The Transformation of Solidarity: Changing Risks and the Future of the Welfare State
This study investigates the consequences of processes of social individualisation and economic globalisation for welfare state solidarity. Solidarity is defined as the willingness to share risks. The institutions of the welfare state, such as social security or health care insurance, are founded on the willingness of citizens to share risks and organize solidarity between the young and the old, between the healthy and the sick, between the workin…
Displaced: Life in the Katrina Diaspora
Hurricane Katrina forced the largest and most abrupt displacement in U.S. history. About 1.5 million people evacuated from the Gulf Coast preceding Katrina’s landfall. New Orleans, a city of 500,000, was nearly emptied of life after the hurricane and flooding. Katrina survivors eventually scattered across all fifty states, and tens of thousands still remain displaced. Some are desperate to return to the Gulf Coast but cannot find the means. Other…
The State and Civil Society Response to Disaster: The Challenge of Coordination
This article presents a case study of the reception of low-income Hurricane Katrina evacuees in Austin, Texas, to reveal the multiple barriers and problems faced by families and individuals dislodged by Katrina, as well as the difficulties faced by the service providers. The authors surveyed evacuees who had used the emergency shelter system and received housing assistance at least 10 weeks after the disaster. These survey data are supplemented w…

The Impacts of Farm Work on Health: Analyses of the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
Peter J. Guarnaccia, Jacqueline Lowe Angel, Ronald Angel, The Impacts of Farm Work on Health: Analyses of the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, The International Migration Review, Vol. 26, No. 1 (Spring, 1992), pp. 111-132
The Impacts of Farm Work on Health: Analyses of the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
Farmworkers long have been recognized as a disadvantaged group with a wide range of occupationally related health problems. A coherent picture of the major health problems faced by agricultural workers has begun to emerge. This study presents data from the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (HHANES) on the effects of ever having participated in farm work on health status. Thus, it provides the first national level perspective on the…
A Brief Reflection on Measurement and Modeling: A Comment on 'Age and Depression
I find myself in a peculiar situation as a reviewer of the preceding article, as did the editor of this esteemed journal when two reviewers recommended publication of the manuscript largely as it appears here, while I recommended publication only if the analysis was significantly (very significantly) simplified to bring it into conformity with the quality of the data. Let me begin by saying that I am entirely in agreement with the process of blin…
Risk and Selection Processes between the General and the Specialty Mental Health Sectors
This paper examines risk, defined as the threat of danger or disruption, as a contextual concept important for understanding patterns of patient selection and referral. We explore the hypothesis that risks associated with mental disorder, as represented by factors such as thoughts about suicide or problems associated with drinking, increase the probability of referral of patients receiving mental health care from general medical practitioners to …
The factor structure of the CES-D in the Hispanic health and nutrition examination survey: The influences of ethnicity, gender and language
Mind, body, and culture: Somatization among Hispanics
The Use of Subjective Information in Statistical Models
This paper examines problems that arise in using self-reports of subjective information as predictors in mathematical models. The analysis demonstrates that the social construction of such subjective information makes its use in comparative analysis problematic since both its accuracy and the outcome for which it is employed as a predictor are influenced by the respondent's culture and social location. We argue that subjective information is soci…
Single Motherhood and Children's Health
This analysis employs the recently released Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (hispanic HANES) and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey II (NHANES) to determine the effect of a mother's marital status on her report of her child's health for Mexican-American, black, and non-Hispanic white children aged 6 months to 11 years. The results reveal that single mothers report poorer overall physical health for their childre…

Headship and Household Composition among Blacks, Hispanics, and Other Whites
Differences in the prevalence of extended living arrangements are examined among black, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic white female-headed and husband/wife households to evaluate the relative merit of the cultural equivalent and cultural variant explanations of extended structure. Results based on logit analyses indicate that the greater prevalence of extended household structure among Hispanics and blacks is related both to cultural circumstances th…
Determinants of Extended Household Structure: Cultural Pattern or Economic Need
This research examines th relationship between household composition and sources of household income among Hispanics, blacks, and non-Hispanic whites. Specifically, we investigate the extent to which extended living arrangements help buffer the effect of labor market disadvantages faced by minority household heads. Results of logit and regression analyses indicate that differences in the prevalence of extented family households reflect primarily …
