SWA 15: Exploring Topics


Questions of Flu Vaccinations

Source 1: Socioeconomic impact; global perceptive

Source 2: Ways to encourage getting the shot

Source 3: Emotional impact on the decision to/ not to get the shot

Source 4: Effect of myths on older patient’s decision

Finding these primary sources was not very difficult.  Picking out four perspectives with lots of support for each may be difficult though.  However, I am leaning toward this topic. 

Nursing Home Problems

 Source 1: Study of infection control policies

Source 2: Need for more staff training to recognize causes of behavioral problem in patients (development of mental illness)

Source 3: Lack of effective pain management

Source 4: dental/ oral health neglect

There are tons of article discussing a broad range of problems in nursing homes.   It may be too broad to work with, because there are so many different problems that could be discussed.

EBT Policies

Source 1: lack of solid research; proposal for how to begin evaluating policies

Source 2: economic implications of EBT; 1996 proposal for the program

Source 3: development of the program in AL

Source 4: Welfare Reform Act of 1996

There does not seem to be enough easily accessible information about this topic.  I am ruling it out as an option.
