Archival Research on Human Health and Demography
Archival materials are an important resource for biological anthropologists, providing high-quality data to address a variety of research questions. Archives often contain both quantitative and qualitative data, offering a multidimensional view of population structure, disease dynamics, and evolutionary processes. Major types of archival data include vital statistics, census data, church records, and government or institutional data. This review …
I Would Advise That It Be Kept from the Schools at All Cost
In this article, the authors investigate the 1918-20 influenza pandemic in the federal government's nonreservation Indian boarding schools. Nonreservation boarding schools, which served approximately 6,200 Indigenous youths in 1919, provide a particularly fruitful terrain for analysis due to the detailed records, reports, and correspondence they shared with the Indian Office before, during, and after the pandemic. This rich source base offers a r…
The Impact of the 1918 Influenza Pandemic on the Demography of the Island of Newfoundland in the First Half of the Twentieth Century
The early twentieth century was a time of dramatic social, economic, political, demographic, and health-related change in Newfoundland and Labrador. One of the major upheavals at this time was the 1918 influenza pandemic, which led to the deaths of nearly 2,000 residents of the Dominion. In this paper we examine the short- and long-term demographic consequences of this catastrophic event. We focus on changes in the overall age and sex distributio…
Disability, Participation and Apparel throughout the Life Course
There are a growing number of people living with disabilities (PLWD) throughout the life course and across the disability spectrum. While much attention has been paid to environmental barriers to social participation for PLWD, apparel-related barriers have been largely overlooked. We conducted an online survey of 110 PLWD to identify challenges to finding appropriate clothing and related concerns regarding social participation for members of diff…
“We didn't get much schooling because we were fishing all the time”
OBJECTIVES: Especially in traditional, rural, and low-income areas, children attend school irregularly. School-based interventions are common mitigation strategies for infectious disease epidemics, but if daily attendance is not the norm, the impact of schools on disease spread might be overestimated. METHODS: We use an agent-based model of an early 20th century Newfoundland community to compare epidemic size and duration in three scenarios: (1) …
Disparities in the offer of Covid-19 vaccination to migrants and non-migrants in Norway
Results were consistent with studies that show disparities between non-migrants and migrants in actual vaccine uptake. While differences in receiving an offer cannot fully explain disparities in vaccination rates, our analyses suggest that receiving, or recognizing and understanding, an offer does play a role. Issues related to duration of residence, such as inclusion in population and health registries and health and digital literacy, should be …
Social Disparities in Adopting Non-pharmaceutical Interventions During Covid-19 in Norway
In the absence of vaccines to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2020 governments had to respond by rely on non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs). Socioeconomic inequalities likely influenced the uptake of NPIs. Using Norwegian survey data, we study whether income was associated with increased handwashing, keeping 1 m distance, using facemasks increased use of home office, and less use of public transportation. Except for using facemasks and less …
Not the great equalizers
Despite common perceptions to the contrary, pandemic diseases do not affect populations indiscriminately. In this paper, we review literature produced by demographers, historians, epidemiologists, and other researchers on disparities during the 1918-20 influenza pandemic and the Covid-19 pandemic. Evidence from these studies demonstrates that lower socio-economic status and minority/stigmatized race or ethnicity are associated with higher morbidi…
Perceptions of Local Vulnerability and the Relative Importance of Climate Change in Rural Ecuador
Influenza-Associated Mortality during the 1918-1919 Influenza Pandemic in Alaska and Labrador
Some of the most severely affected communities in the world during the 1918-19 influenza pandemic were in Labrador and Alaska. Although these two regions are on the opposite ends of North America, a cultural continuum in the Inuit populations extends throughout the North American Arctic. Both regions contain other population groups, however, and because of these similarities and differences, a comparison of their experiences during the pandemic p…
