Understanding the role of cancer worry in creating a "teachable moment" for multiple risk factor reduction
Caregiver Psychological Distress as a Barrier to Influenza Vaccination Among Community-Dwelling Elderly With Dementia
OBJECTIVE: This study examined whether informal caregiver psychologic distress decreases the likelihood of influenza vaccination for community-dwelling elderly with dementia. A secondary aim was to determine whether psychologic distress mediates the relationship between other predisposing, enabling, and medical need variables and vaccination. METHODS: Data were drawn from the 1998 National Longitudinal Caregiver Survey. The final sample consisted…
A randomized controlled trial of the psychosocial impact of providing internet training and access to older adults
The Internet (electronic mail and the World Wide Web) may provide new opportunities for communication that can help older adults avoid social isolation. This randomized controlled trial assessed the psychosocial impact of providing Internet access to older adults over a five-month period. One hundred volunteers from four congregate housing sites and two nursing facilities were randomly assigned to receive Internet training or to a wait list contr…
Informal Costs of Dementia Care
This study provides a comprehensive estimate of the excess costs that result from providing informal dementia care in the community. Unlike previous studies, our estimates excluded costs that caregivers would have incurred if they had not been caregivers. Therefore, results reported here reflect only costs due to informal dementia care
In Search of a Good Death
Despite a recent increase in the attention given to improving end-of-life care, our understanding of what constitutes a good death is surprisingly lacking. The purpose of this study was to gather descriptions of the components of a good death from patients, families, and providers through focus group discussions and in-depth interviews. Seventy-five participants-including physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains, hospice volunteers, patients…

Worklives and Longevity
Recent research on work stress has focused heavily on how the demands and rewards of single jobs influence health or mortality, but has left the implications of broader patterns of worklives largely uninvestigated. Life history data from the Stanford-Terman study is used in this research to explore patterns of career mobility among middle-class men and the implications of these patterns for their longevity. While relatively few men in this study …
