Introduction
IntroductionEnvironmental Justice in Chicana/o Communities Mary Pardo (bio), Rosa RiVera Furumoto (bio), and Stevie Ruiz (bio) Three Generations of Environmental Activism Three decades ago, Mothers of Eastside Los Angeles (MELA) mobilized one of the largest successful grassroots efforts to defeat dire threats to environmental well-being in a working-class Mexican American community. The political mobilization blocked the construction of the first…
Safety and efficacy of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine (AZD1222) against Sars-CoV-2
Background A safe and efficacious vaccine against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), if deployed with high coverage, could contribute to the control of the COVID-19 pandemic. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine in a pooled interim analysis of four trials. Methods This analysis includes data from four ongoing blinded, randomised, controlled trials done across the UK, Brazil, and South Afri…
Contesting Legal Borderlands
In this article, I analyze the ways in which Mexican farm worker activists inhabited spaces that placed them in a state of legal ambiguity. Indeed, landowners possessed legal authority to punish labor protesters who organized in public space. At the same time, farm workers’ privacy rights were undermined by the tactics that police used to spy on organizing activities. Historians covering this time period have focused on the punitive measures used…
Unearthing Racial Histories of Sexology in the Global South
Race, war, and geography remain unmarked domains within the historiography of sexuality. This article analyzes the work of Joseph M. Carrier, a seminal figure who helped develop the study of homosexuality. In this article, we examine the ways Carrier incorporated studies of various populations from the Global South, from Vietnamese refugees to Mexican MSM (men who have sex with men). In his attempt to collect knowledge about subaltern groups-firs…

Care Coordination Models Improve Quality of Care for Adults Aging With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
A significant gap remains between existing evidence-based care coordination techniques for the general population and those that have been successfully translated for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Two models funded through the Health Care Innovation Awards have dedicated resources to the translation of evidence-based practices in community or clinical settings. This study analyzes quasi-experimental mixed-methods …
A Framework for Rigorous Qualitative Research as a Component of Mixed Method Rapid-Cycle Evaluation
As federal, state, and local governments continue to test innovative approaches to health care delivery, the ability to produce timely and reliable evidence of what works and why it works is crucial. There is limited literature on methodological approaches to rapid-cycle qualitative research. The purpose of this article is to describe the advantages and limitations of a broadly applicable framework for in-depth qualitative analysis placed within …

Two Innovative Cancer Care Programs Have Potential to Reduce Utilization and Spending
BACKGROUND: Cancer patients often present to the emergency department (ED) and hospital for symptom management, but many of these visits are avoidable and costly. OBJECTIVE: We assessed the impact of 2 Health Care Innovation Awards that used an oncology medical home model [Community Oncology Medical Home (COME HOME)] or patient navigation model [Patient Care Connect Program (PCCP)] on utilization and spending. METHODS: Participants in COME HOME a…
Expanded Access to Naloxone Among Firefighters, Police Officers, and Emergency Medical Technicians in Massachusetts
Naloxone is a medication that reverses respiratory depression from opioid overdose if given in time. Paramedics routinely administer naloxone to opioid overdose victims in the prehospital setting, and many states are moving to increase access to the medication. Several jurisdictions have expanded naloxone administration authority to nonparamedic first responders, and others are considering that step. We report here on policy change in Massachuset…
Relationships with Grandparents and the Emotional Well‐Being of Late Adolescent and Young Adult Grandchildren
We investigated whether and under what family conditions young adult grandchildren psychologically benefit from having close and supportive grandparent relations. Relying on parental absence and family systems perspectives, we hypothesized that grandparents will be most effective in reducing depressive symptoms and increasing self‐esteem of grandchildren who were raised in single‐parent and step‐parent families, as well as those with poorer quali…
