How to Use the Water Quality Database
No full textDocument giving an overview on how to use the Water Quality Database created by The Fernald Community Health Effects Committee, Inc. (F-CHEC) and the University of Cincinnati Environmental Health Foundation (UEHF). The database was part of the research aimed at identifying and reviewing existing information on contaminants of water in wells and cisterns within the five-mile exposure domain of the former Fernald Uranium Processing Plant.
This research was completed money allocated during Round 4 of the Citizens’ Monitoring and Technical Assessment Fund (MTA Fund). Clark University was named conservator of these works.

Well Database Overview
No full textThe Fernald Community Health Effects Committee, Inc. (F-CHEC) partnered with the University of Cincinnati Environmental Health Foundation (UEHF) to conduct research aimed at identifying and reviewing existing information on contaminants of water in wells and cisterns in the five-mile exposure domain of the former Fernald uranium processing plant. The F-CHEC and UEHF partnership is hereinafter called the Research Team.
The Research Team determined that the existent information on well use in the five-mile exposure domain did not include either the number or the locations of offsite water wells within the exposure domain. Therefore, it was apparent that this project should include a database of offsite water wells within the five-mile exposure domain.
This research was completed money allocated during Round 4 of the Citizens’ Monitoring and Technical Assessment Fund (MTA Fund). Clark University was named conservator of these works.

Well Database Appendix
No full textAppendix for the Well Database created by The Research Team (consisting of The Fernald Community Health Effects Committee, Inc. (F-CHEC) and the University of Cincinnati Environmental Health Foundation (UEHF)) to determine the location of each well within the five-mile exposure domain surrounding the former Fernald Uranium Processing Plant. The townships of interest were Fairfield, Morgan and Ross Townships in Butler County and Colerain, Crosby, Harrison and Whitewater Townships in Hamilton County.

Public health: community learning disability nurses' perception and experience of their roles - an exploratory sequential multiple methods study
No full textPURPOSE
Research into how public health policy is translated into role specifications within job descriptions of community learning disability nurses is important. In addition, the need for research that focuses on describing how community learning disability nurses perceive, and enact their public health roles has been identified. Furthermore, there is need to explain the 'moderators' of how community learning disability nurses enact their public health roles.
METHODS
This was a 3-stage exploratory sequential multiple methods study. Stage 1 was documentary, and involved collecting and analysing community learning disability nurses' job descriptions, and or person specifications. Stage 2 was descriptive, and used a grounded theory approach. Stage 3 was explanatory, and involved an on-line questionnaire survey.
MAIN FINDINGS
There were inconsistencies in public role health expectations in community learning disability nurses' job descriptions and person specifications. The public health roles were academic, health education, health prevention, health promotion, health protection, health surveillance, healthcare access facilitation, healthcare delivery, leadership, and policy development and implementation. The moderators of public health role enactment by community nurses identified in this study were complex and extended beyond current explanations of role theory. Some of the correlates of the moderators of public role health enactment by community learning disability nurses included role clarity in job descriptions, periodic review of role expectations, role perception, perceived role value, community learning disability nurses' perceptions of employing organisations' priorities, and community learning disability nurses' perceptions of employing organisations' knowledge of the public health needs of people with learning disabilities, band, and finally the type of employer.
SIGNIFICANCE FOR RESEARCH AND PRACTICE
There is a need for clarity of community learning disability nurses' public health roles locally, and nationally. It is important that relevant organisations have structures that can respond appropriately to public health policy changes in order to meet the often complex and co-morbid health needs of people with learning disabilities
