State-Level Estimates of Nonfatal Firearm Injury Hospitalizations, 2000–2021
Objectives. To create a comprehensive, publicly available data set of state-level nonfatal firearm injury inpatient hospitalizations (NFIIHs) in the United States from 2000 to 2021. Methods. We used Bayesian modeling to impute missing NFIIH rates for 334 state–year observations and correct for incomplete injury mechanism coding in 766 observations. Results. NFIIH rates increased nationally, with the largest rise between 2019 and 2020, up by one t…
Risk Factors for Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment in the U.S. Military
This report describes analyses designed to identify service member and environmental characteristics that are associated with service members' risk of sexual assault or sexual harassment. These analyses draw on data from one of the largest surveys ever conducted on sexual assault and harassment experiences, the 2014 RAND Military Workplace Study.
Impact on Nonfirearm Deaths of Firearm Laws Affecting Firearm Deaths
Background. There is debate whether policies that reduce firearm suicides or homicides are offset by increases in non–firearm-related deaths. Objectives. To assess the extent to which changes in firearm homicides and suicides following implementation of various gun laws affect nonfirearm homicides and suicides. Search Methods. We performed a literature search on 13 databases for studies published between 1995 and October 31, 2018 (PROSPERO CRD420…

Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Cambodian Refugees
The Unusually Poor Physical Health Status of Cambodian Refugees Two Decades After Resettlement
Mental Health Service Utilization After Physical Trauma
BACKGROUND: Despite the availability of effective treatments for posttraumatic stress reactions after serious physical injuries, many sufferers do not use mental health services. Attempts to understand the factors that facilitate mental health service use have often focused on patient-related factors without assessing provider behavior. OBJECTIVES: To examine the relative influence of patient-related factors and physician referral on mental healt…
The Influence of Race in Police-Civilian Interactions
Although the study of police–civilian relations has recently entered the intergroup communication arena, there are no studies of actual interactions between these social categories. In part to rectify that stark omission and guided by communication accommodation theory, 313 randomly sampled video recordings from police cars on traffic stops in Cincinnati, Ohio were content analyzed. The study revealed 3 key differences as a function of the office…
Prevalence and Correlates of Lifetime Disordered Gambling in Cambodian Refugees Residing in Long Beach, CA
Rates and Correlates of Seeking Mental Health Services Among Cambodian Refugees
Objectives. We assessed the rates and correlates of seeking mental health services among a probability sample of Cambodian refugees who needed such services. Methods. Interviewers conducted face-to-face interviews with a representative sample drawn from the largest US community of Cambodian refugees. The analytic sample included 339 persons who met past 12-month criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder, major depression disorder, or alcohol use…
A novel view of between-categories contrast and within-category assimilation
This research manipulated the portion of a category distribution that is misclassified by the optimal classifier and investigated the impact on assessments of category attributes. Three separate studies manipulated the direction of overlap, the extent of overlap, and the relative base rate of the comparison category. All 3 studies produced large between-categories contrast and within-category assimilation. As expected, these effects were enhanced…
Repeated testing
A new technique for evaluating the roles of elaborative and organizational processing in the representation of social information is described. Although these concepts have found increasing application in theories of social knowledge, most investigations of elaboration and organization have relied on measures that can lead to interpretive ambiguities. Two studies show how analysis of the item-gain and item-loss components of multitrial free recal…
