CIR Brown Bag - The Effectiveness of Acupuncture in the Treatment of Gulf War Illness: Research Design and Preliminary Data
Presenter(s): Default Presenter
Air Date: 3/6/2012
Air Time: 1:00 PM PST
Duration: 51 Minutes 32 Seconds
Dr. Lisa Conboy, of Harvard Medical School, presents preliminary findings
from her work focused on measuring the efficacy of acupuncture as treatment
of Gulf War Illness (GWI).
GWI is a complex, poorly understood illness characterized by many symptoms
- including fatigue, sleep and mood problems, difficulty concentrating,
difficulty thinking and finding words, and musculoskeletal pain. More than
100,000 of the 700,000 veterans deployed to the Persian Gulf in the first
Gulf War have presented with medical complaints. Affected veterans have
received treatment directed at their symptoms, but at 5- and 10-year
follow-ups, many report their symptoms remain, some of them severe and
disabling. The cause of GWI is unknown, and the symptoms cannot be
explained by physical or laboratory examinations.

Organizational Change by Tom Packard
Presenter(s): Default Presenter
Air Date: 2/23/2012
Air Time: 12:15 PM PST
Duration: 41 Minutes 39 Seconds
Abstract:
Organizational change is a requirement for human service organizations, which are facing demands including funding pressures and increasing performance expectations. Because research on organizational change rarely uses consistent methodologies, and unsuccessful changes are rarely presented, the evidence for prescriptions in the literature must be considered weak. After a brief overview of definitions, theories, and processes of organizational change, results from research on the use of organizational change tactics will be presented. A questionnaire assessing the use of organizational change tactics was administered to staff in a community-based organization serving youth and families. Findings show the extent to which these tactics were used in successful change processes, helping change leaders choose empirically-supported change tactics and guiding future research.
