The Unseen Picture
PURPOSE: Despite increased national attention to improving rural health, rural Native American populations face unique problems that are often unseen in aggregate research on the rural United States. The objective of this study was to examine rural Native Americans' experiences with serious problems across domains important to health, using rural Whites as a comparison group. METHODS: Using 2 probability-based national telephone surveys (2017 and…
Drivers of differential views of health equity in the U.S
Results suggested that people historically impacted by inequity, e.g., people of color and people with low incomes, had the most comprehensive understanding of the drivers of health and the value of equity. However, dominant beliefs about SDoH and health equity are still generally not aligned with scientific consensus and the prevailing narrative in the public health community
Finding Shelter in the Storm
This paper presents the case study of a 100+ year old school of social work recently shaken by acts of racial aggression targeted toward our Black/African American community. Following campus incidents that received national attention, minority social work students urged faculty to organize action to voice values of equity and justice, and to provide an intentional safe space within our school. In response, a volunteer faculty committee dedicated…
"Tree Thinking"
Tree-like visualizations have played a central role in taxonomic and evolutionary biology for centuries, and the idea of a “tree of life” has been a pervasive notion not only in biology but also in religion, philosophy, and literature for much longer. The tree of life is a central figure in Darwin’s Origin of Species in both verbal and visual forms. As one of the most powerful and pervasive images in biological thought, what conceptual and commun…
Factors related to health civic engagement
Health civic engagement, including voting and volunteering to ultimately guide government decisions about health issues, may help improve conditions that influence health and well-being for all. Focusing on individuals' sense of community and highlighting investments in community health may concurrently be associated with increased health civic engagement and improved community and population health

The Learning Process of Social Work Students After Exposure to an SBIRT Training
To better understand how to train social work students on Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) we tested a path model of students’ learning processes for SBIRT principles. We proposed the following model for the development of students’ SBIRT aptitude: (a) reductions in negative stereotypes about substance usage would lead to (b) increases in the identification of appropriate SBIRT practices, producing (c) gains in com…
Discrimination in the United States
Asians in the United States experience discrimination interpersonally and across many institutional settings, including housing and health care. South Asians may be especially vulnerable to forms of institutional discrimination and microaggressions. These results illustrate a need for greater investigation into the unique experiences of Asian subgroups and greater protections for groups at higher risk of discrimination, within health care and bey…
Discrimination in the United States
Latinos in the United States report experiencing widespread discrimination in health care and other areas of their lives, at significantly higher levels than whites. Being born in the United States and earning a college degree are not protective against discrimination, suggesting that further health and social policy efforts to eliminate discrimination are needed
Discrimination in the United States

Data Source and Study Design Data come from a nationally representative, probability‐based telephone survey including 802 non‐Hispanic black and a comparison group of 902 non‐Hispanic white US adults, conducted January–April 2017. Methods We calculated the percent of blacks reporting discrimina…
The Perspectives of Six Latino Heritage Groups About Their Health Care
The Presumptions of Expertise
The civilian nuclear power enterprise in the United States has had a short and not very happy life. There was an initial period of slow development from the late 1940s through the late 1960s, a very brief period of rapid growth that lasted less than ten years, and then an unforeseen rapid decline beginning in the mid-1970s that was only hastened by the Three Mile Island accident in 1979; this decline has been called "one of the most stunning reve…
Courageous Resistance
Courageous resistance is defined as voluntary selfless behavior in which there is significantly high risk or cost to the actor and possibly to the actor's family and associates, the actor makes a conscious decision to act, and the behavior is sustained over time. Examples include rescue of Jews during the Holocaust, whistle-blowing, and protests leading to imprisonment or physical harm. Courageous resistance is a subset of altruistic behavior, an…

Who's Framing Virginia Woolf
The Rhetoric of Decision Science, or Herbert A. Simon Says
Rhetoric, Aristotle tells us, has to do with things about which we deliberate but for which we have no systematic rules. In more contemporary language, concerns uncertainty. Over the centuries, we have become less certain than Aristotle was about many things, and what we call the new rhetoric reflects the extension of uncertainty to matters other than Athenian civic affairs-beyond ethics and politics to philosophy, the academic disciplines in gen…
Genre as social action
This essay proposes a conception of genre based on conventionalized social motives which are found in recurrent situation-types. The thesis is that genre must be conceived in terms of rhetorical action rather than substance or form
