  • Smoking Cessation and Stress Among Teenagers

    Open AccessGregory P Falkin, Craig S Fryer et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2007Cited by: 1References: 19

    The authors describe the experience of quitting smoking, focusing on the obstacles youth struggle with, based on individual interviews and focus groups with 54 teenagers in New York City.

  • Assessing the Consequences of Using Self-report Data to Determine the Correlates of HIV Status

    David Rindskopf, David M Rindskopf et al.ARTICLEMultivariate Behavioral Research2003

    This article examines whether relationships between individual characteristics and HIV status can be identified when self-report data are used as a proxy for HIV serotest results. The analyses use data obtained from HIV serotests and face-to-face interviews with 7,256 out-of-treatment drug users in ten sites from 1992 to 1998. Relationships between 17 individual characteristics and HIV status (measured both by self-report and serotest results) we…

The vast majority of women used methamphetamine regularly during the past year, and most of…

  • Modeling Relationships Between Two Categorical Variables When Data Are Missing

    Shiela M Strau, Shiela M Strauss et al.ARTICLEMultivariate Behavioral Research2001

    Analysts evaluating the strengths of relationships between variables in behavioral science research must often contend with the problem of missing data. Analyses are typically performed using data for cases that are either complete in all the variables, or assume that the data are missing at random. Often, these approaches yield biased results. Using empirical data, the current work explores the implications and consequences of using various stat…

  • The Everyday Policing of Women with Romantic Codefendants

    Dorinda Welle, Gregory P Falkin et al.ARTICLEWomen & Criminal Justice2000

    In a multi-site ethnographic study of women offenders in drug treatment, we identified a subsample of women whose “codefendants” were also their romantic partners. However, relationships between women and their romantic codefendants are only partially described in existing studies of crime partners, codefendants, and battered women. Romantic codefendant relationships are conditioned by law enforcement efforts and the social control and surveillan…
