Body Mass Index and Cancer Screening in Older American Indian and Alaska Native Men
Context: Regular screenings are important for reducing cancer morbidity and mortality. There are several barriers to receiving timely cancer screening, including overweight/obesity. No study has examined the relationship between overweight/obesity and cancer screening among American Indian/Alaska Natives (AI/ANs). Purpose: To describe the prevalence of fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) and prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) testing among AI/AN men w…
Job Satisfaction Among Rural Physician Assistants
Because increasing numbers of physicians are being trained in specialized medicine, health professional shortage areas remain common in the United States, and the role of physician assistants (PAS) in health services provision is becoming increasingly important, especially in rural and underserved areas. By most accounts, there is a shortage of PAS in the United States, particularly in rural areas. A nationwide survey was conducted in 1994 to det…
Job Satisfaction and Retention of Rural Community Health Nurses in North Dakota
A correlation between job satisfaction and employment longevity has been demonstrated by a number of researchers. However, the measurable aspects of job satisfaction only partially explain an individual's tenure at a particular job. Information about the relationship between job satisfaction and retention of community health nurses in a rural state was provided by 258 community health nurses in North Dakota who responded to a mailed questionnaire…
Nonfatal Farm Injuries in North Dakota: A Sociological Analysis
The 1980s has not been a particularly prosperous decade for many farm operators. Due to shifts in the agricultural economy, many farmers have experienced farm foreclosure and rural displacement; while many more are at serious risk of losing their farms. Within the context of the agricultural crisis, this study examines the impact of economic hardship on the probability of experiencing a farm injury. Specifically, we hypothesized that farm operato…
Perspectives on Population: An Introduction to Concepts and Issues
This comprehensive, multidisciplinary collection of readings is specifically designed as a sourcebook on population.

Issues include: the economics of fertility, social causes of morality, illegal immigration and refugee migration, Third World urbanization, Malthusian, Marxian and demographic tr…
Understanding Social Impacts: Assessing the Effects of Public Projects
'The book clearly fills a void in the field of social impact assessment and should be well received by researchers involved in the field. One particularly strong point of the book is the presentation and review of studies that have not been published previously in readily accessible forms (e.g. agency reports, project reports, etc.). There is a wealth of information in such sources, and Finsterbusch has done us a service by making some of this ma…
