This study analyzed different types of social support exchanged across three communication tools (forums, journals, notes) in an online alcoholism support community. Forums were primarily used for informational support through advice, facts, personal experiences and opinions. Journals and notes focused more on nurturant support like esteem, emotional support, and helping users feel less alone. The findings suggest communication tools enable different kinds of social support due to their design characteristics like visibility of posts. This information can help health professionals design online support systems that encourage healthy behaviors.
Stanford Haas Center 20th Anniversary Alumni SurveyGreg Freed
This document provides a preliminary executive summary of a survey of over 1,500 alumni from Stanford University's Haas Center for Public Service. The summary finds that:
1) Most respondents participated in multiple public service activities as students, such as student organizations and Haas Center community programs.
2) After graduation, respondents were more likely to work in the non-profit or public sectors than the general population and rated their jobs as socially relevant.
3) Participation in intensive service activities as a student, such as fellowships or service-learning courses, correlated with greater influence of public service on post-graduate career paths, education, and civic engagement.
- The document presents a study that compares the types of social support exchanged between patients on two different communication functions (discussion forums and personal journals) of an online health social network for patients with alcoholism.
- The study found that discussion forums were used more for informational support like sharing advice and experiences, while personal journals were used more for emotional support like validation and encouragement.
- This difference in the types of social support exchanged on each communication function could be related to factors like their public or private nature or the social roles people take on in the online community.
The document analyzes social support exchanges across different communication formats (forums, journals, notes) on an online health community for alcoholism. The study found:
1) Forums were used primarily to exchange informational support and provide advice, while replies offered more nurturing support.
2) Journal posts implicitly requested nurturing support by documenting feelings, while replies focused on offering nurturing support.
3) Notes were used to maintain relationships through short interactions and primarily offered nurturing support by asking "how are you?".
The findings suggest the type of social support varies based on the communication format and strength of relationships. Anonymity and accessibility of online communities can reduce stigma for conditions like alcoholism.

Dependency on social media and its effects on users (literature review) - Pre...Dr. Fiza Zia Ul Hannan
< Justification of studying social media >
As a whole, media has become an essential element in modern life. In days to come, its role will expand with the expansion of technology. This is an age of advanced digital communication (Abid Hussain, 2019).
Post-modernism has given rise to non-face-to-face interaction, i.e. online engagement. With incorporation of social media in our lifestyles, we are heading towards another era beyond Post-modernism (especially since an outburst of COVID-19).
Mainstream media, i.e. television, newspaper, its utilization and effects on consumers have been a point of focus for researchers in their scholarly debates and are well documented since half century. New media, particularly social networking sites (SNS), is relatively a new discipline and is being explored through various dimensions since its emergence.

Research Paper (Stereotype Activation and Application)Dylan Russell
Dylan V. Russell conducted a study to examine the effect of media content priming on the activation and application of racial stereotypes. 41 undergraduate students were randomly assigned to read one of three newspaper articles: one portraying African Americans negatively, one neutrally, and one positively. Participants then completed a Symbolic Racism Scale. Results showed no significant difference in scores between the three media content groups, suggesting priming with words alone may not effectively activate racial stereotypes.
This document discusses the need for and conceptual framework of nursing facility report cards that provide consumer information on quality. It proposes including six key elements in a report card system: (1) facility characteristics and ownership; (2) resident characteristics; (3) staffing indicators; (4) clinical quality indicators; (5) deficiencies, complaints, and enforcement actions; and (6) financial indicators. This information can help consumers, families, health professionals, payers, and policymakers select facilities and monitor quality of care, though the needs of consumers should be the top priority in report card design. Existing public data sources could be used to start, but more enhanced data is still needed.

Users’ Perceptions, Attitudes and Continuance Intentions of Facebook: Insight...IOSR Journals
Uses of social network sites (SNSs) are diversifying in an astounding fashion. SNSs (e.g. Facebook) can no more be seen as online platforms solely for socializing. This study examines the Facebook users’ perceptions, attitudes and continuance intentions of the site (Facebook). To meet this objective data was collected from a purposive sample of 211 respondents who have been using Facebook for more than one year. Results show that users perceive Facebook as a useful source of information and entertainment. Furthermore, results reveal that users perceive Facebook as a platform for self-expression, building social capital and meeting offline and new contacts. Perceptions about Facebook as a source of information and a platform of self-expression have a positive effect on users’ continuance intentions of the site (Facebook). Attitudes toward the Facebook mediate the relationship between users ’perceptions of the site as a source of entertainment and a platform of building social capital and their continuance intentions of the site.

Nurturant Support in Online Health Social NetworkingKat Chuang
Abstract:
Background: Expressing emotion in online support communities is an important aspect to enabling e-patients in connecting with each other, in expanding their social resources, and indirectly increase the amount of support for coping with health issues. Exploring the supportive interaction patterns in online health social networking would help us better understand how technology features impacts user behavior in this context.
Objective: We built upon previous research that identified different types of social support in online support communities by delving into patterns of supportive behavior across multiple computer-mediated communication (CMC) formats. Each format combines different ‘architectural elements’, affecting the resulting social spaces. Our research question compares communication among different format of text-based CMC provided on MedHelp.org health social networking environment.
Methods: We identified messages with nurturant support (emotional, esteem, network) across three different CMC formats (forums, journals, notes) of an online support community using content analysis. Our sample consists of 493 forum messages, 423 journal messages, and 1180 notes.
Results: Nurturant support types occurred frequently among messages offering support (Forum Comments, 67%; Journal Posts, 73.9%; Journal Comments, 82.1%; and Notes 84.9%), but less among messages requesting support. Of all the nurturing supports, emotional (i.e. encouragement) appeared most frequently, with network and esteem support appearing in patterns of varying combinations. Members of this community appeared to adapt some traditional face-to-face forms of support to their needs in becoming sober such as provision of encouragement, understanding, and empathy to one another.
Conclusion: We conclude that the CMC format may have the greatest influence on the supportive interactions because of characteristics such as audience reach and access. Other factors include perception of community versus personal space or purpose of communication. These results lead to a need for further research.

The study examined how peer networks of female college freshmen related to their romantic involvement. It found that freshmen who were not dating had significantly more female friends and friends living on campus than those who were in a relationship. This suggests that non-dating freshmen felt more comfortable with close social support networks of other females and those nearby. However, the study found few other significant differences and its hypothesis that dating freshmen would have larger, more gender diverse networks was not supported. Limitations included condensed data that ignored cultural and age differences.

Literature Review
The purpose of this report is to develop a literature review that analyses how research-based decision-making can directly affect organizational practices. In this regards, different aspects are being considered for analysis including the differences in qualitative and quantitative research methodologies and examining the advantages and disadvantages of primary as well as secondary sources of data. The entire discussion is then related to the Sun Coast’s case and how the articles in literature review solves Sun Coast’s issue.
Impact of Research-based Decision-making on the Organization
Many different researches have been made that show the positive impact of research and training on the decision making capabilities. In this regards, a study in the healthcare sector found that through training and research, there was an immediate conversion of attitudes in the workplace than on skills (Champagne et al., 2014).
One of the most popular studies in this field is the evidence- based practices. The idea behind this concept is to take quality decisions based on critical thinking and best available evidence (Barends et al., 2014). According to this practice, evidence is obtained from multiple sources in order to have a desired positive outcome. Evidence can take form of different size and shape and may and its quality depends on its relevance to the case (Barends et al., 2014).
Qualitative and Quantitative Research Methodologies
There are various types of research methodologies. However, these fall majorly into two categories; qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative research is more concerned with the information available in the form of emotions that may not be quantified. It involves gathering non-numerical data. Methods can include observation etc. Quantitative research is more concerned with the numerical data that can be easily quantified. For instance, conducting statistical analysis of the test results produce by Grade 1 students.
With regards to the case of Sun Coast, data is already available in the numeric form and therefore, the quantitative research methodologies shall be applied.
Primary and Secondary Sources of Data
Primary data is when the data is collected first hand, with direct interaction from the subjects or the target audience. This involves conducting questionnaires or interviews that provide information from the source directly. The major advantage of primary data is that new and updated information is available. However, the disadvantage is that collecting data through this source may take up a lot of time and even delays in the research. Furthermore, there are ethical concerns as well in the primary collection of data (Hox & R. Boeigi, 2005).
Secondary data is the use of already collected data by the previous researchers and using the relevant information in the current research ...

prepared background research for contract with Texas Education Association (TEA), conducted
focus groups, transcribed and analyzed data, and wrote extensive reports as instructed by TEA.
Publication on the TAMU website and one conference paper resulted from the study in addition to
the contracted reports written for TEA.
2001: On-site project manager at the Family Practice Residency of the Brazos Valley for PPIP
(Putting Prevention into Practice) program funded by a TDH (Texas Department of Health) Grant
awarded to Dr. Alicia M. Dorsey, Texas A&M School of Rural Public Health. The purpose of the
program has been to train residents in a specific prevention program, tobacco use cessation. My
responsibilities have included training residents in the program, observing (through a video/camera
room) resident-patient interactions to determine if more prevention talk has been incorporated in
the medical encounter, and following-up with residents. I have also trained the nursing staff in the
prevention program and will be collecting data this fall with patients, residents, clinic faculty
members, nurses, and administrators in order to evaluate the impacts and effects of the PPIP
program. I also have been taping resident-patient interactions at the clinic and have been
evaluating residents on their communication skills, providing feedback to the preceptors. Medical
evaluations from preceptors along with my communication evaluations are used to determine
residents’ renewal for another year in the residency program. Additionally, I review the
communication evaluations with residents and work with them to improve their patient
interactions.
2000-01: Awarded Faculty Mini-Grant from Texas A&M University for $1,500 for “Physician-
Patient Interactions and Patient Wishes: Communication as a Process for Uncovering and

To Whom It May Concern:
I write this letter to recommend Jacqueline Barnett for the advertised position in your department.
As Jacqueline’s former supervisor about 8 years ago, I have reviewed her teaching evaluations and peer evaluation during
her 1-year temporary appointment at Penn State University, York campus. Jacqueline’s quantitative student evaluations
at Penn State were far above average and quite good, especially for the health communication course that has never been
taught at this campus. Qualitative comments from her students included, “This was my favorite course at Penn State and
I’m a senior” and “The course provided a comfortable atmosphere in which to learn and exchange ideas.”
Jacqueline’s peer evaluation by senior faculty member Leonard Berkowitz provided extremely positive feedback
regarding her teaching style and interaction with students. His comments indicated that her preferred method of
instruction is discussion combined with encouraging students to think and provide commentary on readings. Through
PowerPoint, handouts, and probes, students were encouraged to think and comment on their reading assignments during
his observation.
Jacqueline also has been working on several manuscripts despite her heavy teaching loads that she has been carrying at
the community college. She is excited to get back to teaching at a 4-year institution and to doing the applied research she
loves.
On a personal note, Jacqueline strikes me as a dedicated teacher and researcher with a positive outlook. I think she would
work with others on committees and on projects. I strongly recommend Jacqueline for the academic position.
Sincerely,
Joseph P. McCormick, 2nd
