Macroeconomics and Drug Use
Despite more than a century of drug prohibition, problems of addiction and drug abuse continue to be major global public health and criminal justice concerns (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, 2015). It has long been obvious that many of these problems are entwined with other economic and social issues. The editors of The Economist, in reporting evidence of a decline in drug use in the UK, speculated on the impact of the concurrent econom…
Coronary heart disease prevalence and occupational structure in U.S. metropolitan areas
Natural Environments, Obesity, and Physical Activity in Nonmetropolitan Areas of the United States
Purpose: To assess the associations of the natural environment with obesity and physical activity in nonmetropolitan areas of the United States among representative samples by using 2 indices of outdoor activity potential (OAP) at the county level. Methods: We used the data from 457,820 and 473,296 noninstitutionalized adults aged over 18 years for obesity and physical activity, respectively, from the 2000‐2006 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance…
Associations of supermarket accessibility with obesity and fruit and vegetable consumption in the conterminous United States
BACKGROUND: Limited access to supermarkets may reduce consumption of healthy foods, resulting in poor nutrition and increased prevalence of obesity. Most studies have focused on accessibility of supermarkets in specific urban settings or localized rural communities. Less is known, however, about how supermarket accessibility is associated with obesity and healthy diet at the national level and how these associations differ in urban versus rural s…
Modeling coronary heart disease prevalence in regional and sociodemographic contexts
Small Business Establishment Profiles and Rapid Population Growth in Sunbelt Metropolitan Areas, 1995-2005
This study investigates a linkage between rapid population growth in the Sunbelt's metropolitan areas (MSAs) and characteristics of small-scale businesses. Many Sunbelt MSAs are experiencing relatively rapid employment growth that also fuels population growth, and such linkages could well be related to especially potent employment multiplier effects associated with small firms. Using data from the North American Industry Classification System (NA…
