Uptake of Covid-19 Vaccination Among Frontline Workers in California State Prisons
This cohort study of California state prison custody and health care staff found that vaccination uptake plateaued at levels that posed ongoing risks of further outbreaks in the prisons and continuing transmission from prisons to surrounding communities. Prison staff decisions to forgo vaccination appear to be multifactorial, and vaccine mandates may be necessary to achieve adequate levels of immunity in this high-risk setting
The Political and Judicial Battles Over Mask Mandates for Schools
If there is one image that encapsulates the bitter clashes over COVID-19 policy in the US, it is surely the face mask.1,2 Schools have become ground zero in ongoing battles over whether the US public must mask up
School Reopenings and the Community During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Few issues in the policy response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have inspired as impassioned debate as school reopening. There is broad agreement that school closures involve heavy burdens on students, parents, and the economy, with profound equity implications, but also that the risk of outbreaks cannot be eliminated even in a partial reopening scenario with in-school precautions. Consensus largely ends there, however: the …
Inequalities in socio-economic characteristics and health and wellbeing of men with and without disabilities
Adult men with disabilities experience marked social and economic disadvantage and poorer health and wellbeing. Improving the health and wellbeing of disabled men should be a priority for public health researchers and policy-makers
The Australian longitudinal study on male health-methods
Ten to Men is a unique resource for investigating male health and wellbeing. Wave 1 data are available for approved research projects
Being in Community
Sociality and a Proposed Analyticfor Investigating Communal Being-Ness
This paper thinks about ourselves as communal beings, tied together and created by common actions of sociality. The perspective presented here stems from what Wills (this issue) terms the Aristotelian position that community is always with us, but it tries to move beyond that simple statement, to ask questions, and propose answers to the question of how: how is community always with us? Embedded in that question of course are others: what are the…
Making the Case for Health-Enhancing Laws after Bloomberg

What happens to coroners’ recommendations for improving public health and safety? Organisational responses under a mandatory response regime in Victoria, Australia
Only a third of coroners' recommendations were implemented by the organisations to which they were directed. In drawing policy lessons, it is important to separate recommendations that were rejected from those in which action had already been taken. Rejected recommendations raise questions about the quality of the recommendations, the reasonableness of the organisation's response, or both. Supplanted recommendations focus attention on the adequac…
Does Litigation Increase or Decrease Health Care Quality
BACKGROUND: The tort system is supposed to help improve the quality and safety of health care, but whether it actually does so is controversial. Most previous studies modeling the effect of negligence litigation on quality of care are ecologic. OBJECTIVE: To assess whether the experience of being sued and incurring litigation costs affects the quality of care subsequently delivered in nursing homes. RESEARCH DESIGN, SUBJECTS, MEASURES: We linked …

Relationship Between Malpractice Litigation Pressure and Rates of Cesarean Section and Vaginal Birth After Cesarean Section
BACKGROUND: Since the 1990s, nationwide rates of vaginal birth after cesarean section (VBAC) have decreased sharply and rates of cesarean section have increased sharply. Both trends are consistent with clinical behavior aimed at reducing obstetricians' exposure to malpractice litigation. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the effects of malpractice pressure on rates of VBAC and cesarean section. RESEARCH DESIGN, SUBJECTS, MEASURES: We used state-level longit…

Conceptualising Community
Community is the dark shadow of sociology - an issue around which sociologists always duck and dive. This book examines the reasons for this reticence through an exegesis of contemporary debates. Addi
Impact of the National Practitioner Data Bank on Resolution of Malpractice Claims
Policymakers and commentators are concerned that the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) has influenced malpractice litigation dynamics. This study examines whether the introduction of the NPDB changed the outcomes, process, and equity of malpractice litigation. Using pre- and post-NPDB analyses, we examine rates of unpaid claims, trials, resolution time, physician defense costs, and payments on claims with a low/high probability of negligence…
Personal Choices of Health Plans by Managed Care Experts
BACKGROUND: Expert opinion has not been used as a basis for comparing different forms of health insurance, in part because this perspective may not be appropriately sensitive to aspects of care that consumers value. RESEARCH DESIGN: Using a case-control design, managed care experts were surveyed at 17 academic institutions in the United States to determine the type of health plan they chose (fee-for-service, HMO, POS, PPO, or catastrophic). Contr…
Incidence and Types of Adverse Events and Negligent Care in Utah and Colorado
BACKGROUND: The ongoing debate on the incidence and types of iatrogenic injuries in American hospitals has been informed primarily by the Harvard Medical Practice Study, which analyzed hospitalizations in New York in 1984. The generalizability of these findings is unknown and has been questioned by other studies. OBJECTIVE: We used methods similar to the Harvard Medical Practice Study to estimate the incidence and types of adverse events and negl…
Negligent Care and Malpractice Claiming Behavior in Utah and Colorado
BACKGROUND: Previous studies relating the incidence of negligent medical care to malpractice lawsuits in the United States may not be generalizable. These studies are based on data from 2 of the most populous states (California and New York), collected more than a decade ago, during volatile periods in the history of malpractice litigation. OBJECTIVES: The study objectives were (1) to calculate how frequently negligent and nonnegligent management…
HIV Infection and the Americans with Disabilities Act
Architects of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) contemplated that people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and AIDS would attract the act's antidiscrimination protections. Courts have recognized both conditions as covered disabilities. The extent to which the ADA introduces protection against insurers and health care providers who single out AIDS and HIV-related diseases for special treatment is not clear, however. …
