Impacts of confounding roadway characteristics on estimates of associations between alcohol outlet densities and alcohol‐related motor vehicle crashes
The C-Word
Assessing Physical Disorder in Urban Neighborhoods
Research on neighborhood factors that influence health and crime often use neighborhood measures of geographic areas such as census tracts, wards, and postal sectors. These administratively defined areas, however, may mask the heterogeneity of neighborhood influences. In response to calls for more specific measures, we tested the reliability and validity of the Parcel Maintenance Observation Tool (PMOT)–a new measure of physical disorder on prope…
Health care system hazard vulnerability analysis
Hazard vulnerability analysis (HVA) is used to risk-stratify potential threats, measure the probability of those threats, and guide disaster preparedness. The primary objective of this project was to analyse the level of disaster preparedness in public hospitals in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, utilising the HVA tool in collaboration with the Disaster Medicine Section at Harvard Medical School. The secondary objective was to review each facility's di…
The Geography of Violence, Alcohol Outlets, and Drug Arrests in Boston
Objectives. We examined the relationship between alcohol outlets, drug markets (approximated by arrests for possession and trafficking), and violence in Boston, Massachusetts, in 2006. We analyzed geographic and environmental versus individual factors related to violence and identified areas high in violent crime. Methods. We used data from the Boston Police Department, US Census, and Massachusetts State Alcohol Beverage Control Commission. Spati…
Experiences of female survivors of sexual violence in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo
Rape results not only in physical and psychological trauma, but can destroy family and community structures. Women face significant obstacles in seeking services after rape. Interventions offering long-term solutions for hyper-vulnerable women are vital, but lacking; reintegration programs on SGBV for women, men, and communities are also needed
Patterns of sexual violence in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo
Despite the signing of international peace agreements, a deadly war continues in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and sexual violence is a prominent modus operandi of many military groups operating in the region. Retrospective cohort study of women who presented to Panzi Hospital in 2006 requesting post-sexual violence care. Data was extracted and analyzed to describe the patterns of sexual violence. A total of 1,021 medical records were re…
Alcohol Use Among Two Generations of Southeast Asians in the United States
This article assesses the drinking norms and practices of two generations of Southeast Asians in the East San Francisco Bay Area. Researchers included quantity and frequency measures of current alcohol use and binge drinking and open-ended questions on drinking norms and behaviors in a mixed-method study of tobacco use. The study generated data through in-person interviews with 164 respondents from two urban East Bay neighborhoods. The findings i…

Moderate Alcohol Use and Depression in Young Adults
Objectives. We examined the association between moderate alcohol use and depressive mood among young adults before and after adjustment for demographic, health, and socioeconomic factors that may act as confounders. Methods. We analyzed 2 waves of interview data collected from 13892 young adults who participated in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health to compare frequency of depressive symptoms in moderate drinkers with frequency …
Bioterrorism Preparedness Expenditures May Compromise Public Health
The exchange of letters in the March issue regarding Cohen and colleagues’ October 2004 article1 did not sufficiently quantify the national public health impact of misdirecting precious dollars to bioterrorism preparedness. For fiscal years 2002–2005 and 2006 (projected), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) terrorism preparedness funding has varied from $1.4 billion to $1.7 billion, averaging 22% of the CDC’s entire annual bu…
The Relationship Between Alcohol, Stress, and Depression in Mexican Americans and Non-Hispanic Whites
The effect of alcohol use on the relationship between stress and depression in US-born Mexican American men, Mexican Americans born in Mexico, and non-Hispanic Whites born in the United States was examined in a sample obtained from the Los Angeles Epidemiological Catchment Area study. Chronic stress, measured by financial strain, and acute stress, measured by negative life events, were included in the analysis. Alcohol use was measured through a …
The effect of moderate alcohol use on the relationship between stress and depression
OBJECTIVES. The purpose of the study was to determine whether moderate alcohol use mediates or buffers the effect of stress on depression in a group of non-Hispanic White men and women. METHODS. Data are from the Los Angeles Epidemiological Catchment Area cohort. Individuals were assessed at two time periods, 1 year apart. Mean depression scores were analyzed for each level of stress and alcohol use. RESULTS. In the simultaneous presence of both …
