Using community‐based system dynamics to understand connections between housing and education
In some communities, schools and housing agencies are innovatively partnering to prevent family homelessness and protect students from the negative outcomes associated with housing hardship. While there is increasing interest in expanding the array of housing solutions via school‐housing partnership, more research is needed to understand the complex experiences of families navigating the housing services sector to understand how housing agencies …

Health and economic impact of air pollution in the states of India
BACKGROUND: The association of air pollution with multiple adverse health outcomes is becoming well established, but its negative economic impact is less well appreciated. It is important to elucidate this impact for the states of India. METHODS: We estimated exposure to ambient particulate matter pollution, household air pollution, and ambient ozone pollution, and their attributable deaths and disability-adjusted life-years in every state of Ind…
Association of personal network attributes with clean cooking adoption in rural South India
Adoption of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is the primary policy approach in India to transition rural poor communities toward clean cooking behavior. Prior clean cooking studies show that affordability, accessibility, and awareness impact LPG adoption in India. There is scarce research that explores the association of personal networks of community members in their LPG adoption. In this cross-sectional study, we use standard egocentric personal n…

Dynamics of sustained use and abandonment of clean cooking systems
Clean cooking technologies—ranging from efficient cookstoves to clean fuels—are widely deployed to reduce household air pollution and alleviate adverse health and climate consequences. Although much progress has been made on the technical aspects, sustained and proper use of clean cooking technologies by populations with the most need has been problematic. Only by understanding how clean cooking as an intervention is embedded within complex commu…
Addressing Energy Poverty in India
Decentralized solar photovoltaic (PV) systems have emerged as an option in unelectrified rural areas for clean lighting and reduced kerosene use. Despite benefits, there are significant barriers to implement and sustain solar PV systems because of inadequate understanding of the feedback between adoption, diffusion, and implementation processes in resource poor communities of low and middle income countries. We analyze the social-behavioral and s…

Action research and social development in China
This article argues that the usefulness of action research hinges on a heightened sensitivity towards its relevance and irrelevance to social, economic and cultural environments in which the professional action researchers conduct their research. Its contribution to transforming social situations depends on how well the researchers can bring the different stakeholders of the local community together to learn about themselves and each other, and i…

How do Local Institutions Mediate Market and Population Pressures on Resources? Forest Panchayats in Kumaon, India
This article addresses one of the most controversial issues in resource management: how do population and market pressures affect resource use? After examining some shortcomings in several major approaches to the issue, the authors use structural equation analysis to decipher the relative and reciprocal influence of population pressures, markets, and institutional arrangements on forest use in the Kumaon Himalaya in India. By deploying an approac…
Effects of assets on attitudes and behaviors
Raising asset limits and creating individual development accounts have been proposed in welfare reform. In part, the rationale for these proposals is that assets have positive effects on attitudes and behaviors, including long-term planning, greater work effort, and improved social connectedness. The Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), conducted between 1968 and 1972, included a wide range of attitude and behavior measures. In this study, data…
A structural equation model of burnout and job exit among child protective services workers
Substantial theoretical and empirical work has been done about burnout in child welfare services. The majority of work is based on the three-part conceptualization of burnout embodied in the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). The three elements of the MBI—emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and personal accomplishment (PA)—are commonly viewed as a syndrome, with EE and DP having a strong positive association and PA having a weaker, n…

Effect of Sample Size on Goodness-Fit of-Fit Indices in Structural Equation Models
The effect of sample size on goodness of fit indices that are widely used in structural equation models is discussed and empirically illustrated. Many of the indices discussed in the. article are reported in such applications as LISREL and EQS. GR, AGR, Normed fit index (NFI), Non-normed fit index (NNFI), Incremental fit index (LFI) and Comparative Fit Index (CFI) are examined for iwo types of sample size effects. The means of the sampling distri…
Community Development Programs in Nepal
Many community development programs in developing countries distribute new technology to the rural poor to improve their quality of life. One such technology distributed widely is the improved cookstove. In disseminating improved cookstoves, community development programs have encountered social, cultural, and economic barriers to adoption. In this article, we examine the effect of several social-psychological factors, derived from diffusion of i…
Conditions for Local Level Community Forestry Action a Theoretical Explanation
This paper discusses a local level community forestry action (as opposed to a traditional community forestry program) in central Nepal. It highlights the findings of a case study and outlines factors influencing participation in a community forestry action and their relevance to planning project type social/community forestry programs. Attention is drawn to conditions under which local people are more likely to take a collective local forestry ac…
