Urban-Rural Divide in Inequality’s Impact on Substance Abuse
Full text linkThis thesis focuses on investigating the relationship between income inequality, measured through the Gini coefficient, and drug addiction, proxied through substance-related mortality. Specifically, this thesis focuses on how these dynamics vary across rural and urban counties in the United States, using population size as a proxy. County-level data from 2016 to 2020 were collected through both the CDC and the Census Bureau and subsequently analyzed using Stata, with crude death rates from drug and alcohol causes serving as a function of the Gini coefficient, labor force participation, racial composition, and other socioeconomic indicators. Through a quadratic version of the model, a U-shaped relationship between income inequality and drug-related deaths was revealed, suggesting that both extremely equal and highly unequal counties face elevated risk (albeit for different structural reasons). Labor force participation also exhibited a nonlinear but predominantly negative association, with some evidence of an income effect at higher participation levels. Counties with higher populations of white individuals were also a significant predictor of drug mortality, aligning with the literature on “deaths of despair” in America. There were some different patterns between drug crude rates and alcohol crude rates. Ultimately, these findings express that interventions (especially economic ones) must take a nuanced approach to addressing substance abuse at the county level
Intergenerational Knowledge Hiding in the Workplace: The Moderating Role of Identity Salience and Ethical Leadership
No full textThis dissertation explores how generations influence knowledge-hiding (KH) behaviors in the workplace, with identity salience and ethical leadership examined as potential moderators. Drawing from social identity theory and social learning theory, I hypothesized that generational identities, shaped by ingroup favoritism and outgroup bias, would drive KH behaviors across generations. Identity salience was expected to amplify KH tendencies, while supervisory ethical leadership was proposed to mitigate KH behaviors through moral role modeling. Survey data from 463 Baby Boomers, Gen X, and Gen Y employees working in knowledge-intensive U.S. industries were analyzed using hierarchical regressions. Results indicate that generation (operationalized as age) significantly predicted evasive hiding and playing dumb behaviors, but not rationalized hiding, and not in the directions hypothesized. Additionally, employees did not engage in more KH when interacting with younger or older generations. Neither identity salience nor ethical leadership moderated the generation-KH relationship. Effect sizes were small, limiting the practical relevance of findings. Taken together, these results suggest that meaningful generational differences in employees’ KH behaviors may not exist. Contributions, limitations, and future directions for research are discussed
Understanding, Supporting and Skillfully Interfacing with Unhoused Individuals: Strategies for Non-Mental Health Workers Engaging with Unhoused Communities
No full textThis paper explores the urgent need for trauma-informed, empathetic engagement strategies and vicarious trauma prevention approaches among non-mental health professionals who frequently interact with unhoused individuals. Homelessness is often publicly framed as an individual failure, reinforced by persistent myths that unhoused individuals are lazy and dangerous. This paper highlights homelessness\u27s systemic roots in colonialism, racialized poverty, housing policy, and long-term social neglect. The paper speaks to the intersecting nature of trauma, mental illness, and substance use within homeless populations, emphasizing their bi-directional relationship. It further examines how stigma and dehumanization negatively impact public perception, informing harmful policies, reinforcing barriers to care, and fueling unsafe or ineffective frontline interactions. Non-clinicians—such as librarians, public transit workers, and business employees—are increasingly required to navigate these complex dynamics without adequate training or support, resulting in an elevated risk of burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma. This paper synthesizes relevant literature to develop a psychoeducational brochure designed to equip non-clinical workers with practical tools for de-escalation, emotional regulation, and vicarious trauma prevention. The goal of this project is to promote sustainable and compassionate engagement with unhoused individuals that prioritizes their humanity while protecting the well-being of those interacting with them. While not a solution to homelessness, the hope is that this resource contributes to harm reduction by promoting safer and more humane community responses
