A National Evaluation of Community‐Based Youth Cessation Programs: End of Program and Twelve‐Month Outcomes
Most youth cessation treatment research consists of efficacy studies in which treatments are evaluated under optimal conditions of delivery. Less is known about the effectiveness of youth cessation treatments delivered in real‐world, community based settings. A national sample of 41 community‐based youth cessation programs participated in a longitudinal evaluation to identify site, program, and participant characteristics associated with successf…
Comparison of Two Health-Promotion Programs for Older Workers
Objectives. We examined the effects of 2 worksite health-promotion interventions (compared with a health-education control) on older workers’ healthy behaviors and health outcomes. Methods. We conducted a prospective, randomized controlled trial with 423 participants aged 40 years and older. Participants were categorized into 3 study arms: the COACH intervention combined Web-based risk assessments with personal coaching support, the RealAge inter…

HIV prevalence in San Francisco (0…
Place of Death Among Older Americans: Does State Spending on Home- and Community-Based Services Promote Home Death
BACKGROUND: The majority of Americans die in institutions although most prefer to die at home. States vary greatly in their proportion of home deaths. Although individuals' circumstances largely determine where they die, health policies may affect the range of options available to them. OBJECTIVE: To examine whether states' spending on home- and community-based services (HCBS) affects place of death, taking into consideration county health care r…

Use of Tobacco Cessation Treatments Among Young Adult Smokers: 2005 National Health Interview Survey
Objectives. We compared use of smoking cessation treatments and factors associated with treatment use among young adult smokers and other adult smokers. Methods. We used data from the 2005 National Health Interview Survey core and cancer control supplement. The sample consisted of 6511 current smokers, of whom 759 were aged 18–24 years. Our analyses were weighted to account for differential sampling probabilities and nonresponse rates. We compare…
Using Community-Level Correlates to Evaluate Nonresponse Effects in a Telephone Survey
Understanding the relationship between nonresponse processes and key research variables is central to evaluating if and how nonresponse introduces bias into survey estimates. In most telephone surveys, however, little information is available with which to estimate these effects. We report a procedure for examining the potential effects of nonresponse via analyses that (1) investigate the linkages between community-level (zip code) variables and …

State Expenditures on Home and Community Based Services and Use of Formal and Informal Personal Assistance: A Multilevel Analysis
Despite wide state variation in commitment to home and community-based services (HCBS) for functionally impaired older persons, little is known about how such variation affects older adults' strategies to compensate for their functional limitations. This study examines the association of state HCBS expenditures with use of formal and informal personal assistance among non-institutionalized older Americans aged 70 and older with functional limitat…
Use of Medical Care by African American and White Older Persons: Comparative Analysis of Three National Data Sets
Historically, there has been a large gap between African Americans and Whites in access to health care, but this gap was ostensibly lessened by the advent of Medicare and Medicaid for older adults in the mid 1960s. The extent to which older African Americans continue to receive less access to medical care as a result of economic inequalities, institutionalized forms of discrimination, and life-style factors remains a subject of policy debate. Emp…
Minority use of Community Long-Term Care Services: A Comparative Analysis
A series of national surveys since 1982 have examined health needs of elders. Small proportions of minority elders in each sample have limited our understanding of service use by minorities. This research sought to determine (1) the extent to which minorities have restricted use of community long-term care services as a result of socioeconomic status, family structure, and health status, and (2) the replicability and validity of results across th…
Race, Control, Mastery, and Caregiver Distress
This study investigated the relationship between race, psychological resources of sense of control and caregiver mastery, and distress outcomes of caregiver depression and role stain among 77 African American and 138 White spouse caregivers of persons with dementia. Patterns of association between psychological resources and caregiving distress outcomes varied by type of outcome. Sense of control had a direct negative relationship with depression…
Cohort or developmental determinants of well‐being: A test of competing hypotheses
The focus of this study is a comparison of Levinson's and Easterlin's hypotheses concerning personal well‐being in adulthood. The analysis examines each author's concerns independently and integrates the two in a broader age, period, and cohort analytical framework. Data for the analysis are from two nationwide “Americans View Their Mental Health” surveys (1957, 1976). Indicators of personal distress from these data are analyzed using logistic re…
Status Attainment and Status Maintenance: A Study of Stratification in Old Age
While sociologists have been interested in the stratification process at ages when members of a cohort experience many changes, attention has been focused most on the beginnings of the socioeconomic career. Though many changes also occur later in life, relatively little attention has been given to them. In this paper, the effect of aging on the relation of status variables to income is analyzed through a comparison of status attainment models for…

Status Attainment Research: End of the Beginning or Beginning of the End
Jencks et al. (1983) provide two replications of the Wisconsin status attainment model, comparing their results closely to the results reported by Sewell and Hauser (1975). While concluding that thl WVisconsin data are not seriously biased, they raise a number of questions regarding the interpretation of the model. Hauser et al. (1983), while not responding to the Jencks et al. paper directly, provide analyses which speak to the issues they raise…

Dimensions of Educational and Occupational Attainment in Great Britain
The usual analysis of status attainment has ignored important dimensions of both education and occupation and has consequently underestimated the role of education in the occupational attainment process. We examine four aspects of British educational attainment (years of schooling, type of school attended, examinations passed in school, and qualifications obtained) andfour aspects of occupations (prestige, authority, control, and earnings). The a…
Net Worth as an Aspect of Status
While sociologists have recognized the importance of wealth for analysis of political power, they have given little attention to wealth as a measure of economic status. Yet from both a sociological and an economic point of view, wealth is an important determinant of status and life chances, especially at the end of the life cycle. In this paper we discuss the role of net worth as a component of status, and, using data from the National Longitudin…

Alternative models of the stress buffering hypothesis
The interactive effects of life events and social support on a DSM-III diagnosis of major depressive episode and on number of depressive symptoms were examined. Data are from a stratified random sample of 3,732 community-dwelling adults. The paper focuses on differences between linear probability models and logistic regression models with regard to the definition, detection, and interpretation of interaction effects. Results indicate that conclus…

Social Mobility in Great Britain and the United States
Numerous discussions and some previous research have suggested that the United States and Great Britain should differ in their patterns of social mobility, with Great Britain exhibiting more intergenerational continuity of social position. Some have questioned this view, however, and have offered a different hypothesis. As offered by Featherman, Jones, and Hauser, the counterhypothesis is that differences among Western industrial societies are du…
Status Claims and Status Attainment: The Determinants of Financial Well-Being
This paper examines the dimensionality of status measures related to net worth and occupation. The measures of status considered include: home equity, savings, real estate assets, business assets, earnings, and pension coverage. We consider the role of each in status evaluations and examine empirically whether the process of attainment of each is the same. We reject this hypothesis and present a final model that allows a different process of atta…

Race and Social Status Differences in the Explanation of Educational Ambition
Educational ambition has been shown to be very important in models of status attainment. But other research results suggest that ambition develops in different ways among black (and possibly other lower-status) individuals than among their white counterparts. This paper analyzes the antecedents of educational ambitions of twelfth grade boys, comparing blacks with high- and low-status whites. The black-white comparison reveals major differences in…
