Introduction
Classifying children with ASD by service utilization and treatment type
BACKGROUND: If there are patterns of the distribution of services and treatments across the population of people with ASD, these patterns should be based along clinical characteristics or other service needs and not sociodemographic characteristics unrelated to evidence-based care. We examined how individuals in a broad, nationally representative sample "grouped together" based on service utilization and services needed but not covered by insuran…

Information and the Indian State
The category of information has been at the heart of notions about citizenship and governance in all modern societies. This paper constructs a genealogy of information and statehood in India by examining how information as a governing idea was brought into play in successive stages of contemporary Indian history. This first section provides a broad account of the creation of the Aadhaar card project—that attempts to uniquely identify every citize…
Freestanding Emergency Departments Are Associated With Higher Medicare Costs
The number of freestanding emergency departments (FSEDs) is growing rapidly in the United States. Proponents of FSEDs cite potential benefits of FSEDs including lower waiting time and reduced travel distance for needed emergency care. Others have suggested that increased access to emergency care may lead to an increase in the use of emergency departments for lower acuity patients, resulting in higher overall health care expenditures. We examined …
Information as Ritual
The relationship between the online and offline self is one of the most interesting questions faced by new media researchers. This article argues that James Carey's ritual view of communication can be of immense value in analyzing this complex phenomenon. The article revisits Carey's famous 'ritual view'-that saw mass communication and mass media as the primary ground for modern society-to elucidate how the notion of ritual can function as a theo…
Urban Park Development and Pediatric Obesity Rates
This study found proximity to a park was not associated with reductions in BMI z-score. Additional efforts to understand the complex relationship between park proximity, access, and PA are warranted
Farm-to-Consumer Retail Outlet Use, Fruit and Vegetable Intake, and Obesity Status among WIC Program Participants in Alabama
FTC retail outlet use was associated with F&V intake among program participants but not obesity status
Health Expenditure Concentration and Characteristics of High-Cost Enrollees in CHIP
Devising effective cost-containment strategies in public insurance programs requires understanding the distribution of health care spending and characteristics of high-cost enrollees. The aim was to characterize high-cost enrollees in a state's public insurance program and determine whether expenditure inequality changes over time, or with changes in cost-sharing policies or program eligibility. We use 1999-2011 claims and enrollment data from th…
Disparities in the Availability of Farmers Markets in the United States
Farmers markets (FM) have been proposed by researchers, policymakers, and health agencies as a potential community-level strategy to prevent obesity and reduce disparities in healthy food access in the U.S. Information about disparities in farmers market availability is scarce. This research aimed to examine county-level associations between farmers market (FM) availability and demographic, socioeconomic, health, and environmental measures in an …
Adverse Selection in the Children’s Health Insurance Program
This study investigates whether new enrollees in the Alabama Children's Health Insurance Program have different claims experience from renewing enrollees who do not have a lapse in coverage and from continuing enrollees. The analysis compared health services utilization in the first month of enrollment for new enrollees (who had not been in the program for at least 12 months) with utilization among continuing enrollees. A second analysis compared…
The Impact of Texting Bans on Motor Vehicle Crash–Related Hospitalizations
We used a panel design and the Nationwide Inpatient Sample from 19 states between 2003 and 2010 to examine the impact of texting bans on crash-related hospitalizations. We conducted conditional negative binomial regressions with state, year, and month fixed effects to examine changes in crash-related hospitalizations in states after the enactment of a texting ban relative to those in states without such bans. Results indicate that texting bans we…

The influence of gender, age, education and household size on meal preparation and food shopping responsibilities
Objective To examine the extent to which the gendered division of labour persists within households in the USA in regard to meal planning/preparation and food shopping activities. Design Secondary analysis of cross-sectional data. Setting 2007–2008 US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Subjects Sub-sample of 3195 adults at least 20 years old who had a spouse or partner. Results Analyses revealed that the majority of women and men r…
A new kind of radio
In 2001, India’s first private FM station – Radio City, Bangalore – came on air, ending an era of state broadcasting that began in 1930. In the past decade, FM radio has enjoyed spectacular success: over 200 stations are now in operation, and the FM industry has seen spectacular growth in listenership and revenues. FM’s impact goes beyond economics; it is now a cultural signifier synonymous with modernity – as the ‘tagline’ for a popular FM netwo…
Impact of Texting Laws on Motor Vehicular Fatalities in the United States
Using a panel study design, we examined the effects of different types of texting bans on motor vehicular fatalities. We used the Fatality Analysis Reporting System and a difference-in-differences approach to examine the incidence of fatal crashes in 2000 through 2010 in 48 US states with and without texting bans. Age cohorts were constructed to examine the impact of these bans on age-specific traffic fatalities. Primarily enforced laws banning a…
Is use of a patient-centered medical home associated with reduced health care utilization and costs? Empirical evidence from a US nationally representative sample
The patient-centered medical home (PCMH) integrates healthcare from various settings to meet patient's needs and holds promise to improve healthcare quality while reducing costs. This study is among the first to examine the PCMH's effect on changes in utilization and costs for emergency department (ED) and inpatient care in the US
Is There an Association Between Gasoline Prices and Physical Activity? Evidence from A merican Time Use Data
Obesity is epidemic in the U nited S tates, and there is an imperative need to identify policy tools that may help fight this epidemic. A recent paper in the economics literature finds an inverse relationship between gasoline prices and obesity risk—suggesting that increased gasoline prices via higher gasoline taxes may have the effect of reducing obesity prevalence. This study builds upon that paper. It utilizes cross‐sectional time series data …

Does Married Women's Market Work Affect Marital Stability Adversely? An Intercohort Analysis Using NLS Data
Over most of the twentieth century, the U.S. has witnessed considerable increases in divorce rates. Conventional economic literature believes that married women's entry into market work may have contributed to this by decreasing the gains from marriage arising from specialization between spouses. However, since the 1980s, divorce rates have ceased to increase though married women's labor supply continues to rise, suggesting that the relationship …
Why do Women feel the way they do about market work
Various empirical studies find evidence of that women tend to underestimate the probability that they will work in the market in the future. This can lead to initial under-investment in market human capital and resulting earnings penalties later in life. However, virtually no study investigates the familial, social and economic factors that cause women to plan/expect not to work. Thus the onus of “incorrect” plans is placed wholly on the women, a…
