Is science still an old boys’ network? A structural approach for assessing patterns of gender heterophily in a large research network
Introduction Modern social and health sciences are inherently collaborative through team science, scientific collaboration between at least two people with an interdependent relationship. Despite evidence supporting the case for team science, some groups experience limited collaborative opportunities. In 2006 the National Institutes of Health’s Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) established programs with a goal of promoting translat…

Building the Next Generation of Researchers
PROBLEM: Dissemination and implementation (D&I) science provides the tools needed to close the gap between known intervention strategies and their effective application. The authors report on the Mentored Training for Dissemination and Implementation Research in Cancer (MT-DIRC) program-a D&I training program for postdoctoral or early-career cancer prevention and control scholars. APPROACH: MT-DIRC was a 2-year training institute in which fellows…
An Examination of Two Policy Networks Involved in Advancing Smokefree Policy Initiatives
This study examines smokefree policy networks in two cities—Kansas City and St. Louis, Missouri—one that was successful in achieving widespread policy success, and one that was not. Descriptive social network analyses and visual network mapping were used to compare importance and contact relationships among actors involved in the smokefree policy initiatives. In Kansas City, where policy adoption was achieved, there was a higher level of connecti…
Using Organizational Network Analysis to Plan Cancer Screening Programs for Vulnerable Populations
Objectives. We examined relationships among organizations in a cancer screening network to inform the development of interventions to improve cancer screening for South Asians living in the Peel region of Ontario. Methods. From April to July 2012, we surveyed decision-makers, program managers, and program staff in 22 organizations in the South Asian cancer screening network in the Peel region. We used a network analytic approach to evaluate densi…
Social network analysis of public health programs to measure partnership
Men and women are from Earth
Taxometric methods enable determination of whether the latent structure of a construct is dimensional or taxonic (nonarbitrary categories). Although sex as a biological category is taxonic, psychological gender differences have not been examined in this way. The taxometric methods of mean above minus below a cut, maximum eigenvalue, and latent mode were used to investigate whether gender is taxonic or dimensional. Behavioral measures of stereotyp…
Exempting casinos from the Smoke-free Illinois Act will not bring patrons back
The Smoke-Free Illinois Act did not have a detectable effect on Illinois casino admissions
Referrals Among Cancer Services Organizations Serving Underserved Cancer Patients in an Urban Area
Significant racial, socioeconomic, and geographic disparities exist nationwide in cancer screenings, treatments, and outcomes. Differences in health and social service provision and utilization may contribute to or exacerbate these disparities. We evaluated the composition and structure of a referral network of organizations providing services to underserved cancer patients in an urban area in 2007. We observed a need for increased awareness buil…
Systems Analysis of Collaboration in 5 National Tobacco Control Networks
Objectives. We studied 5 members of the National Network Consortium on Tobacco Control in Priority Populations. These networks, which consist of governmental and nongovernmental organizations, targeted lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons; Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders; American Indians and Alaska Natives; African Americans; and persons with low socioeconomic status, respectively. Methods. We used statistical…
