Associations Between Exit Type From Federal Housing Assistance and Subsequent Homelessness
Relationships between exit types and homelessness after exiting from federal housing assistance in King County, Washington have yet to be explored. Through a retrospective cohort study including people who exited from Seattle Housing Authority (2012–2018) or King County Housing Authority (2016–2018), differences in time-to-homelessness between groups with different exit types were examined. Among 16,301 people who exited housing assistance, 2,703…
The Relationship Between Exits From Federally Subsidized Housing and Wages, King County, WA
Federally subsidized housing programs aim for economic self-sufficiency. We modeled housing exit type’s relationship with wage income using public housing authority exit data and Washington State wage data. Our cohort included 1,974 exits. Positive exits had higher mean wages ($8,392 vs. $6,643 and $6,253) and working hours (432 vs. 373 and 355) compared to neutral and negative exits, respectively. Households with positive exits were more likely …

H&H linked Medicaid health claims with PHA administrative data to create a sustainable public-facing dashboard that informs health…
The Disposable Author
The best studies on the relationship between pharmaceutical corporations and medicine have recognized that it is an ambiguous one. Yet most scholarship has pursued a simpler, more saleable narrative in which pharma is a scheming villain and medicine its maidenly victim. In this article, I argue that such crude moral framing blunts understanding of the murky realities of medicine's relationship with pharma and, in consequence, holds back reform. M…
Care-seeking and appropriate treatment for childhood acute respiratory illness
Untreated ALRI remains a substantial problem in high mortality countries. In Asia, the large population numbers lead to a high burden of children with untreated ALRI. In Africa, care-seeking behaviors and access to care issues may lead to missed opportunities to treat children with antibiotics
Five Steps for Structural Reform in Clinical Cancer Research
Despite advances in the prevention and early detection of cancer and the treatment of some malignancies, clinical research has not yet delivered treatment benefits of the magnitude anticipated after the launch of imatinib, which established highly effective new treatment standards. The primary impediments to progress are scientific, but the efficiency of research is also affected by structural deficiencies relating to where and by whom it is cond…
