| Statistical Assessment of Flight Risk Assessment Tool in General Aviation: (Spring 2022): 2021-22 (2912) | Educational Support | Federal Aviation Administration Safer Skies | Aviation Institute | Engaged Research | None | None | Spring | 2021-22 | None | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | The Flight Risk Assessment Tools (FRATs) was developed and recommended by the FAA to provide a solution of proactive hazard identification. Operators are expected to decide whether to use the FRAT as published by the FAA or modify it as needed. Currently, most SMS compliant GA operators implemented FRATs of various versions for their own operations. However, the modified FRATs could be inappropriate because the operational features of GA could be very different with different operational purposes. The purpose of this study is to provide an insight into potential approaches to validate the modified FRAT that is used for safety risk assessment in GA operations. | ||||

| The impact of Covid 19 on seniors’ mental health: 2021-22 (2918) | International Service | South Cowichan Seniors Program | Social Work | Engaged Research | None | None | Spring | 2021-22 | None | None | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Other | South Cowichan Seniors (SCS) is comprised of a group dedicated volunteers committed to improving the lives of seniors in the South Cowichan area. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the SCS program provided the elderly with social support and an opportunity to build meaningful relationships. A healthy luncheon was provided by SCS in the Cobble Hill Hall on the second and fourth Mondays of each month to approximately 200 participants from 20 staff. Subsequent to the pandemic social gatherings were restricted, the SCS group provides meals via a takeout service. COVID-19 has decreased the number of meaningful interactions seniors are able to participate in, reduced social interactions as participants are no longer able to dine together. An understanding of the social networks of seniors, stress throughout the pandemic and social isolation all warrant attention and action. It is therefore important to understand this populations needs, effects of COVID-19 on seniors’ mental health as well as innovative ways to increase social connectedness. A quantitative survey of seniors participating in the luncheon program will be conducted to garner an understanding of the impact of the luncheon program on stress during the pandemic as well as senior’s mental health and wellness throughout the pandemic. | ||

| Put it in your Toolbox”: How Vocational Reentry Programs Support Formerly Incarcerated Persons through Desistance: (Spring 2022): 2021-22 (2954) | Economic Impact | Nebraska Crime Commission | Nebraska Center for Justice Research, Criminology and Criminal Justice | Engaged Research | None | None | Spring | 2021-22 | None | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | This study utilized life story interviews with 21 formerly incarcerated individuals to examine the role vocational reentry programming played in the desistance process. A thematic analysis revealed that programming assisted individuals who were either open to lifestyle changes or committed to pro-social lifestyle improvements prior to beginning programming. Findings also revealed participants committed to desistance isolated themselves from anti-social peers, found social support through the programs, overcame employment barriers through programming, and held resilient and optimistic attitudes in changing their identities and behavioral trajectories. We conclude with a discussion on how the findings can inform desistance theory and reentry policy. | ||||

The exhibit features art of Dr. Mark Gilbert and his late father, Scottish artist Norman Gilbert (1926-2019). Mark’s art includes portraits of patients being treated for dementia and their caregivers, both familial and professional. His work raises questions associated with the uncertainties, confusion and isolation associated with dementia for both patient and caregiver, while simultaneously offering glimpses into the healing aspects of art. Mark’s art and related research have contributed to both medical and art education. Norman’s work featured in the exhibit includes drawings created as he kept vigil with his wife of 65 years, Pat, as she lay dying in hospital of an Alzheimer’s related illness. The drawings turn what was a private experience into something shared. | |||||||

| VRP & CBI Recidivism Reduction: 2021-22 (3012) | Engaged Research | None | None | Spring | 2021-22 | None | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | NBOP/DPS propose to create a violence-reduction (VRP) aftercare program and CBI groups which maintain an open group structure to effectively reduce the recidivism rate of high-risk parole clients, particularly those who have been identified as likely to reoffend violently as well as those who have failed on community supervision previously. This project will result in the development and implementation of VRP Aftercare and CBI Open Groups; deliverables for this project will include a complete program curriculum and structure documentation for each program, action plan for implementation, and both a midterm and final report assessing the effectiveness of both groups. Funding will be expended on the following program design elements: creation of curriculum and group materials, documents related to group implementation to allow for creation of a standardized model, training of staff (clinicians across Nebraska), and formal evaluation of both groups using propensity-score matching or other appropriate quasi-experimental methodology. Mandatory program components for this project include the creation of each group as well as the evaluation which will produce both formative and summative program assessments. These groups are intended to serve approximately 50 clients through the VRP Aftercare and approximately 150-200 clients in the CBI Open Groups over the duration of the grant period (in the 30-month implementation phase). Baseline recidivism data indicate that 50.0% of parole clients who completed the evidence-based VRP program while in a Nebraska prison facility will return to prison on a parole revocation due to new laws violations or technical violations. With respect to the full parole population, 27.1% have been identified as recidivating; recidivism is defined here as revocation of parole due to new law or technical violations or readmission to a Nebraska prison facility. Currently, NBOP/DPS utilize the Ohio Risk Assessment System (ORAS) to identify risk and needs for clients on community supervision; this tool will be employed to target the highest-risk parole violators for CBI Open Groups. In conjunction with this risk assessment tool, NBOP/DPS will utilize the decision-making guidelines to identify participants who have completed the facility-based VRP program for VRP Aftercare groups. | |||||||
