[NCACC Keynote] Innovation, Fidelity & Pragmatism in Overdose Response
This keynote talk covers 3 defining characteristics of the public health opioid overdose response in North Carolina:
Innovation
Fidelity
Pragmatism
Innovtion describes the 2-decade history of adapting interventions to local context, and creating new ones based out of our experience in NC.
Fidelity is staying true to the scientific evidence and the people we serve.
Pragmatism is a synthesis of how these concepts come together at Remedy Alliance For The People.
In closing we review current trends in overdose deaths in the United States
Longitudinal associations between math self‐concept and math Black–White stereotypes among Black adolescents
In the United States, Black youth are negatively stereotyped in math ability and are comparatively behind their White and Asian peers on many indicators of math success. Because perceptions of social groups are linked to self-perceptions, Black youths' endorsement of Black-White math stereotypes might be bidirectionally related to their perceptions of their own math abilities. Drawing from a sample of 563 Black youth (250 boys; 313 girls), we used latent growth curve modeling to examine longitudinal change in youths' math self-concept from Grade 5 to Grades 7, 10, and 12, and tested the potential moderating role of youths' gender in developmental change. To advance understanding of developmental connections between students' self-concept and their racialized social group beliefs, we also examined associations between youths' math self-concept and their math Black-White stereotype endorsement. Results showed declines in math self-concept from Grades 5 to 7 to 12, with no gender differences in change across time. In Grade 7, higher math self-concept was associated with lower math stereotype endorsement. Further, a higher math self-concept in Grade 7 predicted steeper declines in stereotype endorsement through high school, and higher Grade 7 stereotype endorsement predicted steeper declines in subsequent math self-concept. Results are discussed in relation to support for improving math self-concept and reducing harmful math stereotype beliefs among Black youth
Contextual Heterosexism Database: Phase 2
This contextual database, Contextual Heterosexism Database - Phase 2 (CHD2), further expands the collection of contextual data available to users of The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) through the provision of state level measures from the Harvard Implicit Associations Test (IAT) database and city-level measures from the Human Rights Campaign’s (HRC) Municipal Equality Index. These measures correspond to Waves 4 and 5 of Add Health
Decline processes in technological innovation systems: Lessons from energy technologies
Technology decline is gaining attention in sustainability transitions because it can accelerate the adoption of sustainable alternatives and mitigate the lingering impacts of polluting technologies. However, a systematic analysis of the processes driving the decline of established technologies remains absent. This paper addresses this gap by introducing the concept of “decline functions,” inspired by the functional analysis of technological innovation systems (TIS). While traditional TIS functions make emerging systems thrive, decline functions contribute to the unravelling of faltering systems. Four decline functions are suggested: delegitimation, guidance toward exit, market decline, and resource demobilization. These functions are applied to four energy-technology cases: incandescent light bulbs, oil-based heating, nuclear power and internal combustion engine cars. Data were collected through a directed literature review. Our analysis reveals that all four decline functions were present and played important roles across the cases. These functions offer a systematic framework for analyzing and comparing cases of declining TIS and can provide actionable insights for policymakers to accelerate sustainability transitions
