Reed, Irene K. Guttilla – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2023
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) can engage large numbers of students and provide a structured environment in which to learn valuable research skills. The ability to implement laboratory-based CUREs was hindered by the COVID-19 pandemic, generating a greater need for online options. A pilot study of an adaptation of a fully…

Henderson, Alesha; Miller, Carrie A.; Sutton, Arnethea L.; Guidry, Jeanine P. D. – Health Education & Behavior, 2021
Little is known about how triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is discussed on the visual social media platform, Instagram. A greater understanding of the experiences of TNBC survivors that are documented on this platform may inform us of how this group of survivors cope with this rare, but aggressive form of breast cancer. This study analyzed a…

Ding, Xinyi; Larson, Eric C.; Doyle, Amanda; Donahoo, Kevin; Rajgopal, Radhika; Bing, Eric – Interactive Learning Environments, 2021
In this paper, we develop a context-aware, tablet-based learning module for adult education. Specifically, we focus on adult education in healthcare-teaching learners to perform a medical screening procedure. Based upon how learners navigate through the learning module (e.g. swipe-speed and click duration, among others), we use machine learning to…

Antwi, Godfred O.; Lohrmann, David K.; Jayawardene, Wasantha – Journal of Alcohol and Drug Education, 2021
Although few studies have established significant associations between cancer risk perception and smoking status, the evidence remains inconclusive. Therefore, the current study aimed to examine the association between risk perception for developing cancer and smoking status, controlling for sociodemographic factors. Data from the National Cancer…

Mangis, J. W.; Mansur, T. B.; Kern, K. M.; Schroeder, J. R. – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2019
Undergraduate research is a valuable tool to demonstrate both the dedication and time required to be a successful biologist. One area of research that has intrigued students over the last several years is cytotoxicity. However, at smaller undergraduate institutions, the time, training, and funding available for these research studies may be…

Quiñones, Rosalynn; Kolling, Derrick R. J.; Shoup, Deben; Smythers, Amanda L.; Nickel, Sarah; Westfall,Tamara D.; Epperly, Courtney; Coplin, Miranda – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
Melanoma, a type of cancer that develops in melanocytes, is usually caused by direct exposure of skin to ultraviolet (UV) radiation resulting in cellular damage. In this study, a procedure to determine the effects of various commercial sunscreens with SPF values ranging from 15 to 100 was developed using pig skin to mimic human skin. These…
