Possession, Witness or Victim
Purpose Although the impacts of family violence on children are profound and lifelong, children are often invisible victim/survivors of family violence. This marginalization occurs both through the actions of adults around them and through the language used to discuss or occlude their suffering. A widely recognized example of this pattern is treating children as witnesses rather than victim/survivors. In this paper we explore how linguistic struc…
Accuracy of Cancer Registry Primary Payer Information and Implications for Policy Research
BACKGROUND: Cancer registry-based "primary payer at diagnosis" (PPDx) data are commonly used to evaluate the effect of insurance on cancer care outcomes, yet little is known about how well they capture Medicaid or Medicare enrollment. METHODS: We linked the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registry data to monthly Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Medicaid and Medicare enrollment records, stat…
Impact of Affordable Care Act Provisions on the Racial Makeup of Patients Enrolled at a Deep South, High-Risk Breast Cancer Clinic
Purpose Black women are less likely to receive screening mammograms, are more likely to develop breast cancer at an earlier age, and more likely to die from breast cancer when compared to White women. Affordable Care Act (ACA) provisions decreased cost sharing for women's preventive screening, potentially mitigating screening disparities. We examined enrollment of a high-risk screening program before and after ACA implementation stratified by rac…
Cancer-Related Financial Hardship Screening as Part of Practice Transformation
BACKGROUND: Data on financial hardship, an "adverse event" in individuals with cancer, are needed to inform policy and supportive care interventions and reduce adverse economic outcomes. METHODS: Lay navigator-led financial hardship screening was piloted among University of Alabama at Birmingham oncology patients initiating treatment in October 2020. Financial hardship screening, including reported financial distress and difficulty, was added to …
A sociolinguistic perspective on the (quasi-)modals of obligation and necessity in Australian English
This article examines the distribution and sociolinguistic patterning of (quasi-)modals which express strong obligation/necessity, namely must, have to, have got to, got to and need to , in Australian English. Variationist studies in other varieties of English have had contrasting findings in terms of distributions of root forms, as well as their conditioning by social and linguistic factors. The corpus analysis suggests real-time increased use …
Appeals to Semiotic Registers in Ethno‐Metapragmatic Accounts of Variation
Discussions of folklinguistic accounts of language use are frequently focused on dismissing them because of their limitations. As a result, not a lot is written regarding how such accounts are done and how they “work.” This article examines how folklinguistic evaluations are achieved in interaction, particularly through appeals to semiotic registers (Agha 2007). It describes how in explaining their beliefs regarding linguistic variation, speakers…
Understanding the place of Australian English
This paper explores Australian English (AuE), utilising a folk linguistic approach and engaging with its use in novel-writing. It is argued that discussions by contemporary Australian authors about their approaches to writing and voicing characters, and the actual voices authors give to their characters can be used as data to gain new understandings of what language forms have social meanings within AuE. The value of this analytical approach is t…
Life-Space Predicts Health Care Utilization in Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Life-space is a practical alternative in predicting future health care utilization to performance-based measures, which can be difficult to incorporate into clinical or public health practice
