Using human-centered design to advance health literacy in local health department programming
This project received University of Arizona IRB review and approval. This study was not considered a randomized controlled trial and did not require registration
Characteristics of State Policies Impact Health Care Delivery
BACKGROUND: Increased breast tissue density may mask cancer and thus decrease the diagnostic sensitivity of mammography. A patient group advocacy led to the implementation of laws to increase the awareness of breast tissue density and to improve access to supplemental imaging in many states. Given limited evidence about best practices, variation exists in several characteristics of adopted policies. OBJECTIVE: To identify which characteristics of…
Amorcer un traitement antipsychotique en schizophrénie
Contexte Cet article vise à décrire les facteurs associés à la prescription d’antipsychotiques par un psychiatre plutôt qu’un omnipraticien, la prescription d’un antipsychotique de seconde plutôt que de première génération, la prescription d’une multithérapie d’antipsychotiques et le non-renouvellement de la prescription initiale. Méthodologie Il s’agit d’une étude pharmacoépidémiologique observationnelle avec analyses secondaires d’une banque de…

Association between Floods and Acute Cardiovascular Diseases
Despite interesting results, the association was not statistically significant. A possible explanation to this result can be that the population affected by the flood was probably too small to provide the statistical power to answer the question, and leaves open a substantial possibility for a real and large effect

No consistent effects of prenatal or neonatal exposure to Spanish flu on late-life mortality in 24 developed countries
We test the effects of early life exposure to disease on later health by looking for differences in late-life mortality in cohorts born around the 1918-1919 flu pandemic using data from the Human Mortality Database for 24 countries. After controlling for age, period, and sex effects, residual mortality rates did not differ systematically for flu cohorts relative to surrounding cohorts. We calculate at most a 20-day reduction in life expectancy fo…
Estimating a Composite Measure of Hospital Quality From the Hospital Compare Database
BACKGROUND: A single composite measure calculated from individual quality indicators (QIs) is a useful measure of hospital performance and can be justified conceptually even when the indicators are not highly correlated with one another. OBJECTIVE: To compare 2 basic approaches for calculating a composite measure: an extension of the most widely-used approach, which weights individual indicators based on the number of people eligible for the indi…

A note protesting the betrayal of our social work heritage
Social work has a rich store of practice knowledge accumulated over the past sixty years. There is a danger that an important part of this knowledge, that pertaining to the long-term support of various vulnerable client groups will be lost. This is due, largely, to the failure of Social Services Departments - the major employer of social workers - to provide structural and managerial support for this type of work. However, the author reports some…
Predicting Social-Sexual Behavior at Work
This study explored two competing hypotheses about social-sexual behavior at work, which we defined as any non-work-related behavior having a sexual component, including harassment, flirting, and m...

Representatives in Government - A Role for Social Planning Councils
Excerpt from the full-text article: I have referred to a key problem of how to make individual and group concerns known to the decision makers without ignoring the weakly organized and unorganized-and without putting both the legislators and administrators in the position of merely ratifying bargaining negotiated between these interest groups. I have suggested non-governmental Social Planning Councils have a potentially significant role to play i…

The Strategy of Occupational Choice
Self-recruitment to dentistry provides an excellent case of the purposive or negotiated nature of occupational choice, especially of the skilled and professional occupations. Choices were made as compromises between reward preferences and expectancies of access to specific occupations; both of these career perspectives were developed with reference to familial occupational history, especially the occupational status of the father. Evidence is pre…
