Indigenous perspectives on climate mobility justice and displacement-mobility-immobility continuum
For millennia, Indigenous Peoples around the world have prepared for, coped with, and survived disasters and environmental change, and human-induced events. Along the way, these experiences – and a keen understanding of the environment in which they live – have borne what we refer to today as Indigenous Knowledges. Among the most significant of the human-induced events, colonization has disrupted Indigenous strategies of self-determination and re…
Lobbying and Society
Opportunity or Necessity? Disaggregating Self-Employment and Entry at Older Ages
Bridging the literatures on entrepreneurship and the aging workforce, we study the factors, particularly job loss, wealth, education, and risk aversion, associated with entry into self-employment at older ages using a multinomial logit hazard model. Using the Health and Retirement Study, we disaggregate self-employment by defining four types through an interaction along two scopes: one that divides along those with supervisory responsibilities or…
Public Support for Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act Point-of-Sale Provisions
Objectives. We assessed public and smoker support for enacted and potential point-of-sale (POS) tobacco-control policies under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. Methods. We surveyed a US nationally representative sample of 17 507 respondents (6595 smokers) in January through February 2013, and used linear regression to calculate weighted point estimates and identify factors associated with support for POS policies among adult…
Social Processes in Lobbyist Agenda Development
How are lobbying agendas formed? While individual interest matters, a social process may also affect why lobbyists choose legislation on which to lobby. In a crowded environment, looking at what credible others do may help lobbyists lower their search and information costs with regard to an issue. Using longitudinal network data on lobbyists' legislative choices, I analyze the choices of organizations using an actor‐based dynamic model of network…

A Low-Cost Approach to Prospective Identification of Impending High Cost Outcomes
OBJECTIVES: The overall objective of this study was to define and evaluate patterns of use of medical services in the care of patients with chronic illness that represent circumstances which, if modified, might lead to reduction in risk of acute-level care. METHODS: This was a retrospective observational study. The study population consisted of Kaiser Permanente enrollees at four sites during January 1993 through June 1995, who were 20 to 64 year…

The Voluntary Association in the Slum
1 / Voluntary Associations in a Zone of Transition\nThis report is a study of formal voluntary associations in a zone of transition. It seeks information on the various kinds of voluntary organizations to be found in such an area, the characteristics of the members, the manner in which people become affiliated with organizations, and the functions that organizations serve for their members. The specific associations studied include such diverse g…
Membership and Participation in Voluntary Associations
SOCIOLOGISTS and students from other disciplines have observed and reported upon proliferation of voluntary in the United States and upon the important influence of this phenomenon on American society.' Voluntary associations, though found in other contemporary industrialized societies, have been peculiarly and intimately related to the early and continued development of democracy in this country.2 The fact that pioneers through the agency of vol…
