  • The relationship between LGBT older adults' social network structure and function

    Open AccessAnyah Prasad, J A Burr et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Personal…2025Cited by: 3References: 40

    Social prejudice, family nonacceptance, and lack of marriage or adoption rights often restrict the formation of conventional social ties among LGBT older adults. As a result, they often rely on families of choice constituted by other LGBT/age peers for support. Using a series of regression analyses with a national sample of LGBT older Americans, this study investigated how characteristics of social network structure (size and composition - LGBT v…

  • Federal Incentives to Reform Long-Term Care Under the Affordable Care Act: State Adoption of the Balancing Incentive Program, 2011–2014

    Open AccessLisa Kalimon Beauregard, Edward Alan Miller et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2021References: 6

    The findings highlight the role of partisanship, administrative capacity, and program history in state BIP adoption decisions. The inclusion of BIP in the Affordable Care Act may have deterred some states from participating in the program due to partisan opposition to the legislation. To encourage the adoption of optional HCBS programs, federal policymakers should consider the role of financial incentives, especially for states with limited burea…

  • Pressure Cooker Politics: Partisanship and Symbolism in State Certification of Federal Stimulus Funds

    Open AccessEdward Alan Miller, Pamela Nadash et al.ARTICLEState Politics & Policy Quarterly2012Cited by: 8References: 24

    To access funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, state governors had to formally certify their intent to do so within 45 days of the law's enactment. All governors eventually certified, but with considerable variation in celerity. This study employs event history techniques to model the probability of certifying the ARRA. It argues that the statute's design combined with economic distress within the states rendered …

    Open AccessEdward Alan Miller, Pamela NadashARTICLEReview of Policy Research2011Cited by: 4References: 11

    The Boren Amendment is frequently cited as an example where judicial involvement markedly shaped the implementation of federal legislation. Unlike other controversial health policies, Boren was eventually rescinded by Congress. Results indicate that the Amendment was repealed because changing socioeconomic, political, and programmatic conditions combined with policy-oriented learning to facilitate a shift in policy venue away from the judiciary t…

    Open AccessEdward Alan Miller, Pamela NadashARTICLEState Politics & Policy Quarterly2006Cited by: 7References: 42

    Political scientists have long distinguished between incremental and non-incremental policymaking. In this study, I illustrate the relevance of this distinction for comparative state policy research by modeling both incremental and non-incremental change in the same policy area: Medicaid nursing facility reimbursement. I use mixed-modeling techniques to model incremental year-to-year changes in per diem rates and payments per recipient and event …
