  • C lifford E. T rafzer . Fighting Invisible Enemies

    Open AccessDouglas K MillerARTICLEThe American Historical Review2021

    If viruses, bacteria, and diseases were the invisible enemies in the title of Trafzer’s new book, then we might assume the fight against them was not helped by the visible enemies who advanced a long history of genocide in California, the site of Trafzer’s study. But this was not the case. Native peoples in Southern California proved deeply and sometimes desperately receptive to Western medicine. They welcomed non-Indian nurses into their homes, …

  • The Spider’s Web

    Douglas K MillerCHAPTERCaging Borders and Carceral States2019

    The chapter situates Native American incarcerations within a long history of broken treaties, circumscribed sovereignty, land theft, forced removals, reservation and boarding school confinement, and economic and cultural paternalism. The framework that the chapter offers is one centered on what the author calls “settler custodialism,” where the root of Indian incarceration runs through the reservation system. The chapter locates Native American p…

  • Indians on the Move

    Douglas K MillerBOOKIndians on the Move2019Cited by: 3

    In 1972, the Bureau of Indian Affairs terminated its twenty-year-old Voluntary Relocation Program, which encouraged the mass migration of roughly 100,000 Native American people from rural to urban areas. At the time the program ended, many groups--from government leaders to Red Power activists--had already classified it as a failure, and scholars have subsequently positioned the program as evidence of America's enduring settler-colonial project. …

  • Say We Are Nations

    Douglas K MillerARTICLEEthnohistory2017

    For evidence of the persistent precariousness of tribal sovereignty within the recent United States political sphere one does not need to reach as far back as George W. Bush’s 2004 pratfall attempt at defining the term. As recently as September 2015, Republican Party presidential candidate Rand Paul suggested that Native Americans “don’t do very well because there’s been a lack of assimilation.” Such an appraisal remains frustrating and frighteni…

  • Using Google Street View to Audit the Built Environment

    Cheryl Kelly, Cheryl M Kelly et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Behavioral Medicine2013

    BACKGROUND: Observational field audits are recommended for public health research to collect data on built environment characteristics. A reliable, standardized alternative to field audits that uses publicly available information could provide the ability to efficiently compare results across different study sites and time. PURPOSE: This study aimed to assess inter-rater reliability of built environment audits conducted using Google Street View i…

  • Observer ratings of neighborhoods

    Open AccessElena M Andresen, Theodore K Malmstrom et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2013

    Enhanced field protocols and rater training did not improve measurement quality. Specifically, retest reliability and interviewer variability remained problematic. Measurement error partially reduced, but did not eliminate concurrent validity, suggesting there are robust associations between neighborhood characteristics and health outcomes. We conclude that the 5-item AAH NAS has sufficient reliability and validity for further use. Additional res…

  • Willing Workers

    Douglas K MillerARTICLEEthnohistory2013Cited by: 2

    Scholarship on American Indian urbanization and the Bureau of Indian Affairs' mid-twentieth-century "voluntary relocation program" often characterizes native relocatees as hapless victims. The disastrous side of urban relocation is well documented: Indian Bureau promises lured native people away from their pastoral reservation existence and tossed them into the maelstrom of urban life, where they struggled to come to terms with modernity. Such ac…

  • Childhood school segregation and later life sense of control and physical performance in the African American Health cohort

    Open AccessFredric D Wolinsky, Elena M Andresen et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    Childhood school desegregation was adversely associated with the sense of control of African Americans in later life, and this reduced sense of control appears, in part, to account for their poorer physical performance. The etiologic mechanism through which childhood school segregation at the time that this cohort experienced it improved the sense of control in later life, which subsequently led to better physical performance, has not been identi…

  • A Comparison and Cross-validation of Models to Predict Basic Activity of Daily Living Dependency in Older Adults

    Daniel O Clark, Timothy E Stump et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2012References: 18

    BACKGROUND: A simple method of identifying elders at high risk for activity of daily living (ADL) dependence could facilitate essential research and implementation of cost-effective clinical care programs. OBJECTIVE: We used a nationally representative sample of 9446 older adults free from ADL dependence in 2006 to develop simple models for predicting ADL dependence at 2008 follow-up and to compare the models to the most predictive published mode…

    Open AccessFredric D Wolinsky, Elena M Andresen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aging and Health2009References: 2

    Objective: This study examines 3-year weight change in African Americans. Method: Nine hundred and ninety-eight participants 49 to 65 years old were assessed at baseline and 3 years later. Weight was measured, and weight change was defined as clinically meaningful increases or decreases (± 5 kg). Potential risk factors were investigated using multinomial logistic regression. Results: In-home measured weights were available for 752 participants (7…

    OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to estimate educational differences in the prevalence and mortality consequence of physical vulnerability among older adults in the United States. METHODS: Data came from the 1998 and 2000 waves of the Health and Retirement Study, a nationally representative cross-sectional and prospective cohort study of community-based adults aged 65 and older. We created a physical vulnerability score from age, gender,…
