Table of Figures. Figure 1: Visual Representation of a Discussion Board 12 Figure 2: Sampling Breakdown 14 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION The United States is currently facing an opioid epidemic. A 200% increase in deaths caused by opioids occurred between 2000 and 2014.1 One reason for this is the increase in the number of prescriptions written by physicians for opioids.2 Between 1991 and 2010, the number of opioid prescriptions in the United States increased from 76 million to 210 million.3 In 1991 there were approximately 0.30 opioid prescriptions per person and in 2010 there were approximately 0.68 opioid prescriptions per person.3,4 Social support, which is part of the Social Network Theory, has been linked with positive health outcomes.5-7 There are four types of social support: informational support, emotional support, instrumental support and appraisal support.5 Past research has shown that these types of social support can be found on online discussion boards, which are defined as “a website or section of a website that is used for public discussion of a specific topic and on which users can submit or read messages,” and have been used to further understand various public health outcomes.6-8

The focus on a global perspective crosses the boundaries of discipline, and at many schools is inherent to the mission of the institution itself (Columbia University, n.d.; Duke University, n.d.; Emory University, n.d.; Georgetown University, n.d.; Yale University, n.d.). It is only natural that universities across the country are experiencing consistent growth in the numbers of international students and scholars coming to study, work, research, and in many cases, return home with new knowledge to enhance their communities. Schools of Public Health are seeing the same trends in international engagement. This is likely a reflection of the values of the field as a whole: the vision of the American Public Health Association (APHA) is “A Healthy Global Society” (American Public Health Association, 2013), while the Society for Public Health Education (SoPHE) has a vision of “A healthy world through health education” (Society for Public Health Education, n.d.). To this end, Schools of Public Health in the United States have a vested interest in supporting international education and exchange. The importance of a diverse education is included in the Council on Education for Public Health’s (CEPH) accreditation requirements, which states that “The school shall demonstrate a commitment to diversity and shall evidence an ongoing practice of cultural competence in learning, research, and service practices” (Council on Education for Public Health, 2013). The criteria includes a requirement for a written plan for promoting diversity within its faculty, staff and student body, as well as an overall focus on cultural competency. At the degree level, the MPH Core Competency Model includes diversity and culture as one of the interdisciplinary/cross-cutting components of an MPH program (Association of School...
