Abstract Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations. The purpose of this study is to explore factors that may influence student success in a graduate clinical neuroscience course using a survey. Success in a neuroscience course may be supported with prior science coursework and additional resources such as a tutor, visuals, and other supplementary materials. OT and physical therapy programs may consider implementing a neuroscience course that provides additional resources in order to facilitate student success. Primary Author and Speaker: Cassie A.

Abstract Date Presented 04/13/21 This study assesses reliability and accuracy of the Head Control Scale (HCS) when used by inexperienced raters. Physical therapy and OT students used the HCS to rate five videotaped pediatric subjects. The kappa coefficient for interrater reliability among students was "almost perfect" (>.80). In one subscale, when comparing student raters with clinicians, there was strong agreement in grading between each group. The HCS may be consistently used by both new and experienced raters.

Screening Services

<span lang="EN-US">Globally, cervical cancer continues to be a major cause of mortality and morbidity among women with developing countries accounting for more than 86% of the deaths from the disease. In Kenya, cervical cancer ranks as the second most frequent cancer among women: regrettably, with 80% of the cases presented during the late stages of the disease when the scope of successful treatment is limited. An opportunity to prevent occurrence of cervical cancer exists through cervical cancer screening for early detection and treatment of precancerous lesions before these develop to cancer. However, only a negligible proportion of women benefit from cervical cancer screening services in developing countries, including Kenya. The purpose of this descriptive survey study was to determine the factors influencing utilization of cervical cancer screening services; and focused on the women seeking maternal and family planning services at Central Provincial General Hospital, Kenya. The study established that, as in most developing countries, utilization of cervical cancer screening services was low, regardless of the women’s education level, autonomy in decision making and even good family support. The low level of awareness on the need for screening services and the long waiting time at the clinic for those seeking the services were identified as the two key issues that negatively influenced the utilization of the screening services, It is therefore recommended that the Ministry of Health and other agencies, including individuals of good will, collaborate in designing and implementing awareness campaigns through the media and other appropriate avenues, including one-to-one encounters, targeting both men and women in the communities. It is also recommended that the male partners support their women in accessing this vital life-saving service.</span>

Abstract Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations. As more educational programs transition to online and hybrid programming, there is a need to explore longer term outcomes of graduates of these programs. This mixed-methods survey study compared characteristics and perceptions of hybrid- and on-campus-pathway graduates from an entry-level OT program. Overall results indicated that both groups of graduates are similar in all areas, suggesting hybrid education is a suitable educational delivery model for OT students.
