Differentiating Physical Discipline from Abuse: A Comparison

of Chinese American Mothers and Mandated Nurse Reporters

of Abuse

The trajectory of STTI /ANF scholars provide a

focused snapshot of the development and evolvement

of research that has influenced healthcare policy.

The track record of STII/ANF Scholars with regard to

the continuation of their research with NIH and other

funding and impact on health care policy is

noteworthy.

These exemplars are a testimony to the value of seed

money for nursing research and their ultimate

contribution to nursing science

Conclusions

Conclusions

Only two STTI/ANF scholars were international with

both from Canada

One STTI/ANF is at the University of Cairo

The recipient for the 2012 STTI/ANF grant is from

Hong Kong and focusing on Chinese Americans view

of physical discipline.

ANF (When a study involves human subjects, IRB

approval from a US university or agency or country of

origin is required; if applicable, from each site where
