You can’t walk or bike yourself out of the health effects of poverty: Active school transport, child obesity, and blind spots in the public health literature
Mainstream public health theories of obesity attribute current, unprecedented numbers of obese youth to changes in eating practices and levels of physical activity, in turn leading to greater energy consumption and lesser energy expenditure. While substantial research has examined energy consumption among school-age children, key modes of energy expenditure such as active school transport (AST) remain underexplored. Using AST data obtained from t…
The Safe Routes to School Program in California: An Update
Despite efforts to combat increasing rates of childhood obesity, the problem is worsening. Safe Routes to School (SRTS), an international movement motivated by the childhood obesity epidemic, seeks to increase the number of children actively commuting (walking or biking) to school by funding projects that remove barriers preventing them from doing so. We summarize the evaluation of the first phase of an ongoing SRTS program in California and disc…
Medical ideology as a double-edged sword: The politics of cure and care in the making of Alzheimer's disease
Food for thought: Menu labeling as obesity prevention public health policy
This article discusses the evidence for menu labeling as obesity prevention public health policy. While sympathetic to providing nutritional information, whether food is consumed at restaurants or purchased for home consumption, the authors raise a word of caution against the assumption that menu labeling will significantly lead to healthier food choices, lower obesity rates, and decreased obesity disparities. The authors find little empirical ev…
Family caregiving in the Pacific Rim: Results of a survey conducted in California, Shanghai and Beijing
This study compares the results of a survey conducted in California and China, specifically in the areas of Shanghai and Beijing, on family caregiving (N = 2200). Both descriptive and multivariate methods of analysis were used to examine similarities and differences in the ways in which primary caregivers and their families were impacted by caregiving. Significant differences were found in areas such as the proportion of male caregivers, the leng…
Resisting social disenfranchisement: Negotiating collective identities and everyday life with memory loss
Timely Follow-up Among Multicultural Women With Abnormal Mammograms
The precede-proceed model is useful in delineating personal and structural factors that affect timely diagnosis
Cervical Intraepithelial Lesions and Cervical Cancer Among Asian Pacific Islander Women in a Cervical Cancer Screening Program
Utilizing data from a cervical cancer screening program in California, we examined the relationship between being a woman of Asian/Pacific Islander (API) origin and receiving different types of abnormal cervical diagnoses. Initial descriptive data reflected a higher than expected percentage of API subjects with a final diagnosis of in situ and invasive cervical cancer when compared with other subjects in other ethnic groups (N = 2792). Results of…

Alzheimer's Disease: The Unpaid Burden of Caring
This study presents detailed estimates of the hours and cost of informal care provided to Alzheimer's disease patients in Northern California. Data were collected over 12 months from 93 community-residing patients and their caregivers and from 94 institutionalized patients and their caregivers. Patients residing in the community received an average of 286 hours per month of unpaid care, whereas institutionalized patients received 36 hours per mon…
The Differential Impact of Alzheimer's Disease on Older Women
The relationship between gender and Alzheimer's Diease is explored in the paper. Data are based on a sample (N = 2245) of subjects screened at California's Alzheimer's Disease Diagnostic and Treatment Centers who have been diagnosed as having possible or probable Alzheimer's Disease. Demographic variables, service utilization patterns, neurological, behavioral, functional and cognitive problems and infonnal caregiving characteristics are compared…
From Senility to Alzheimer's Disease: The Rise of the Alzheimer's Disease Movement
Alzheimer's disease, once a rarely applied medical diagnosis, is now considered to be the fourth or fifth leading cause of death in the United States. Several interrelated factors account for the disease's ascendancy as the preferred category to characterize specific types of neuropsychiatric problems associated with aging. These include a shift in the disease's conceptualization, the emergence of an institutional structure facilitating increased…
