Study Contributions. Project 1 of this dissertation research will provide at least five contributions to research examining F&V consumption. First, this dissertation will advance my understanding of factors that influence F&V consumption in the WIC population. Second, this research is the first to evaluate the Georgia WIC FMNP, specifically the program‟s impact on F&V intake of both mother and child and on nutrition knowledge and competencies about F&V. Third, this project will be the first to report the child‟s F&V intake among WIC recipients participating in the FMNP. Fourth, this project will be the second to assess the impact of the WIC FMNP on both F&V intake of the mother and the mother‟s nutrition knowledge and competencies about F&V. Fifth, the Emory WIC FMNP study participants were all African American postpartum WIC recipient women and/or women who had a child WIC recipient. Since only one other study in the existing literature has included only African American women, in which all were pregnant, my study will gain information about post-partum African American women.
Study Contributions. This dissertation makes several contributions. The first research question, by gauging the level of consensus in diagnostic and treatment decisions among mental health trainees on the brink of independent professional practice in a number of disciplines, assesses the degree to which mental health trainees are actually interchangeable in their dealings with clients. In the face of several potentially rationalizing trends affecting the mental health arena (e.g., the spread of managed behavioral care and evidence-based clinical guidelines), the question of provider interchangeability is an important one for medical and organizational sociology, as well as for consumers of American mental health care attempting to navigate our decentralized system. The second and third research questions ask whether, and in what ways, professional affiliation affects trainees’ clinical approach and decision making. These questions lie at the intersection of organizational sociology and cultural sociology by asking how occupational culture and structure affect a set of work decisions made in an organizational field where different professional groups regularly compete for clients. Moreover, identifying sources of difference in trainees’ views and practices is important if the U.S. mental health field as a whole is to move toward providing greater consistency in the content (diagnosis and treatment practices) and quality of its mental health care.
