Abstract	When you use a computer it also uses you, and in that relationship forms a new entity of melded agencies, a "centaur" inseparably human and nonhuman. Networks of interaction in an organization similarly form "organizational centaurs", melding humans, technologies, and organizations into an inseparable sociomateriality. By developing a convex optimization toolkit for conceptual engineering we sought to shape these centaurs. How do organizations go from a high-level concept ("let's make an airplane") to a "design", and in that process what blurred lines between humans and computers bring opportunities for research? We present three metaphors that have been useful lenses across our field sites: considering design models as maps shows how centaurs apportioned legitimacy; looking at design models as mirrors illuminates how they sought validation in their perspectives; and treating design models as participants recognizes their opinions and agency as equivalent to other entities in these centaurs.

Abstract	A journey map is a visual representation of a process undertaken by a person, and is related to product use and human-centered design. Here, we introduce combined (linked) journey mapping techniques and use them to capture a complex system—residential solar panel purchase and installation—from the perspectives of both the homeowner and the installer at the same time. Few studies have analyzed the installer, who we found significantly influences the homeowner's decisions. The advantage of the linked journey map over individual journey maps is that it decreases subjectivity of findings as “pain points” worthy of further study, and modeling can be verified from two or more vantage points. We demonstrate these maps as a semi-formal analytical tool to categorize, parameterize, and unite insights affecting both stakeholders. We gathered data from in-depth interviews with homeowners and installers and built individual journey maps. Then we identified interactions between the two, and merged their two maps to identify points on the journey that create difficulty or frustration. These maps provide comprehensive insight analysis for later surveys and agent-based model creation. We found that post-contract stages were filled with pain points. Both homeowners and installers found the lack of communication between all stakeholders, slow permit processing times and lack of assistance from utilities and housing jurisdictions, and lack of standardization for the permitting process to be painful.

Abstract	The adoption rate of residential solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in the US has grown exponentially in the past two decades. However, from a human-centered design perspective, there is a lack of clear understanding of what current users need and want from solar PV systems and from the experience of installing solar. In this study, we interviewed 18 solar stakeholders and conducted surveys of 1,773 homeowners including both solar adopters and non-adopters in California and Massachusetts. We analyzed the data using discrete choice theory and showed that cost savings, solar system reliability, installer warranty, and reviewer ratings of the installer were the most important factors when these homeowners considered purchasing a solar system. Preference differences were discovered between adopters and non-adopters, and with state, age, and income. Via surveys of current solar adopters’ experiences of installing residential solar panels, we found that solar owners ranked installer reliability as even more important than price. The findings are intended to inform designers, engineers, and manufacturers as they create more compelling residential solar PV systems and to inform installers in designing better installation services. The ultimate goal is to promote renewable energy technology and reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.

Abstract	Disability has been redefined by the World Health Organization as a function of a person's interaction with the environment and not merely an innate part of a person. This redefinition highlights the need for inclusiveness in design solutions. To aid this, we apply and test the potential of different tools that restrict designers' physical abilities at deriving inclusive design perspectives among designers. Various tools and simulated conditions are often adopted in user-centered design to sup-port need-finding by eliciting rich data on users' needs and guide designers to empathize with users. Simulation tools that restrict designers' physical abilities have been applied to understand certain perspectives of people with physical challenges, yet these tools lack the ability to evoke an inclusive design perspective among designers. Through a co-creation workshop, participants were exposed to two forms of simulations: direct and situational physical impairments. This was achieved using different tools that simulate the same physical restriction. In this study, a noise- canceller and earphones were used to simulate a reduced hearing attention. Participants were asked to generate user needs and design functions by applying both the simulation tools. The study results comprise the outcomes of 33 participants who volunteered to participate in a co-design workshop that provided a venue for them to interact and work alongside users with physical challenges. This paper analyses the inclusiveness attained through different types of simulated conditions. With a growing need to create tools and technologies that delight the user, it is necessary to equip designers with the tools that would help them with the process. The study demonstrates the application and impact of one such tool.

Abstract	People experiencing homelessness (PEH) are at disproportionate risk of becoming infected and having severe illness from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), especially when residing in congregate settings like homeless shelters. Behavioral health problems related to substance use disorder (SUD) and severe mental illness (SMI) may have created additional challenges for PEH to practice prevention measures like mask wearing, physical distancing, handwashing, and quarantine and isolation. The study objective was to understand the perceived barriers PEH face regarding COVID-19 non-pharmaceutical prevention strategies and identify recommendations for overcoming barriers. From August-October 2020, qualitative phone interviews with 50 purposively selected behavioral health professionals across the United States serving PEH with SUD or SMI were conducted. Professionals described that PEH faced barriers to prevention that were structural (e.g., access to necessary resources), behavioral (related to SUD or SMI), or related to the priority of other needs. Recommendations to overcome these barriers included providing free prevention resources (e.g., masks and hand sanitizer), providing education about importance of prevention strategies, and prioritizing access to stable housing. Interviews took place before COVID-19 vaccines were available, so barriers to vaccination are not included in this paper. Findings can help support tailored approaches during COVID-19 and future public health threats.

Abstract	The United States is experiencing a syndemic of homelessness, substance use disorder, and mental health conditions, which has been further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Although it is expected that mitigation strategies will curb community transmission of COVID-19, the unintended consequences of social isolation on mental health and substance use are a growing public health concern. Awareness of changing mental health and substance use treatment needs due to the pandemic is critical to understanding what additional services and support are needed during and post-pandemic, particularly among people experiencing homelessness who have pre-existing serious mental illness or substance use disorder. To evaluate these effects and support our understanding of mental health and substance use outcomes of the COVID-19 pandemic, we conducted a qualitative study where behavioral health providers serving people experiencing homelessness described the impact of COVID-19 among their clients throughout the United States. Behavioral health providers shared that experiencing social isolation worsened mental health conditions and caused some people to return to substance use and fatally overdose. However, some changes initiated during the pandemic resulted in positive outcomes, such as increased client willingness to discuss mental health topics. Our findings provide additional evidence that the social isolation experienced during the pandemic has been detrimental to mental health and substance use outcomes, especially for people experiencing homelessness.

Abstract	The COVID-19 pandemic caused disruptions in behavioral health services (BHS), essential for people experiencing homelessness (PEH). BHS changes created barriers to care and opportunities for innovative strategies for reaching PEH. The authors conducted 50 qualitative interviews with behavioral health providers in the USA during August-October 2020 to explore their observations of BHS changes for PEH. Interviews were transcribed and entered into MAXQDA for analysis and to identify salient themes. The largest impact from COVID-19 was the closure or limited hours for BHS and homeless shelters due to mandated "stay-at-home" orders or staff working remotely leading to a disconnection in services and housing linkages. Most providers initiated telehealth services for clients, yielding positive outcomes. Implications for BHS are the need for long-term strategies, such as advances in communication technology to support BHS and homeless services and to ensure the needs of underserved populations are met during public health emergencies.
