A Population-Based Study of Job Stress in Mexican Americans, non-Hispanic Blacks, and non-Hispanic Whites
There is little known about the association between socioeconomic status and job stress in Mexican Americans. To address this issue, data were originated on a community level using personal interviews from working Mexican Americans using a multistage probability sample. In this study we described the population’s sociodemographic characteristics, health conditions, and job stress measures in Mexican Americans, non-Hispanic Whites, and non-Hispani…

Help Seeking for Mental Health Care Among Poor Puerto Ricans: Problem Recognition, Service Use, and Type of Provider
OBJECTIVES: This study examines the effects of health, predisposing, and enabling factors on recognition of a mental health problem, use of formal mental health care, and contact with a specialized mental health provider. METHODS: Interviews were conducted with a probability sample of 3,435 adults. The variables examined include measures of mental health; social and demographic factors; and enabling factors relevant to the help-seeking process. R…

Lack of Social Participation or Religious Strength and Comfort as Risk Factors for Death After Cardiac Surgery in the Elderly
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of social support and religion to mortality after elective open heart surgery in older patients. Of the 232 patients included in the study, 21 died within 6 months of surgery. Three biomedical variables were significant predictors of mortality and selected as adjustment variables for a multivariate analysis: history of previous cardiac surgery; greater impairment in presurgery basic activi…
Diagnosis-Related Group Refinement with Diagnosis- and Procedure-Specific Comorbidities and Complications
Diagnosis-related groups have been revised through more refined uses of secondary diagnoses. Under the refined diagnosis-related groups, patients are distinguished with respect to classes of secondary diagnoses that are disease- and procedure-specific. Each class represents a different level of utilization for a given principal diagnosis or surgical procedure. The refined system was evaluated with national data from the Medicare program. Estimate…
Social Support and Depressive Symptoms in the Elderly
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of characteristics of social networks and support on depressive symptoms in the elderly. The subjects were 1,962 noninstitutionalized persons 65 years and older from the New Haven Establishment of Populations for Epidemiologic Study of the Elderly in 1982, who were available to give a complete follow-up interview in 1985. Baseline depression, functional disability in 1982, and any change in disa…
A Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve Analysis of a Model of Mental Health Services Use by Puerto Rican Poor
In this study, the contribution of four distinct domains of the Help Seeking-Decision Making model to predicting the use of mental health services is examined. Using a proposed methodology the authors assess the relevance of this model and its domains to mental services planning. The methodology combines logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Logistic regression analysis allows us to examine the individua…
Factors Affecting the Utilization of Specialty and General Medical Mental Health Services
This study compares the extent to which need, predisposing, and enabling factors affect the use of mental health services in the specialty and general medical health sectors during a 6-month period. Data are drawn from the first wave of interviews of the Epidemiological Catchment Area (ECA) project at the Yale University site. The results indicate that 1) in the general population, factors affecting use of the two sectors differ; 2) among those u…
Depressive Symptoms in Relation to Physical Health and Functioning in the Elderly
The associations between depressive symptoms and functional disability and chronic conditions are examined in an elderly cohort of 2,806 noninstitutionalized men and women living in New Haven, Connecticut who were interviewed in 1982 as a part of the Yale Health and Aging Project. The aim is to explore several potential sources of invalidity in using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression scale (CES-D) to measure depressive symptoms in e…

Changes in Age and Sex Specific Tonsillectomy Rates: United States, 1970-1977
National estimates of tonsillectomy rates were generated from the Hospital Discharge Survey for the years 1970 and 1977. A comparison of the rates over the seven-year period revealed significant declines in T&A for all age and sex categories and in tonsillectomy alone for males aged 20 through 29. It was also observed that sex differences found in 1970 persisted in 1977. (Am J Public Health 1982; 72:488-491.)
