Explorations in the Stone-Campbell Traditions: Essays in Honor of Herman A. Norton

This important collection of essays honors Herman A. Norton (1921-2002), Dean of the Disciples Divinity House at Vanderbilt University from 1951 until his retirement in 1986. Topics from all three branches of the Stone-Campbell Movement are treated including early leaders like Barton Stone and Alexander Campbell, as well as later studies after the Civil War and into the early 1940s.https://digitalcommons.acu.edu/acu_library_books/1013/thumbnail.jp

Patient and Physician Race and the Allocation of Time and Patient Engagement Efforts to Mental Health Discussions in Primary Care: An Observational Study of Audiorecorded Periodic Health Examinations

This study investigated racial differences in patient-physician communication around mental health versus biomedical issues. Data were collected from audiorecorded periodic health examinations of adults with mental health needs in the Detroit area (2007-2009). Patients and their primary care physicians conversed for twice as long, and physicians demonstrated greater empathy during mental health topics than during biomedical topics. This increase varied by patient and physician race. Patient race predicted physician empathy, but physician race predicted talk time. Interventions to improve mental health communication could be matched to specific populations based on the separate contributions of patient and physician race

Periodic Health Examinations and Missed Opportunities among Patients Likely Needing Mental Health Care

Periodic health examinations (PHEs) are the most common reason adults see primary care providers. It is unknown if PHEs serve as a "safe portal" for patients with mental health needs to initiate care. We examined how physician communication styles impact mental health service delivery in PHEs

Supporting surveillance capacity for antimicrobial resistance: Laboratory capacity strengthening for drug resistant infections in low and middle income countries.

Development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens our ability to treat common and life threatening infections. Identifying the emergence of AMR requires strengthening of surveillance for AMR, particularly in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) where the burden of infection is highest and health systems are least able to respond. This work aimed, through a combination of desk-based investigation, discussion with colleagues worldwide, and visits to three contrasting countries (Ethiopia, Malawi and Vietnam), to map and compare existing models and surveillance systems for AMR, to examine what worked and what did not work. Current capacity for AMR surveillance varies in LMICs, but and systems in development are focussed on laboratory surveillance. This approach limits understanding of AMR and the extent to which laboratory results can inform local, national and international public health policy. An integrated model, combining clinical, laboratory and demographic surveillance in sentinel sites is more informative and costs for clinical and demographic surveillance are proportionally much lower. The speed and extent to which AMR surveillance can be strengthened depends on the functioning of the health system, and the resources available. Where there is existing laboratory capacity, it may be possible to develop 5-20 sentinel sites with a long term view of establishing comprehensive surveillance; but where health systems are weaker and laboratory infrastructure less developed, available expertise and resources may limit this to 1-2 sentinel sites. Prioritising core functions, such as automated blood cultures, reduces investment at each site. Expertise to support AMR surveillance in LMICs may come from a variety of international, or national, institutions. It is important that these organisations collaborate to support the health systems on which AMR surveillance is built, as well as improving technical capacity specifically relating to AMR surveillance. Strong collaborations, and leadership, drive successful AMR surveillance systems across countries and contexts

Lectures in Honor of the Alexander Campbell Bicentennial

In 1984, the Disciples of Christ Historical Society set forth a program to celebrate the 200th birthday of Alexander Campbell. This book launched a renewed interest in Stone-Campbell history and inspired research that shaped numerous historical projects. Contributors include T. Dwight Bozeman, Robert O. Fife, Richard L. Harrison, Samuel S. Hill, Thomas Olbricht, William J. Richardson, D. Newell Williams, Eva Jean Wrather, and Barbara Brown Zickmund.https://digitalcommons.acu.edu/acu_library_books/1018/thumbnail.jp
