    Cocreating Culturally Responsive Resources With Communities Using Design-Based Implementation Research: The Challenges of Online Research
    (SAGE Research Methods, 2022-03) Garcia, Silvia; Wolfe, Devin; Fox, Sarah; Gil, Cindy; King, Gloria; Colgan, Susana
    This case study highlights the methodological and practical implications of modifying an investigation with community partners to fit an online format. Research interactions took place between November 2020 and June 2021, under the social distancing restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Twelve Latinx parents/caregivers participated in co-designing culturally relevant college and career readiness resources for Latinx families. A research partnership of two school faculty and a community partner collaborating with university faculty, staff, and students led the study using design-based implementation research (DBIR) as the primary methodological approach. The means of communication and resource sharing with parents were Zoom videoconferencing, WhatsApp text messaging, social media, and phone calls. Parents also received printed materials sent through students attending school under a hybrid modality (face-to-face and online classes). The use of online environments posed challenges in getting participants fully engaged in the co-design process. Some parents lacked technological skills or access to adequate technology, leading to communication barriers in some cases. The implementation phase, a significant component of DBIR, could not be achieved online. This case is about the strategies put forward by the research team to overcome the restrictive research conditions, the adaptations made throughout the process to facilitate community engagement, and lessons learned. It is an invitation to think about the implications of the decisions made by the research team and reflect on creative solutions to address the challenges faced.

    Exploring Social Justice, Design,and HCI
    (ACM, 2016-05) Fox, Sarah; Asad, Mariam; Lo, Katherine; Dimond, Jill; Dombrowski, Lynn; Bardzell, Shaowen; Human-Centered Computing, School of Informatics and Computing
    The aim of this one-day workshop is to share existing research, discuss common practices, and to develop new strategies and tools for designing for social justice in HCI. This workshop will bring together a set of HCI scholars, designers, and community members to discuss social justice perspectives on interaction design and technology. We will explore theoretical and methodological approaches in and around HCI that can help us generatively consider issues of power, privilege, and access in their complexity. We will discuss the challenges associated with taking a justice approach in HCI, looking toward existing practices we find both productive and problematic. This workshop will bridge current gaps in research and practice by developing concrete strategies for both designing and evaluating social change oriented work in HCI, where agendas are made clear and researchers are held accountable for the outcomes of their work by members of their field site and the research community.

    Guia para Padres: Opciones al finalizar la escuela secundaria
    (2021-07) Garcia, Silvia; Colgan, Susana; Fox, Sarah; Gil, Cindy; King, Gloria; Wolf, Devin; Ness, Morgan
    This Parent’s Guide was produced in collaboration with a group of mothers and fathers of the Newcomer Program of the Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) who participated in online meetings and activities between September 2020 and June 2021. During the meetings, the parents shared their hopes and dreams about their children's future and their questions and concerns about how to find resources and information to achieve those dreams. The guide was co-developed in response to the information needs raised by parents during the meetings.

    Social Justice-Oriented Interaction Design: Outlining Key Design Strategies and Commitments
    (ACM, 2016-06) Dombrowski, Lynn; Harmon, Ellie; Fox, Sarah; Department of Human-Centered Computing, School of Informatics and Computing
    In recent years, many HCI designers have begun pursuing research agendas that address large scale social issues. These systemic or "wicked" problems present challenges for design practice due to their scope, scale, complexity, and political nature. In this paper, we develop a social justice orientation to designing for such challenges. We highlight a breadth of design strategies that target the goals of social justice along six dimensions -- transformation, recognition, reciprocity, enablement, distribution, and accountability -- and elaborate three commitments necessary to developing a social justice oriented design practice -- a commitment to conflict, a commitment to reflexivity, and a commitment to personal ethics and politics. Although there are no easy solutions to systemic social issues, a social justice orientation provides one way to foster an engagement with the thorny political issues that are increasingly acknowledged as crucial to a field that is not just about technological possibility, but also about political responsibility.

    Traumatic Brain Injury as an Independent Predictor of Futility in the Early Resuscitation of Patients in Hemorrhagic Shock
    (MDPI, 2024-07-03) Al-Fadhl, Mahmoud D.; Karam, Marie Nour; Chen, Jenny; Zackariya, Sufyan K.; Lain, Morgan C.; Bales, John R.; Higgins, Alexis B.; Laing, Jordan T.; Wang, Hannah S.; Andrews, Madeline G.; Thomas, Anthony V.; Smith, Leah; Fox, Mark D.; Zackariya, Saniya K.; Thomas, Samuel J.; Tincher, Anna M.; Al-Fadhl, Hamid D.; Weston, May; Marsh, Phillip L.; Khan, Hassaan A.; Thomas, Emmanuel J.; Miller, Joseph B.; Bailey, Jason A.; Koenig, Justin J.; Waxman, Dan A.; Srikureja, Daniel; Fulkerson, Daniel H.; Fox, Sarah; Bingaman, Greg; Zimmer, Donald F.; Thompson, Mark A.; Bunch, Connor M.; Walsh, Mark M.; Futile Indicators for Stopping Transfusion in Trauma (FISTT) Collaborative Group; Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, School of Medicine
    This review explores the concept of futility timeouts and the use of traumatic brain injury (TBI) as an independent predictor of the futility of resuscitation efforts in severely bleeding trauma patients. The national blood supply shortage has been exacerbated by the lingering influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the number of blood donors available, as well as by the adoption of balanced hemostatic resuscitation protocols (such as the increasing use of 1:1:1 packed red blood cells, plasma, and platelets) with and without early whole blood resuscitation. This has underscored the urgent need for reliable predictors of futile resuscitation (FR). As a result, clinical, radiologic, and laboratory bedside markers have emerged which can accurately predict FR in patients with severe trauma-induced hemorrhage, such as the Suspension of Transfusion and Other Procedures (STOP) criteria. However, the STOP criteria do not include markers for TBI severity or transfusion cut points despite these patients requiring large quantities of blood components in the STOP criteria validation cohort. Yet, guidelines for neuroprognosticating patients with TBI can require up to 72 h, which makes them less useful in the minutes and hours following initial presentation. We examine the impact of TBI on bleeding trauma patients, with a focus on those with coagulopathies associated with TBI. This review categorizes TBI into isolated TBI (iTBI), hemorrhagic isolated TBI (hiTBI), and polytraumatic TBI (ptTBI). Through an analysis of bedside parameters (such as the proposed STOP criteria), coagulation assays, markers for TBI severity, and transfusion cut points as markers of futilty, we suggest amendments to current guidelines and the development of more precise algorithms that incorporate prognostic indicators of severe TBI as an independent parameter for the early prediction of FR so as to optimize blood product allocation.
