Abstract: This study was part of an Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications of the Human Genome Project (ELSI) grant funded by the Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) . It was conducted under the aegis of the Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia, and the University of Florida College of Medicine in Gainesville, Florida. As part of the project, the current study sought to answer the following questions: 1) What are the qualifications and training of professionals in the southeastern United States who provide genetic counseling? 2) Who routinely does and who should do genetic counseling? and 3) What are the educational methods used by the different health professionals in genetic counseling? A self-administered mail survey was sent to 325 potential genetic counseling professionals in the southeastern United States (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee) . Two hundred four persons volunteered for the study. Genetic associates (31%), physicians (30%), and nurses represent the three largest groups of health professionals involved in the genetic counseling process. Genetic counseling is usually a team activity. The majority of respondents reported that social workers are not and should not routinely be involved in genetic counseling. Genetic associates are well trained in human genetics and counseling techniques, but like physicians and nurses have much room for improvement in the educative aspect of counseling. Physicians have more years of experience (13 years) doing genetic counseling than genetic associates (6 years) and nurses (6 years) but the bulk of their training apparently comes from supervised clinical training rather than formal courses in human genetics, counseling techniques, and educational methods and principles. Nurses and genetic associates have comprable years of experience but nurses lack the formal courses in human genetics and counseling techniques. The majority of all respondents had no formal training in educational methods and principles. Educational techniques such as assessing clients' educational level and asking patients to repeat information in their own words were not always utilized. Recognizing professional limitations and formal training in human genetics are the only two factors perceived to increase counseling effectiveness. Policy recommendations are given. Dissertation Discovery Company and University of Florida are dedicated to making scholarly works more discoverable and accessible throughout the world.

This book focuses on the lives of five unique, nationally known sociologists who are among the first African American women to receive doctorate degrees in this discipline. The histories of Jacquelyne Johnson Jackson, LaFrancis Rodgers-Rose, Joyce A. Ladner, Doris Wilkinson, and Delores P. Aldridge are accompanied by personal sociologies and detailed descriptions of unique areas of research they have used for social change. In each case, the reader will be able to see the intellectual and academic evolution of the sociologists as they built careers in their discipline. Further, the reader will be able to understand how these sociologists extended the very definition of the sociological enterprise by their movements between academic sociology and non-academic organizations, various social movements, and non-academic employment. Interviews with and analyses of the sociologists' published research are featured alongside their biographical information.
Analyzes American Indian education in the last century and compares the tribal, mission, and Bureau of Indian Affairs schools.To Live Heroically examines American Indian education during the last century, comparing the tribal, mission, and Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) schools and curriculums and the assumptions that each system made about the role that Indians should assume in society. This significant book analyzes the relationship between the rise of institutional racism and the fall of public education in the United States using the history of American Indian education as a model.The author asserts that had the federal government really wanted an educated, self-sufficient Indian population, it would have selected the successful nineteenth-century tribal models of Indian education rather than the mission or BIA schools. And her description of the reservation and bordering white community demonstrates the depth of institutional racism and its impact on local politics, economics, and education. Huff wants the reader to see how policy is made about Indian education and to recognize the complex issues that Indian (and other minority) families and educators deal with in real communities.
Among Hispanic literatures, Cuban-American fiction is unique because of the Cuban-American disposition to regard themselves as exiles rather than immigrants. Many Cuban-Americans have never been to Cuba and therefore must rely on the memories of those around them to draw conclusions about it. These writers have grown up with English as their primary social language and feel more comfortable using English in their writing. Until now, no listing or bibliography has ever been compiled of Cuban-American fiction written in English or its criticism. As more works by Cuban-Americans are being published every year, a resource for such titles has become necessary. The body of literature needs a publication that addresses the works of Cuban-American authors for those who want an introduction to the subject, more general knowledge about the topic, or a more solid foundation from which to research it. This is the first comprehensive work to address Cuban-American fiction originally written in English. It contains listings and annotations of all novels, anthologies, and short story collections written by the first and second generations of Cuban Americans. This work also possesses listings and annotations of all secondary works that focus on this fiction. Works begin in 1963 with A Wake in Ybor City by Jose Yglesias and run well into the first decade of the 21st century.
Stumbling Blocks expands and contextualizes the unpublished works of the late African American writer Delores Phillips. Born in Cartersville, Georgia in 1950, Delores Faye Phillips spent much of her childhood in Georgia before moving to Cleveland, Ohio. Best known for her 2004 novel The Darkest Child, which follows the Quinn family as they attempt to survive and escape racism, lynchings, and poverty in Jim Crow Georgia during the 1950s, Phillips wrote much more than that. While the novel was met with critical acclaim, little is known about Phillips herself or about her other writings. Indeed, in the 2018 reissue of The Darkest Child, Tayari Jones remarks in the introduction that when she heard Phillips had passed away in 2014, she was “weighted down with longing for the other books that she would never write.” This volume, then, corrects the misconception that The Darkest Child was Phillips’s only published work. Rather, it establishes her as an experienced and prolific writer who created multi-genre literature throughout her life. It paints a broader picture of Phillips, who was not just a novelist but also a poet and short story writer as well. Just as Alice Walker’s recovery work on Zora Neale Hurston in the 1970s was critical to a revival and appreciation of Hurston as “a genius of the South,” Stumbling Blocks illuminates and expands the legacy of an underrepresented writer who is uniquely situated at the intersections of multiple identities including race, gender, disability, and region. In addition to the sequel to The Darkest Child, this collection also includes an unfinished third novel (No Ordinary Rain), ten poems, seven short stories, contextualizing essays, and an in-depth biography of Phillips. It is also bookended by a foreword from Phillips’s sister, Linda Miller, and an afterword from renowned literary scholar Trudier Harris.
