Framework for a Community Health Observing System for the Gulf of Mexico Region
The Gulf of Mexico (GoM) region is prone to disasters, including recurrent oil spills, hurricanes, floods, industrial accidents, harmful algal blooms, and the current COVID-19 pandemic. The GoM and other regions of the U.S. lack sufficient baseline health information to identify, attribute, mitigate, and facilitate prevention of major health effects of disasters. Developing capacity to assess adverse human health consequences of future disasters …
Investing in Development A Practical Plan to Achieve the Millennium Development Goals
This book presents the findings & recommendations of the UN Millennium Project to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). It describes the importance of the MDGs and gives an explanation of the progress. The book provides recommendations to be implemented at the country level
Introduction. What works? And for whom
Psychological Well-Being
A model of positive psychological functioning that emerges from diverse domains of theory and philosophy is presented. Six key dimensions of wellness are defined, and empirical research summarizing their empirical translation and sociodemographic correlates is presented. Variations in well-being are explored via studies of discrete life events and enduring human experiences. Life histories of the psychologically vulnerable and resilient, defined …
Can an attribution assessment be made for Yellow Rain? Systematic reanalysis in a chemical-and-biological-weapons use investigation
In intelligence investigations, such as those into reports of chemical- or biological-weapons (CBW) use, evidence may be difficult to assemble and, once assembled, to weigh. We propose a methodology for such investigations and then apply it to a large body of recently declassified evidence to determine the extent to which an attribution can now be made in the Yellow Rain case. Our analysis strongly supports the hypothesis that CBW were used in So…
Psychological Well-Being and Ill-Being
Background: Increasingly, researchers attend to both positive and negative aspects of mental health. Such distinctions call for clarification of whether psychological well-being and ill-being comprise opposite ends of a bipolar continuum, or are best construed as separate, independent dimensions of mental health. Biology can help resolve this query – bipolarity predicts ‘mirrored’ biological correlates (i.e. well-being and ill-being correlate sim…
Cumulative biological risk and socio-economic differences in mortality
Interpersonal Flourishing
Quality ties to others are universally endorsed as central to optimal living. Social scientists have extensively studied the relational world, but in somewhat separate literatures (e.g., attachment, close relationships, marital and family ties, social support). Studies of intimacy and close connection are infrequently connected to health, whereas studies of health and social support rarely intersect with literatures on relational flourishing. Eff…
Hierarchies of Life Histories and Associated Health Risks
A bstract : Widely documented inverse associations between socioeconomic standing and incident chronic disease and mortality invite explanation in terms of pathways to these outcomes. Empirical identification of pathways, or histories, requires measures that assess cumulative wear and tear on physiological systems following from psychosocial adversity and genetic predispositions. Such an assessment, allostatic load, has been shown to predict late…
The Contours of Positive Human Health
The primary objectives of this article are (a) to put forth an explicit operational formulation of positive human health that goes beyond prevailing "absence of illness" criteria; (b) to clarify that positive human health does not derive from extant medical considerations, which are not about wellness, but necessarily require a base in philosophical accounts of the "goods" in life; (c) to provoke a change of emphasis from strong tendencies to con…
Linking Life Histories and Mental Health
We present a strategy for using longitudinal survey data to identify life history pathways linked with mental health outcomes. The central aim is to begin with richly detailed descriptions of individual lives and, from them, to discern generalizable features of aggregates of multiple lives. Conceptual principles guiding the organization and interpretation of life history information are summarized. Data from the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study (WLS)…
Perceived malaria illness reports in mobile populations
Coverage of a representative sample of border or frontier populations by blood samples is not logistically feasible. Thus the assessment of the extent of malaria illness and the potential demand for malaria-specific health services requires the collection of both direct and indirect perceived malaria illness reports. Indirect reports, the basis on which representative population coverage rests, are provided by members of the respondent's househol…
Black/White Differences in Health Status and Mortality Among the Elderly
Grade of membership (GOM) representations are used to characterize and compare the health status of a very heterogeneous sample of blacks and whites in an elderly cohort of 2,806 noninstitutionalized men and women living in New Haven, Connecticut. They were interviewed in 1982 as part of the Established Populations for the Epidemiologic Study of the Elderly (EPESE). Ideal profiles based on functional disabilities, chronic diseases, and selected b…

Estimation of Nonstationary Markov Chains from Panel Data
With a few exceptions (see Tuma, 1976; Littman and Mode, 1977; Pickens and Soyka, 1980), most attempts to model individual choice behavior with and related models have interpreted Markov to mean time-homogeneous Markov. Although considerable analytic simplicity is gained via the use of such models, there is a substantial sacrifice in realism and flexibility. Indeed, much of 'the empirical failure of time-homogeneous chains to provide good descrip

The Representation of Social Processes by Markov Models
In this paper we consider a class of issues which are central to modeling social phenomena by continuous-time Markov structures. In particular, we discuss (a) embeddability, or how to determine whether observations on an empirical process could have arisen via the evolution of a continuous-time Markov structure; and (b) identification, or what to do if the observations are consisten with more than one continuous-time Markov structure. With respec…
