Mortality Outcomes for Survivors of Cancer With Food Insecurity in the US
The results of this cohort study suggest that food insecurity is a substantial factor associated with increased mortality among survivors of cancer. Addressing food insecurity through routine screenings and connecting patients with food assistance programs may improve survival outcomes, and further research should examine the longitudinal effects of integrating routine food insecurity screenings within cancer care settings and expanding food assi…

Sociodemographic correlates of late HIV diagnosis among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Ghana
Timely HIV diagnosis and medical engagement are crucial for effective viral load suppression and treatment as prevention. However, significant delays persist, particularly in Africa, including Ghana. This study focused on Ghanaian men whose route of exposure to HIV was through same-gender sexual contact (MSM), a group disproportionately impacted by HIV. Using structured surveys, we investigated the sociodemographic factors associated with late HI…
Trusted residents and housing assistance to decrease violence exposure in New Haven (TRUE Haven): A strengths-based and community-driven stepped-wedge intervention to reduce gun violence

Meta-analysis in Sociological Research: Power and Heterogeneity
Meta-analysis is a statistical method that combines quantitative findings from previous studies. It has been increasingly used to obtain more credible results in a wide range of scientific fields. Combining the results of relevant studies allows researchers to leverage study similarities while modeling potential sources of between-study heterogeneity. This article provides a review of the core methodologies of meta-analysis that we consider most …

Getting ready ahead: Socioeconomic status and parenting strategies among Chinese adolescents with emigration intentions
Selective migration is traditionally acknowledged as an important mechanism explaining the educational and socioeconomic attainment of immigrants. However, most existing studies employing data in destination countries provide an inaccurate image of the selected features of immigrants. Values and norms often attributed to immigrants, such as high educational expectations, may be shaped by experiences during pre-emigration, rather than originate fr…
The life-course association of birth-weight genes with self-rated health
This study examines the impact of genes associated with normal-range birth weight (2500-4500 grams) on self-rated health in mid-to-late life course. Fifty-eight previously identified genetic variants that explain the variation in the normal-range birth weight were used to construct a genetic measure of birth weight for the non-Hispanic white sample from the Health and Retirement Study. Our results show that the genetic tendency toward higher birt…
Ethnic Churches as an Important Space of Co-ethnic Resources for Immigrant Entrepreneurs
This paper provides new evidence that religious organizations with high co-ethnicity can be a space utilized by immigrant entrepreneurs for ethnic resources, especially for those with limited familial resources. Although a number of qualitative studies have previously identified the resource attainment through ethnic churches among immigrant entrepreneurs, such evidence is limited in quantitative analysis and the role of coethnicity is unclear. W…
