Modeling complex interactions in a disrupted environment
When subjected to a sudden, unanticipated threat, human groups characteristically self-organize to identify the threat, determine potential responses, and act to reduce its impact. Central to this process is the challenge of coordinating information sharing and response activity within a disrupted environment. In this paper, we consider coordination in the context of responses to the 2001 World Trade Center (WTC) disaster. Using records of commun…
Development and Feasibility Testing of the Clinical-Community Linkage Self-Assessment Survey for Community Organizations
Introduction: Clinical-community linkages (CCLs) can improve health, but few instruments exist to evaluate these partnerships. To address this gap, we develop and test the Clinical-Community Linkage Self-Assessment Survey (CCL Self-Assessment). Materials and Methods: We built on an existing framework and conducted a literature review to guide the design of our survey, and obtained feedback from academic, clinical, and community-based experts. To …

Women's Wage Theft
In this study, the authors identify and analyze a distinct and understudied source of gender inequality: gender differences in violations of wage-related workplace laws. The authors find that women have significantly higher rates of minimum wage and overtime violations than men and also lose more of their earnings to wage theft than men. In the case of minimum wage violations, the authors also find that nativity and immigration status strongly me…

Responder Communication Networks in the World Trade Center Disaster
Using archival materials obtained from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, we analyze networks of communication and interaction among responders to the World Trade Center disaster. Our findings indicate substantial variability in individual radio communication system usage, with both communication volume and number of partners exhibiting distributions with long upper tails. Responder communication patterns are well-described by a fairl…
Gendered Living Arrangements Among Children With Disabilities
Using data on disabilities from the 2000 Census, we found a consistent pattern of living arrangements that leaves children (aged 5 - 15 years) with disabilities living disproportionately with women. Children with disabilities are more likely to live with single parents, and especially their mothers, than are other children. Further, those who do not live with either biological parent are more likely to live in households headed by women than are …
