  • Population health science as a unifying foundation for translational clinical and public health research

    Open AccessMark R Cullen, Michael Baiocchi et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2022

    Separated both in academics and practice since the Rockefeller Foundation effort to “liberate” public health from perceived subservience to clinical medicine a century ago, research in public health and clinical medicine have evolved separately. Today, translational research in population health science offers a means of fostering their convergence, with potentially great benefit to both domains. Although evidence that the two fields need not and…

We performed a prospective analysis of data on 2923 nonobese, nonpregnant women aged 14 to 22 years from the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth Cohort, which was followed from 1980 to 1990. We used multivariable logistic regression analyses to determine the adjusted relative risk of obesity for mothers 5 years after childbirth compare…

  • Randomized, Controlled Trials, Observational Studies, and the Hierarchy of Research Designs

    John Concato, Nirav R Shah et al.ARTICLENew England Journal of Medicine2000

    BACKGROUND: In the hierarchy of research designs, the results of randomized, controlled trials are considered to be evidence of the highest grade, whereas observational studies are viewed as having less validity because they reportedly overestimate treatment effects. We used published meta-analyses to identify randomized clinical trials and observational studies that examined the same clinical topics. We then compared the results of the original …

  • South African Realities and Realpolitik

    Open AccessRalph Horwitz, Ralph I HorwitzARTICLEThe Political Quarterly1978

    South Africa is a country of major and powerful tribes, of many sub‐tribes, of one large non‐tribe, and of two articulate communities (the Asians and mixed‐race coloureds). Chief among the tribes in their history and their right to control tracts of South Africa are the white Afrikaner tribe led by Mr, Vorster himself and the black Zulus led by Chief Gatsha Buthelezi. Both dominate, but are feared and resented by, the rest of their respective rac…
