Long-term impacts of hurricanes on mortality among Medicare beneficiaries
Objectives Hurricane-related flooding has long-term socioeconomic effects on impacted areas; however, little is known about the long-term health effects on vulnerable, older residents who remain in impacted neighborhoods. We examined mortality rates among older adults who continued living in ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs) impacted by flooding from Hurricane Sandy for up to 5 years after landfall. Methods We conducted a propensity-score matched…
Closing the Knowledge Gap in the Long-Term Health Effects of Natural Disasters
Natural disasters continue to worsen in both number and intensity globally, but our understanding of their long-term consequences on individual and community health remains limited. As climate-focused researchers, we argue that a publicly funded research agenda that supports the comprehensive exploration of these risks, particularly among vulnerable groups, is urgently needed. This exploration must focus on the following three critical components…
Technical considerations when implementing digital infrastructure for social policy
Big data and advanced computational methods are increasingly being used to inform decision making in social policy globally. As a result, there is a pressing need to identify best practice digital infrastructure design that allows policymakers and social sciences researchers to access, manipulate and use big data soundly and ethically, while identifying and resolving issues that can lead to unintended consequences and adverse social policy outcom…
Framework for a Community Health Observing System for the Gulf of Mexico Region
The Gulf of Mexico (GoM) region is prone to disasters, including recurrent oil spills, hurricanes, floods, industrial accidents, harmful algal blooms, and the current COVID-19 pandemic. The GoM and other regions of the U.S. lack sufficient baseline health information to identify, attribute, mitigate, and facilitate prevention of major health effects of disasters. Developing capacity to assess adverse human health consequences of future disasters …
From information to intervention
Emerging disease threats are on the rise. Risk communication in an emerging threat is used by public health officials to reach the population in a timely and effective manner. However, limited research has drawn on data gathered during an emerging threat to understand how risk communication shapes intervention perceptions. This analysis examines the relationship between risk communication, especially where information comes from, and receptivity …

A Critical Look at NGOs and Civil Society as Means to an End in Uzbekistan
This article illustrates how conceptual ambiguities in development work can lead to corruption of the entire aid project based on the international conference in Washington D.C. and the local training seminar in Uzbekistan. It also examines the dialectic of acceptance and subversion of the ideals of nongovernmental organizations by local recipients. In this process the concept of civil society loses any universally understood meaning and value; i…
