Process Evaluation and Investigation of Cultural Adaptations for an Online Parent-Based Intervention Using a Mixed-Method Approach
No full textAbstract Most alcohol intervention research focuses on program efficacy, yet few studies have investigated the acceptability of a program’s design and implementation to the target population or adapting existing alcohol interventions to different populations. To address these gaps in the literature, we (1) examined participant responsiveness to and implementation quality of FITSTART+, a web-app delivered parent-based alcohol intervention designed for incoming first-year college students in the United States, and (2) gathered feedback on how this intervention could be adapted to other populations of parents. A sample of U.S. parents of 17–20-year-old first-year college students (N=109) participated in FITSTART+during their child’s first year of college and completed a survey about parents’ responsiveness to the app and its quality. Next, a sample of non-U.S. parents of adolescents aged 13 to 19 (N=44) participated in one of 11 focus groups in which they briefly explored the app and then discussed how it could be adapted to be applicable and culturally relevant for them and their context. Results revealed that U.S. parents rated the intervention’s quality as high and parents were responsive to the web-app’s content, but some did not visit one of the most critical aspects of the intervention (i.e., alcohol-related parenting resources). Non-U.S. participants provided a range of suggestions for adapting the intervention to their context, which varied by culture. Results identify areas for improvement, particularly regarding the use of alcohol-related parenting resources, in this intervention and for web-delivered PBIs more broadly

An Evaluation of Cutting-Edge AI Research Tools Using the REACT Framework
Get PDFAs AI continues to revolutionize academic research, librarians must stay informed about the latest AI-powered tools and their potential applications. This article explores a range of cutting-edge AI research tools, evaluating their key features, benefits, and drawbacks using the REACT framework (Relevancy, Ease of Use, Assessing DEIA [diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility], Currency, Transparency & Accuracy). We focus on two categories of tools: citation-based literature mapping tools and text-extraction tools for literature reviews. The citation mapping tools are Litmaps, Connected Papers, and ResearchRabbit, which help researchers discover and visualize related academic literature. The text-extraction tools—Elicit, scite, and Consensus—assist in finding, summarizing, and analyzing relevant papers
Seals and Society: Considerations for Urban Waterway Navigation by Harbor Seals (Phoca vitulina) and Gray Seals (Halichoerus grypus) in New York City
Get PDFAs marine mammals navigate their environment, they may likely encounter areas that are both sparsely and heavily populated with human activity. For the latter, marine mammals are increasingly entering urban populated areas where the marine landscape has been significantly transformed both physically and ecologically. At select locations in New York City (NYC), Harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) and gray seals (Halichoerus grypus) frequent the NYC waterways during the winter months. Due to the public interest in these species, and the growing human population with its consequent development of shared habitats, it is critical that we understand the relationship between humans and these pinnipeds. We therefore stress the importance of understanding the history of NYC ecology relating to these waterways and advocate for the increased study of habitat use by seals, especially in the New York Bight apex (NYBA). Their return to New York City demonstrates survival strategies and adaptations in an urban environment and how they are adapting to dynamic and frequently changing environmental conditions. To date, there has been no published data of seals within the smaller channels of New York City, but our own observations from traveling within these smaller tributaries provide anecdotal evidence for the likelihood that individuals traverse the urban environment for migration and transportation and highlight the need for further research to ensure continued success of these shared habitats in one of the busiest shipping waterways on the eastern seaboard
The Sound of Silence: The Significance of Nurturing Spirituality, Self-Transformation, and Academic Excellence in Augustinian Schools
Get PDFThis article examines silent reflection within the context of Augustinian Catholic schools. Tracing the rich lineage of Augustinian spirituality, it explores how cultivating interiority serves as a transformative practice that fosters spiritual growth, nourishes a deeper understanding of self and others, and compliments academic inquiry. Through a synthesis of theological, educational, and psychological perspectives, this article illuminates the multifaceted benefits of integrating silent reflection into the educational ethos of Catholic schools. Emic descriptions from students, teachers, and leaders provided insights into silent reflection programming designed to enrich the holistic development of students
