Adolescent pregnancy in rural communities: a multifunctional support center
(0025-03-03) Archer, Kirsten; Karpan, Cynthia (Interior Design); Nancekivell, Shaylene (Psychology); Roshko , Tijen
This research explores the application of Roger S. Ulrich’s Supportive Design theory to a multi-functional support center for adolescent mothers. Ulrich’s theory posits that well-being is enhanced by environments that reduce stress through factors like control, social support, and positive distractions. The research acknowledges the significant stress faced by adolescent mothers due to unplanned pregnancies, including emotional turmoil, educational uncertainties, and relationship challenges. The proposed support center aims to mitigate these stressors by incorporating key elements of Supportive Design, including: Control: Providing residents with agency over their environment through features like personalized living spaces, adjustable temperature controls and flexible access to various spaces within the center. Social Support: Fostering a sense of community through shared spaces, opportunities for peer interaction and access to supportive services. Positive Distraction: Integrating Biophilic design principles, such as natural light, views of nature, and the incorporation of natural materials, to enhance environment’s calming and restorative qualities. Biophilic design, drawing on the work of Edward O. Wilson and Stephen Kellert, emphasizes the innate human connection to nature. By incorporating natural elements and fostering a connection to the natural world, the center aims to reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance overall well-being for the adolescent mothers. The research emphasizes the crucial role of social support in the lives of adolescent mothers, drawing on theories by Francis Cullen and others. It highlights the link between social support and improved mental health, effective parenting, and better educational and employment outcomes. By integrating Supportive Design principles, incorporating Biophilic design elements, and addressing the critical need for social support, the proposed center aims to create a nurturing and empowering environment that enables adolescent mothers to thrive and break the cycle of poverty and adversity.

The influence of civilization on the North American Indian
(1902) MacPherson, Robert James
The question is not a new one. Indeed, so much has been said and written on the subject that one might be tempted to think the literature treating of it altogether out of proportion to its importance. Certainly this literature has been so long in accumulating that we are at least led to suppose that nothing new can be said, and that any importance there is in the question was realized long ago. This, however, is not true, for much that is in print on the Indians might, just so far as their well-being is concerned, have been left unwritten. The one thing that gave it birth was the fascination of a subject so congenial to minds fond of real and rarest incident. The history of no other people can afford so much delightful romance, or startling adventure, or courageous enterprise, compressed in so short a period, as can that of the Indians of North America. Hence it is only to comparatively few of the legion of authors that the material importance of the subject has at all appealed, and therefore by even a lesser number that it has been treated in a judicious and interested manner.
