A budget impact analysis of 15- or 20- valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine use in all US adults aged 50–64 years old compared to those with high-risk conditions from US payer perspective
Incorporating either PCV20 or PCV15/PPSV23 vaccines in routine vaccination programs for adults aged 50-64 years compared to vaccinating only adults with chronic conditions had an incremental budget impact of $6.5 and $9 billion, respectively, over three years. Budgetary impact was sensitive to number of vaccine doses, cost of vaccine per dose, vaccine coverage proportion and pneumococcal treatment cost across the overall population and sub-groups…
Psychological Distress, Burnout, and Business Student Turnover
Perspectivism
Perspectivism: A Contribution to the Philosophy of the Social Sciences advances the philosophy of perspectivism, showing how its capacity to assess competing views of a particular concept by approaching them as different ‘sides’ of a multi-dimensional object supports a concept of ‘adequate’ rather than ‘absolute’ truth. Presenting four case studies – of the social scientific concepts of power, equality, crime, and sex and gender – Smith demonstra…
The Association Between Area Deprivation Index and Patient-Reported Outcomes in Patients with Advanced Cancer
Background: This analysis describes associations between area deprivation and patient-reported outcomes among patients with advanced cancer. Methods: This is a cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from a multisite primary palliative care intervention trial. Participants were adult patients with advanced cancer. Patient-level area deprivation scores were calculated using the Area Deprivation Index (ADI). Quality of life and symptom burden wer…
Massachusetts Health Reform Cost Less and Was More Effective for Uninsured Individuals With Venous Thromboembolism
BACKGROUND: Patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) require access to comprehensive physician and pharmacy benefits to prevent recurrence and hemorrhage. Before 2006, Massachusetts provided these benefits through a program restricted to safety net hospitals called Free Care. Providing portable health insurance through Massachusetts health reform could improve outcomes for uninsured with VTE but its cost-effectiveness is unknown. METHODS AND RE…

A practice-based vaccination program designed to eliminate disparities in elderly minority vaccination rates and including four interventions would be cost-effective
An Examination of the Validity of the Academic Motivation scale with a United States Business Student Sample
This study examined alternative seven-, five-, and three-factor structures for the Academic Motivation Scale, with data from a large convenience sample of 2,078 students matriculating in various business courses at three AACSB-accredited regional comprehensive universities. In addition, the invariance of the scale's factor structure between male and female students and between undergraduate and Master's of Business Administration students was inv…

An Assessment of the Construct Distinctiveness of Stress Arousal and Burnout
This study examined the construct and discriminant validity of stress arousal and burnout as measured on the Stress Arousal Scale and the multidimensional role-specific version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory, respectively. The analyses utilized data from 148 individuals randomly selected from a database of 563 respondents to a larger study. The sample responded to a survey sent to members of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountant…
Living with Dementia
While the medical world aggressively pursues scientific knowledge about Alzheimer's disease, sufferers and caregivers live with this ailment, not as patients, but as people going about their lives, needing and providing care. This article reports explanations of Alzheimer's from the perspectives of African American family caregivers and sufferers. Data were collected from thirty-six families using participant observation and focus group interview…
Back to Normal
Our earlier studies of Hurricane Andrew focused on the destruction of everyday life during the crisis itself and the reconstruction of a taken-for-granted world during the recovery period; this paper examines the significance of gender in these processes. The abrupt loss of taken-for-granted reality occasioned by the storm involved only a slight and momentary disruption of gender roles. The resilience of these roles can be understood only if gend…
The Reconstruction of Everyday Life
This is an ethnographic account based on interviews collected from people who rebuilt their lives after the devastation caused by Hurricane Andrew in August 1992 in Dade County, Florida. Three themes describe the recovery period: a time out from everyday life, life in "the zone," and living between two worlds. Time out from everyday life is the initial postdisaster phase and describes the problems encountered in both the physical and the relation…

The authors analyze the characteristics of older black migrants in the United States using data from the 1980 census public use microdata sample. Particular emphasis is placed on return migration to place of birth in the South. (ANNOTATION)
Benzodiazepine anti-anxiety agents
BACKGROUND: Benzodiazepine anti-anxiety agents are the most widely prescribed psychotherapeutic drugs in the United States today. Recent evidence, however, suggests that their use may be decreasing. METHODS: We examine the population prevalence and correlates of use of benzodiazepine anxiolytics at the Duke site of the NIMH-sponsored Epidemiologic Catchment Area project. RESULTS: Bivariate analysis of use patterns for the drugs revealed demograph…

The Malthusian Controversy
Some observations on modern malthusianism
It is frequently stated that the doctrines of Malthus may be applied to certain areas of the world to-day, and there has been anxiety lest the rate of increase of the population of the world will lead to an exhaustion of food supplies. The author examines the Malthusian doctrine in its contemporary setting, and gives his reasons for believing that the imminence of this danger is much exaggerated
