Barrett, The Honors College Thesis/Creative Project Collection
Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University proudly showcases the work of undergraduate honors students by sharing this collection exclusively with the ASU community.
Barrett accepts high performing, academically engaged undergraduate students and works with them in collaboration with all of the other academic units at Arizona State University. All Barrett students complete a thesis or creative project which is an opportunity to explore an intellectual interest and produce an original piece of scholarly research. The thesis or creative project is supervised and defended in front of a faculty committee. Students are able to engage with professors who are nationally recognized in their fields and committed to working with honors students. Completing a Barrett thesis or creative project is an opportunity for undergraduate honors students to contribute to the ASU academic community in a meaningful way.
The aim of this project is to create a trifold pamphlet that can raise awareness of female Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity/Impulsivity Disorder (ADHD). ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that has three types: inattentive type, hyperactive type, and combined type. Female individuals with ADHD can present their symptoms slightly differently than males with ADHD. Additionally females with ADHD are typically underdiagnosed and therefore go untreated for their ADHD. Females with ADHD show more emotional problems and comorbid internalizing disorders than males with ADHD show.

The aim of this project was to identify current trends in organ transplant trafficking to build upon a Mayo Clinic internship in which I conducted research and published an article: “A Scoping Review of Labor and Organ Trafficking Resources for U.S. Healthcare Professionals” in the Journal of Human Trafficking. Healthcare professionals need to be educated on the underreported problem of organ trafficking in the United States and awareness needs to be spread. Due to the lack of research available in the United States on organ trafficking for healthcare professionals, I attempted to find international sources and to make suggestions on how awareness can be created. The research pointed out problems in the United States, such as doctor-patient confidently that make it difficult to track the issue. A major theme was discovered on transplant tourism, which is where wealthy individuals from the U.S. and other developed countries travel to third-world countries to take advantage of vulnerable individuals, who may be victims of organ trafficking.
This Creative Thesis is a popularization on the subject of Dark Patterns. Dark Patterns are deceptive functionality implemented online by developers seeking to manipulate users and benefit from their misfortune. They work by using psychological techniques to influence a user’s behavior, like by toying with a user’s emotion. I hope to spread the knowledge of Dark Patterns to as many people as possible. Once people know how Dark Patterns work, Dark Patterns will not be effective on them anymore.
