The ASTROMOVES project captures the career decision-making of astrophysicists and those in adjacent sciences, with particular attention to ‘intersectional’ identities, sex/gender diversity and visible/invisible disabilities. Qualitative interviews were recorded online (due to the Pandemic) and each scientist was assigned an Indigenous Hawaiian pseudonym. This was a subversive move to remind astrophysicists of the enormous debt they owe to the Hawaiian people for the use of their sacred mountain tops. All of the scientists consented to having a Hawaiian name. Seven scientists chose their own pseudonyms, most were Hawaiian place names: Maui, Waikiki, Waiheke, and Holualoa. Two Brazilians likewise chose Indigenous place names: Caramuru and Paraguaçu. The last name chosen was Kū'oko'a. Kū'oko'a is the Hawaiian concept of freedom, of which I was unaware. When questioned by editors, I had to evoke my Oahu birth as my right to use Hawaiian pseudonyms. For my visualizations, I chose to not use the Mercator projection which artificially enlarges Europe, instead I use the Peters projection or equal area map. Thus, Europe is de-emphasized by showing its area relative to the rest of the world.

The policy defines what an Institute for Mental Disorders is and and payment exclusions for those under medicaid (<21 or 22 y/o or >65 y/o).

I really don't know how to find this information. I can update this after asking you about it tomorrow.

This is a calfornia department of health document, therefore it appears to apply specifically to that states definition of an IMD.

It appears that is is an expanded version of the document created orginally in order to facilitate changes in the treatment of mental health and better define what an IMD needs and is.

It defines and provides provisions for Intitutes of Mental Disorders where public mental health would be addressed. It also allows for pay exclusion to those of certain ages, allowing for more treatment to those that may be more at-risk.

Vulnerable populations for mental health issues seem to be covered by pay exclusion. Those younger than 21 or 22 are included, which appear to be the most at-risk for mental illness.

I could barely find anything on this in particular. In general, there have been more and more support for a stronger mental health system in the United States and while this policy furthers development, some people believe that there is much more that is needed.

It defines where we would take psych transports. Otherwise it does not directly address first responders.

This policy was established in 1965 and set down protocols for the Medicaid program. The medicaid program provides funding for medical and health related services to people who have a limited income. This policy specifically denotes what defines an institution, determining whether or not an institution is IMD and other aspect such as ages, costs and the definition of IMD are also set forth. Ultimately proving to set parameters and expectancies to those people and institutions that find themselves operating within this policy or referencing it.
