Sentience-centered practice in animal-assisted services: An animal-forward perspective
This commentary advocates for a paradigm shift in animal-assisted services (AAS) human-centric model to a sentience-centered practice. Grounded in the 2025 Global Declaration of Animal Sentience in Animal-Assisted Services and bolstered by scientific consensus on animal consciousness, we argue that ethical AAS must formally recognize animals as sentient participants, not tools. Current legal frameworks, particularly in the United States, which tr…
Humane Communities: Social change through policies promoting collective welfare
A Humane Community is defined by the presence of leaders, institutions, and policies working collaboratively across social and political systems to create and implement sustainable human, animal, and environmental welfare. Social-environmental-economic impact assessment (SEEIA) is a tool that can be used to inform policymaking at the municipal, county, state, and national levels to gain a comprehensive assessment of a proposed policy’s impacts on…
Developing a Research Agenda That Supports Global Practice
During the months of June and July 2013, two social work conferences convened that were highly focused on global practice and international social work. These conferences, the Global Health and Well-Being: The Social Work Response Conference in New York City and the 18th International Consortium for Social Development Biennial Symposium in Kampala, Uganda, are just two examples of the continually emerging scholarly efforts in our profession to su…
Personalized Targeted Mailing Increases Mammography Among Long-Term Noncompliant Medicare Beneficiaries: A Randomized Trial
OBJECTIVES: The study purpose was to increase mammography screening among older women by identifying female Medicare beneficiaries without a recent mammogram and assesses the cost-effectiveness of a personalized targeted mailing encouraging them to have a mammogram. METHODS: A randomized paired controlled trial included 1229 pairs of women matched on zip code, race, and urban or rural county. Postintervention mammography claims were measured from…
Racial and Gender Variation in Use of Diagnostic Colonic Procedures in the Michigan Medicare Population
BACKGROUND: There is accumulating evidence that screening programs can alter the natural history of colorectal cancer, a significant cause of mortality and morbidity in the US. Understanding how the technology to diagnose colonic diseases is utilized in the population provides insight into both the access and processes of care. METHOD: Using Medicare Part B billing files from the state of Michigan from 1986 to 1989 we identified all procedures us…
Variation in Hospital Admissions Among Small Areas: A Comparison of Maine and Michigan
Analysis of age-adjusted hospital admission profiles among small geographic areas has shown marked variation in hospital admissions for both surgical and medical cases in areas ranging from Maine to Manitoba. Much of the work has been led by John Wennberg and has focused on rural areas. This study examines the degree of variation in hospital admissions in small areas in the state of Michigan to determine whether those diseases that demonstrated h…
Does race affect hospital use
Based on 1980 hospital discharges in areas in the State of Michigan, with substantial Black populations, Blacks use approximately 50 per cent more hospital care than Whites, but about half this difference is associated with use in specific communities which affects both White and Black use. Black use is not associated with community size, per cent of Blacks, or available beds and doctors. After controlling for mortality and socioeconomic status, …
Classification of Hospital Patients as ???Surgical??? Implications of the Shift to ICD-9-CM
Using a nearly complete set of hospital discharge abstracts for Michigan in 1980, the authors offer evidence that the shifts in diagnostic and procedure coding (from HICDA-2 to ICD-9-CM) and associated class definitions may have affected both estimates of surgical/nonsurgical use rates and expected lengths of stay of operated versus nonoperated patients as defined using Commission on Professional and Hospital Activities length-of-stay texts
