Incidence and Predictors of HIV Infection Among Men Who Have Sex with Men Attending Public Sexually Transmitted Disease Clinics, New York City, 2007–2012
Discordance between Sexual Behavior and Self-Reported Sexual Identity
BACKGROUND: Persons reporting sexual identity that is discordant with their sexual behavior may engage in riskier sexual behaviors than those with concordant identity and behavior. The former group could play an important role in the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. OBJECTIVE: To describe discordance between self-described sexual identity and behavior among men who have sex with men and associations between identity-behavior and risk beha…
Crystal methamphetamine use and sexually transmitted infection
The Importance of Both Sexual Behavior and Identity
In the July 2005 issue, Young and Meyer suggest that the terms “men who have sex with men (MSM)” and “women who have sex with women (WSW)” are used inappropriately to displace information regarding sexual identity.1 While information regarding sexual identity is important, measures of both sexual identity and sexual behavior should routinely be included on population-based surveys and surveys of health risk behaviors to illuminate interactions be…
Understanding the Living Arrangements of Latino Immigrants
Understanding the Living Arrangements of Latino Immigrants
Using data from the 1990 Panel Study of Income Dynamics Latino Sample, this study examines three competing hypotheses for understanding extended family living among Mexican, Puerto Rican and Cuban immigrants. The findings indicate no significant relationship between living with extended kin and cultural indicators — such as English fluency – or economic factors – such as employment and income. Rather, the data support a life course explanation. E…
A Brief History of Work Expectations for Welfare Mothers
The best known of the nation's welfare programs, Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), has from its inception reflected a tension between the desire to support children in poor, lone-parent families and the belief that parents should be held responsible for providing for themselves and their children. Against that backdrop, this article reviews the history of the AFDC program and traces the emergence of policies and programs intended to…
An outbreak of hypervitaminosis D associated with the overfortification of milk from a home-delivery dairy
OBJECTIVES. The purpose of the study was to identify cases of hypervitaminosis D caused by the inadvertent overfortification of milk from a home-delivery dairy and to identify risk factors for this illness. METHODS. Hospital discharge, laboratory, and state health department data were used to define, identify, and describe cases of hypervitaminosis D diagnosed in the exposed communities between January 1, 1985, and June 30, 1991. To identify dise…
Subclinical health effects in a population exposed to excess vitamin D in milk
To evaluate subclinical health effects of excess vitamin D, a cross-sectional study was conducted of persons consuming milk from a dairy that had overfortified milk for at least 4 years. Milk consumption, sunlight exposure, medical symptoms, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D), serum and urinary calcium, and indicators of renal function were measured. Increased milk consumption was associated with increased serum 25(OH)D and urinary calcium. Howe…
