Understanding the impact of socioeconomic deprivation on inpatient surgical care delivery costs in the Veterans Health Administration
The impact of living in high neighborhood-level socioeconomic deprivation on inpatient surgery cost is not well known. This retrospective cohort study examines the relationship between the Area Deprivation Index (ADI) and non-cardiac inpatient surgery costs in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). Patients aged ≥65 years undergoing non-cardiac inpatient surgery during 2013-2019 were identified in Veterans Affairs Surgical Quality Improvement …
Prudence in end-of-life decision making
Despite significant improvements in end-of-life care over several decades, belated hospice referrals and hospital staffing patterns make challenging end-of-life conversations between strangers unsurprising, especially when the interaction is time-sensitive. Understanding how physicians perform under these circumstances is relevant to patient quality and medical education. This study is a secondary analysis of transcripts from a simulation that pl…

Assessing the Quality and Performance of Institutional Review Boards
How well institutional review boards (IRBs) follow Common Rule criteria for levels of initial protocol review has not been systematically evaluated. We compared levels of review as determined using the Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) human subject regulations decision charts of 313 protocols that had been approved by IRBs. There was a 97.8% agreement between 140 protocols that were reviewed by full board and the levels of review acco…

Using the IRB Researcher Assessment Tool to Guide Quality Improvement
Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) are intended to protect those who participate in research. However, because there is no established measure of IRB quality, it is unclear whether these committees achieve their goal. The IRB Researcher Assessment Tool is a previously validated, internally normed, proxy measure of IRB quality that assesses 45 distinct IRB activities and functions. We administered this instrument to a sample of investigators and I…
Do good, goes bad, gets ugly
With millions of videos with different messages uploaded per year, companies are increasingly looking for means of making their messages stand against competitors. A theory of viral marketing is used to analyze and understand the spread of—and reactions to—a controversial political mega‐viral video, Kony 2012 . Through this analysis, policy makers and marketers could gain a better understanding of how they can use mediums such as YouTube to exten…
Episcopal Measure of Faith Tradition
Existential Beliefs, Social Satisfaction, and Well-Being Among Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant Older Adults
Religiousness, spirituality, and existential beliefs are important sources of well-being yet neither their specific effects nor group variation in them is well understood. In a sample of more than 1,000 older adults, we found that certain existential beliefs or concerns (fear of God, death anxiety, belief in life after death, concerns about being mourned) are correlates of well-being in older adults and differed across religious groups. Protestan…
Measuring Religiousness in Health Research
College Students' Views on Gay and Lesbian Issues
Many in academia believe that higher education leads to an increase in tolerance towards individuals who are different. There are some empirical findings to support this premise; however, the impact of higher education on acceptance of homosexuality has not been adequately explored. Gays and lesbians in society face many negative attitudes. Based upon the survey results of 364 students at a Midwestern university, juniors and seniors had statistic…
Social Versus Individual Motivation
The traditional interpretation of "intrinsic" religiousness has fostered an unchallenged assumption that normative and substantive religious motivation is inherently individual and personal. Social motives for religiousness and structured practices have been characterized as "extrinsic" and as lacking in formative significance. We argue that this view is most applicable in American Protestant religions, and hence existing religious motivation sca…
The Impact of Distributive and Procedural Justice on Social Service Workers
United We Stand
On September 11, 2001, almost 3000 people died due to terrorist attacks on U.S. soil. Almost all Americans were shocked and saddened by these attacks and agreed that those responsible must be brought to justice. However, not everyone had the same views. College students at two midwestern universities were surveyed. On 13 of 21 questions, there were significant bivariate differences between White and Nonwhite students. Generally, the differences b…
