Association of Acculturation and Hispanic/Latino Background with Endogenous Sex and Thyroid-Related Hormones Among Middle-Aged and Older Hispanic/Latino Adults
Statistical Methods for Assessing the Explained Variation of a Health Outcome by a Mixture of Exposures
Exposures to environmental pollutants are often composed of mixtures of chemicals that can be highly correlated because of similar sources and/or chemical structures. The effect of an individual chemical on a health outcome can be weak and difficult to detect because of the relatively low level of exposures to many environmental pollutants. To tackle the challenging problem of assessing the health risk of exposure to a mixture of environmental po…
Assessment of Metal Concentrations and Associations with Pulmonary Function among Children with Asthma in Chicago, Illinois
Individuals living in areas with the potential for elevated metal exposure from industrial sources may have reduced pulmonary function. We evaluated cross-sectional associations of toenail concentrations of 17 metals within a community area of residence and asthma control in 75 children, and pulmonary function measures [forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1; liters), forced vital capacity (FVC; liters), FEV1 to FVC ratio (FEV1:FVC), and mi…
Partner development praxis
Trusting, productive relationships between traditionally discordant stakeholders—community members and researchers—are critical for successful Community-Based Participatory Research. Practical guidance on processes allowing for partner trust-building and collaborative leadership development in Community-Based Participatory Research literature lacks specificity. In this paper, we introduce our praxis of Transformative Communication Spaces to facil…
Pediatric Asthma Care Coordination in Underserved Communities
Objectives. To assess the effect of care coordination on asthma outcomes among children in underserved urban communities. Methods. We enrolled children, most of whom had very poorly or not well-controlled asthma, in medical–social care coordination programs in Los Angeles, California; Chicago, Illinois; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and San Juan, Puerto Rico in 2011 to 2014. Participants (n = 805; mean age = 7 years) were 60% male, 50% African Amer…
Effect of a Community-Wide Asthma Intervention on Appropriate Use of Inhaled Corticosteroids
Lessons Learned From Chicago's Emergency Response to Mass Evacuations Caused by Hurricane Katrina
Objectives. We analyzed the response of the Chicago Department of Public Health with respect to its effectiveness in providing health care to Hurricane Katrina evacuees arriving in the city. Methods. Between September 12 and October 21, 2005, we conducted a real-time qualitative assessment of a medical unit in Chicago's Hurricane Victim Welcome and Relief Center. A semistructured guide was used to interview 33 emergency responders in an effort to…
Urinary tract infection during pregnancy
OBJECTIVES. The effects of antepartum urinary tract infection on adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes were examined. Antepartum urinary tract infection has been previously implicated as a risk factor for numerous outcomes. METHODS. Crude and multivariable analyses were performed with a perinatal registry cohort of 25,746 mother/infant pairs. RESULTS. Elevated risks were observed for exposure to urinary tract infection and low birthweight, prem…
Trends in asthma mortality among African Americans and whites in Chicago, 1968 through 1991
Death certificate data were used to examine asthma mortality among African Americans and Whites aged 5 through 34 years in Chicago from 1968 through 1991. African Americans experienced consistently higher asthma mortality throughout the period. Asthma mortality remained stable among Whites from 1968 through 1991 but increased by 337% among African Americans from 1976 through 1991 (P
Recent time trends in uterine cancer
Recent trends in corpus uterine cancer incidence rates were explored using 1979-86 data from the Surveillance and End Results Program (SEER); recent trends in hospitalizations for corpus uterine cancer were explored using 1979-86 data from National Hospital Discharge Surveys (NHDS); and recent trends in exogenous hormone use were delineated using data from the 1980, 1981, and 1985 National Ambulatory Medical Care Surveys (NAMCS). Uterine cancer i…
Personality and risk of cancer
Psychologic depression as measured by the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) in a cohort of 2018 middle-aged men employed at the Western Electric Company in 1957-1958 was positively associated with 20-year incidence and mortality from cancer. The association with incidence was apparent only during the first 10 years of follow-up, but the association with mortality was observed for the full 20 years of follow-up. The association pe…
