Asian American College Students and Civic Engagement
Get PDFThis chapter centers Asian American young adults within a discussion
about civic engagement by highlighting findings from 35
years of data on Asian American college freshmen. It will also address
future directions for Asian American undergraduate student
civic engagement, taking immigration and population trends into account.
Calling attention to Asian American civic engagement within
the college context achieves at least two main goals. First, it will help
scholars, practitioners, and policy makers move beyond racial stereotypes
of this group and consider their complete college experiences, including their involvement outside the classroom. Doing so will
help facilitate efforts to develop curricular and co-curricular practices
that can better serve the learning and development of this fast-growing
population in higher education. Second, examining these patterns
of civic engagement will shed light on how Asian American
students, as part of the future of our nation, are positioned for greater
participation in a democratic U.S. society

Worker Injuries and Safety Equipment in Ohio Nursing Homes
Get PDFA survey of nursing homes was conducted in 2006 to evaluate a number of facility-specific characteristics including worker injury rates. The nursing home worker injury rate was 6.6 per 100 workers with higher injury rates observed in larger facilities, homes that were part of chains and homes with a higher proportion of wheelchair bound residents. A broad range of patient-transfer safety equipment was observed to be in use; however, the presence of these devices were not predictive of lower worker injury rates
Implementation of the 2008 Ohio Nursing Home Family Satisfaction Survey : Final Report
Get PDFIn 2008, the Scripps Gerontology Center conducted the third bi-annual nursing home family satisfaction survey under a contract to the Ohio Department of Aging.
Refinements to the survey instrument showed continued high reliability of domain areas and the instrument as a whole. Changes in instructions to families, and a number of processes were changed this year that resulted in fewer family and facility calls requesting assistance from the toll-free hotline. Comparisons of 2006 and 2008 responses show some significant improvements statewide, with more items showing statewide averages of 90 and above.
The family satisfaction survey is one important component of the comprehensive nursing home information shown on the Ohio Long-Term Care Consumer Guide (www.ltcohio.org)
Race and the Greek system in the 21st Century: Centering the voices of Asian American women.
No full textThis study examines both the presence and absence of Asian Americans in a
sorority system at a predominantly White institution in the Southeastern U.S.
Using critical race theory to analyze interviews with eighteen Asian American
college women, half of whom belonged to sororities and half who did not, the
study asks the following questions: How do Asian American women both inside
and outside Greek life view sororities? Are sororities a site where race still
matters? How do Asian American women recognize the role of race or downplay
its significance in their perceptions of sororities
Taking Race into Account: Charting Student Attitudes towards Affirmative Action
Get PDFThis paper examines student attitudes towards affirmative action over 4 years of college. Asian American and Latino/a students were more likely than White students to disagree strongly or somewhat with abolishing affirmative action after 4 years of college. A studentà ¢ s attitude towards the policy as a first-year student, peer group influence, and political orientation were significant predictors of student attitudes of affirmative action during the fourth year of college. The findings suggest that while college plays some role in shaping affirmative action attitudes, its influence is somewhat limited in comparison to the background traits and attitudes that students bring to college
