Occupational Determinants of Health and Well-Being for Indigenous Populations in the United States
Objectives. To characterize occupational determinants of health and well-being for American Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN) populations in the United States using a nationally representative data set. Methods. We conducted a descriptive analysis and multivariable logistic regression using National Health Interview Survey data (2020–2022) to compare demographic and work characteristics across 3 groups of AIAN individuals: non-Hispanic (n = 558), Hispa…
Disparities in fatal and non-fatal opioid-involved overdoses among middle-aged non-Hispanic Black Men and Women
The gap in fatal opioid overdose rates has been closing between non-Hispanic Black and non-Hispanic White individuals. The rising opioid-involved mortality rates among non-Hispanic Black adults has been identified by SAMHSA as a critical public health issue. However, further research is needed that utilizes comprehensive surveillance data on both fatal and non-fatal opioid-involved overdoses to better assess the changing trends and evaluate facto…

Health Care Utilization of Individuals Affected by Homelessness
OBJECTIVES: To describe individuals coded as homeless in state-level data comprising of outpatient and inpatient cases over a multi-year period to provide public health surveillance data on the health care utilization and needs of this population. RESEARCH DESIGN: In this cross-sectional study, outpatient and inpatient visits coded for homelessness were identified from the Illinois Hospital Discharge Database from January 1, 2011 through December…
Levels of Ethylene Oxide Biomarker in an Exposed Residential Community
The purpose of this study was to examine whether there is a difference in ethylene oxide (EtO) biomarker levels based on residential proximity to facilities emitting EtO, a carcinogen. We recruited residents living near two EtO-emitting facilities and administered a questionnaire on items such as address and length of residency, smoking habits, occupational exposures to EtO, and demographics. We also collected venous blood samples to measure an E…
Comparison of State Hospital Visits With Housing and Urban Development Estimates of Homeless
Objectives. To assess the value of hospital records in augmenting information on homelessness counts at a state level. Methods. We used data from the Illinois Hospital Discharge Database (2011–2018) to identify outpatients and inpatients identified as affected by homelessness. We used probabilistic linkage methodology to estimate unique individuals rather than visits and compared them with US Department of Housing and Urban Development annual est…
Spatial Clustering of Occupational Injuries in Communities
Objectives. Using the social-ecological model, we hypothesized that the home residences of injured workers would be clustered predictably and geographically. Methods. We linked health care and publicly available datasets by home zip code for traumatically injured workers in Illinois from 2000 to 2009. We calculated numbers and rates of injuries, determined the spatial relationships, and developed 3 models. Results. Among the 23 200 occupational i…
Should California Include Motor Vehicle Fuel Emissions in a Greenhouse Gas Cap-and-Trade Program
California should include vehicle fuels as part of a greenhouse gas reduction cap-and-trade program. Numerous political, administrative and economic reasons that suggest otherwise are considered. They include compliance and enforcement concerns, other regulatory programs for transportation, belief that gains from inclusion would be small, jurisdictional linkage issues, and both political skepticism and agency inexperience with market-based regula…
Intertemporal regulatory tasks and responsibilities for greenhouse gas reductions
Jurisdictions are in the process of establishing regulatory systems to control greenhouse gas emissions. Short-term and sometimes long-term emissions reduction goals are established, as California does for 2020 and 2050, but little attention has yet been focused on annual emissions targets for the intervening years. We develop recommendations for how these annual targets-which we collectively term a “compliance pathway”-can be set, as well as wha…
Long-Term Effects of Repealing the National Maximum Speed Limit in the United States
Objectives. We examined the long-term effects of the 1995 repeal of federal speed limit controls on road fatalities and injuries in fatal crashes. Methods. We used a Poisson mixed-regression model to assess changes in the number of fatalities and injuries in fatal crashes between 1995 and 2005 on rural interstates, where all US states have raised speed limits since the repeal, as well as on urban interstates and noninterstate roads, where many st…

Raised Speed Limits, Speed Spillover, Case-Fatality Rates, and Road Deaths in Israel
Objectives. We assessed the 5-year, nationwide impact on road deaths of the raise in the speed limit (November 1, 1993) on 3 major interurban highways in Israel from 90 to 100 kph. Methods. We compared before–after trends in deaths as well as case fatality—an outcome independent of exposure (defined as vehicle-kilometers traveled). Results. After the raise, speeds rose by 4.5%–9.1%. Over 5 years, there was a sustained increase in deaths (15%) and…

Public Policy Economics
This article reports on a survey of economics courses in our graduate program, identifies some of their weaknesses, and presents a number of suggestions for their improvement. The major theme that underlies my suggestions is to increase the active problem-solving roles for students in these courses, not leave the task exclusively to other courses. This can be facilitated by readings that emphasize the different processes of resource allocation, b…

How affiliation affects stress in fear and anxiety situations
In this study I have attempted to determine why the presence of calm others reduces one's arousal in a fear situation but intensifies one's arousal in an anxiety situation. In the fear situation, the person anticipated receiving a physically painful stimulus, whereas in the anxiety condition, the person anticipated receiving an innocuous but embarrassing stimulus. The results of three experiments indicated that (a) a person stressed by fear conte…
