A Novel Application of Non-Negative Matrix Factorization to the Prediction of the Health Status of Undocumented Immigrants
Introduction: Undocumented immigrants (UIs) in the United States are less likely to be able to afford health insurance. As a result, UIs often lack family doctors and are rarely involved in annual screening programs, which makes estimating their health status remarkably challenging. This is especially true if the laboratory results from limited screening programs fail to provide sufficient clinical information. Methods: To address this issue, we …
In Search of Safety: Confronting Inequality in Women's Imprisonment
In Search of Safety: Confronting Inequality in Women's Imprisonment
Based on extensive mixed-methods data, this book examines gendered violence and conflict in women’s prisons. Conflict and violence in the prison are located in intersectional inequalities and cumulative disadvantage, reflecting their pathways to prison. Women in prison share common characteristics, many mediated by structural, historical, and cumulative disadvantage. T pathways approach is expanded to include women’s experience within these struc…
Survey of Organizational Research Climates in Three Research Intensive, Doctoral Granting Universities
The Survey of Organizational Research Climate (SOuRCe) is a new instrument that assesses dimensions of research integrity climate, including ethical leadership, socialization and communication processes, and policies, procedures, structures, and processes to address risks to research integrity. We present a descriptive analysis to characterize differences on the SOuRCe scales across departments, fields of study, and status categories (faculty, po…

Psychosocial Stress: Trends in Theory and Research
In the past ten years, research on stress has increased dramatically. Psychosocial Stress: Perspectives on Structure, Theory, Life-Course, and Methods brings researchers, clinicians, and academics up-to-date on the many facets of this research. Key Features * The components of stress: factors, situations, and personality variables that elicit and mediate stress * Theoretical perspectives in the study of stress * Life-course perspectives on stress…
Objective job conditions, social support and perceived stress among blue collar workers
The hypothesis that perceived supportive relations mediate the association between extra‐individual (objective) job conditions and perceptions of occupational stress is tested in a population of blue collar workers. Responses to a mailed questionnaire (N = 1830) include measures of social support from four sources (supervisor, coworkers, spouse, friends/relatives) and measures of perceived stress (five job pressures and four need deprivations). I…
Physiogenic Bias as Invalidity in Psychiatric Symptom Scales
Although it has been suggested that physical illness may compromise the results of epidemiological and social surveys that are based on psychiatric symptom checklists, the problem has rarely been investigated. This study presents a methodfor identifying physiogenic bias in psychiatric symptomatology scales and analyzes the consequences of such bias. Using an adaptation of recently developed clinical psychiatric screening procedures, occurrences o…
