PROVIDERS’ SOCIOECOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES ON THE SUPPORTS FOR AND CHALLENGES TO ENGAGEMENT IN CARE FOR LATINO YOUTH LIVING WITH HIV: A QUALITATIVE STUDY A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy to BY DIANA LEMOS June, 2015 Department of Psychology College of Science and Health DePaul University Chicago, IL ii THESIS COMMITTEE Gary W. Harper, Ph.D., M.P.H. Chairperson Bernadette Sanchez, Ph.D. Departmental Reader Leonard A. Jason, Ph.D. Departmental Reader John Mazzeo, Ph.D. Outside Reader Fernando DeMaio, Ph.D. Outside Reader Sybil G. Hosek, Ph.D. Outside Reader iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many people made this dissertation project possible and provided much support and guidance throughout my years at DePaul. First and foremost, I would like to thank Dr. Gary Harper for not only believing in me when I decided first to apply to Stroger Hospital of Cook County and second, to DePaul University, but also for his patience and support through the difficult adjustment period of trying to find my way as a graduate student, project director, and colleague. He has provided me with an incredible amount of wisdom, and with lots of humor, not just in an academic and research sense, but most importantly, in life. I will forever remember the pottery analogy when approaching writing edits. His exemplary pursuit of giving voice to those most marginalized has been the inspiration for my work in this dissertation, and for my work as a community psychologist. I would like to express heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Bernadette Sanchez, who has served as a mentor to me throughout graduate school, and who stepped in as chairperson of my committee when Gary could no longer serve, due to a change in the university. I am forever grateful to my mentor and supervisor, Dr. Sybil Hosek, with whom I have worked closely with for the past 10 years, who has offered unconditional support and guidance throughout my professional development. Her encouragement and genuine belief in others’ abilities and capabilities to reach their fullest potential is a source of inspiration that I hope to be able to pay forward to others. I am also grateful to the other dissertation iv committee members, Dr. Jason, Dr. DeMaio, and Dr. Mazzeo, who were patient in this dissertation‘s completion, and in providing insightful feedback that resulted in making the document stronger. I also would like to thank my mother, Maria P. Fraire, and my father, Arturo Lemos, for their support throughout my graduate school experience, and in being supportive of me completing the project. Throughout my life, they have taught me the importance of hard work, self-education, gratitude, perseverance and selflessness through their actions. I would also like to thank all my family members who have been there throughout this process, which includes my siblings, my nephews and niece, my grandmother, Balvina Fraire, and my dearest friends and colleagues, especially Jennifer Brothers. I would also like to thank my fellow Harper Research and Graduate student team members with whom I have closely bonded and on whom I leaned for support. Finally and most importantly, I am thankful to the providers who were participants in this study, who volunteered their time and effort to share their experiences working with Latino youth living with HIV. All of these people, in more ways than one, have contributed emotionally, spiritually, and physically toward the completion of this dissertation and thus, thank you! v VITA The author was born in Chicago, Illinois on June 9, 1981.

  • Designing Freight Compatible Communities: a New Planning Paradigm Principal Investigator: Dr
    SWUTC Grant – Summer 2012: Developing a Curriculum for Freight Planning Title of Project: Designing Freight Compatible Communities: A New Planning Paradigm Principal Investigator: Dr. Talia McCray, Community and Regional Planning, UTSOA Research Team: Lisa Loftus-Otway, UT Center for Transportation Research Maarit M. Moran, MSCRP Candidate, UTSOA Grant Period: June – August 2012 Project Abstract: Incompatibility between land uses and transportation projects is a growing challenge in planning for a sustainable and equitable American urban form. In many areas, heavily trafficked freight routes lie adjacent to land uses, including dense urban, quiet exurban, and rural communities, that are often noise, light, and vibration sensitive. There has been a historic lack of communication between planners, transportation planners and the freight industry. This has led to flawed policies including poor planning choices that have shifted the balance between industrial and residential development. Auto-oriented development patterns of the last century have magnified the conflicts and impacts between residential and freight development. However, there are positive examples of beneficial transportation investment projects such as those that have created higher paying jobs for disadvantaged populations. During the grant period, from June 1st, 2012 to August 31st, 2012, this study was undertaken to aid in the development of a new course focused on these and other issues in freight planning for the department of Community and Regional Planning at the University of Texas at Austin. 1 Project Introduction: The freight industry is a crucial element of the national economy, producing revenue and jobs across the nation while carrying an average of 42 tons of freight worth $39,000 per person in the United States (2007 Commodity Flow Survey Data).

It seems that the two years in between Conferences go by very quickly. The accomplishments of the Council Chairs and Vice Chairs, Committee Chairs and committee members, as well as Conference coordinators in that span of time is quite impressive. Once again we can take pride in the exceptional successes we achieved at the biennial meeting in Chandler, AZ. I would like to thank all of you who sacrificed your time and shared your talents and expertise in preparation for the 2004 Conference in Chandler. I especially extend admiration and gratitude to our past Chair, Glenda Christy, and our Conference Director and his partner, Trevor and Linda Hayes. I wish to also thank Al Brown, David Ludwig, Karen Reno and the entire Local Arrangements Committee for the phenomenal planning and preparation that culminated in a successful and fun conference. Finally, to each attendee, without whom there would be no conference, thank you. The mission of the Conference has been and remains very simple: To bring together representatives from the food industry, government, academia and consumer groups to identify emerging food safety problems and collaborate on solutions. Each year we are faced with food safety concerns that challenge us on different levels. Some require us to look at food safety from a perspective different than usual.
