Staphylococcus aureus Colonization and Infection Among Drug Users
Objectives. We combined social-network analysis and molecular epidemiology to investigate Staphylococcus aureus among drug users. Methods. From 2003 through 2005, we recruited adult drug users in Brooklyn, New York. Of 501 individuals recruited, 485 participated. Participants were screened for HIV infection and S. aureus carriage, and they answered a questionnaire assessing risk factors for S. aureus. Participants were asked to nominate up to 10 …
The social epidemiology of HIV transmission among African American women who use drugs and their social network members
Despite 15 years of prevention efforts, recent increases in HIV infection have been documented for Black women in the US. Little is known about the role played by HIV status disclosure in high HIV prevalence communities. 180 Black women who used drugs in the past 30 days were recruited between May 2002 and May 2004 in New York City. Women were administered a structured network questionnaire and HIV serotested. Risk practices, HIV status disclosur…
Sexual Diversity Among Black Men Who Have Sex with Men in an Inner-City Community
Street Smarts and Urban Myths
Storytelling has a strong tradition in inner-city American communities. In this article, we examine patterns of storytelling among a sample of drug-using women from New York City who engage in street-based sex work. We consider two particular formats of storytelling for analysis: "street smarts" and "urban myths." Street smarts are stories of survival, and urban myths are compilations of street legends spread by word of mouth. The narratives are …
The Dynamics of Substance Use and Sex Networks in HIV Transmission
Sex partner support, drug use and sex risk among HIV-negative non-injecting heroin users
HIV prevention efforts among drug users have incorporated social support to reinforce risk reduction. We examine the extent to which sex partner characteristics, including partner support, influence HIV sex risk practices among a little studied population of non-injecting heroin users, 257 of whom were recruited in New York City between 1996 and 2001. The sample was racially/ethnically diverse (26% African American, 43% Latino, 31% white or other…
An economy of risk
Networks, resources and risk among women who use drugs
Social network characteristics as mediators in the relationship between sexual abuse and HIV risk
From Ancient to Modern Organization
This article seeks to illustrate the importance of the medieval Church in the emergence of modern organizational forms. In outlining the organizational development of the Church, similarities to "modern " organization are noted using Weber's ideal-typical presentation of bureaucracy. It is argued that the medieval Church preserved some Roman administrative techniques, created new forms over the course of its development, and served as a model for…
Environmental psychology
The history of the emergence of the field of environmental psychology is reviewed and examined. The nature of the new perspectives offered by the field are contrasted with more traditional psychological orientations. Basic assumptions of the environmental psychologist are discussed along with identification of particular topics in which one might work in the Australian context. Discussion of some of the probable directions for development of the …
The Macro-Economic Effects of Federal Wage and Price Controls
Assuming the Government's anti-inflation program' is fully implemented, what success can it be expected to have in reducing the rate of price and wage inflation over the next two years? What impact will the program have on the distribution of income? In order to answer these questions, simulation studies were carried out using the AERIC short-term forecasting model developed by The Conference Board of Canada.2 A solution of the model was prepared…
