Breast and prostate cancers are the most commonly diagnosed forms of cancer in women and men in the United States. The federal government has played an active role in dedicating resources toward breast and prostate cancers since the early 1990s, when policy actors successfully lobbied Congress to adopt policies that increased awareness and spending. Using theories of social construction, I argue that the key to their success was the ability of these policy actors to socially construct the illnesses of breast and prostate cancers into politically attractive public issues that appealed to federal policymakers. Through the use of embedded collective case study and content analysis of newspaper coverage and congressional data, this dissertation demonstrates how the social constructions of these illnesses impacted the way that breast and prostate cancers were treated as they moved through the policy process. The way in which social construction influenced the types of policies that were adopted to deal with these illnesses is also examined. Because social construction is a multidimensional and dynamic process, several different elements of this process were examined in this dissertation: the ways that policy actors attracted attention to these illnesses, how gender influenced advocacy efforts, the symbolic aspects of these illnesses, and the way the illnesses were defined on systemic and institutional agendas. Since this dissertation examines two different policy issues, the similarities and differences in breast and prostate cancer policymaking were analyzed. I found that discussing breast and prostate cancers in relation to their social constructions provides support for the importance of symbolism and non-rational policy-making processes. / by Jocilyn Martinez. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2010. / Includes bibliography. / Electronic reproduction.

作為當代中國老年照顧服務領域以社區為基礎的服務項目典型，社區居家養老服務於2003年已在一批城市化速度較快、經濟發展較好的城市範圍內示範性地開展了，由此促成了本次採用質化研究方法、以廣州荔灣區A街道及南京建鄴區B街道兩個示範社區所做的探索性地對比研究。 / 研究問題包涵宏觀、中觀、微觀三個不同的層面，旨在考察兩地在社區老年照顧服務情境建設中的路徑選擇、對社區居家養老服務項目的概念化和操作化、以及關鍵性專業服務理念（參與理念、增權理念）在具體服務輸送環節中的滲透情況。因此，研究主要發現主要有以下三大面向：宏觀層面提出了“服務情境服務項目的互動論，並展示了宏觀層面與中觀層面的雙向關係；中觀層面既分析服務項目內部服務理念與服務實踐的關係，又揭示了服務項目及其所能發揮的服務效益之間的關係，提出了中觀層面與微觀層面的互動可能性；微觀層面歸納出了專業服務理念對未來制度化建設的的倡導，顯示了微觀理念發展對宏觀制度建設的影響。在此基礎之上，研究員進一步提出了我國城市社區居家養老服務概念框架，以及相應的政策啟示和實務建議，共同形成了本次研究的主要研究貢獻。 / As a typical programs within the domain of the contemporary Chinese eldercare, home- and community-based services for the elderly has been experimentally implemented in dozens of relatively urbanized and economically developed cities since 2003, which promotes this exploratory qualitative comparative study between Guangzhou and Nanjing. / Research questions encompass macro, mezzo, and micro levels, designating to the constructive paths of community’s eldercare setting, the conceptualization and operationalization of home- and community-based services for the elderly, and the involvement of professional service concepts (participation, empowerment) into the concrete service delivery section. Hence, the main research findings are correspondingly based on three dimensions: at the macro level, an interactionism between “service setting--service program has been inducted, demonstrating the bidirectional relationships between the macro and mezzo levels; at the mezzo level, not only does the researcher analyze the relationship between the service concept and the service practice, she also further points out the relationship between the service program and its service effectiveness, revealing the interactive possibilities between the mezzo and micro levels; at the micro level, an advocacy for the future institutional construction put forward by the professional service concepts aforementioned has also been inducted, depicting the impetus given to the macro institutional construction by the micro conceptual development. In a nutshell, this study is mainly devoted to the dimensional relationships which are readily accessible or potential, from which a conceptual framework steering the home- and community-based services for the elderly in contemporary urban China has been abstracted, together with corresponding social policy implications and practice suggestions as a consequences. / Detailed summary in

Increased accessibility and availability of gambling opportunities around the world have contributed to more people having problems with gambling. Current gambling studies have focused on the etiology, prevalence and mechanism for the development of pathological gamblers with few studies examining the processes of change of pathological gamblers into non-gamblers. / Qualitative case analysis has been used in understanding the inner, personal and subjective changes of Chinese male pathological gamblers when concerning their process of change and their difficulties in regulating their gambling behaviour. Participant observations were conducted to collect background information about pathological gamblers and build up trustful relationships with potential respondents. Fourteen recovered gamblers or pathological gamblers have been interviewed. The researcher has utilized narrative analysis to explore the meaning of the narratives of the ex-gamblers and pathological gamblers about their relpases, their identity formation, the role of human agency and about how others have storied their lives into a meaningful configuration when facing their gambling problems. (Abstract shortened by UMI.) / There has been a lack of qualitative studies to understand the narratives of Chinese male gamblers in accounting for their changes from gamblers to non-gamblers. In particular, no studies on Chinese male gamblers have examined the issue of relapses and how pathological gamblers manage relapses. / This study aims to understand the interpretations and narratives made by pathological gamblers during their change. This study will give insights on how Chinese male pathological gamblers are able to abstain from pathological gambling. As relapses are common among pathological gamblers, this study would like to understand why and how relapses occur. Further, the study would like to understand the factors that motivate and maintain changes. Also, it tries to understand how the identified factors of changes such as interpersonal support, the formation of a new identity and meaning of life, the role of spirituality on gamblers' motivation, their connection with family members, have interacted with one another to constitute change. / Leung, Yuk Ki. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 71-01, Section: A, page: 0334. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2009. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 300-323). / Electronic reproduction.
