Smoking, Secondhand Smoke, And Quitting: A Cessation Program
Date: April 3, 2008
Creator: Settegast, Brandi & Eve, Susan
Description: This paper discusses a research study that uses an education program designed to teach young women about the health effects of smoking, secondhand smoke, and the benefits of quitting. The authors used a PowerPoint presentation and a short questionnaire, administered three times-prior to the presentation, directly after the presentation, and two weeks after the presentation-to measure the effectiveness of the program. Scores on the questionnaire increased greatly directly after the presentation, but decreased on the two-week follow-up, making the program slightly effective. Methods are needed to increase retention. Limitations to this study included difficulty recruiting, leading to a small number of participants. Problems with the Institutional Review Board (IRB) delayed beginning and contributed to the difficulty of recruiting for this study. Only one participant did not complete the two-week follow-up.

Social Anxiety and Word Use: How Environments Can Influence Words
Date: April 15, 2010
Creator: Morgan, Heather C. & Boals, Adriel
Description: This presentation discusses research on social anxiety and word use. Language provides insight into individuals' perceptions, needs, and desires. Stress has been shown to influence an individual's self-presentation to others, and in the current study, the impact of stress on language was examined. Ninety-four participants completed a stressful speech about the body part they liked the least. The results indicated that as state anxiety levels increased in males, the use of social related words and references to others increased. This relationship between language use and state anxiety levels was not found in females. These results conflict with current theories of gender differences and coping with stress.

The Socioeconomic and Cultural Impact of the Homeless on the Denton, Texas Community
Date: April 19, 2012
Creator: Schultz, Gabrielle & Eve, Susan
Description: This poster discusses research on the socioeconomic and cultural impact of the homeless on the Denton, Texas community. The government has painted a sordid picture of the condition of homelessness in the United States, and for the past fifty years the responsibility for taking care of the homeless has shifted back and forth from the citizens to the federal government. Nobody, it seems, wants to deal with such a vague, messy problem. Some groups advocate the building of many new homeless shelters and transitional housing for the people who live on the streets. Up until now, however, very few studies have been done where homeless individuals were asked for their stories and opinions. This study explores the viewpoint of homeless individuals and what they have to offer to the culture of the Denton, Texas community, as well as the socioeconomic impact they have. A meta-analysis will review data from previous research, and interviews will offer first-hand insight into the plight of the homeless.

Socioeconomics and the Ethics of Organ Donation
Date: April 19, 2012
Creator: McClinchie, Elizabeth & Verrill, Diane
Description: This poster discusses research on socioeconomics and the ethics of organ donation. The ethics of organ donation, particularly of organ sales, has been speculated upon by many a bioethicist. The political, social, biological, and moral implications of organ sales have caused a struggle for medical policy makers for some time now. This research will delve into the possible correlation of socioeconomics and views of the ethical problem of organ sales. A few sources that have been consulted are 'Biomedical Ethics: Opposing Viewpoints,' and 'If I Were A Rich Man Could I Buy A Pancreas?', which offer insight into both sides of the ethical argument: for and against organ sales. In an attempt to identify correlations between socioeconomics and views on this issue, a telephone survey will be conducted. The survey will include questions about income and financial needs, as well as questions regarding organ donation and organ sales.
