Visualizing Parcel-Level Lead Risk Using an Exterior Housing-Based Index
Pediatric lead poisoning remains a persistent public health problem. Children in the US spend the preponderance of their time at home; thus, housing is an important social determinant of health. Improving health outcomes derived from housing-based sources involves differentiating the risks posed by the existing housing stock. In this paper, we developed a parcel-level lead risk index (LRI) based on external housing conditions and the year of home…
The Integral Formation of Catholic School Teachers
The Catholic Church has a long history of conducting schools as part of its mission to evangelize. This paper will contend that in order for teachers to implement the evangelistic mission of Catholic schools, they themselves need an integral formation that puts every dimension of their human nature-body, emotions, will, and intellect-in ongoing communion with Christ and His Church. A brief examination of the impact of secularization in the United…
Clinical Syndromic Phenotypes and the Potential Role of Genetics in Pulmonary Vein Stenosis
Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a rare, frequently lethal disease with heterogeneous phenotypes and an unclear etiology. Limited studies have reported associations between PVS and congenital heart disease (CHD), chronic lung disease (CLD), and/or prematurity; however, to date, there have been no studies that report detailed clinical syndromic phenotypes and the potential role of genetics in PVS. An existing registry of multivessel PVS patients s…
Christian universities as moral communities
We examine the effects of religious educational context, Christian fundamentalist beliefs and religiosity on alcohol use, sexual activity, and illegal drug use. Respondents are 3610 university students at six public state schools and six private schools, three of which are affiliated with conservative Christian denominations. Data were gathered from 2010–2013 and done via face-to-face distribution and collection of response. Religious context – e…
The Sounds of Colonization
Tattoos, gender, and well-being among American college students
This research note examines the relationship between survey respondents' reports of escalating numbers of tattoos and their measured levels of self-esteem, depression, suicide ideation, and reports of one or more suicide attempts. Data were gathered from 2,395 college students attending six American public universities. Results indicate a four-fold higher level of reported suicide attempts among females with four or more tattoos as compared to th…
The protestant ethic and the religious tattoo
This research illustrates how basic ideas from Weber's Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism are reflected in religious individuals' choices in obtaining tattoos. Qualitative responses to survey questions show that, among 60 university students who indicated they have one, religious tattoos reflect asceticism in their lives, point them to service (calling) in the name of God, or provide a level of assurance (or anxiety) regarding life aft…
Older Women and Cosmetic Tattooing Experiences
Aging for the older women in the 21st century is more than medical issues. In this study, 62 women (ages 51-81+) obtained a total of 97 permanent makeup procedures. Procurement cues included self-improvement and friend's appearance, consistent with internal, external, and appearance perspectives of body image. Poor eyesight was also of concern (14/23%). Actual benefits included saving makeup time and money (external), while achieving personal goa…
Body art, deviance, and American college students
This research examines the relationship between body art (tattoos and piercings) and deviance. With the increasing mainstream presence of visible tattoos and piercings among entertainers, athletes, and even in corporate boardrooms, we wonder the extent to which long-time enthusiasts and collectors regard the phenomenon as encroachment. We use sub-cultural identity theory to propose that individuals with increasing evidence of body art procurement…
Frequencies and Relations of Body Piercing and Sexual Experience in College Students
This research examined the relation between having a body piercing and having engaged in premarital sexual intercourse. Data were gathered from a convenience sample of 450 college students. 72% were women; 85% were ages 18 to 22 years (M=20.9, SD=4.5), 80% were Euro-American. Women with piercings reported substantively and significantly greater frequency of sexual activity than college students without piercings. There were no significant differe…

Correlates of Tattoos and Reference Groups
520 college students from a public university in the southwest were questioned to examine correlations between having a tattoo and the presence of tattoos among their family and friends. Tattoos among both friends and family were positively correlated with respondents' having a tattoo. The magnitude of friends' influence was about double the influence of family
College Students, Tattoos, and Sexual Activity
This research examined the association of having a tattoo and engaging in premarital sexual intercourse. Data gathered from a convenience sample of 450 college students indicated that tattooed respondents were substantively and significantly more likely to be sexually active than nontattooed college students. Tattooed men became sexually active at a significantly earlier age than nontattooed men but no such difference was found between tattooed a…
College Students, Tattooing, And The Health Belief Model
This research extends social psychological models which have previously been used to explain tattooing behavior. We apply the Health Belief Model to the decision-making process by which young adults express interest in or obtain a tattoo. We examine the five components of the Health Belief Model with regard to the likelihood of being tattooed, being interested in tattoos, or ob-taining a (or another) tattoo. Survey data were gathered from 520 und…
Correlations of Religious Belief and Practice with College Students' Tattoo-Related Behavior
This research builds on a large body of literature which suggests that religious belief and practice suppress deviant behavior. Survey data from 520 undergraduates (64% freshmen and sophomores; 70% female; 80% Euro-American) at a large public university in the southwest were examined for whether students' strength of religious faith, church attendance, or frequency of prayer correlated with their having a tattoo, being interested in tattoos, or b…
Religious Belief and Practice in Attitudes toward Individuals with Body Piercing
Some research suggests adorning the body with tattoos or piercing jewelry is normative. Survey data were gathered from 450 undergraduates (72% female; 80% Euro-American; 63% freshmen and sophomores). Correlations between an index of respondents' religious belief and practice and their attitudes toward individuals who had more body piercings were weak if piercings were 7 or more, including piercings of the nipples and genitals. As religiosity is a…
Source of Support and Mastery
OLS multiple regression findings from a stratified random sample of 783 El Paso County, Texas residents indicate that possession of what the authors refer to as "resource-in-place support" induces a perception of environmental mastery, whereas familism does not significantly associate with this perception. Findings also suggest that, although possession of a resource-in-place support system would be beneficial for members of all socioeconomic str…
Religious Reference Groups and the Persistence of Normative Behavior
Reference groups and signiücant others are vitally important in both the formation and the persistence or change of normative as well as deviant behavior patterns. Thus one’s initial religious beliefs and behav-ior (or lack thereof) reýect the socializing inýuence of the family. However, the situation may change when young people leave home for education or work, as demonstrated by research that shows decreases in religious beliefs or church atte…

Community Structure and Vietnamese Refugee Adaptation
This article examines the significance of understanding the refugee experience as a product of the relationship between individual refugees and the larger social context or environment. It suggests that studies focusing upon such relationships, linking both micro and macrolevel data, could provide useful insights about refugee adaptation in varied contexts. To illustrate the usefulness of such an approach, an analysis of the effects of community …
