Cigar-Specific Health Warnings: Attention, Recall, and Perceived Effectiveness Among Young Adult Users and Non-Users
Understanding the best performing health warnings is a crucial strategy to share accurate information on the risks of tobacco use. Our findings suggest that the warning on cancer risk even without inhaling drew the greatest visual attention and highest rating of perceived effectiveness among this sample of young adult cigarillo users and non-users
New frontiers in student evaluations of teaching: University efforts to design and test a new instrument for student feedback
Student evaluations of teaching (SETs) are a ubiquitous feature of higher education. However, scholars have presented numerous challenges to the accuracy, validity, reliability and objectivity of SETs as a measure of teaching effectiveness. Given the potential for bias, the use of SETs in professional review may constitute a form of institutional discrimination. Therefore, institutions of higher learning need to develop, adopt and refine better m…
Rural Consciousness and Framing Environmental (In)Justice
Both rural regions and urban communities of color are often the target for unwanted land uses in the United States. However, although both types of communities will often organize resistance to the siting of environmentally hazardous facilities within their region, the frames that the activists use may differ dramatically. In this study, we examine a case study of environmental conflict over a proposed industrial hog farm in northern Wisconsin. W…
Exposures and behavioural responses to wildfire smoke
Baptism by Wildfire? Wildfire Experiences and Public Support for Wildfire Adaptation Policies
In recent years, wildfires have ravaged the landscape in many Western American states, especially California. But will these horrific wildfire experiences increase public support for wildfire adaptation measures? We conducted an individual-level survey in California in 2019. Combining survey data with geocoded information about a respondent’s proximity to wildfire events and exposure to wildfire smoke, we assess whether respondents’ experiences i…
The changing risk and burden of wildfire in the United States
Recent dramatic and deadly increases in global wildfire activity have increased attention on the causes of wildfires, their consequences, and how risk from wildfire might be mitigated. Here we bring together data on the changing risk and societal burden of wildfire in the United States. We estimate that nearly 50 million homes are currently in the wildland–urban interface in the United States, a number increasing by 1 million houses every 3 y. To…
Using publicly available satellite imagery and deep learning to understand economic well-being in Africa
Accurate and comprehensive measurements of economic well-being are fundamental inputs into both research and policy, but such measures are unavailable at a local level in many parts of the world. Here we train deep learning models to predict survey-based estimates of asset wealth across ~ 20,000 African villages from publicly-available multispectral satellite imagery. Models can explain 70% of the variation in ground-measured village wealth in co…

What’s in a Name: Exposing Gender Bias in Student Ratings of Teaching
Adult outcomes of teen mothers across birth cohorts
BACKGROUND: Teen and young adult mothers have lower socioeconomic status than older mothers. OBJECTIVE: This study analyzes the socioeconomic status (SES) of teen, young adult, and older adult mothers across four five-year birth cohorts from 1956 to 1975 who were teens from 1971 to 1994. METHODS: Data were pooled from the 1995, 2002, and 2006-2010 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG). Mothers were categorized by age at first birth and by their…
Naval Stores Extraction in Eastern North Carolina: The Historical Basis of Spatial Inequality within a Core Nation
Within world-systems research there is an overwhelming tendency to treat nation-states as homogenous wholes. With some notable exceptions. this approach downplays the existence and operation of core-periphery relations on the sub-national level and the resultant inequality between different regions of nation-states. This study uses various complementary literatures in an integrative fashion to address this lacuna within the world-systems approach…
Can Online Courses Deliver In-class Results: A Comparison of Student Performance and Satisfaction in an Online versus a Face-to-face Introductory Sociology Course
This study uses a quasi-experimental design to assess differences in student performance and satisfaction across online and face-to-face (F2F) classroom settings. Data were collected from 368 students enrolled in three online and three F2F sections of an introductory-level sociology course. The instructor, course materials, and assessments were consistent between the two delivery formats. The investigators compare student satisfaction and student…
Young Women's Degree of Control over First Intercourse: An Exploratory Analysis
CONTEXT: While policymakers and researchers alike often seem to believe that young women's decision to initiate sexual intercourse is conscious and free of ambiguity, the actual degree of control that such young women exert over first intercourse has rarely been explicitly examined. METHODS: The 1995 National Survey of Family Growth asked all women who had experienced intercourse to rate, on a 1-10 scale, the wantedness of their first intercourse…
