Abstract:
Motivation Today 49 million individuals in the US are affected by food insecurity (Whittle et. al., 2015). Low-income populations tend to depend solely on convenient stores for calorically-dense, nutrient poor sustenance, and suffer from health problems that drastically shorten or debilitate lives (Dhurandhar et al., 2016). In Richmond, Virginia there is a dramatic divide between wealthy and low-income communities in terms of the accessibility as well as the types and quality of foods available. Several communities in this city meet the characteristics of a food desert. Problem Grocery store c

Abstract:
Background This thesis explores processes involved in stakeholders’ attempts to secure sustainability of three short-term funded community health initiatives known as healthy living centres (HLCs). The overall aim was to identify and examine development of sustainability strategies in Scottish HLC organisations. In contrast to retrospective accounts examining influences on extent of sustainability little is known about how this concept is considered by organisations approaching the end of funding. Organisational development theorising has focused on organisational change, with no attention giv

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to describe and evaluate the process of implementing an elementary school-based action team dedicated to increasing physical activity and healthy living opportunities for students. To facilitate this intervention, Epstein and colleagues' (2002) partnership framework, coupled with action research principles, was used to create partnerships between the school, home, and community. The results suggest that an action team based on Epstein and colleagues' guidelines may be suitable for creating opportunities for healthy and active living in an elementary school setting

Abstract:
Urban Studies<br>M.A.<br>The living wage movement swept American cities in the mid-1990s, bringing new attention to working poverty and challenging the economic development ethos of urban regimes. This case study of the living wage in Philadelphia merges regime theory and social movement theory to explain the outcomes of two very different campaigns in 1997-1999 and 2005. Documents were examined and interviews were conducted with a variety of actors in social movement organizations, a union, and from within the regime.

Abstract:
Global populations are ageing, and people need to be physically active for good health. Research about physical activity for older adults has focused on general physical activity rather than community sport. This research investigated the benefits of, and barriers to, community sport participation for older adults and for sporting organisations trying to engage older adults. Reasons for older adult drop out and re-engagement in sport, and potential modifications to attract and/or retain older adults were also investigated.

This is a study of the international community living movement to enable people with disabilities to either leave custodial institutions or be supported to live improved lives in the community. It is examined from the vantage point of the closure of a local mental retardation institution in western Massachusetts. This local example was seen as being a microcosm of a larger social movement and was deeply influenced in its broad outline by the ideology of normalization (now increasingly referred to as social role valorization theory).

Abstract:
Studies have shown that the rising rate of adverse physical, social and mental conditions are tightly related to a lack of physical activity, poor eating habits, and the lack of social interaction. Unlike health problems centuries ago which were often caused by lethal diseases, the contemporary health problems in the United States relate to peoples' lifestyles and built environments. Vehicle-oriented community design has caused limited physical activity and unhealthful eating habits that increase obesity and other related health problems. Modern built environments often unintentionally discour

Abstract:
Falls and related injuries are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in people aged 65 years and older. Despite all the many health benefits already reported from regular exercise participation including reduction of falls, this population group is still reported to be inadequately physically active. Therefore, it is critical to develop and validate new options that can enhance exercise uptake, sustain participation of this group and reduce their risk of having falls.

As a social worker practising in long-term residential care for people living with dementia, I am alarmed by discourses in the media and health policy that construct persons living with dementia and their health care needs as a threatening “rising tide” or crisis. I am particularly concerned about the material effects such dominant discourses, and the values they uphold, might have on the collective provision of care and support for our elderly citizens in the present neoliberal economic and political context of health care.
