Ascension St. Vincent Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital’s Mobile Dental Clinic receives a $50,000 donation.

EVANSVILLE, IND.- Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital (PMCH) is delighted to announce a generous donation of $50,000 from the Vanderburgh County Commissioners Office. This substantial contribution will be directed towards bolstering the essential work of the Dental Clinic at PMCH. The dedicated team aboard our dental unit is committed to providing children and teens in the Greater Evansville area with access to vital preventative and diagnostic care and necessary treatments.

Since its inception in 2000, the Dental Clinic has grown to serve approximately 1,600 children annually, extending its reach to 47 different locations, including 34 schools within the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation. The clinic’s unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality dental care has positively impacted the lives of countless young individuals in our community.

The Ascension St. Vincent Dental Clinic has been a steadfast provider of dental care and oral health education to children for over two decades, with a particular focus on the poor and vulnerable, who may not have access to essential services otherwise. Our program works tirelessly to eliminate barriers to treatment, such as insurance, transportation, and limited services in certain counties. A significant proportion of our patients are underserved children enrolled in Medicaid and/or Hoosier Healthwise. Through regular utilization of the clinic, the cost of treatment decreases, showcasing the positive impact of our consistent presence.

“We are immensely grateful to the Vanderburgh County Commissioners Office for their generous donation,” says Dr. John Anoskey, DDS, Dental Clinic dentist. “The Clinic would not be able to provide this life-changing care without the support of generous community donors. Through their support, children without access to dental care will be afforded the chance to smile, laugh, and eat without the pain from dental decay.”

“We are proud to support the outstanding work of the Ascension St. Vincent Dental Clinic at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital,” says Cheryl Musgrave, Vanderburgh County Commissioner. “This donation reflects our commitment to the health and well-being of the children in our community, and we are confident that it will make a meaningful impact in their lives.”

Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital extends its deepest gratitude to the Vanderburgh County Commissioners Office for their generous contribution, undoubtedly enhancing the accessibility of vital dental care for children in need.

Counting Every Voice: Understanding Hard-to-Count and Historically Undercounted Populations

Counting Every Voice: Understanding Hard-to-Count and Historically Undercounted Populations
Written by: Deborah Stempowski, Associate Director for Decennial Census Programs

 

In a world driven by data, accurate population counts form the foundation for informed decision-making. As the U.S. Census Bureau prepares for the crucial task of counting our population in the next census, it’s imperative to shine a spotlight on the people and households that we have the most difficulty enumerating. In our efforts to develop the best methods to do just that, we have found it essential to conceptualize two population groups: the hard-to-count (HTC) populations, and, a critical subset of those, the historically undercounted populations (HUPs).

These are two distinct concepts that mean different things. Following recommendations received from stakeholders, we recognized that these terms are commonly misunderstood, sometimes used interchangeably and often used differently than we intend. By sharing how we at the Census Bureau distinguish between the two and how it leads to improved, more relevant approaches, I hope we can have more productive discussions and engagements.

In this blog, I’ll clarify how the Census Bureau defines HTC populations and HUPs. I’ll also explore why certain communities are harder to enumerate and how we are working to address underrepresentation in the count through our 2030 Census research.

Hard-to-Count Populations

We refer to a population as HTC when our traditional methods of counting may not be sufficient to fully include them in the census. Understanding the needs helps us identify how we need to adapt to count everyone.

When describing a population as HTC, the Census Bureau considers a framework that places HTC populations and their households into four segments:

  • Hard to locate. People who live in homes that are not currently on the Census Bureau’s list of addresses as well as people who want to remain hidden.
  • Hard to contact. People who are highly mobile, are experiencing homelessness, or for whom physical access barriers prevent contact, such as in gated communities.
  • Hard to persuade. People who are suspicious of the government or have low levels of civic engagement.
  • Hard to interview. People whose participation is hindered by language barriers, low literacy, health issues, or technological barriers (e.g., lack of internet access).

It’s important to note that some populations may fall into one, more than one, or all four segments of the HTC populations framework.

Examples of people who may fall into one or more categories of HTC populations include (but are not limited to):

  • Young children.
  • Racial and ethnic minorities.
  • People who speak languages other than English.
  • Low-income populations.
  • Undocumented immigrants.
  • People who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning/queer.
  • People with disabilities.
  • People who do not live in traditional housing.

We’ve identified these groups as hard to count because the Census Bureau acknowledges these challenges to counting everyone accurately. This framework helps us understand the challenges, explore them through research, and then adapt our approaches to reach these populations.

We have tried to overcome these challenges in a wide variety of ways, such as working with local governments to update our address list, partnering with trusted community leaders to encourage response, providing content in numerous languages, and providing multiple ways to respond. More information about the HTC framework and examples of how we tried to reach everyone in 2020 are available in the appendix of the 2020 Census Operational Plan.

Historically Undercounted Populations

Now I’d like to shift focus to discussing a critical subset of the HTC — historically undercounted populations. For this population, we restrict the definition to those we can measure in our decennial quality assessments and therefore have census coverage data available for them. To identify these groups, we use a more technical definition that considers data from official measures of coverage, such as estimates from the Post-Enumeration Survey (PES) and Demographic Analysis, or other appropriately validated and reviewed research.

The PES and Demographic Analysis each develop estimates of the size of the total U.S. population and certain demographic groups. We then compare those independent estimates to the census counts. If the census count is lower than the PES or Demographic Analysis estimate, we call that a “net undercount.”

Using these coverage estimates, we define HUPs as populations with a definitive net undercount over time.

For example, according to the PES conducted for the 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2020 Censuses, the following groups have been persistently undercounted:

  • The Black or African American population.
  • The American Indian and Alaska Native population living on reservations.
  • People who indicate that they are some other race than the categories offered.
  • The Hispanic or Latino population.
  • Young children, ages 0-4.
  • Renters.
  • Males, ages 18-29 and ages 30-49.

Distinct but Connected

Given these distinct definitions, it’s important to note that the terms HUPs and HTC are not interchangeable. Again, HTC is an umbrella term, while HUPs are a subset of the HTC populations. Both provide useful lenses upon which to conduct specific research and planning for the 2030 Census.

In other words, not all HTC populations are historically undercounted. While we may have challenges locating, contacting, persuading or interviewing members of a group, we may not consider the group an historically undercounted population because:

  • We haven’t measured a definitive undercount — or we’ve sometimes even measured an overcount — across censuses. For example, while we may have challenges accurately counting members of the Asian population, they are not consistently undercounted in aggregate statistics. The PES did not measure a statistically significant undercount for the Asian population in 2010 and measured an overcount in 2020. However, we may still need to make additional effort to ensure that we accurately count the Asian population as a whole.
  • We have not measured coverage for the population group. Groups may be undercounted but currently we have insufficient data for measurement.

As it becomes more challenging to locate individuals, connect with them, and ask for their participation through traditional methods, we are dedicated to understanding the needs of populations who have historically been undercounted or are hard to count. We want to overcome barriers to participation to ensure that everyone living in the United States is counted in the census.

Several of our 2030 Census research projects primarily focus on reaching, motivating and accurately counting hard-to-count and historically undercounted populations, and many more projects include research on these populations as a component. To learn more about research on HUPs and HTC populations, check out the latest blog from Director Robert Santos, “How an Interwoven Research Agenda Will Help Us Enumerate Historically Undercounted People in the 2030 Census.”

By the way, while much of our research for the 2030 Census is focused on addressing undercounts, many of these same research projects have the side benefit of addressing issues related to overcounts. For example, one of our enhancement areas is dedicated to real-time data processing, which will help us identify and resolve duplications in real time.

Final Thoughts

The importance of reaching HTC populations and HUPs cannot be overstated. The same is true of understanding and using these definitional concepts for effective research and planning for the 2030 Census. Counting HTC populations and HUPs is essential to our mission of serving as the nation’s leading provider of quality data about its people and economy. As we strive for a more inclusive future as a nation, let us endeavor to ensure that every voice is heard and that every person is counted. We welcome and appreciate your ongoing engagement in this effort.

As Director Santos said: “There is much research, testing and learning that lie ahead, and we’ll continue to communicate with you about our preparations.” It is crucial to gather a broad and varied range of perspectives to formulate the most effective strategy for the upcoming 2030 Census.

UE Volleyball defeats Racers to complete weekend sweep

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Another efficient performance across the board saw the University of Evansville volleyball team complete its home season with a 3-1 triumph inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse on Saturday evening.

Giulia Cardona finished the night with a match-high 26 kills.  She added eight digs, five service aces and two blocks.  Melanie Feliciano completed the match with 19 kills along with eight digs and three aces of her own.  Ainoah Cruz led the way with 14 digs while Kora Ruff tallied 46 assists and 10 digs.  Madisyn Steele got the job done on the block, recording four block assists.  Four Racers finished with double figure kills, led by Haidi Miliou’s 15.

Following the contest, seniors Emilee Scheumann and Brooke Springer were honored on their Senior Day.  Scheumann tallied six kills and four digs while Springer had three total blocks in her final home match.

Game 1 – UE 25, Murray State 20

With the score tied at 3-3, Evansville scored five of the next six points to open an 8-4 lead.  Giulia Cardona capped off the run with consecutive service aces.  The third kill of the night by Cardona pushed the lead to 10-5.  Murray State pushed back, making it a 1-point game when an Ella Vogel kill cut the deficit to 11-10.

Melanie Feliciano picked up an ace and Emilee Scheumann followed with a kill to give the Aces some breathing room with a 15-11 edge.  The second ace from Feliciano capped off a 6-0 run that extended the advantage to 18-11 and the Aces would take the set by a 25-20 final.

Game 2 – Murray State 25, UE 15

Murray State took control from the start as a pair of Darci Metzger aces gave them a 7-1 lead.  Feliciano picked up a kill for UE’s second point of the set, but the Racers kept the pressure on and would not let the Aces within six points for the duration of the frame, taking a 25-15 win to tie the match.

Game 3 – UE 25, Murray State 23

Madisyn Steele opened the third game with a kill and Evansville proceeded to open a 5-2 lead.  The Racers stormed their way back with five in a row to go up 7-5 before extending the lead to 10-6.  Evansville got back on track with a 5-0 run with Cardona doing most of the damage.  Two kills and an ace from the junior put her team back in front.

In the next sequence, it was Murray State who retook control as they wrestled away a 17-14 lead.  The back-and-forth action continued with Evansville jumping back in front at 21-18 with Maddie Hawkins posting the ace as part of a 5-0 rally.  The Racers closed the gap to one (23-22) but a huge block by Scheumann and Steele helped the Aces clinch the set and retake a 2-1 match lead.

Game 4 – UE 25, Murray State 21

Following two Racer points to open the set, Evansville reeled off six in a row to jump out to a 6-2 advantage.  Kora Ruff notched a kill during the stretch.  Feliciano recorded her third ace of the night to push the lead to 11-4.  Murray State never gave up and pulled back within two points thanks to a 5-0 run that cut the UE lead to 12-10.

Scheumann and Feliciano registered kills that pushed the lead back to 16-12.  The Racers remained within shouting distance, getting with a pair (21-19) in the late moments, but the Aces held strong to clinch the match.

A trip to Indiana State completes the season for the Purple Aces.  They head to Terre Haute on Wednesday for a 5 p.m. CT contest.

No. 6 Trailblazers pick up early season statement win over No. 25 Monroe College

0

VINCENNES, Ind. – The No. 6-ranked Vincennes University Trailblazers closed out another big weekend of games with an early season NJCAA Division I Top-25 matchup with the No. 25-ranked Monroe College Mustangs from New Rochelle, New York in the final game of the 2023 McDonald’s Classic.

The Trailblazers got off to an excellent start Saturday night, breaking away early in the first half with an 11-0 scoring run to take a 15-5 lead.

VU would use another 10-0 scoring run later in the first half to increase their lead to 20 at 28-8 midway through the opening period.

Monroe would slowly chip away at this deficit and look to close the margin before halftime, with the Mustangs using a 9-0 scoring run of their own to cut the VU lead to 10 and head into halftime with the score 40-30.

Vincennes looked to again make an early statement in the second half, outscoring Monroe 9-2 to begin the half to take a 17-point lead, before Monroe would answer with another 9-0 scoring run to cut the lead back down to single digits at 51-43.

The game of runs continued with VU using a 14-3 scoring run to take a 65-46 lead.

This time, the VU would lead would hold, with the Trailblazers holding strong down the stretch to finish off the 84-66 victory over No. 25 Monroe College.

“I thought we were really good defensively early,” VU Hall of Fame Head Coach Todd Franklin said. “We thought they would play zone. I didn’t think they boxed out really good if we ran some positive action, broke them down some and then shot it. If we missed it, we felt like we could get on the offensive glass and I thought early you saw that.”

“We were able to get stops and we were doing a good job on the offensive glass,” Franklin added. “Then we hit a couple of shots and were able to expand it. They got back into the game. They started playing harder and better. But we missed some free throws too. We had a stretch of eight points we could have earned at the line and we only got one after missing front ends of one-and-ones. So it wasn’t so much that they were stopping us during that time, we stopped ourselves and the next thing you know they’ve hit a couple of shots and they start feeling good. Well, we let them. But that’s just the ebb and flow of games and early in the year.”

“From the negative side, we were 21 of 33 from the line and a number of those were front ends of the bonus,” Franklin said. “So we probably had 40 points out there that we got 21 out of and that was part of why we didn’t put them away. But that’s part of being early in the year and sometimes when you are playing these games, you are playing really hard, it’s hard to go to that line and make that shot until you really get into that game condition. So, I’ll give them a little bit of a pass on that, as long as they are in the gym working on it all the time. If you’re not, then we go the other way.”

“But I thought it was a good effort by us,” Franklin added. “Early in the year against a good team, a top-20 team. A team that’s going to throw all of those different looks at you. That’s about as hard of a thing to deal with as there is early in the year. We could stop them if we stayed disciplined. But it’s really hard to stay that disciplined this early in the year and I thought we did. They had 66 points, with a lot of free throws at the end. We had a few breakdowns offensively that led to buckets by them that really weren’t against our defense. We probably could have easily held them under 60 tonight and that’s a heck of an achievement.”

The Trailblazers were led offensively by a big night by freshman Lebron Thomas (Bishopville, S.C.) who finished with 20 points, nine assists, seven rebounds and three steals.

Sophomore Karyiek Dixon (Enfield, London, UK) got the Blazers going early on the offensive glass, finishing with 18 points and 12 rebounds, with 11 points and eight rebounds coming in the first half.

Sophomore Ryan Oliver (Antioch, Tenn.) helped the Trailblazers close out the win with a big second half, scoring 13 of his 15 points in the final 20 minute period.

Sophomore Kris King (Washington, D.C.) was the fourth VU scorer in double figures, finishing his night with 12 points and four assists.

Sophomore Michael Osei-Bonsu (Bolingbrook, Ill.) just missed out on another double double, finishing with nine points, eight rebounds and coming up with three big steals.

“I thought Karyiek Dixon was really good,” Franklin said. “Especially in the first half, getting on the glass. He made plays and he’s added the aspect of being able to step out and hit a shot when he takes the right one and people will have to honor that. They will have to guard him. Because he’s a good shooter when he takes the right one. He’s not going to take bad ones and if he does, then it’s a problem. But when he takes good ones, he’s very capable of hitting it. There’s not mirage to that.”

“This is a quality win,” Franklin added. “We had a lot of guys step up. Lebron had to play at less than 100-percent this weekend. It’s a big weekend for us and our team and he gutted through it and did a good job. It’s hard, he’s having to guard those quick guards that are going to keep attacking you.”

“I thought Michael had a good weekend,” Franklin said. “Rebounding and strong. It was harder for him to get as many points tonight, he got in foul trouble and the zone was around him. But I thought he played well.”

“Across the board, I thought we had some good minutes from Mathieu,” Franklin added. “He came in and he’s going to get more minutes as he gets better defensively and gets more solid against those. That’s a tough game to play and we probably should have played him more. And we will if he continues. He’s a freshman and we’ve got freshmen, him, Gerard, Damarien is getting a good chance right now, Alphonse and Vilhelm are hurt. We’ve got some freshmen that have some real potential. But they are going to be a lot better players if they work at it here for another two or three months. So I think we’ll see the best of them later on.”

“We are no where near where we can be,” Franklin said. “The sophomores are really learning how to be the guy and that’s different. I think Ryan has been scuffling and struggling until the second half. There was some challenging at halftime and I meant it. It’s time to push the buttons, he responded and you see what happened. If you let it loose instead of holding it in and being worried or tentative. Hey, we’re here to play and that’s the message I give all the time. I don’t know if people know that but that’s the message. You should know the job and then we are going to do the heck out of it. And I thought that’s what he did in the second half and he’s a pretty good player in the second half.”

The Trailblazers now turn their attentions to another busy week at the Physical Education Complex, where the Blazers will host three games in five days this coming week.

VU gets the week started against Kankakee Community College Tuesday, Nov. 14 at 7 p.m. eastern, before facing Malcolm X College Thursday, Nov. 16 at 7 p.m. eastern.

The Blazers will then close out the week Saturday, Nov. 18 with another top-25 showdown, this time against No. 14-ranked Indian Hills Community College. Tip-off time Saturday is 7 p.m. and will is Homecoming night for Vincennes University.

“The more guys we get to cross that threshold, we’re going to get better,” Franklin added. “We are pretty good right now, obviously. We are one of the better teams in the country right now. We’ve seen other good teams and play them. It doesn’t even matter where you are ranked with them right now or where you because it’s about how much better do you get.”

“But we’re in the mix,” Franklin said. “We’re in the race to be one of the best teams at the end of the year. That’s what we talked about in the locker room. It’s just, are we going to totally commit to this thing over the next four months. Stay away from the stuff you really need to stay away from, come in here and work. Really push and challenge yourself everyday because it’s not easy. It’s hard. But man, you’ve got a great opportunity and I think this team has an opportunity.”

“I’m proud of them,” Franklin added. “I thought they played hard this weekend. I thought they played tough for this time of year and I thought we got contributions from a lot of guys. We’ll see if we can handle prosperity now. Quick turnaround and play against a probably undefeated Kankakee team, who had a quality win over Lincoln Trail. So we know what level they are, we are able to gauge that. They beat Lincoln Trail by 10, so we know they are a Region level squad coming in here. And Region-level teams are extremely dangerous and we’ve got to have a turnaround here after a high like tonight to quickly get it turned around by Tuesday, we’ll see about our maturity from that end.”
