The Covid-19 Pandemic
The complex and evolving picture of COVID-19–related mortality highlights the need for data to guide the response. Yet many countries are struggling to maintain their data systems, including the civil registration system, which is the foundation for detailed and continuously available mortality statistics. We conducted a search of country and development agency Web sites and partner and media reports describing disruptions to the civil registrati…
The Mortality Effects of Reduced Medicaid Coverage Among International Migrants in Hawaii
Objectives. To study the impact on mortality in Hawaii from the revoked state Medicaid program coverage in March 2015 for most Compact of Free Association (COFA) migrants who were nonblind, nondisabled, and nonpregnant. Methods. We computed quarterly crude mortality rates for COFA migrants, Whites, and Japanese Americans from March 2012 to November 2018. We employed a difference-in-difference research design to estimate the impact of the Medicaid…
Changes in the association of low birth weight with socioeconomic status in Hawaii
This study examines rates of low birth weight (LBW) in the state of Hawaii and changes in the association of LBW with socioeconomic status from 1970 to 1990. The analysis is based on aggregate data for census tracts. Rates of low birth weight were calculated for each census tract. Relative socioeconomic scores were calculated from average household income and years of education. The results show that (1) there was a decrease in the rate of low bi…
Maternal pelvic size, measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, predicts infant birthweight
Indicators of infant birthweight are important because infant birthweight is related to later health outcomes. This study developed and validated new measures of the pelvis from dual energy absorptiometry (DEXA). Predictors of the new measures of maternal pelvic size were examined and the pelvic size measures were examined as predictors of infant birthweight. Data were drawn from a sample of 326 women in Hawaii and their 608 infants. The women we…
Asian and Pacific Islander mortality differences in Hawaii
In the United States, national health status data pertaining to Asian and Pacific Islander (API) Americans are rarely disaggregated. By aggregating API data, however, the poor health status of some API groups is often masked by the favorable health status of others. The purpose of this paper is two-fold: (1) to compare mortality rates of the five major ethnic groups in Hawaii (Caucasians, Chinese, Filipinos, Japanese, and Hawaiians) and (2) to ex…

Reproductive time lost through marital dissolution in metropolitan Latin America
Reproductive time lost through marital dissolution is a potential factor in decreased fertility. This study of survey data from six Latin America metropolitan areas shows that, among variables examined, type of marital union is the primary determinant of reproductive time lost. The study establishes that appreciably more reproductive time is lost from consensual unions than from legal ones. It also indicates that this difference cannot be explain…
Reproductive time lost due to sexual union dissolution in San José, Costa Rica
It has long been recognized, on a theoretical level, that widowhood, divorce, and separation, if not immediately followed by re-marriage, could have a negative impact on fertility. Davis and Blake specifically identified the amount of reproductive time spent after or between unions as one of the eleven intermediate variables bearing immediately upon fertility
Marriage at an earlier than ideal age in six Latin American capital cities
The study of nuptiality has taken on urgency, for demographers as well as for sociologists, with the increased world concern over sustained high fertility and the evident contribution of early marriage to that high fertility. Moreover, along with despair over the efficacy of conventional family planning programmes has come an expectation that more basic institutional changes, such as changes in marriage patterns, will be necessary in order finall…
