  • Less drinking, less harm

    Open AccessJude Ball, Jane Zhang et al.ARTICLEKōtuitui New Zealand Journal of…2023References: 1

    Adolescent alcohol use has declined in many high‐income countries, yet few studies have measured the impact on alcohol harm. We investigated whether declines in alcohol use among secondary school students in Aotearoa New Zealand were accompanied by declines in self‐reported alcohol harm. We used data from the Youth2000 survey series (2007, N = 9098; 2012, N = 8487; 2019, N = 7311). We found alcohol use declined substantially on all indicators (li…

  • Present and Future Trends of Sustainable Eldercare Services in China

    Open AccessM Marinelli, Jane Zhang et al.ARTICLEJournal of Population Ageing2022References: 12

    Ageing population is one of the most fundamental socio-economic transformations of the twenty-first century, with significant policy implications. China, the world’s most populous nation, is no exception. The necessity for cost-effective, culture-appropriate and sustainable eldercare services is one of the Government’s priorities, in both present and future. This research uses a focus-group interviews methodology to explore sustainable models of …

  • Preceding group A streptococcus skin and throat infections are individually associated with acute rheumatic fever

    Open AccessJane Oliver, Julie Bennett et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    INTRODUCTION: Acute rheumatic fever (ARF) is usually considered a consequence of group A streptococcus (GAS) pharyngitis, with GAS skin infections not considered a major trigger. The aim was to quantify the risk of ARF following a GAS-positive skin or throat swab. METHODS: This retrospective analysis used pre-existing administrative data. Throat and skin swab data (1 866 981 swabs) from the Auckland region, New Zealand and antibiotic dispensing d…

  • Lakota winter counts, pictographic records, and record making and remaking histories

    Open AccessJane ZhangARTICLEArchives and Manuscripts2017Cited by: 2

    Winter counts are pictographic calendars created and used by certain Native American communities as mnemonic devices for remembering the sequence of events that mark each year, and for retelling community stories. Drawing on resources from the Smithsonian Institution’s National Anthropological Archives’ winter count collections and related literature, this study reviews and discusses the characteristics of pictographic records, traces their makin…

  • Collaborating with a social housing provider supports a large cohort study of the health effects of housing conditions

    Open AccessMichael G Baker, Jane Zhang et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    This project has shown that an administrative housing database can be used to form a large cohort population and successfully link cohort members to their health records in a way that meets confidentiality and ethical requirements. This study also confirms that social housing tenants are a highly deprived population with relatively low incomes and high levels of exposure to household crowding and environmental tobacco smoke

  • Recordkeeping in Book Form

    Jane ZhangARTICLEInformation & Culture2014

    As a legacy system, book-form recordkeeping plays an important role in documenting and preserving American colonial history. Through a close examination of four sample colonial collections in the Boston area, this study looks into the capacity of book form as a recording, keeping, organizing, and retrieving system in American recordkeeping history. The study highlights the importance of understanding the characteristics of recordkeeping forms and…

  • The causality analysis of climate change and large-scale human crisis

    Open AccessD Zhang, David D Zhang et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2011

    Recent studies have shown strong temporal correlations between past climate changes and societal crises. However, the specific causal mechanisms underlying this relation have not been addressed. We explored quantitative responses of 14 fine-grained agro-ecological, socioeconomic, and demographic variables to climate fluctuations from A.D. 1500–1800 in Europe. Results show that cooling from A.D. 1560–1660 caused successive agro-ecological, socioec…

  • Global climate change, war, and population decline in recent human history

    Open AccessD Zhang, David D Zhang et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2007

    Although scientists have warned of possible social perils resulting from climate change, the impacts of long-term climate change on social unrest and population collapse have not been quantitatively investigated. In this study, high-resolution paleo-climatic data have been used to explore at a macroscale the effects of climate change on the outbreak of war and population decline in the preindustrial era. We show that long-term fluctuations of war…
