Beyond the Biocultural Approach
A primary goal of bioarchaeology is to reconstruct the biocultural context of past societies, which is frequently achieved by incorporating interdisciplinary theoretical frameworks to help contextualize the skeletal record. This article reviews explicit uses of theory in 1,593 articles published in 12 English-language peer-reviewed journals between 2007 and 2018 to explore how bioarchaeologists have recently engaged with various theoretical frame…

Advance Care Planning by Unmarried Women of Different Sexual Orientations
We examined social support as a facilitator of advance care planning in unmarried women of different sexual orientations. Survey participants consisted of 215 women, 90 who reported a preference for partnering with women (WPW) and 125 for partnering with men (WPM). Our findings indicate that the association between social support and advance care planning was mixed. Specifically, social support had no significant impact on executing a will for ei…

Impacts of abstinence education on teen sexual activity, risk of pregnancy, and risk of sexually transmitted diseases
This paper examines the impacts of four abstinence-only education programs on adolescent sexual activity and risks of pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Based on an experimental design, the impact analysis uses survey data collected in 2005 and early 2006 from more than 2,000 teens who had been randomly assigned to either a program group that was eligible to participate in one of the four programs or a control group that was not.…
Evaluating transdisciplinary science
The past two decades have seen a growing interest and investment in transdisciplinary research teams and centers. The Transdisciplinary Tobacco Use Research Centers (TTURCs) exemplify large-scale scientific collaborations undertaken for the explicit purpose of promoting novel conceptual and methodological integrations bridging two or more fields. Until recently, few efforts have been made to evaluate the collaborative processes, and the scientifi…
Race and Sex Influences in the Schooling Processes of Rural and Small Town Youth
This paper assesses how race and sex act to determine the educational performance and career aspirations of over 3,000 students enrolled in 23 public schools in Mississippi. The data, collected in 1972, pertain to the schooling experiences of small town and rural students. The results strongly support the conclusions of Wisconsin researchers and others concerning the dynamics of early achievement processes for whites. Moreover, we find that even …
