Residential Proximity, Duration, and Health-Related Quality of Life
The impact of living near environmental contamination on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is not well understood. This study examined the impacts of the residential proximity (RP) and time spent near a former Department of Energy uranium processing facility (located in Fernald, Ohio) on the surrounding community's HRQoL outcomes. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using the data collected from participants using the Short Form-36 …
Living Near Contamination
The impact of residential proximity (RP) to EPA-designated Superfund sites on personal well-being remains understudied. This study evaluated the well-being of residents living near a former uranium processing facility in Fernald, Ohio, now a Superfund site, which emitted significant amounts of radioactive hazardous waste. Baseline data were collected from 7,957 participants who voluntarily enrolled in the Fernald Community Cohort. Participants co…
Drug Use Patterns and Trends in Rural Communities
Context and Purpose: This study examines the prevalence of tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drug use among adolescents and adults in 3 types of counties: “rural” (nonmetropolitan counties with urban population less than 20,000), “urbanized nonmetropolitan” (nonmetropolitan counties with urban population 20,000 or higher), and “metropolitan” (counties in metropolitan areas). Methods : Data from the 2002‐2004 National Surveys on Drug Use and Health ar…
Rural-Urban Differences in Employment-Related Health Insurance

PURPOSE: We compared nonelderly adult residents in 3 types of nonmetropolitan areas with metropolitan workers to evaluate which characteristics contribute to lack of employment-related insurance. RESEARCH DESIGN AND ANALYSIS: Data were obtained from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, pooled across 3 panels (1996--1998) to enhance the rural sam…
