Later-Life Friendship in Advance Care Planning: Variation by Marital Status and Gender
Friendship is an understudied social context in research on advance care planning (ACP). Using data from the Health and Retirement Study (2018-2020), we examine the associations between the quality and quantity of friendships and older adults’ engagement in advance directives (AD) and end-of-life (EOL) discussions. Multivariable logistic regressions show that having any friends is associated with greater odds of AD and EOL discussions. Number of …
Black and White Older Adults’ End-of-Life Experiences: Does Hospice Use Mitigate Racial Disparities
Objectives Racial disparities in end-of-life care are well documented, but less is known about how these inequalities shape assessments of death quality. This study examines Black–White differences in two core dimensions of proxy-reported end-of-life experience: perceived death quality and perceived care concordance. We also assess whether hospice care moderates racial differences in death quality outcomes. Methods Data are from the Health and Re…
Marital Status and Advance Care Planning Among Older Adults: Do Gendered Patterns Vary by Age
Healthcare providers can better guide end-of-life consultations if they understand how men's and women's family relationships change with advancing age
Employment Pathways during Economic Recession and Recovery and Adult Health
Our study bridges literatures on the health effects of job loss and life course employment trajectories to evaluate the selection into employment pathways and their associations with health in the short and medium terms. We apply sequence analysis to monthly employment calendars from a population-based sample of working-age women and men observed from 2009 to 2013 (N = 737). We identify six distinct employment status clusters: stable full-time em…

Cigarette taxes, prices, and disparities in current smoking in the United States
Increasing cigarette taxes has been the cornerstone of tobacco control policy. Recent work has argued that raising cigarette taxes alone may no longer be an effective strategy for lowering smoking rates. We largely confirm these findings but also find that increases in price continue to predict lower smoking participation in most model specifications. We argue that raising cigarette prices via taxation remains an effective public health policy. W…
Smoke-Free Policies and Smoking Cessation in the United States, 2003–2015
(1) Background: Smoking restrictions have been shown to be associated with reduced smoking, but there are a number of gaps in the literature surrounding the relationship between smoke-free policies and cessation, including the extent to which this association may be modified by sociodemographic characteristics. (2) Methods: We analyzed data from the Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey, 2003-2015, to explore whether multiple me…
Rent assistance and health: Findings from Detroit
This study assesses the relationship between rent assistance and health in a longitudinal, population-representative sample collected in the Detroit metro area. Previous research has found that rent assistance recipients are less healthy than otherwise similar non-recipients in the cross-section, but the evidence about the effects of rent assistance on health in the long run is ambiguous. Our study uses panel survey data to compare the health of …

Curing over-use by prescribing fees: An evaluation of the effect of user fees’ implementation on healthcare use in the Czech Republic
In 2008, the Czech Republic instituted a new policy that requires most patients to pay a small fee for some inpatient and outpatient healthcare services. Using the Survey of Health Aging and Retirement in Europe, this article examines the changes in healthcare utilization of Czechs 50 years and older following the new fee requirement by constructing difference-in-differences regression models focusing on four outcome measures: any visits to prima…

Effects of the Great Recession: Health and Well-Being
The existing evidence linking recessions to individual and population health presents a puzzle. Some studies show that people who experience the kinds of labor market, housing, and asset shocks that proliferate in recessions suffer negative health consequences, whereas other studies show that mortality rates fall when the economy worsens. This review synthesizes evidence from these distinct research traditions in light of emerging findings from t…
Unemployment, measured and perceived decline of economic resources: Contrasting three measures of recessionary hardships and their implications for adopting negative health behaviors
The Great Recession and Health: People, Populations, and Disparities
Two research traditions have evolved to assess links between recessions and health, with seemingly divergent findings. Aggregate-level studies generally find that mortality rates decline during recessionary periods. By contrast, individual-level studies generally find that events that frequently occur during recessions, like job loss, unemployment, and material hardship, carry negative health consequences. We comprehensively review evidence from …
Debt and Foregone Medical Care
Most American households carry debt, yet we have little understanding of how debt influences health behavior, especially health care seeking. We examined associations between foregone medical care and debt using a population-based sample of 914 southeastern Michigan residents surveyed in the wake of the late-2000s recession. Overall debt and ratios of debt to income and debt to assets were positively associated with foregoing medical or dental ca…
