Access to Covid-19 testing by individuals with housing insecurity during the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic in the United States
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic focused attention on healthcare disparities and inequities faced by individuals within marginalized and structurally disadvantaged groups in the United States. These individuals bore the heaviest burden across this pandemic as they faced increased risk of infection and difficulty in accessing testing and medical care. Individuals experiencing housing insecurity are a particularly vulnerable population given the…
Health Care Use and Spending Among Need-Based Subgroups of Medicare Beneficiaries With Full Medicaid Benefits
Federal and state policy makers and administrators are developing strategies to integrate Medicare- and Medicaid-funded health care services to provide better care to the people enrolled in both programs. Substantial use of both Medicare- and Medicaid-funded services was found across all need-based subgroups, and the services contributing a high proportion of the total spending differed across subgroups. The diversity of health care use suggests …

Humor has always been an essential part of North American aboriginal culture. This fact remained unnoticed by most settlers, however, since non-aboriginals just didn't get the joke. For most of written history, a stern, unyielding profile of "the Indian" dominated the popular mainstream imagination. Indians, it was believed, never laughed. But Indians themselves always knew better. As an award-winning playwright, columnist, and comedy-sketch crea…
Associations Between Obesity and Receipt of Screening Mammography, Papanicolaou Tests, and Influenza Vaccination
Objectives. Obese Americans, who receive more care for chronic diseases, may receive fewer preventive services. We evaluated the association between body mass index (BMI) and receipt of screening mammography and Papanicolaou tests among middle-aged women and the association between BMI and receipt of influenza vaccination among the elderly. Methods. We analyzed 2 datasets: the Health and Retirement Study (4439 women aged 50–61 years) and the Asse…

Do the Near-Elderly Value Mortality Risks Differently
Wage hedonic models are estimated with the Health and Retirement Study to measure the risk-wage tradeoffs (value of statistical lives) for older workers. The analysis explicitly allows for multiple employment states, including retirement, using a multinomial selection model. The results suggest that the oldest and most risk-averse workers require significantly higher, not lower, compensation to accept increases in job-related fatality risks. 2004…
Outcomes of States’ Scholarship, Loan Repayment, and Related Programs for Physicians
CONTEXT: Many states attempt to entice young generalist physicians into rural and medically underserved areas with financial support-for-service programs-scholarships, service-option loans, loan repayment, direct financial incentives, and resident support programs-with little documentation of their effectiveness. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess outcomes of states' support-for-service programs as a group and to compare outcome…
Does Higher Hospital Cost Imply Higher Quality of Care
This study investigates whether higher input use per stay in the hospital (treatment intensity) and longer length of stay improve outcomes of care. We allow for endogeneity of intensity and length of stay by estimating a quasi-maximum-likelihood discrete factor model, where the distribution of the unmeasured variable is modeled using a discrete distribution. Data on elderly persons come from several waves of the National Long-Term Care Survey mer…
Racial differences in influenza vaccination among older americans 1996–2000
There is much work left if the Healthy People 2010 goal of 90% of the elderly immunized against influenza annually is to be achieved. Close coordination between public health programs and clinical prevention efforts in primary care is necessary, but to be truly effective, these services must be culturally appropriate
Does Assistive Technology Substitute for Personal Assistance Among the Disabled Elderly
Objectives. This study examined whether use of equipment (technological assistance) to cope with disability was associated with use of fewer hours of help from another person (personal assistance). Methods. In a cross-sectional study of 2368 community dwellers older than 65 years with 1 or more limitations in basic activities of daily living (ADLs) from the 1994 National Long Term Care Survey, the relation between technological assistance and per…
Benefits of Smoking Cessation for Longevity
Objectives. This study determined the life extension obtained from stopping smoking at various ages. Methods. We estimated the relation between smoking and mortality among 877 243 respondents to the Cancer Prevention Study II. These estimates were applied to the 1990 US census population to examine the longevity benefits of smoking cessation. Results. Life expectancy among smokers who quit at age 35 exceeded that of continuing smokers by 6.9 to 8…
Do Smokers Respond to Health Shocks
This paper reports the first effort to use data to evaluate how new information, acquired through exogenous health shocks, affects people's longevity expectations. We find that smokers react differently to health shocks than do those who quit smoking or never smoked. These differences, together with insights from qualitative research conducted along with the statistical analysis, suggest specific changes in the health warnings used to reduce smok…
The Relative Effect of Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias, Disability, and Comorbidities on Cost of Care for Elderly Persons
Disability, severe ADRD, and comorbidity all had independent effects that increased total costs. Thus, any risk adjustment procedure should account for disability and comorbidity and not just ADRD status
Medical Training Debt and Service Commitments
This study assesses how student ban debt and scholarships, ban repayment and related programs with service requirements influence the incomes young physicians seek and attain, influence whether they choose to work in rural practice settings and affect the number of Medicaid‐covered and uninsured patients they see. Data are from a 1999 mail survey of a national probability sample of 468 practicing family physicians, general internists and pediatri…
Do Targeted Efforts for the Rural Underserved Help Kill Comprehensive Reform
There has been a shift during the past 60 years from a broad notion of the entire nation as underserved to a more focused effort to identify particular areas (often rural) thought to be underserved. This approach was formalized with the advent of the war on poverty. This focused approach has been cemented during the past 30 years, in part by the success of various federal health center programs that have remained funded during this period in spit…
Formation of Trusts and Spend Down to Medicaid
The use of trusts was not common, and motives other than spend down were more important for those with trusts. Our results suggest little need for policy efforts to limit the use of trusts to achieve spend down

Native theatre is alive and well and living in Canada. I say this because, as I'm sure you are aware, Native theatre is amazingly strong, quite popular, and practically everywhere in the Canadian theatrical community. What once was barren is now bountiful. In 1986 there was perhaps one working Native playwright in all of Canada. Today I can list at least two dozen produced playwrights of aboriginal decent in Canada, and if that rate of increase c…
"Girl Who Loved Her Horses"
There are two things I wish to share with you about my play Girl Who Loved Her Horses, seminal things that by themselves have no relation to each other. But somehow the two came together, and Danielle, better known as the Girl Who Loved Her Horses, was born. When I was about eight years old, my grandfather took me to a fair in Campbelford, a small town in central Ontario, Canada. Since Campbelford is primarily an agrarian community, it was just a…
Using Logistic Regression to make County‐level Estimates of the Medically Uninsured in North Carolina
Often, policy analysts are asked to produce data for which there are no universally accepted methods. Policymakers and legislators are continually searching for accurate estimates of the magnitude of the problem with which to inform their debate, but often need the estimates within a short period of time—too short to allow large, population‐based sample surveys. This means that such estimates must be produced from data that may lack the specifici…

Brightness Discrimination Learning under Conditions of Simultaneous and Successive Presentation of Stimuli with Punishment
Under relational conditions with electric shock punishment for incorrect responses, all 9 rats learned to choose the dimmer of two stimuli; no Ss in a parallel group of rats ( N = 6) given equivalent training under absolute conditions reached the learning criterion. Results are interpreted as supporting the Gestalt theory of discrimination learning rather than the theory of Spence
