Feasibility and Acceptability of the Project Faith Influencing Transformation Intervention in Faith-Based Settings
African Americans (AAs) are disproportionately burdened with diabetes and prediabetes. Predominately AA churches may be optimal settings for reaching AAs at greatest diabetes risk, along with related morbidities and mortalities. The current study used the RE-AIM framework to qualitatively examine the feasibility, acceptability, and satisfaction with the Project Faith Influencing Transformation (FIT) intervention, a diabetes risk reduction interve…
Stigma and Barriers in Health Care Among a Sample of Transgender and Gender-Diverse Active Duty Service Members
BACKGROUND: Transgender and/or gender-diverse (TGD) persons are vulnerable to stigma and health care inequities; however, data are particularly limited among TGD active duty military service members despite ongoing changes to service policies. TGD-related stressors may impede access to and utilization of health care due to fear of potential discrimination and distress, thereby adversely impacting military readiness. METHODS: We examined stigma an…
From a Reckoning to Racial Concordance
The grave state of health among Black Americans warrants reexamination of how to mitigate health disparities. In this commentary, which responds to the important concerns Nneka Sederstrom and Tamika Lasege raise in “Anti‐Black Racism as a Chronic Condition,” I argue that the use of racial concordance for Black patients can be a step toward reducing mortality rates and health care negligence for Black people. Racial concordance involves aligning p…
Mixed Economies Welfare
This book explains the changes that have occurred in welfare states since the early 1970s and considers some of the policy dilemmas that have arisen. Each of the chapters begins with an introduction to set the scene, followed by an examination of the theoretical and conceptual perspectives of the sector under discussion. Chapters analyse the major changes in the sectors, with issue-based conclusions highlighting the policy dilemmas identified in …
Complaining Our Way to Quality
The research on which this paper is based is part of a wider study of quality assurance and the voluntary sector. The focus of this paper is on complaints procedures, as part of quality assurance mechanisms, where voluntary agencies are the contracted service providers. The authors argue that, with the introduction of contracting and particularly with its further development, the way in which complaints mechanisms currently operate will need to b…
Regulating for Quality in the Voluntary Sector
The implementation of the NHS and Community Care Act, the greatly increased use of voluntary sector providers and the switch from grants to contracts form the background to this study. The article brings together two main themes in current social policy debate in the personal social services: regulation and quality assurance. Contracts are seen as increasingly significant forms of input, process and output regulation, although their impact depend…
Mortality Effects of Community Socioeconomic Status
We linked data from the National Longitudinal Mortality Study to census tract information on 239,187 persons to assess 11-year mortality risk among black and white women and women associated with median census tract income, adjusted for individual family income from the Current Population Survey. We stratified Cox proportional hazards models by ages 25-64 years and 65 years and older. We used a robust covariance matrix to obtain standard errors f…
The Social Economy and the Democratic State
The Privatization of Welfare
The different forms of privatization all imply some diminution of the state's role in the provision, financing or regulation of welfare. Privatisation does not simply mean the sale of public assets and greater reliance on private enterprise and competitive markets; it also means the transfer of welfare responsibilities from the state to the voluntary and informal sectors. This is partly an ideological issue, concerning the state's relationship wi…
Two Possible Welfare State Futures
The Welfare State in Transition
Focusing on welfare states in capitalist societies, The Welfare State in Transition carries forward the debate on pluralism, identifying and discussing the problems involved in transferring responsibility for welfare services from the state to the other three sectors
The New Right
Marital Violence
Police, Social Work and Medical Responses to Battered Women
Battered women frequently experience difficulties in seeking help from formal sources. They do not always know what services are available and they may be deterred by feelings of embarrassment, shame and even guilt. They may also fear reprisals. A further problem is that services are poorly co-ordinated. This paper examines the response of the three agencies most frequently approached by battered women seeking help. The police, social workers and…
