Item Student-Athlete and Athletic Trainer: The Mental Health Relationship(2017-05) Sykora, Jessica LEach year, thousands of student-athletes participate in collegiate athletics. Participation in collegiate athletics offers distinguishing advantages, such as apparel, endorsements, social prestige, money and popularity. Despite the privileges, studentathletes are not immune to mental health illnesses and conditions. The unique pressures and demands directly impact the physical, psychological, social, behavioral, and emotional health and well-being of the student-athlete. It is important to understand the barriers, as well as the facilitators, toward mental health help-seeking that have resulted student-athletes being underserved and underrepresented. An essential component to improving the recognition and management of student-athlete mental health is the understanding of the athlete-athletic trainer relationship and the perception of the athletic trainer as a mental health resource.Item Tried and Tweaked: Activities to re-energize peer learning sessions(2014) Lilly, Mary P; Paz, Justin“Tried and Tweaked: Activities to re-energize peer-learning sessions” is a collection of activities designed and conducted by undergraduate students at the University of Minnesota to use in their role as facilitators leading study sessions in the University’s Peer-Assisted Learning (PAL) Program. The activities were developed and tested during their weekly sessions and focus on two particular guiding principles of the PAL program (there are eight): modeling productive learning behaviors, and engaging students with each other. Each activity offers suggestions for preparation, supplies needed, appropriate courses, and the type of student grouping used in the activity. The spirit in which these session activities are designed is one of creating an informal, social, and welcoming environment. This is a companion volume to the Guide for Peer Learning Facilitators, which details all eight principles.Item What are the barriers and facilitators of on-time measles vaccination in Uganda?(2021-05) Griffith, BridgetMeasles is a highly contagious, vaccine-preventable disease, and on-time vaccination is essential for achieving the full benefit of measles-containing vaccines. In recent years, Uganda has experienced measles outbreaks in both urban and rural areas. Investigating the prevalence of and risk factors associated with delayed measles vaccination is an important step toward addressing vaccination barriers and improving on-time measles vaccination coverage. This dissertation characterizes factors associated with on-time measles vaccination in Uganda, defined as vaccination at nine months of age.For manuscript 1 and 2, we conducted a population-based, door-to-door survey of 999 mothers living in Kampala, Uganda. The survey included questions on mothers’ use of their child’s vaccination document, experience seeking vaccination for their child, and the child’s date of measles vaccination. In manuscript 1, we characterized mothers’ retention and use of their child’s vaccination document and evaluated the association between use of the document and achieving on-time measles vaccination for their child. In manuscript 2, we described and characterized potential transportation-related barriers to vaccination and evaluated the association between these barriers and mothers’ ability to achieve on-time measles vaccination for their child. Lastly, for manuscript 3, we used data from the 2016 Uganda Demographic and Health Survey to assess the relationship between mothers’ perceived barriers to healthcare and their ability to achieve on-time measles vaccination for their child. This was evaluated overall, and by urban/rural status. Demographic factors of the mother and child and certain barriers to healthcare were associated with failure to achieve on-time measles vaccination. Overall, our findings contribute to the understanding of the specific factors that influence on-time measles vaccination in this setting. This informs the design of interventions to improve the timing of childhood vaccinations in the future.
