Worker ownership in North America
During the last quarter of the 20th century, worker ownership emerged as a popular option for North American workers trying to save their mills or factories from closing. Most of these efforts eventually failed, sometimes at great financial cost to workers who gambled away their savings or pensions. Yet a few worker buyouts succeeded over the long term. This article examines two of these success stories, one on either side of the Canada-United St…

Implementing a Graduate Certificate Program in Cardiovascular Epidemiology
The Jackson Heart Study (JHS) is committed to providing opportunities for expanding the understanding of the epidemiology, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The JHS Graduate Training and Education Center (GTEC) has initiated the Daniel Hale Williams Scholar (DHWS) program where students are afforded the opportunity to interact with epidemiologists and other biomedical scientists to learn to identify, predict, and pr…
Building Collaborative Health Promotion Partnerships
Academic institutions must reach out to local community groups and together address local health issues that affect the community. When a community understands the need for change to respond to negative health conditions, formalizing this type of collaboration is a step in the right direction
Association of the Joint Effect of Menopause and Hormone Replacement Therapy and Cancer in African American Women
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the US and in Mississippi. Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer among women, and the underlying pathophysiology remains unknown, especially among African American (AA) women. The study purpose was to examine the joint effect of menopause status (MS) and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on the association with cancers, particularly BC using data from the Jackson Heart Study. The analytic samp…
Relationship between Medication Use and Cardiovascular Disease Health Outcomes in the Jackson Heart Study
Even though some medications have the potential to slow the progress of atherosclerosis and development of CVD, there are many at-risk individuals who continue to resist the benefits that are available by not following the advice of medical professionals. Non-adherence to prescribed drug regimens is a pervasive medical problem that negatively affects treatment outcomes. Information from standardized interviews of 5301 African Americans participat…
An Examination of Parental Attachments, Parental Detachments and Self-Esteem across Hetero-, Bi-, and Homosexual Individuals
This study compares heterosexual, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals’ level of detachment and attachment with parental figures in self-esteem reporting. An electronic survey was distributed via convenience and snowballing techniques to approximately 600 respondents, with the sample being grouped as heterosexuals, bisexuals and homosexuals. Results indicate that the LGBT population experiences a statistically higher level of…
The City and Public History
Focusing on a course titled “History, Communities and Memory,” this article examines the course content, undergraduate and graduate student learning outcomes, and the pedagogical approaches employed throughout the semester. Using Akron’s engaging history and the portrayal of the city in public sites as a case study, the class serves as both an introduction to public history and to the interplay between history and memory. Arthur Chickering and Ze…
Development of the Jackson Heart Study Coordinating Center
The public health burden caused by cardiovascular disease (CVD) continues to adversely affect individuals in terms of cost, life expectancy, medical, pharmaceutical and hospital care. This burden has been excessive in the case of African Americans. The objective of this paper is to chronicle the procedures and processes that were implemented in the development of the Jackson Heart Study Coordinating Center. The Jackson Heart Study (JHS) is a popu…
Psychometric Evaluation of a Coping Strategies Inventory Short-Form (CSI-SF) in the Jackson Heart Study Cohort
This study sought to establish the psychometric properties of a Coping Strategies Inventory Short Form (CSISF) by examining coping skills in the Jackson Heart Study cohort. We used exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, Pearson's correlation, and Cronbach Alpha to examine reliability and validity in the CSI-SF that solicited responses from 5302 African American men and women between the ages of 35 and 84. One item was dropped from the 16-i…

Our Chronic and Desperate Situation”
On 3 May 1954, Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company announced that it would close its anthracite mining operations in Pennsylvania's Panther Valley. Company officials had hoped to keep some mines open but net losses in 1953 amounted to $1.4 million and the trend continued into early 1954. The company stated they would reopen the mines only if miners would work harder and produce more. All area locals of the United Mine Workers of America (UMW) vote…
Assessment of relationship thinking in dating relationships
In a series of five studies a method of assessing relationship thinking and its role in close relationship dynamics was developed. These studies were carried out with college students who responded to questionnaires. Studies 1 and 2 focused on identifying items representing the content and frequency of relationship thinking about participants' present dating relationships. Studies 3 and 4 examined personal characteristics, general relationship sc…
The effect of immediate access to a computerized medical record on physician test ordering
We performed a randomized clinical trial of the effect of immediately printed summaries of a computerized medical record on physician test ordering rates in an Emergency Room setting. The computerized medical record contained medication history, the results of most diagnostic studies, an outpatient problem list, and inpatient and emergency room diagnoses. Physicians were presented with a printed summary of the patient's computerized record for st…
