  • The rise of nonemployer businesses in the United States

    Open AccessTessa Conroy, Austin Landini et al.ARTICLESmall Business Economics2026

    During the first two decades of the 2000s, the number of nonemployer businesses grew remarkably, far outpacing the growth in the number of employer businesses. We analyze the factors that may be driving the growth of nonemployer businesses per capita at the county level. We pay particular attention to geography, namely the rural and urban contexts and potential spatial spillovers between counties. We find that nonemployer growth is highest in pla…

  • Effect of Structured Physical Activity on Prevention of Major Mobility Disability in Older Adults

    Marco Pahor, Jack M Guralnik et al.ARTICLEJAMA2014

    IMPORTANCE: In older adults reduced mobility is common and is an independent risk factor for morbidity, hospitalization, disability, and mortality. Limited evidence suggests that physical activity may help prevent mobility disability; however, there are no definitive clinical trials examining whether physical activity prevents or delays mobility disability. OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that a long-term structured physical activity program is…

  • Can Attention Control Conditions Have Detrimental Effects on Behavioral Medicine Randomized Trials

    Sherry Pagoto, Sherry L Pagoto et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2013

Very little guidance about which behavioral interventions and outcomes merit AC is available in the literature. The primary aim of the present study is to demonstrate a scenario in which use of AC in a behavioral randomized trial was unnecessary and possibly detrimental. METHODS: Exploratory analyses were perfor…

  • Persistent Depressive Symptoms and Functional Decline Among Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease

    Bernice Ruo, Kiang Liu et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2007

    OBJECTIVE: Because depressive symptoms are prevalent among patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), our goal was to study the effect of depressive symptoms over time on functional decline among patients with PAD. METHODS: We conducted a prospective cohort study of 417 patients with PAD followed annually for 2 years. A Geriatric Depression Scale Short Form (GDS-S) score >5 was considered positive for depressive symptoms. Depressive symptom…
