    Get PDF
    One in four women will experience domestic violence in their lifetimes. Each year, 5.3 million domestic violence assaults occur in the United States alone and domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women. Yet, despite the prevalence of domestic violence, little empirical research on the justice system\u27s response to it exists. This paper seeks to describe a state funded project that was created to assess and compare responses to domestic violence throughout the state of Missouri. The project lasted for three years and was conducted by an interdisciplinary team of University of Missouri-Columbia (MU) professors and students

    I. Best Estimated Trajectory (BET) objective: a) Produce reconstructed trajectory of the PA-1 flight to understand vehicle dynamics and aid other post flight analyses. b) Leverage all measurement sources taken of vehicle during flight to produce the most accurate estimate of vehicle trajectory. c) Generate trajectory reconstructions of the Crew Module (CM), Launch Abort System (LAS), and Forward Bay Cover (FBC). II. BET analysis was started immediately following the PA-1 mission and was completed in September, 2010 a) Quick look version of BET released 5/25/2010: initial repackaging of SIGI data. b) Preliminary version of BET released 7/6/2010: first blended solution using available sources of external measurements. c) Final version of BET released 9/1/2010: final blended solution using all available sources of data

    The intersection of diversity, equity, and inclusion with pediatric Patient and Family Advisory Councils

    Patient and family advisory councils (PFACs) advance patient- and family-centered care within children’s hospitals but may not reflect the diversity of the communities they serve. We sought to assess PFAC diversity among children’s hospitals and explore barriers, drivers, and enablers of recruitment, retention, and engagement of patient and family advisors (PFAs) with diverse perspectives and backgrounds. We performed a mixed methods study to evaluate structure, composition, recruitment, and engagement strategies of children’s hospital PFACs. Individuals likely to have knowledge of or responsibility for PFACs at each Children’s Hospital Association (CHA) member hospital were asked to complete an electronic questionnaire. A subset of respondents from hospitals varying in size and region participated in 1-hour virtual interviews. We received valid responses from 166 (73%) of 228 CHA member hospitals. Eighty-eight percent reported having at least one PFAC. Only 21% selected “definitely true” when asked if their PFACs reflected the racial and ethnic diversity of the community served. Twelve respondents from various children’s hospitals participated in qualitative interviews. Five themes emerged: 1) Importance of Diversity in PFAC Membership; 2) Targeted, Personalized Recruitment and Engagement Strategies Facilitate Diverse PFACs; 3) Importance of Supporting PFAs from Diverse Backgrounds; 4) Ample Opportunities to Engage PFAs in Institutional Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Efforts; and 5) External Factors as Drivers for Change within PFACs. Many PFACs are working to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion, but opportunities to close gaps remain. Findings may inform strategies to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion within PFACs across hospital systems.
