An Analysis of Georgia Schools’ Compliance and Implementation of Federally Mandated School Wellness Policies
Creators: name: Marchiolo, Eryn
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2008

description: Our nation’s youth face health challenges today that are drastically different from the health problems of youth in generations past. The drastic rise in childhood obesity rates prompted the 108th Congress to look for an innovative solution to the problem, mandating that each school district receiving federal funding for Free and Reduced Lunch must create and adopt a local wellness policy. This study examines whether relationships exist between Georgia’s school districts’ wellness policies and specific demographic characteristics of the district. Dependent variables include compliance, phase of implementation, and presence of a school health council. This study conducted univariate analysis using chi square and odds ratio coupled with binary logistic regression. Analysis shows that percent of minority students, as an independent variable, is significantly associated with compliance with the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act.

description: Genus Metaprotella Mayer, 1890
  Diagnosis.  — Head fused (suture present or vestigial as slight concaved area) with pereonite 1. Antenna 1 well developed; flagellum with more than 2 articles. Antenna 2 well developed; flagellum with 2 articles. Mandible well developed; molar present, well developed; palp 3-articulate, setal formula 1-x-y-1 or 1-x-1. Maxilliped well developed; inner plate (basal endite) smaller than outer plate (ischial endite); outer plate (ischial endite) well developed; palp article 3 with distal projection; palp article 4 well developed. Pereonite 4 clavate appendage absent. Pereonites 6 and 7 completely fused (dorsal suture absent). Pereopod 3 vestigial, with 1 article. Pereopod 4 vestigial, with 1 article. Pereopod 5 well developed, with 7 articles, with sparse, short setae and well-developed dactylus. Pereopods 6 and 7 well developed, with 7 articles. Gills on pereonites 3 and 4. Pleopods absent. Uropods 2 pairs; biarticulate, uniramous and vestigial (unclear). Telson (dorsal lobe) present.
  Type species.  — Protella haswelliana Mayer, 1882, by monotypy
  Remarks.  — The generic diagnosis of the Metaprotella was recently defined by Takeuchi & Lowry (2007) based on newly collected material of M. haswelliana (Mayer, 1882), the type species of Metaprotella from Albany, Western Australia. Unlike M. haswelliana (Mayer, 1882) which has a clear suture between the head and pereonite 1, Metaprotella sandalensis Mayer, 1898 has a more vestigial suture, recognised by a slight concave area (see Fig. 1). Thus, the generic diagnosis of Metaprotella in this paper is revised in order to include this variation.

Managing research data: integrating research practice with reporting and administrative workflows
Creators: name: Frances, M
Publisher: name: UNSW Sydney
Year: 2016

description: In the UK and US, many funding bodies require applications for research funding to include a data management plan (DMP). To assist researchers with writing these plans, services such as DMPonline and DMPTool provide a range of online templates that are customised according to requirements of particular funding bodies. While research funding bodies in Australia do not generally require a formal DMP in funding applications, creation of a DMP is, at some academic institutions, a condition for access to research infrastructure such as archival storage for data. A related expectation, from funders and some academic publishers, is that metadata and data associated with publications are documented and made accessible to other researchers, or to industry and community groups. These trends reflect the growing recognition that research data are valuable research outputs and an important component of scientific and scholarly communication. The paper raises questions about the impact of these drivers for documenting and managing metadata and data on the actual practice of research. Is there a risk that tools and procedures that are designed to help researchers acquire funding, publication or access to research infrastructure will compromise the integrity of metadata or limit possibilities for re-use of data? Publication of data with minimal metadata, in order to fulfil requirements of funders or publishers, may aid discovery of the data without adequately supporting its re-use – or may lead to subsequent research findings based on incomplete or inaccurate contextual metadata. These risks can be minimised if tools and procedures for managing and publishing data are embedded in research workflows as well as administrative and reporting processes. It is important that infrastructure for data-related planning, managing and reporting interoperates with standards for disciplinary metadata and protocols for research practice.

A Geographic Information System (GIS) Analysis of Cancer Clinical Trial Locations in the State of Georgia by Major Cancer Type
Creators: name: Parker, Shaunta
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2008

description: Improving cancer care through clinical research is a major public health issue. However, in Georgia, the exact number of cancer clinical trials is unknown, indicating the need for baseline data regarding cancer clinical trial locations and cancer burden. This study provides the first statewide analysis of cancer clinical trial locations using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). This study examines cancer clinical trial locations by county, according to incidence rates, racial patterns and mortality rates of the four major cancer types: breast, colorectal, lung, and prostate. Findings from this study suggest that metro-Atlanta counties have higher densities of cancer clinical trials. This study also found that there were little or no cancer clinical trials available in counties with the highest rates of overall incidence, African American incidence and overall mortality. This research demonstrates the need to increase availability of cancer clinical trials in counties with the highest cancer burden.

Comparing the Serum Levels of Polychlorinated Biphenyl Compounds between the Residents of Calcasieu Parish and Lafayette Parish, Louisiana
Creators: name: Hurtz, III, Donald
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: In 2001, a population-based cross-sectional study was conducted to compare levels of total polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in residents of Calcasieu Parish and Lafayette Parish, Louisiana. A demographic, lifestyle, and food consumption questionnaire was collected for each participant.   Overall, weighted geometric means and medians of total serum PCB concentrations in residents of Calcasieu and Lafayette Parishes were similar among all risk subgroups. However, 15-29 year olds had higher total serum PCB weighted geometric means in Calcasieu (64.4 ppb) than did this age group in Lafayette (46.6 ppb) (p=0.0059);  conversely, in the 60 and older age group, geometric means of 293.7 ppb and 392.5 ppb were observed for Calcasieu and Lafayette, respectively (p=0.0059). In general, total PCB serum levels in Calcasieu and in Lafayette Parish, Louisiana residents were similar to each other and to levels observed in the U.S. general population in this time period.

An Overview of Progress towards RBM Objectives and MDGs Concerning Malaria in the Americas:  A Comparative Analysis of Data from the Years 2000 and 2005
Creators: name: Ahmad, Sardar
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: This study analyzed the malaria situation in 21 malaria endemic countries in the region of the Americas to assess progress towards achieving Roll Back Malaria objectives (RBM) and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The study analyzed data from the years 2000 and 2005, which also highlighted various interventions that were underway to improve the malaria situation in the region during this period. Data from the year 2000 were used as a baseline both for RBM objectives as well as for MDGs. Findings of the study indicated the region of the Americas has made progress toward reducing the burden of malaria as a public health burden and this itself is a reflection of progress towards achieving the two global targets. Outcomes of the study also revealed some programmatic strength that might help the region to embark on a more comprehensive, interdisciplinary malaria elimination strategy in the majority of the region’s countries.
Understanding Program Start-Up: Two Cases from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Colorectal Cancer Screening Demonstration Program
Creators: name: Boehm, Jennifer
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: Colorectal cancer poses a serious threat to the health and well-being of individuals, especially those at high risk or over the age of 50. Gone undetected, colorectal cancer is often fatal, however, preventive screening greatly reduces the number of people who may develop this disease. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention developed the Colorectal Cancer Screening Demonstration Program in 2005 to assess the feasibility of a national colorectal cancer screening program serving low-income and un- or underinsured populations.  Qualitative case study data from the Colorectal Cancer Screening Demonstration Program evaluation were analyzed in order to examine the start-up experiences of two of the programs involved. Results from this multiple case study document program models and describe facilitators, challenges, and participant perception of the expected impact on screening behavior.  Further research on program implementation is needed to understand how program models perform and impact behavior once screening begins.
Prevention of Adolescent Interpersonal Violence Victimization: The Role of Sports Participation
Creators: name: Hunter, Kareema
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: Youth violence is a major public health problem for US adolescents.  Sports participation has been shown to decrease the likelihood of certain forms of youth violence, such as suicide. Using a national representative sample, the study seeks to determine the association of dating and sexual abuse victimization with sports participation.  Analyses of data from the 2005 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) suggest that sports participation is significantly associated with an increased likelihood of male dating abuse victimization. There was no significant association between sexual abuse victimization and sports participation for girls nor boys.  These findings underscore the importance of evaluating contextual aspects of sports education and team dynamics that may have violence prevention potential.  Primary recommendations include further research on the feasibility of disseminating youth violence prevention messaging via school and community sports, training for coaches, and rigorous evaluation of adolescent sports programs.

The Effects of HealthMPowers on the Levels of Physical Activity among Students in 13 Georgia Public Schools
Creators: name: Arlotta, Dawn
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: Objectives. This study evaluated a school based health and physical education program conducted in nine elementary and four middle schools in seven Metro-Atlanta school districts in Georgia. HealthMPowers served 5,644 students last year and approximately 15,000 students over the 3 year intervention.
Methods. Quantitative programmatic data were collected by HealthMPowers before the intervention started (pre, 2004) and again three years later (post, 2007). HealthMPowers worked with these schools for the entire three year period and collected post Program Design and post-intervention fitness data in spring 2007.
Results. The nine participating elementary schools each demonstrated an increase in student fitness levels for the fourth and fifth grades.  The four middle schools demonstrated an increase in student fitness levels in at least one grade, which varied by school.
Conclusion.  Our findings suggested school programs can be effective in increasing physical activity and fitness scores and supports broader implementation of known successful programs.

Modelling spatial-temporal rainfall and its hydrological impact in a changing climate
Creators: name: Chen, Yuting
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Quantifying changes in future precipitation and uncertainty remains a challenge. Hydrological impacts of the changes are not fully understood either. These concerns form the research aim, which is to understand changes in the spatial-temporal structure of rainfall in a future climate so as to investigate its hydrological impact, especially in the context of catchment floods. To achieve this aim, high-resolution future precipitation is generated through a rainfall simulation tool developed in this thesis, and the hydrological impact of rainfall changes on an urban catchment is then assessed. The first part of the thesis focuses on selecting the suitable stochastic structure used in the simulation tool. Two spatial-temporal stochastic generators are compared, not only in terms of rainfall statistics but also of their behaviour in yielding a realistic catchment runoff. The second part concerns the evaluation of a 12-member 20-year-long convectionpermitting ensemble of hourly precipitation for the British Isles, for both the current and future climates. The extensive evaluation for the current period demonstrates its added value in impact studies and its potential use for downscaling purposes. The investigation for the future climate scenario reveals future rainfall changes in more detail, in particular for high-impact events. Building upon the identification of a realistic rainfall generator and the examination of climate model ability to simulate realistic precipitation, the third part focuses on developing a simulation tool which can well combine both sources of information. This tool is designed to provide rainfall information with a resolution suitable for urban climate impact studies. After the calibration, an extensive validation is carried out and the performance of the simulation tool for both current and future periods is evaluated. The final part uses this simulation tool to assess the impact of rainfall changes upon the estimated future urban flood risk. Three simplifications of the rainfall input, which are usually made in engineering applications, are selected here. The effects of each simplification on the accuracy of the estimated sewer flood risk are quantified. Results highlight the estimation bias in the current risk assessment approach caused by these simplifications, and also provides valuable information for decision makers in terms of effectively reducing potential errors in sewer network designs caused by the rainfall input.
Youth Risk Behaviors and an Assessment of ASK US in Metro Atlanta High Schools

Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: Background: HIV is increasingly prevalent among youth in the US. Objective: To assess the impact of HIV/AIDS education on health-risk behaviors associated with HIV infection in the state of Georgia.

Methods: Descriptive analyses of the 2005 Georgia Student Health Survey were conducted by cross-tabulating the presence of HIV/AIDS education and each of the health-risk behaviors of interest. In addition, a survey with a sample of metro Atlanta health educators that assessed ASK US was conducted and analyzed.

Results: The percentage of Georgia high school students that had ever been taught about AIDS or HIV infection in school was 91.8% (n = 1,547).The only self-reported risk factor that appeared to have a relationship with HIV/AIDS education was binge drinking (p = 0.0060). Results of the health educator survey demonstrated that ASK US is a good HIV/AIDS education tool.

Conclusions: Although HIV/AIDS education is widespread, the prevalence of various health-risk behaviors remain high and, therefore, different models of HIV/AIDS education may be called for.

Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: The association of subscapular and triceps skin-fold thickness with the risk of Diabetes in African American, Hispanic, and Caucasian Adults (Under the direction of IKE S. OKOSUN, Ph.D.)   Background: Studies linking adiposity with chronic morbidity are often restricted to obesity defined by body mass index and/or waist circumference. Few studies have examined the relationship between adiposity defined using body habitus and chronic diseases.   Objective: We examined the potential association of subscapular and triceps skin-fold thickness with the risk of diabetes in African American, Caucasian, and Hispanic American adults.  Methods: Data (n=4,808) from The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed on each anthropometric measure. Statistical adjustments were made for several known covariates.   Results: There were racial/ethnic differences in associations between subscapular and triceps skinfold thickness with type 2 diabetes.   Conclusion: Skinfold thickness was associated with type 2 diabetes in White, Black and Hispanic Americans. Well designed public health strategies to enhance lifestyle modification programs to reduce weight gain may reduce aberrant fat distribution in these body regions and decreases in type 2 diabetes.
Comparing the Characteristics of Adolescent Smoking in Politically Stable and Unstable Countries
Creators: name: Waajid, Malikah
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: Background: As the number of smokers in industrialized nations declines the number of smokers in developing countries increases. Many of the nations that are experiencing an increase in smoking prevalence are poor, politically unstable countries. The smoking rates among adolescents are increasing at an especially alarming rate. The tumultuous sociopolitical conditions such as civil unrest, the overthrowing of government regimes and the presence of political violence makes adolescents in these environments susceptible to engagement in high risk behavior such as smoking as a means of self- medicating the symptoms of mental disorder or unhealthy coping mechanisms. The purpose of this study was to analyze the difference in smoking behaviors and beliefs among adolescents in politically unstable countries compared to those in more stable areas. 
Methods: The West Bank, Gaza Strip, Yemen, Iraq, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar and Kuwait were selected for inclusion in the study based on their World Bank Indicators. Stable countries were defined by their ranking in the 50th percentile or higher on the Political Stability and Absence of Violence Index, whereas unstable countries were defined as being in the 10th percentile or lower. Using secondary data from the 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) for eight countries, univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to assess the factors associated with smoking behaviors. Cases were truncated for 13- 15 year old respondents. A p- value of < .05 and 95% confidence intervals was used to determine statistical significance through the various analyses performed. 
Results: The univariate and multivariate analysis found that living in an unstable country and being male was associated with increased odds of smoking and experimentation among 13- 15 year old adolescents.
 Conclusion: The study results suggest that political stability may be associated with smoking behaviors and beliefs among adolescents. Since the factors that create political instability are multi-factorial and beyond the scope of this study, interventions should be designed to address smoking and other risk behaviors within this unique sociopolitical context. Previous interventions in similar settings have found programs integrating mental health dimension and religious leaders have been successful in staving off the onset of smoking among study populations.

Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Policy in the U.S.
Creators: name: Jarrell, Jennifer
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: HPV vaccine school entry mandates and vaccine funding by state was examined using the Diffusion of Innovations (DOI) theory.  The DOI was applied to HPV immunization policy to evaluate the rate of vaccine adoption and to determine whether associations existed between an empirical need for vaccine adoption and action by the states. State-level data on political characteristics, health and policy were collected from several secondary sources. Data analyses were performed utilizing SPSS logistic regression models. Odds rations were used to evaluate the associations between the independent and dependent variables to determine whether there was a statistical significance level of .05. Cervical Cancer incidence in a state was significantly associated with HPV school entry mandates (proposed or enacted), but it did not show a significant association with HPV vaccine funding. Diffusion of vaccine innovation is slow, which may offer additional opportunities to evaluate effective policy strategies for coverage and use of the HPV vaccine.

Adolescent Knowledge, Attitudes, and Beliefs toward Vaccination
Creators: name: Noggle, Richard
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: Vaccination, one of public health’s greatest disease prevention tools, is broadening to focus on adolescents. Now that there are more vaccines targeted specifically for adolescents, it is time to give more focus to vaccine delivery in this population. This research will increase the knowledge base to support informed changes in adolescent vaccine delivery by identifying knowledge and attitudes of adolescents toward vaccination within the context of barriers and solutions. Perceived susceptibility to disease, benefits and barriers to vaccination and other constructs were collected through a survey to 1368 high school students. In this population, a scheduled adolescent healthcare visit is feasible, vaccine education can diminishes health misconceptions, and vaccination mandates are ways to reach some students.

Drug Use and Risk Behavior Patterns for HIV in Men Who Have Sex with Men
Creators: name: Chakragiri, Arathi
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2008

description: Men who have sex with men (MSM) account for a majority of all men currently diagnosed with AIDS. MSM is also recognized as the largest risk category of all AIDS cases. Drug use has been shown to have a synergistic effect on the prevalence of HIV in the MSM population. The study aimed to examine the association between injection drug use, non-injection drug use, and non-drug use with sexual risk behaviors for HIV in men who have sex with men.  Secondary, cross-sectional data procured from the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System for the Atlanta Metropolitan Survey Area were used for the study. The study population was 960 participants. Using binary logistic regression analyses, the drug use categories were studied for unprotected intercourse, unprotected receptive anal intercourse and HIV status. Strong associations were seen independently for unprotected intercourse, unprotected receptive anal intercourse, and HIV status with injection and non injection drug use, but the association weakened for drug use categories when controlled for other independent factors. Taking into account current findings and findings from previous research, the importance of clinical significance over statistical significance was considered. Racial disparities were evident, in that, although the Black participants showed no increased odds for sexual risk factors or drug use, it had a higher odds for being HIV positive compared to Whites. Combining Viagra/Levitra with drugs was significantly associated with unprotected intercourse (AOR=1.9), and each individual drug showed a different degree of association with Viagra/Levitra. Further research is recommended to identify sub-populations at risk and appropriately allocate resources and channel programs and interventions.

Creators: name: O'Meara, Sandra
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2008

description: Background: This study analyzes local wellness policies of 176 Georgia public school systems. The purpose of the study was to analyze potential relationships between demographic characteristics of Georgia school systems and compliance with the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004, as well as the strength of wellness policy goals in the areas of nutrition, physical activity, and other school-based activities.

Methods: Demographic data from the Georgia Department of Education were used as independent variables. Compliance ratings and the strength of wellness policy goals were derived from an evaluation tool developed by a research team at Georgia State University’s Institute of Public Health as part of a project contracted by the Georgia Department of Education. Analysis was conducted using Pearson’s correlation (two-tailed), crosstabulation, and linear regression.

Results: Statistically significant positive associations were found between academic performance and strength of overall wellness policy goals (p < .05), as well as goals in the areas of nutrition education and other school-based activities (p < .01). Economic status of the student population was found to be positively associated with the strength of nutrition education goals (p < .05). No statistically significant associations were identified between demographic characteristics of school systems and physical activity goals. No associations were identified between involving community stakeholders in wellness policy development and having more comprehensive wellness policy goals.

Conclusions: This study found statistically significant evidence of districts with stronger academic performance having more comprehensive overall wellness policy goals and stronger goals specifically in the areas of nutrition education and other school-based activities goals. Findings should assist the Georgia Department of Education in allocating its limited resources to help school systems improve wellness in public schools throughout Georgia. Recommendations are made to strengthen federal and state policy regarding school wellness, to conduct more research regarding the influence of community involvement on school wellness, and to provide guidance to local school systems having less resources and lower student academic performance in order to ensure health disparities are not further exacerbated.

Investigating Potential Risk Factors of Childhood Asthma Re-Hospitalizations in DeKalb County, Georgia
Creators: name: Colvin, Renyea
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2008

description: Asthma is a leading cause of hospitalizations among children in the United States. It accounts for millions of dollars in hospital charges at the national, state, and county levels.  The prevention of these hospitalizations is an important public health issue given the financial costs of hospitalizations in an already overburdened healthcare system.  This study addresses sociodemographic factors associated with hospitalizations for childhood asthma among children who reside in DeKalb County, Georgia.  Results highlight the unequal burden of asthma in the southern portion of the county.  Additional analysis suggests that changes to existing institution-level surveillance systems can be made to improve upon the quality of data available to researchers.  This research calls for a state-wide asthma surveillance system that routinely collects information on the most common indicators of disease burden, thereby improving the ability of public health professionals to accurately determine and manage the needs of children with asthma.

Hispanic Migrants and Cross-border Disease Control of Arizona's Vaccine Preventable Diseases
Creators: name: Chocho, Karen
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2008

description: BACKGROUND: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Immunization Program, there is an increase in the re-emergence of past diseases. Even with mandatory vaccination practices in the United States, there are still a number of cases of vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) reported yearly. It is speculated that the re-emergence of VPDs is in part due to the increase in international travel as well as the influx of immigrants. One particular group of interest includes the Hispanic migrants coming from Central and South America where some of these diseases are endemic. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this paper is to determine the extent of VPD cases in the border state of Arizona that may be attributed to Hispanic migrant influx using data from the MMWR: Summary of Notifiable Diseases reports for the United States and the ADHS data from all Arizona counties. RESULTS: Since 1995, rates of hepatitis B and pertussis have been increasing in Arizona and have become higher for non-Hispanics than Hispanics. In 2005, hepatitis B rates were 1.53* for the United States and 7.31* for Arizona; pertussis rates were 8.72* for the United States and 21.60* for Arizona. CONCLUSION: The results of this study's analysis show the need to improve immunization efforts within the non-Hispanic populations in all Arizona counties. (*Per 100,000 population)
Examining Facilities with Multiple Violations to Assess the Consent Order Process as a Compliance Tool to Protect Environmental Quality and Public Health in the State of Georgia
Creators: name: Austin, Kimberly
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2008

description: Consent orders are issued by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (GA EPD).  Consent orders require facilities to comply with environmental rules and regulations.  The effectiveness of the consent order process has recently been questioned.  Several facilities were cited with multiple consent orders, suggesting possible implementation weaknesses, i.e., monitoring and enforcement.  There is a need to examine trends among facilities issued multiple consent orders and the content of those consent orders.  Such an analysis can help determine the efficacy of the process as a tool of compliance and recommendations to improve it.  The present assessment covered a span of fourteen years, 1993-2006.  The data analysis reflected the strengths and limitations of this enforcement tool as well as the existing resources and powers of the state agencies.
Understanding the HIV Risk Behaviors in Haiti:A Rural-Urban Comparison
Creators: name: Emilien, Regine
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2008

description: Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the extent and potential correlates of sexual risk taking behaviors related to condom use and number of sexual partners among Haitians aged 15 to 49 years old living in the urban and rural areas.

Methods: Data were obtained from the 2005-2006 cross-sectional survey conducted by the Demographic Health survey. Our study population (15143) was analyzed based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) theory using a bivariate and multiple logistic regression analysis with SPSS for windows.

	Results: In both rural and urban areas dwellers had an accurate knowledge of the disease. However, a small proportion in both areas used condoms during their last sexual intercourse. Perceiving the disease's severity was more likely associated with condom use in the urban (OR 1.36, p ? .01) and in the rural areas (OR 1.45, p ?.05). Strong associations have been found between some variables of the HBM and condom use but none have been found associated with zero or one sex partner. Findings were similar in both areas

Conclusion: Holistic approach should be considered in the prevention strategy conducted in Haiti to tackle other factors that may contribute in delaying responsible sexual behavior in that country.
An Assessment of Atlanta Area Emergency Operations Plans for Emergency Relief Services Utilized by Senior Citizens
Creators: name: Richardson, Carline
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2008

description: The emergency response readiness of the public health and emergency management systems have become increasingly important topics for research, development and action in the United States. Senior citizens represent a large and growing population group in the United States. Older persons are likely to be disproportionately vulnerable during disasters because they are more likely to have chronic illnesses, functional limitations, and sensory, physical and cognitive disabilities than those of younger ages. Elderly health and safety have become the responsibility of the elderly themselves, of the community in which they live, and the various agencies and organizations charged with preparedness planning.

The goal of this study was to assess the emergency operations plans (EOPs) of emergency relief agencies and organizations in the Atlanta area for the provision of emergency relief services utilized by senior citizens as a special needs population. The research and analysis performed was completed in two steps: a review of collected disaster and emergency operations plans (EOPs) and standard operating procedures (SOPs), and a qualitative analysis of a survey submitted to the agencies.

Although many EOPs and SOPs referred to emergency relief services for special needs populations, the plans were not functional and did not fully outline the ‘who, what, when, where and how” to provide disaster relief services. Public health agencies must endeavor to better address the disaster related needs of elderly persons who have physical disabilities, special medical needs and communication disabilities. Disaster preparedness plans must ensure the availability of all items necessary to control and prevent complications related to chronic diseases, prevent acute events and promote functionality and independence.
