Association between an Internet-Based Measure of Area Racism and Black Mortality
Racial disparities in health are well-documented and represent a significant public health concern in the US. Racism-related factors contribute to poorer health and higher mortality rates among Blacks compared to other racial groups. However, methods to measure racism and monitor its associations with health at the population-level have remained elusive. In this study, we investigated the utility of a previously developed Internet search-based pr…

Research Collaboratories: Their Potential for Health Behavior Researchers
The range of technical skills and level of comfort with technology are variable in most groups. However, technology tools are just one aspect of the fully realized collaboratory. Ultimately it is the human skills for collaboration rather than the technical excellence of the infrastructure that signals the potential for success
The Promise and Challenge of eHealth Interventions
Health behavior researchers and interventionists need to learn to apply eHealth tools to extend their ability to study and influence health behavior
Importance of Health Education Research to Health Education
To move forward, health educators need to organize their knowledge and make it accessible. This includes explicit and tacit knowledge, work in progress, and a coordinated research agenda. Finally, health educators need to be flexible so they can enable future research needs
Mammography and Pap test screening among low-income foreign-born Hispanic women in the USA
Little is known about the factors influencing screening among low-income Hispanic women particularly among recent immigrants. A sample of 148 low-income, low-literate, foreign-born Hispanic women residing in the Washington DC metropolitan area participated in the study. The mean age of the sample was 46.2 (SD = 11.5), 84% reported annual household incomes<=$15,000. All women were Spanish speakers and had low acculturation levels. Ninety six perce…
Results From the 1995 National College Health Risk Behavior Survey
Results from the 1995 National College Health Risk Behavior Survey, which monitored health risk behaviors among US college and university undergraduates, suggest that many students' behaviors increase their likelihood of adverse health outcomes. During the 30 days preceding the survey, 34% of the participants had consumed five or more alcoholic drinks on at least one occasion, and 27% had drunk alcohol and driven a car. Thirty-one percent had smo…

Retrospective Pretest-Posttest Analysis versus Traditional Pretest-Posttest Analysis
Traditional pretest-posttest comparisons of self-report data are distorted by response-shift bias. Administration of a retrospective pretest in lieu of the traditional pretest eliminates a form of response-shift bias which distorts the comparability of pretest-posttest measurements. The present study compared the sensitivity of a retrospective pretest-posttest measurement versus a traditional pretest-posttest measurement in detecting a treatment …
Maslach Burnout Inventory: Factor Structures for Samples of Teachers
There is evidence that the original Maslach Burnout Inventory subscales may be improved by tailoring the factor structure and norms for individual professions within the original group. To determine the factor structures of the original 25-item inventory for a homogeneous population of 710 public school teachers from two states data were factor analyzed using principal factoring with iteration. The resulting factor structure was consistent with t…
Validity of Problem-Oriented Record System for Evaluating Treatment Outcome
This paper describes a study of the concurrent validity of therapists' assessments of patients' change as recorded in a problem-oriented record system. A sample of 30 consenting clients was followed over a 3-mo. period. The criterion measures were the Denver Community Mental Health Questionnaire and the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale. The results indicate that the system gives a valid measure for assessing patients' status over time on those dimen…

Reliability of a Problem-Oriented Record System Approach to the Evaluation of Treatment Outcome
The current study investigated the reliability of the Problem-oriented Record System by examining the degree of interrater agreement among four therapists' ratings of the nature of the problem presented and the severity of that problem for 32 outpatients. The data indicate that the system as used provides a reliable system for recording patients' problems on intake, but the interrater reliability for severity ratings was .40. The full implication…

The Vernacular of the Jazz World
THE STUDY OF THE VERNACULAR of the jazz world is necessarily a study in sociology and social psychology as well as in linguistics. For the people who created this peculiarly American idiom did so as a result of the peculiar conditions surrounding the development of modern jazz. Hence, an understanding of their slang is hardly possible without a knowledge of how jazz grew up, who its creators were, and what kind of lives they led. Only then does t…
