Changing Sources of Suburban Support for Local Growth Controls
Surveys conducted over time in the Orange County, CA, suburban region are used to test hypotheses about the predictors of support for local growth controls. Between 1982 and 1993, public support for local growth controls first increased and then declined. Negative community perceptions are consistently related to support for local growth controls, while higher municipal growth rates are never significant. Higher socio-economic status is related t…
More Trouble in Paradise: Urbanization and the Decline in Suburban Quality-of-Life Ratings
Many urban scholars have assumed that urbanization has had adverse effects on the quality of life of suburban residents, but there are few empirical tests of their hypotheses. The 1982 and 1991 Orange County, California, Annual Surveys indicate that perceived quality-of-life ratings have declined over the decade that this suburban region experienced urbanization. The hypothesis that city-level measures of urbanization, such as population size, de…
Depression and unemployment: Panel findings from the Epidemiologic Catchment Area study
Studies that have found an association between unemployment and psychological depression often fail to establish the direction of causal influence. Analyses of Epidemiologic Catchment Area panel data revealed that of employed respondents not diagnosed with major depression at first interview, those who became unemployed had over twice the risk of increased depressive symptoms and of becoming clinically depressed as those who continued employed. A…
Job Loss and Alcohol Abuse: A Test Using Data from the Epidemiologic Catchment Area Project
The hypothesis that job loss affects the incidence of clinically significant alcohol abuse is tested using panel data from the Epidemiologic Catchment Area project. Results suggest that the incidence of clinically significant alcohol abuse is greater among those who have been laid off than among those who have not. However, employed persons in communities in which total employment is unexpectedly low are at reduced risk of becoming alcohol abuser…
