Non-Emergency Medical Transportation Needs of Middle-Aged and Older Adults
Background : Older adults in rural areas have unique transportation barriers to accessing medical care, which include a lack of mass transit options and considerable distances to health-related services. This study contrasts non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) service utilization patterns and associated costs for Medicaid middle-aged and older adults in rural versus urban areas. Methods : Data were analyzed from 39,194 NEMT users of Logis…
Betty Reardon’s philosophy of peace education and the centrality of justice
There is no clear description of an approach to justice that is related to peace education. Betty Reardon’s writing holistically connects peace and justice. While there are various traditions of justice, such as utilitarianism and contractarianism (social contract), the breadth of Reardon’s writing suggests that justice, in terms of its relationship with peace, is most consistent with the capabilities or human development approach to justice. Pop…

Problems With Vision Associated With Limitations or Avoidance of Driving in Older Populations
The risk ratio is relevant for evaluating individuals; the attributable risk is relevant to planning countermeasures in populations. Addressing specific problems related to vision should substantially reduce driving limitations due to eyesight
Occupational stressors and hypertension
Critique of U.S. Work/Family Programs and Policies
This article analyzes the work/family programs and policies of the United States. Work/family programs are those that provide benefits to working people in order to facilitate their dual roles as family members and employees. They include family and medical leaves, flexible work arrangements, assistance with child and elder care, and counseling in conjunction with Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs). This article discusses the historical backgrou…
Social Dominance and 22-Year All-Cause Mortality in Men
OBJECTIVE: Research findings suggest that, in addition to hostility, social dominance-related variables may be related to morbidity and mortality. The purposes of the present study were to evaluate a) whether pressured social dominance (defined as a pattern of structured-interview-defined characteristics of verbal competition, immediateness of response, and fast speaking rate) was related to long-term health outcomes, namely, all-cause mortality,…
Socioeconomic indicators and mortality from coronary heart disease and cancer
OBJECTIVES: Data from the Western Collaborative Group Study were used to determine the extent to which the inverse association between socioeconomic status (SES) and mortality can be explained by risk factors for major causes of mortality. METHODS: The relation of education and income to subsequent mortality was studied in 3154 employed, middle-aged men over 22 years of follow-up. RESULTS: Over the follow-up period, 584 (18.5%) men died, 214 (6.8…
Job strain and prevalence of hypertension in a biracial population of urban bus drivers
OBJECTIVES. In this study we tested the association between occupational stress--as measured by job demands, decision latitude, and job strain--and hypertension in a population of 1396 Black and White bus drivers. METHODS. Height, weight, blood pressure, and medical history were assessed by physical exam. Drivers completed a questionnaire assessing their work schedules, personal habits, and self-perceptions about job demands and decision latitude…
