Political democracy, economy, and cancer risk: A comparative analysis of 170 countries
Much literature acknowledges the importance of political systems for population health. People living in democratic countries tend to have higher life expectancies and lower rates of infant mortality compared to those in other countries. However, few quantitative comparative studies explore the political origins of chronic disease. To address this gap, this study examines the impact of political democracy on cancer risk. Using data from the Globa…
Discretion as weakness: Exploring the relationship between correctional officers' attitudes toward discretion and attempted boundary violations
Research paints discretion as a tool correctional officers (COs) use to navigate their work. Discretion helps COs gain compliance and resolve conflicts amicably, and officers sometimes use it to improve relationships with incarcerated people. However, research also suggest that COs' reliance on discretionary power may produce harmful complications, undermining institutional regulations and creating conditions for serious rule violations. Little q…
Civil service organization as a political determinant of health: Analyzing relationships between merit-based hiring, corruption, and population health
Hierarchies of Categorical Disadvantage: Economic Insecurity at the Intersection of Disability, Gender, and Race
Intersectional feminist scholars emphasize how overlapping systems of oppression structure gender inequality, but in focusing on the gendered, classed, and racialized bases of stratification, many often overlook disability as an important social category in determining economic outcomes. This is a significant omission given that disability severely limits opportunities and contributes to cumulative disadvantage. We draw from feminist disability a…
Not all built the same? A comparative study of electoral systems and population health
Politics and population health: Testing the impact of electoral democracy
Black-White health inequalities in Canada at the intersection of gender and immigration
South Asian-White health inequalities in Canada: Intersections With Gender and Immigrant Status
Our findings provide modest support for the intersectionally inspired principle that combinations of identities derived from race, gender and nationality constitute sui generis categories in the manifestation of health outcomes
Does the mortality risk of social isolation depend upon socioeconomic factors
This study considers whether socioeconomic status influences the impact of social isolation on mortality risk. Using data from the Alameda County Study, Cox proportional hazard models indicate that having a high income worsens the mortality risk of social isolation. Education may offset risk, however, and the specific pattern that emerges depends on which measures for socioeconomic status and social isolation are included. Additionally, lonely pe…
Black–White Health Inequalities in Canada
Health differences between Black and White Canadians: Revisiting Lebrun and LaVeist (2011, 2013)
In an article previously published in Canadian Ethnic Studies , Lebrun and LaVeist (2013) analyzed pooled data from four cycles of the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) to find that native-born Black Canadians tend to report comparable or better health outcomes than native-born White Canadians. We suggest that several problematical modelling decisions led to a misrepresentation of Black-White health inequalities among native-born Canadians.…
Obstacles and momentum on the path to post-genocide and mass atrocity reparations: A comparative analysis, 1945–2010
In contemporary human rights politics, much international effort is invested in securing reparative settlements in the aftermath of genocide and mass atrocities. This article details a broad comparative research project in which we seek to map the respective paths of 47 post-genocide and mass atrocity reparations claims. Based on the findings of this study, using a mixed-methods approach, we highlight some potential obstacles within claims proces…
