions, like Perinatal Quality Collaboratives (PQC), that can be coupled with the work of community-based organizations focused on maternal health outcomes. Combining federal, state, and local strategies as well as providing access to data are key to improving outcomes.
Scaling Up and Sustaining Improvements in Maternal Health Equity
Authors: Michener J. Lloyd 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Previous chapters of this book have identified a number of innovations that address the multiple, reinforcing factors contributing to maternal health inequities. To achieve maternal health equity, it will be important to continue to build these innovations and link sustaining systems. This section includes 10 chapters written by experts from federal, state, and local agencies and organizations (e.g., Maternal and Child Health Bureau, Georgia Health Policy Center, academic health systems, American Academy of Family Physicians, California Health Care Foundation, and North Carolina Area Health Education Centers) that describe “plays” to build sustained systems of maternal healthcare.
Building a Maternal Health Workforce to Advance Equity, Partnerships, and Healthy Communities
Authors: Mullenix Amy J. , Menard M. Kathryn 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Public health professionals are charged with a broader agenda to promote an environment in which “all people can achieve their full potential for health and well-being across the lifespan.” Medical and public health workforces, together with community partners, comprise a national maternal health workforce, striving to produce healthy and equitable outcomes for maternal populations. The active presence of community maternal health professionals, such as community health workers and doulas, is likely to advance equity for several reasons: These professionals are often members of the local community and reflect its values. They are culturally fluent and trusted by the community. They often serve as effective liaisons between community groups and more traditional clinical and public health workforces. They are often more racially and ethnically diverse than traditional maternal health professionals, and they increase the overall number of maternal health providers in a given community. In addition to the maternity care professionals mentioned above, other providers who serve this population play a critical role in bolstering the maternal health workforce: mental health professionals, social workers, dietitians, WIC professionals, and many others contribute to the constellation of professionals who support maternal health populations.

The book is a resource full of reasonable, tangible “plays” that can address inequities in maternal health for those invested in solutions. The journey forward continues.
Introduction
Authors: Ollion Étienne 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The books as to what degree the past trajectory of political leaders has an impact on their practice of politics, and on the functioning of democracy overall. The question, which has important political and scientific implications, has often been evoked, but has so far only received partial and sometimes contradictory responses. After reviewing important works and ideas on the topic of amateurs in politics, the chapter present the motivation and the analytical strategy set forth in the book to respond to this puzzle. It also details how the data was collected. Meshing together quantitative data analyzed with artificial intelligence with dozens of interviews and with hundreds of hours of ethnography, it offers novels insights in the life and work of political novices.
Conclusion
Authors: Ollion Étienne 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
A study of a specific political experiment, this book is also a theoretical reflection on this peculiar social arrangement that waiting lines are. The conclusion weaves together the arguments presented in the book. It expounds the function of these waiting lines: queues socialize, they select, and they individualize. Once these three aspects have been presented, the conclusion discusses the prevalence of these social forms in contemporary societies. Far from being limited to politics, they structure a significant share of our daily lives.
Fundamental (Psychological) Human Needs
Authors: Müller Veronika , Gries Thomas 
Published: February 2024

AbstractIn this chapter we focus primarily on fundamental human needs. The consideration of human needs is of utmost importance because they provide a basis for understanding human behavior. If these needs are thwarted—that is, if individuals feel threatened, cannot make autonomous choices, don’t feel to belong to a group, don’t feel approved by their group or society, or feel rejected because of their identity—individuals will search for alternative options for their need reconciliation. While there is a variety of fundamental needs, we identify those that are subject to empirical evidence and that can be addressed by extremist ideologies. We start with describing existential and epistemic needs that can be driven by conditions of existential threat, competition over scarce resources, uncertainty, and ambiguity, which can incite human beings to attain a sense of existential safety, certainty, mastery of circumstances, and control over their own environment.
Corporate Intrapreneurship Breeds Entrepreneurs
Authors: Katz Richard 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
In rich countries, most entrepreneurs are employees who perceive opportunities that their employer either cannot see or else cannot exploit. So, they start their own firm. This is the knowledge-spillover theory of entrepreneurship. A big share of entrepreneurs previously operated as intrapreneurs, those who work independently within their firms to create innovations that might help their employer. In the typical country, including Japan, 60% of intrapreneurs go on to become entrepreneurs. So, another reason Japan has so few entrepreneurs is that it has so few intrapreneurs. In Japan, just 2% of all corporate employees are permitted to lead intrapreneurial projects, less than half the share in other rich countries. Intrapreneurship requires that companies trust their employees enough to give them autonomy. In Japan, however, centralized R&D departments are unwilling to trust those working autonomously. A rare exception is Recruit Holdings. An inordinate share of the new companies on the stock market were founded by former employees of Recruit.
Universities as Entrepreneurial Communities
Authors: Katz Richard 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Universities play a vital role in nurturing entrepreneurs, not just by offering courses, but, equally important, by creating a community of would-be entrepreneurs. Those who personally know entrepreneurs are far more likely to become one. Universities bring students into contact with professors with entrepreneurship experience, as well as other students with similar ambitions. If the still-active companies created by living alumni of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) were a nation, their global revenues would be equal to the GDP of the world’s 11th-largest economy. But it took decades for universities like MIT and Stanford to create the network of courses, entrepreneurship clubs, and professors acting as mentors to create results like this. Japan is trying to emulate this. Entrepreneurship classes are becoming more numerous, and the government is encouraging spinoff firms based on research done at universities. More entrepreneurs are coming out of top universities like Tokyo University, Keio, and Waseda. So far, however, it’s slow going.
