Families that are discharged from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) oftentimes need additional support which is provided by NICU follow-up home visitation programs. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic caused numerous programs to shift to telehealth visitation. Following the pandemic, many of those home visitation programs continue to offer telehealth support while transitioning back to in-person care. This qualitative study aims to analyze parent attitudes toward telehealth and in-person care delivery. Through analysis, 6 main themes were generated: staff support, telehealth challenges, telehealth convenience, telehealth engagement, in-person engagement, and family preferences. The hybrid participants preferred in-person visitation due to better learning and interactions, while the telehealth group leaned toward telehealth visitation for its convenience. Nevertheless, most parents desired a hybrid mode of service delivery. Both groups shared similar thoughts about the effectiveness and convenience of telehealth. Hence, telehealth is an effective method of service delivery for home visitation programs from a parent perspective. However, depending on the family and their needs, in-person services could be encouraged to further develop the learning experience and the parent-provider rapport. For a majority of families, hybrid support provides the most suitable combination of both care models.

Soccer is bar none, the most popular sport in the entire world. It is played, followed, and loved by virtually every single country on Earth. Despite this massive support for the sport which houses some of the world’s biggest names

Soccer is bar none, the most popular sport in the entire world. It is played, followed, and loved by virtually every single country on Earth. Despite this massive support for the sport which houses some of the world’s biggest names in the world, its shortcomings when dealing with issues of racial injustice and incidents of racist behavior have become more pronounced in recent years. Although this open discussion regarding racism within the sport has recently begun to sprout, its roots can be tied back to decades ago while continuing to the present day, with players, referees, coaches, fans, commentators, and more all involved on both sides of the issue. <br/> We found this topic to be most prevalent in today’s society after witnessing multiple shameful racist incidents that have occurred to some of the world’s biggest players throughout European football in 2019, as well as the recent ongoing fight for racial reform and increased awareness regarding racial injustice in the United States. By doing comprehensive research and<br/>analysis on such incidents that have occurred throughout the years we hope to raise more<br/>awareness regarding this subject that has plagued the beautiful game. In addition, we hope to<br/>offer ways to remedy the problem one step at a time, all while answering the tough, but necessary questions regarding what specifically should be done in the sport, that others have been afraid to talk about for far too long. Specifically, we wanted to mainly highlight the experience of black players, with a further discussion on other minority groups, in English and Italian football as these two leagues have been a part of the largest debate between how club traditions, player-fan interactions, league policies, and staff management have all affected the way we view the game as the endemic of racism within the sport is exacerbated.

This thesis discusses the circumstances surrounding the movement to defund and eventually abolish the police. It introduces abolitionist theory and analyzes the economic and social factors contributing to the ideology's increasing popularity. Further, this paper examines the expenditures of several police departments in Arizona and how increases in spending affect their respective cities' crime rates. According to the regression analyses conducted for this thesis, the results indicate that there is little to no correlation between law enforcement expenditures and community safety. Upon completion of that analysis, this paper discusses recommendations to redistribute public monetary resources as a means to promote economic and social justice.
