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…
African American Males Have More Distress During Cancer Treatment Than White Males
African American (AA) males have a higher incidence and mortality rate for some cancers than other races and sexes, which could be associated with distress during treatment, medical mistrust, and health disparities. We hypothesize distress in AA males during treatment is higher than in other races and sexes. We assessed effect modification of moderate to severe (≥ 4) distress scores during cancer treatment by race and sex, age, and socioeconomic …
Organizational cultures that support community
Recent evidence has shown that when employees experience perceptions of community at work (i.e., a sense of community and a sense of community responsibility), psychological well‐being and behavioral engagement improve (e.g., greater job engagement, organizational citizenship, and leadership). Recent evidence also shows that experiences of community, as a motivational state, are better able to predict employee outcomes compared to a series of fac…
Building community at work
Recent scholarship has demonstrated that experiences in the community (i.e., a sense of community [SOC] and a SOC responsibility) can enhance employee psychological and behavioral outcomes. Recent evidence also shows that the experiences of the community are better able to predict employee outcomes compared to long‐regarded management and public management constructs. However, very little empirical evidence exists on antecedent conditions that he…
‘La Décadente a fait son temps’
In 1886, Georges de Peyrebrune (1841–1917) published the novella Une décadente, a scarcely veiled depiction – and biting critique – of Rachilde (1860–1953) and her unconventional lifestyle. In her depiction of Hélione, a fictionalized version of Rachilde, she borrows from contemporary medical discourses on hysteria and suggests that her heroine's true fulfillment can only be realized through motherhood. Peyrebrune positions these male-authored di…

Religiosity and Behavioral Health Outcomes of Adolescents Living in Disaster-Vulnerable Areas
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
CONTEXT: Rural residents are disproportionately represented among the uninsured in the United States. 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…
Racial and Ethnic Differences in the Mental Health Problems and Use of Mental Health Care
OBJECTIVES: We compared rates of mental health problems and use of mental health care across multiple racial and ethnic groups using secondary data from a large, nationally representative survey. METHODS: We pooled cross-sectional data from the 2001-2003 National Surveys on Drug Use and Health. Our sample included 134,875 adults classified as white, African American, American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian, Mexican, Central and South American, Puer…

Using the nine-category Urban Influence Codes, this study examines the relationship between place of residence and having access and utilization of ambulatory health services. Research Design. Data come from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, conducted in 1996. Linear and logistic regression analyses assess th…
