Racial Disparities in the Mortgage Application Process
This study investigates racial disparities in the U.S. mortgage application process by examining outcomes beyond traditional credit denial. Using over 37 million mortgage applications submitted between 2018 and 2024, we analyze four sequential termination points where borrowers may exit the mortgage process: incomplete applications, applicant withdrawals, lender denials, and borrower rejection of approved loans. Leveraging Home Mortgage Disclosur…
Poverty Reduction is Not the Whole Story
Who Is a Social Worker
Defining social workers for the purposes of research is not as straightforward as it sounds. To date, researchers who have examined social workers as a group have used a variety of sampling methods. Multiple methods speak to the variety of options for defining social workers. Understanding membership within the profession is a precondition to understanding research about the behavior of those within the profession. This research note explores the…

Recontextualizing Indigenous Knowledge on the Prussian–Lithuanian Frontier, ca. 1380–1410
This article analyzes a compilation of navigational texts produced by the Teutonic crusading order around 1400, arguing that the recontextualization of geographic knowledge—from local guides to written records—illuminates a spectrum of encounters and exchanges, both violent and collaborative, between indigenous people and Western colonizers in northeastern Europe

Political Primacy and MSW Students' Interest in Running for Office
Although social workers are understood to participate in politics more than the general public, little is known about their interest in running for office. To understand how individuals in 'helping' professions like social work may think about running for office, this study introduces the concept of political primacy. Political primacy refers to the value individuals assign to elected office's ability to make a difference, relative to alternative…

It focuses on &s;borderlands&s; issues of economic imbalance, constraint and opportunity, which also arises from a long process of historical interaction with different regimes at &s;the centre&s;.

Fortifying or Fragmenting the State? The Political Economy of the Opium/Heroin Trade in Shan State, Myanmar, 1988–2013
Over the past twenty-five years, the government of Myanmar (Burma) has consolidated control over large parts of Shan State, neutralizing much of the threat posed by armed groups and strengthening its hold over revenue extraction. During this period Myanmar has retained its position as the world's second largest producer of illicit opium, much of which is converted into heroin within the country's borders. This article explores the relationship be…

Drugs, insurgency and state-building in Burma
The mainstream discourse on the political economy of drugs has emphasised the negative correlation between drug production and state capacity, with the presence of a thriving drugs trade seen as both a sign and a cause of weak states. Through an analysis of the drugs trade in Burma this study argues that such an approach is deeply flawed. Focusing on the period since the 1988 protests it argues that the illicit nature of the drugs trade has provi…
Health Effects of Blood Lead Levels Lower Than 10 Mg/Dl in Children
The thoughtful commentary provided by Bernard1 is a welcome addition to deliberations about whether the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) should respond to recent reports of adverse effects of blood lead levels (BLLs) lower than 10 μg/dL in children by lowering the BLL at which individual intervention is recommended.2,3 The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention is reviewing the scientific evidence of the h…
Suicides among older United States residents
Suicide rates for elderly US residents decreased between 1950 and 1980, but have increased recently. We analyzed suicide mortality trends using national mortality data for the period 1980 through 1986. Suicide rates during this period increased for each 5-year age group over age 65. Elderly White males have the highest suicide rates and experienced a rate increase of 23%. The rate for Black males rose by 42%. Divorced males have the highest age-a…
