Trauma centers must play a role in injury prevention. Pediatric trauma centers have the ability to create injury prevention programs targeting all children. After analyzing our trauma registry data, we determined that bicycle injuries are a significant mechanism of injury in children and developed strategies aimed at preventing such injuries. Along with support from Kohl's Cares, we are able to achieve our mission of keeping children in our community healthy and safe. Our comprehensive bicycle safety program is targeted to various ages and learning styles and aims to increase bicycle safety and helmet use among children in our region.
Asians, despite their diverse ethnic compositions (i.e., South Asians, East Asians, Southeast Asians, and Middle Easterners), are monolithically categorized under one broad racial label. But this Asian label may be differentially used. Some ethnic subgroups are perceived to be more prototypically Asian than others and cultural contexts may further shape such perception. With historically longstanding presence of East Asians in the United States and South Asians in the United Kingdom, we theorized that the perceived prototypicality of different Asian subgroups in the two countries would reflect these respective historical salience. Three studies (N = 849) examined the cultural differences between Americans and British in their perceptions of Asian subgroups in terms of how prototypically Asian and how foreign they seem. Studies 1 and 2 found that compared to British perceivers, Americans perceived East Asians as more prototypically Asian; British considered South Asians as more prototypical than American participants. Study 3 showed that Americans perceived East and Southeast Asians to be less foreign and more prototypically American than South Asians and Middle Easterners, but British perceived South Asians to be less foreign and more prototypically British than all other Asian ethnicities. This research demonstrates the importance of disaggregating Asian subgroups and historical contextualization of prototype theories.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
