Ic2s2 Tutorial on Modeling Human Values via Social Media Data
Understanding human values with an empirical approach, both from a qualitative and quantitative point of view, allows us to better model behaviours, actions, and attitudes towards social phenomena. It is invaluable in the design of, for instance, effective health interventions - such as encouraging vaccination- or even appropriate communication campaigns for policy making - such as sensibilization towards pro-environmental attitudes. This is important since public debate on human values often focuses on perceived threats to different values while rarely understanding or articulating how values are inferred from people’s behaviors and judgements. In this tutorial, we give an overview of how the basic human and moral values are interpreted according to the psychological literature, as a combination of individual, societal, and cultural forces. We discuss the latest research in assessing these through both traditional methods, as well as through quantitative methods applied to digital data. In the first part, we provide an overview of traditional survey methods, and discuss their applicability to the new forms of discourse, the validity of recruitment using the Internet and new opportunities this medium holds. In the second part, we consider several case studies of applying computational methods to large amounts of social media data for understanding values associated with specific domains, including politics, health, charitable giving, and privacy, and discuss how social media can capture the behavioral differences in large populations of different values. Here, we introduce methodologies for large scale data analysis including topic discovery, topic refinement, grounded theory labeling, network science, and regression modeling. We conclude with the discussion of ethical use of such modeling, including data and model bias, informed consent, intervention design, and the use of persuasive technology.

The document discusses violence against women as a global issue. It provides statistics showing high numbers of cases of violence against women in the United States and Philippines. Different types of violence are outlined, including physical, psychological, sexual, economic, and spiritual violence. The document also discusses laws and programs that have been implemented to address violence against women, but notes that many cases still occur annually.

The document discusses social pathology and suicide. It defines social pathology as social factors that increase social disorganization and inhibit personal adjustment. It then discusses Durkheim's sociological theories of suicide, which posit that abnormally high or low levels of social integration can result in increased suicide rates. The rest of the document provides an overview of definitions, historical and global aspects, causes, risk factors, assessment, and prevention of suicide.

Social isolation
Social isolation is characterized by an absence of social interactions and support structures. It can be voluntary or involuntary, and the involuntary type is associated with worse mental and physical health outcomes. Studies show social isolation is linked to premature mortality, excessive morbidity, and negative physiological impacts. Interventions like group work may help address social isolation, while one-on-one work may better alleviate loneliness, but more research is still needed to fully understand effective solutions.

The project will promote mental health awareness through community outreach and sharing real stories. It aims to dispel myths and encourage those with mental illness to seek help. By changing negative attitudes, the county hopes to eliminate barriers and increase access to services for individuals and families dealing with mental health issues.
He Koha Aroha - Preventing Māori Suicide
This document outlines a research study comparing social marketing and community development approaches for Māori suicide prevention. It defines key terms, reviews literature on Māori suicide statistics and risk factors, describes social marketing and community development initiatives in New Zealand. Key informant interviews provided insights from experts. While both approaches have benefits, community development aligns more with Māori culture but data is lacking. Further research is needed to objectively compare the effectiveness of these approaches for Māori.
Impact of Suicide on People Exposed to a Fatality
"Impact of Suicide on People Exposed to a Fatality" is excerpted and adapted from Responding to Grief, Trauma, and Distress After a Suicide: U.S. National Guidelines (2015), by the Survivors of Suicide Loss Task Force (bit.ly/sosl-taskforce) of the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention. The original document is available free for download at bit.ly/respondingsuicide.
This summary report concludes that:
The research delineated above represents the solid and growing body of evidence that, for a significant number of people exposed to the suicide fatality or attempt of another person, there are long-term, harmful mental health consequences. Shneidman’s declaration (1972) that postvention is prevention for the next generation is unquestionably supported by clear and overwhelming evidence that exposure to the suicide of another person, particularly of a close intimate, elevates the risk of suicidal behavior and of death by suicide in the population of people exposed.

Individual project native americans
This document discusses social issues facing Native American communities such as poverty, drug abuse, and lack of education. It provides statistics showing Native Americans have higher rates of poverty, unemployment, violent crime victimization, infant mortality, and lower life expectancy and education levels than the US average. The document includes an interview with Dolores Cavanaugh, a Tulalip tribe member, who discusses the challenges of reservation life but also the opportunities provided by her tribe. It argues that increasing access to higher education, culturally sensitive teaching, family support, role models, financial aid, and promoting tolerance could help address the social issues facing Native American communities.
Systems Must Include Three Levels of Care for Aftermath of Suicide
The document discusses guidelines for providing support after a suicide and outlines three levels of care: immediate response, support services, and treatment services. It describes the goals and principles of each level. The immediate response involves crisis response, triage to identify high-risk individuals, and follow-up. Support services help people cope with grief and loss through information, guidance, and education. Treatment services are for those with mental health diagnoses and are provided by licensed professionals. The levels of care often overlap and distinguish support from treatment based on whether clinical interventions are being provided for a formal diagnosis.
Gender Based Violence in a Post Emergency Situation
This document discusses gender-based violence after natural disasters. It summarizes that GBV increases after disasters due to trauma, dispersed families exposing women, and relief efforts prioritizing urgent needs over safety. GBV is manifested through lower self-esteem, mental health issues, and risks like child marriage. Reducing GBV requires understanding social structures, involving women in disaster response, and having women represented on response teams distributing relief. Current policy gaps include a lack of gender perspective in disaster frameworks and response indicators. The conclusion calls for seeing women as strong forces of resistance and using disasters as opportunities for societal change.
Violence ppt
This document provides a brief definition of violence as the use of force to kill, injure or abuse others. It then discusses types of interpersonal and intergroup violence. The document notes that globally, much violence is perpetrated against women. It discusses the positive impacts of the Violence Against Women Act in the US in reducing domestic violence rates. The document also notes declines in violent crime rates in the US between 2010-2011 based on FBI data. It discusses examples of politically and religiously motivated violence. The document suggests high rates of violence in the US may be influenced by media, gun access, and structural strains like poverty and inequality. It questions whether current violence levels are inevitable and discusses concepts like relative deprivation that can contribute to
FINAL META ANALYSIS RESEARCH PAPER SSH405 Domestic Violence and Patriarchy
The document discusses intimate partner violence (IPV) against women in patriarchal societies. It notes that IPV is prevalent across cultures and negatively impacts women's physical and mental health. Studies show patriarchal relationship dynamics that emphasize male dominance and traditional gender roles are correlated with higher rates of IPV. Maintaining power and control in relationships through violence may stem from conditioning to fulfill male identities in patriarchal cultures. IPV has broader societal impacts by spreading dysfunctional behaviors and reducing a country's economic productivity and quality of life for women.
Film 260 Flipbook
This document discusses how social media impacts self-image and body image. It notes that over 90% of women are unhappy with their bodies due to ideals portrayed in media. Similarly, over 80% of men feel anxiety about their body image. Social media allows expression of individuality but also obsession with perfectionism that adds pressure. Uploading photos for approval can distort self-image. Further, over half of teens have had negative social media experiences, and cyberbullying is on the rise regarding body image and identity. While social media enables connection, it also enables bullying without refuge for victims. Solutions require support for openness online and responsibility from social media companies.

Bullying week 1 dq 2
The document discusses bullying and its negative impacts. It defines bullying as aggressive behavior using power to harm others, especially repeatedly. Victims often suffer physically and mentally, having increased risks of depression, low self-esteem, and even death. The document recommends students should report bullying, all reports be taken seriously, teachers be available to discuss it, and schools have zero tolerance policies for bullying.
Suicide prevention - New Zealand 2009
The document discusses improving care for those experiencing mental health issues associated with suicidal behaviors. It provides statistics on suicide globally and in New Zealand. Key points for improving care include early intervention, treatment of mental illness, restricting access to lethal means, and educating the public to recognize signs and seek help. Reducing stigma and myths around suicide is also important.
Black Male Youth
The document discusses culturally congruent mental health services for Black youth. It outlines the benefits of such an approach, including greater safety, empowerment, and access to care for clients. Key stressors for Black youth are discussed, such as racial discrimination, economic barriers, and negative societal messages about identity. The author advocates understanding issues in a socioecological context and emphasizing youth strengths like racial socialization and resilience developed through coping with obstacles. Therapists should appreciate clients' lived experiences, model prosocial skills, and facilitate exploration of identity development and sociopolitical awareness.
Presentation: Talking about suicide
- Suicide is a preventable public health issue, but talking about it risks unintentionally increasing suicide in vulnerable groups. Careful consideration is needed regarding the focus, audience, format, and location of any discussion.
- One-on-one conversations with those considering suicide or affected by loss can increase understanding and prevent isolation, if the listener avoids judgement, asks directly about thoughts of suicide, and encourages help-seeking.
- Media reporting on suicide methods and glorifying death can increase risk of copycat behavior in vulnerable groups, so care is needed in story details and focus on prevention resources. Social media may both help connections and pose unknown risks regarding moderation.
- Workplace programs should identify and support
Pep20 06-01-002
This document provides an overview of suicidal ideation, self-harm, and suicide attempts among youth. It discusses that:
- Suicide is the second leading cause of death for those aged 15-24 in the US. Suicidal thoughts and behaviors are more common among youth than adults.
- Terms related to suicide include suicide, suicide attempts, suicidal ideation, self-harm, and non-suicidal self-injury. Factors like mental illness, relationships, academics, and substance use contribute to suicide risk for youth.
- Approximately 18% of high school students report suicidal thoughts in the past year and 9% report attempts. Rates are higher for LGBTQ+ youth and some racial/ethnic
Restoring balance through cultural safety & the medicine wheel
North American culture sees health as an individual problem, but we live in dynamic, intercultural communities. Health is multifaceted with issues related to mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical health. Our culture can be a barrier to caring for our clients. Each area of the medicine wheel needs to be balanced for wholistic health for the client, where the client is the person, family, group, or community. Indigenous teachings support addressing all areas of the person to achieve balance. Cultural safety stresses the importance of reflection and acceptance of differences. We should not treat everyone the same, but we do need to recognize and acknowledge our blind spots.

Suicidal Ideation Among Older Adults
The document discusses suicidal ideation among older adults. It notes that adults over 65 have the highest suicide rates compared to younger age groups. Suicide is a leading cause of death for older adults and is preventable. Key risk factors for suicidal ideation in older adults include loss of autonomy, life regrets, impulsivity, hopelessness, and feeling like a burden. Proper assessment and treatment requires evaluating not just depression but also these additional risk factors. Early identification of suicidal thoughts in older adults is important to implement effective interventions.

1) The document discusses the experiences of LGBTQ students and teachers facing discrimination and lack of support in educational settings. It provides examples where a teacher was told they would not be welcome if gay, and a student was expelled for coming out.
2) It discusses the social and health impacts of discrimination and lack of support for LGBTQ youth, including higher rates of suicide, self-harm, substance abuse and dropping out of education. Having family support or attending a supportive school acts as a buffer.
3) It describes the ALLY@UNSW program that trains staff to support LGBTQ students, with the goal of creating an inclusive environment and preventing harassment.

LGBT_FINAL
The document summarizes research on health disparities faced by LGBT transition aged youth. It finds that LGBT youth experience higher rates of discrimination, rejection, bullying, mental health issues like depression and suicide attempts, drug use, and homelessness due to social stigma and lack of family and social support developing their sexual identities. The social determinants of health, including discrimination, access to healthcare, and social environment disproportionately impact the health of LGBT youth. Developing culturally competent healthcare professionals is key to addressing these issues and disparities.

The document discusses the negative effects of social isolation on mental health and physical health. It notes that social isolation is associated with increased rates of mental illness, hospitalization, health problems, and even premature death. Being socially isolated can lead to constricted thinking, hopelessness, and stress that damages the body over time. Research shows that social relationships and interactions are essential to survival and well-being.
Children and Families Forum Suicide Prevention for Children and A
Children and Families Forum: Suicide Prevention for Children and AdolescentsBy Liza Greville, MA, LCSWSocial Work TodayVol. 17 No. 5 P. 32
With the release of the Netflix drama 13 Reasons Why in March 2017, social workers from middle schools to colleges and universities across the country found themselves plunged into conversations with adolescents and young adults around topics related to suicide. While many mental health professionals objected strongly to the series, saying it contains harmful messages about the inevitability of suicide, the ability to achieve revenge through suicide, the absence of helpful others, and insufficient messages about the availability of help and support, most professionals acknowledged that, apart from these concerns, the series opened a space for conversation on a topic that is shrouded in stigma, fear, pain, and misunderstanding.
By having an accurate understanding of the scope of the problem, confronting myths and imprecise language, and using best practices in screening, intervention, and prevention, social workers have a critical role in helping children, adolescents, and young adults move through a suicidal crisis to emotional wellness.
Data on Suicide
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), suicide was the 10th-leading cause of death for all ages in 2013. Suicide was the third-leading cause of death among persons aged 10 to 14, and the second among persons aged 15 to 34, though middle-aged adults accounted for the largest proportion of suicides (56% in 2011). The percentage of adults having serious thoughts about suicide was highest among adults aged 18 to 25 (7.4%), followed by adults aged 26 to 49 (4%), then by adults aged 50 and older (2.7%) (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015).
The following were noted among students in grades nine through 12 during 2013:
• Seventeen percent of students seriously considered attempting suicide in previous 12 months (22.4% of females and 11.6% of males).
• 13.6% of students made a plan about how they would attempt suicide in the previous 12 months (16.9% of females and 10.3% of males).
• Eight percent of students attempted suicide one or more times in previous 12 months (10.6% of females and 5.4% of males).
• 2.7% of students made a suicide attempt that resulted in an injury, poisoning, or an overdose that required medical attention (3.6% of females and 1.8% of males) (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015).
New research presented in May 2017 at the Pediatric Academic Societies Meeting analyzed hospital admissions with a diagnosis of suicidal thoughts or behaviors and serious self-harm from 32 children's hospitals across that nation from 2008 to 2015. Researchers found the number of admissions has more than doubled during the past decade. The research found the largest increases among girls, and seasonal variations with the spring and fall having higher admission rates than summer (American Academy of Pediatrics, 2017 ...
Lee debbie lecture_02-16-2016
The document summarizes Debbie Lee's presentation on domestic violence prevention. It discusses the prevalence of intimate partner violence and its health impacts. It promotes a universal education approach where all patients receive information on healthy relationships. This helps facilitate disclosure from survivors and promotes primary prevention. The presentation also describes Futures Without Violence's programs like Coaching Boys Into Men that engage men and boys in prevention efforts, as well as their policy work and resources for clinicians.
Group work with Gay,Lesbian and Bisexual
Counseling gays, lesbian and bisexuals is like counseling other culturally different populations in that practitioners require culture-specific preparation.
As a social worker and as a human being we must make an effort to accurately understand the values, lifestyles, and cultural norms of gays, lesbians and bisexuals.
Age discrimination
This document discusses ageism and discrimination based on age. It defines ageism as stereotyping, prejudice, or discrimination against individuals due to their age. Several examples of ageism are provided, such as teenagers being viewed with suspicion, older individuals denied health insurance or told to retire based on their age alone. The document examines ageism through the lenses of symbolic interactionism and activity theory, suggesting that negative stereotypes lead to ageism and that remaining active benefits older adults. Statistics show ageism is widespread in Canada. To address it, the document argues for raising awareness, challenging ageist beliefs, and upholding rights and freedoms regardless of age.
Suicide Assessment and Intervention in School Settings
Here are some suggestions for creating connection with the student:
- Validate their feelings by reflecting back what you hear them expressing. "It sounds like you've been feeling really sad and alone lately."
- Ask open-ended questions to understand their perspective. "Can you tell me more about what's been going on for you?"
- Remain calm, caring and non-judgmental to build trust. Avoid reacting strongly to what they share.
- Find common ground by sharing a brief experience of your own to relate to how they may be feeling.
- Express care for their well-being. "I'm concerned about you and want to make sure you're safe."
- Thank them for opening

Dr Nicole Coupe - Preventing Māori suicide: Improving care and intervention
This cultural assessment summarizes a study on preventing suicide among Māori in New Zealand. The study investigated over 700 cases of Māori suicide and self-harm annually. It formed an investigation team and advisory group to design a randomized controlled trial comparing a culturally-informed intervention ("Powhiri") to treatment as usual for Māori presenting with self-harm. Powhiri incorporated elements of Māori culture and problem-solving therapy. Preliminary findings showed Powhiri significantly decreased hopelessness and increased time before re-presentation with self-harm compared to the control group. The assessment calls for continuing to improve Māori cultural identity through culturally-informed problem solving interventions.

Suicide Prevention Information for Asian Communities
This document provides information on suicide prevention for Asian communities in New Zealand. It summarizes statistics on suicide rates nationally and among Asian populations from 2004-2009. It also discusses risk and protective factors for suicide, noting the importance of family, community, and culturally appropriate services. Current gaps are identified in research and resources for understanding suicidality in Asian communities in New Zealand.
Working with Resistance and People Bereaved by Suicide
Resistance often occurs when bereaved individuals feel a lack of power or control over the support being offered following a suicide. Acts of resistance can be positive when they allow bereaved people to voice their concerns and regain a sense of empowerment. It is important for support providers to understand why resistance occurs from the perspective of bereaved individuals in order to have collaborative relationships and provide effective support. Embracing, rather than controlling, resistance provides an opportunity to gain valuable insights and make improvements that better meet the needs of the bereaved.
The Significance of Diversity for Suicide Prevention Initiatives
This document discusses collaborating for suicide prevention through inclusive and tailored initiatives. It notes that every person has a unique and complex identity influenced by factors like gender, sexuality, culture and more. Initiatives should consider generic, inclusive approaches as well as those tailored to specific groups' needs. Groups like the LGBT community face higher suicide risks due to challenges including discrimination, bullying and lack of support. Both targeted and inclusive initiatives were discussed as having strengths and challenges to consider for collaboration on suicide prevention.
Suicide Prevention for Pacific Communities in New Zealand
The document summarizes a symposium on suicide prevention for Pacific communities in New Zealand. It includes an outline of the agenda which involves introductions, discussing suicide prevention for Pacific communities, and the New Zealand Suicide Prevention Strategy. Statistics are provided showing Pacific peoples have the third highest suicide rates compared to other ethnic groups. The strategy aims to promote mental health, improve care for those experiencing mental health problems or who have attempted suicide, reduce access to means of suicide, support those affected by suicide, and expand evidence about effective interventions. An open discussion period is included on the agenda.
Suicide and Suicidal Behaviour in Prisons
This document summarizes patterns of suicidal behavior among inmates in New Zealand prisons over the past 20 years. There were two distinct peaks in prison suicides, in 1984-1985 and 1994-1995, which were influenced by changes in health and correctional policies. Screening tools and mental health services have since been developed and expanded for prisoners to help address suicide risk, though continued collaboration between health and corrections sectors is still needed.
Problem Gambling & Suicidality: Causality, Catalyst or Common Factor?
This document discusses problem gambling and suicidality. It presents the following key points in 3 sentences:
1. Elevated rates of depression are found in pathological gamblers, and clinicians should assess for suicidality, especially where prior mental health issues exist, as the relationship between suicidality and gambling is complex and causal factors remain unknown.
2. While most people gamble recreationally, problem gamblers represent 0.5-3% of the population and have high rates of suicidal ideation, attempts, and completions, though gambling-related suicides are relatively rare.
3. Effective public health policies and treatment interventions require responsible gambling regulations and education, secondary prevention

Non-fatal Suicidal Behaviour in Young Women: Links to Self-mutilation
This document summarizes a study on the relationship between self-mutilation and suicidal behavior in young women. Key findings include: 1) Self-mutilation is distinct from suicidal behavior in intent but provides temporary relief from suicidal thoughts; 2) Sexual abuse is a major risk factor for both behaviors as a way to regain control; 3) Counseling should focus on empowerment, trust, and addressing trauma non-judgmentally.
New Media and Suicide
This document discusses the relationship between media reporting and portrayal of suicide and suicidal behaviors. It notes that while media may help with education, it can also increase suicide risk by glamorizing suicide or presenting it as a solution to problems. The document then provides examples of research showing connections between certain styles of media reporting and increased suicide rates. It also discusses how the internet provides both opportunities for education but also risks, as some sites encourage or instruct on suicide methods. The document calls for more research and safety measures around media reporting and internet content related to suicide.
Minor Self-harm and Psychiatric Disorder
This study examined the relationship between self-harm and psychiatric disorders in a population-based sample of 958 people at age 26. It found that those who engaged in self-harm, even minor forms, had much higher rates of psychiatric disorders in the same year compared to those with no self-harm. For example, 100% of men and women who engaged in ICD-defined self-harm had a psychiatric disorder. The odds of having a psychiatric disorder were significantly higher for those who reported suicidal thoughts along with self-harm or intoxication to deal with emotional pain. The results suggest that even minor self-harm should be taken seriously as it is often linked to treatable psychiatric conditions.
Lived Experiences: Surviving and Thriving After a Suicide Attempt
n The document discusses improving care for those who engage in suicidal behaviour by better understanding their lived experiences and perspectives. Little is known about how suicide attempters view interventions and their expertise as recipients of care. Their stories are a valuable source of knowledge.
n Understanding the lived experiences of near-fatal suicide attempters may help prevent suicidal behaviour and suicide by shedding light on effective interventions. However, quantitative studies do not fully capture the experiential quality of life. Qualitative studies exploring meanings and stories can provide deeper insights.
n Selected studies have explored themes in recovery experiences, interventions that helped, and factors contributing to suicide attempts such as relational problems, abuse, and impulsiveness. Understanding contributory life

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Light House Retreats: Plant Medicine Retreat Europe

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
