Perceived causes of Black–White racial economic inequality and racialized policy attitudes
Attributing racial disparities to factors related to individuals (individual causes) or to societal factors (structural causes) is linked to attitudes toward racial equity policies. Membership in a dominant or subordinated racial group might shape these associations. Using the case of Black and White Americans' attributions for Black–White economic inequality, we investigated the association between distinct kinds of individual (i.e., innate fact…
Internalized racism, stress, and health
5, r = -.06). After adjusting for covariates (gender, age, ethnoracial group, publication year, peer-review status, and form and evaluative focus of IR), only the associations between IR with psychological stress and with negative mental health remained significant. The association between IR and negative mental health was partially explained by health-compromising behaviors, but not by psychological stress. There was mixed evidence of publicatio…

The effects of question order and response-choice on self-rated health status in the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (Elsa)
BACKGROUND: One of the most ubiquitous global health measures is a single self-rated health item. This item may be sensitive to its position in questionnaires and to response-choice wording. The aims of this paper were to investigate the effects of question order and response choice on self-reported health status. METHOD: A secondary analysis of wave 1 of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA). Participants were a nationally representati…
Socioeconomic differentials in mortality among older people
Background The relationship between delayed gastric emptying and upper GI symptoms (UGI Sx) is controversial. Objective To assess association between gastric emptying and UGI Sx, independent of treatment. Design We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature from 2007 to 2017, review of references and additional papers identified by content expert. We included studies evaluating the association between gastric emptying and n…
Individual quality of life in long-term survivors of Hodgkin's lymphoma – a comparative study
An “inverse satisfaction law”? Why don't older patients criticise health services
Health services across the developed world attract high satisfaction ratings from patients, regardless of levels of service effectiveness and equity of access. People aged 65 and over express higher levels of satisfaction with health services than younger adults, and they are much less likely than the latter to report difficulties in access to specialists. Such findings are consistent across different types of health systems, and regardless of wh…
Glossaries in public health
The menthol sensor TRPM8 can be activated by cold and thus serves as a thermometer in a primary afferent sensory neuron for noxious cold detection. However, the underlying design principle is unknown. Here, a hairpin topological structural model and graph theory were prepared to test a role of the cold-dependent hairpin formation in the cold-evoked gating pathway of TRPM8. The results showed that the formation of a large lipid-dependent hairpin i…
Evaluation of specialists' outreach clinics in general practice in England
OBJECTIVES: The wider study aimed to evaluate specialists' outreach clinics in relation to their costs, processes, and effectiveness, including patients' and professionals' attitudes. The data on processes and attitudes are presented here. DESIGN: Self administered questionnaires were drawn up for patients, their general practitioners (GPs) and specialists, and managers in the practice. Information was sought from hospital trusts. The study forme…
Discriminative power of the health status questionnaire 12 in relation to age, sex, and longstanding illness
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To assess the ability of the health status questionnaire 12 (HSQ-12) to discriminate between older and younger age groups, its appropriateness for use with an older population in terms of the spread of responses across categories, floor or ceiling effects, and its ability to discriminate between those with and without a reported longstanding illness and type (sensitivity and specificity). DESIGN AND SETTING: The vehicle for the s…
The effects of illness on quality of life
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To obtain national population norms on pertinent domains of quality of life, and the relative importance of these domains to people with reported longstanding illness. DESIGN AND SETTING: The vehicle for the study was the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys omnibus survey in Great Britain. The sampling frame was the British postcode address file of "small users", stratified by region and socioeconomic factors. This file inc…
Accuracy of electoral registers and Family Practitioner Committee lists for population studies of the very elderly
STUDY OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to assess the accuracy of Family Practitioner Committee (FPC) lists for identifying very elderly people registered with general practitioners. DESIGN: The accuracy of available FPC lists was checked against the most recent electoral register to determine which recorded individuals were still living at their FPC registered addresses. This was followed by a postal and home visit enquiry to validate the …
