Evaluation of Long‐term Community Recovery from Hurricane Andrew: Sources of Assistance Received by Population Sub‐groups
Two three‐stage cluster surveys were conducted in South Dade County, Florida, 14 months apart, to assess recovery following Hurricane Andrew. Response rates were 75 per cent and 84 per cent. Sources of assistance used in recovery from Hurricane Andrew differed according to race, per capita income, ethnicity, and education. Reports of improved living situation post‐hurricane were not associated with receiving relief assistance, but reports of a wo…
Long-Term Effects of Hurricane Andrew: Revisiting Mental Health Indicators
Two population-based surveys of South Dade County, Florida, were conducted after Hurricane Andrew to compare hurricane-related symptoms of mental distress and describe the impact of mental health outreach teams. Households were selected by three-stage cluster sampling and findings from the two surveys, 13 months apart, were compared. Response rates were 75 per cent and 84 per cent. The prevalence of symptoms of mental distress decreased over time…
Patient-to-patient transmission of hepatitis B in a dermatology practice
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of the study was to investigate infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) among patients in a dermatology practice. METHODS. Historical cohort, matched case-control, and cross-sectional survey methods were used. RESULTS. The age-specific incidence of reported HBV infection in the practice from 1985 through 1991 was more than 12 times the expected rate. The dermatologist was not an HBV car…
Neonatal tetanus in rural Bangladesh: Risk factors and toxoid efficacy
OBJECTIVES. Tetanus continues to be a leading cause of neonatal death in Bangladesh as in other developing countries, yet little is known about risk factors or the efficacy of tetanus toxoid in this setting. METHODS. In May 1990, mothers of 6148 infants born alive between March 15, 1989, and March 14, 1990, in 30 rural unions of Rajshahi Division in Bangladesh were interviewed. Three surviving controls for each neonatal tetanus death were matched…
Suicides in Alaska: Firearms and alcohol
A manual review of death certificates and autopsy records identified 195 suicides in Alaska during 1983-84. Native males, 20-24 years old, had the highest rate of suicide (257 per 100,000 person-years). Gunshot wounds caused 76 per cent of all suicide deaths; 79 per cent of Native and 48 per cent of White suicides had detectable levels of blood alcohol. Suicide by firearms was weakly associated with blood alcohol levels above 100 mg/dl (odds rati…
