The Apocalyptic Aesthetics of the List
Lists can suggest both a complete written account and the open-ended accumulation of terms. In this, their frequent appearance in apocalyptic texts formally mirrors apocalypticism's combination of divinely created order and the chaotic description of catastrophic events. Medieval and early modern poetic prophecies often list local manifestations of disorder and exclude the cosmic frame of divine order, making poems like Wynnere and Wastoure, whic…
Relationship Between Prison Length of Stay and Recidivism
Research Summary In this study, we use both a regression discontinuity design and an instrumental variable identification strategy to examine the relationship between prison length of stay and recidivism among a large sample of federal offenders. We capitalize on the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines structure to apply these strong inference, quasi‐experimental approaches. We find that average length of stay can be reduced by 7.5 months with a small imp…

Evaluation of AHRQ’s On-Time Pressure Ulcer Prevention Program
BACKGROUND: Pressure ulcers present serious health and economic consequences for nursing home residents. The Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality, in partnership with the New York State Department of Health, implemented the pressure ulcer module of On-Time Quality Improvement for Long Term Care (On-Time), a clinical decision support intervention to reduce pressure ulcer incidence rates. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of the On-Time …

Potentially Avoidable Hospitalizations for Elderly Long-stay Residents in Nursing Homes
BACKGROUND: Hospitalizations of long-stay nursing home (NH) residents are common. The high estimates of potentially avoidable hospitalizations in NHs suggest that efforts to reduce avoidable hospitalizations may be effective in lowering health care expenditures as well as improving the quality of care for NH residents. OBJECTIVE: To determine the relationship between clinical risk factors, facility characteristics and State policy variables, and …
Hammett Et Al. Respond
Hirshon and Wilson raise important questions about the statistical methodology underlying part of our approach to estimating the burden of infectious disease among inmates and releasees. Our approach involved estimating the number of unique individuals who entered jails during a given year. Given the rapid turnover of jail populations, we assumed that the number of entrants would be roughly equivalent to the number of releasees. Although the tota…
The Burden of Infectious Disease Among Inmates of and Releasees From US Correctional Facilities, 1997
Objectives. This study developed national estimates of the burden of selected infectious diseases among correctional inmates and releasees during 1997. Methods. Data from surveys, surveillance, and other reports were synthesized to develop these estimates. Results. During 1997, 20% to 26% of all people living with HIV in the United States, 29% to 43% of all those infected with the hepatitis C virus, and 40% of all those who had tuberculosis disea…

Organization, power, and community health
Behavioral services are community organizations mobilized to mediate community concern and discordant or creative behavior. They are organizations of institutionalized community power. They include 1) professional social systems, 2) operational patterns, and 3) programs, with legal responsibility for shaping human behavior. There are four systems, with operational patterns and programs for shaping behavior: 1) educational, 2) medical, 3) social-w…
