Exploring healthcare facilities’ readiness for standard precautions in infection prevention and control
Background: Despite the significant morbidity and mortality caused by healthcare-associated infections worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), there is a lack of understanding of the readiness to apply standard precautions for infection prevention and control (IPC) in healthcare facilities across different LMICs. Methods: We analysed nationally representative health system data from the Service Provision Assessment surv…
The effect of e‐cigarette taxes on pre‐pregnancy and prenatal smoking
E-cigarette taxes are an active area of legislation and have important regulatory implications by proxying e-cigarette accessibility. We examine the effect of e-cigarette taxes on prepregnancy and prenatal smoking using the near-universe of births to mothers conceiving between 2013 and 2019 in the United States. Using fixed effect regressions, we show that e-cigarette taxes increase prepregnancy and prenatal smoking. We also find evidence that e-…

Minimum Wages and Alcohol-Related Traffic Fatalities among Teens
Using cross-state variation in minimum wages, we observe a positive relationship between the minimum wage and the number of alcohol-related accidents involving teen drivers. A similar effect is not observed when examining accidents among adults. The results are consistent with a positive income elasticity for alcoholic beverages and driving activities among young people, in particular for consumption out of discretionary income accorded by higher…
Differential Effectiveness of Depression Disease Management for Rural and Urban Primary Care Patients
Context: Federally qualified health centers across the country are adopting depression disease management programs following federally mandated training; however, little is known about the relative effectiveness of depression disease management in rural versus urban patient populations. Purpose: To explore whether a depression disease management program has a comparable impact on clinical outcomes over 2 years in patients treated in rural and urb…
Perceived Racism as a Predictor of Paranoia Among African Americans
Recent theoretical models suggest that perceived racism acts as a stressor for African Americans and may be associated with a variety of negative psychological consequences, notably paranoia. Paranoia among African Americans is believed to reflect the lower end of the paranoia continuum based on experiences with racism. Thus, it may be beneficial to measure paranoia on a continuum, but few studies have adopted this strategy. This study examined t…
The effects of living wage laws
The Economic Effects of Living Wage Laws
Nearly 100 cities and local governments in the United States passed living wage laws since the mid-1990s. The central goal of living wages is to reduce poverty, yet they may fail to do so because of disemployment effects. We summarize and critique the existing research on the effects of living wages on wages, employment, and family income, emphasizing common findings, points of disagreement, and important questions for future research. The eviden…
