Community Awareness-Raising to Support Tobacco Policy
BACKGROUND: The tobacco retailer environment (TRE) harms communities, but the implementation of policies to address it have been slow and uneven and receive tepid public support. OBJECTIVE: To test whether a smartphone app's photo-mapping activity could raise community awareness of the TRE. METHODS: This was a non-randomized study with a pre-post design. For three weeks, 75 university students engaged with the app, which incentivized participants…
Anarchy, Evolution, and Ethics in International Relations
Challenging the Realist claim that international anarchy produces an amoral sphere of political action, Brian C. Rathbun argues that anarchy has selected for individuals with a particular moral sense. Flipping Realist arguments around, he claims that individuals would have never survived the hardships of anarchy if they were completely amoral. Rather, morality is a precondition for survival in anarchy. But unlike Constructivists, who maintain tha…
Better than a bet
Behavioral IR is enjoying newfound popularity. Nonetheless, attempts to integrate behavioral research into the larger project of IR theory have proven controversial. Many scholars treat behavioral findings as a trove of plausible ad hoc modifications to rational choice models, thereby lending credence to arguments that behavioral IR is merely residual, empirical, and hence not theoretical. Others limit their research to cataloging outcomes consis…
Addressing a National Health Crisis
To the Editor: Heart failure is the leading cause of hospitalization among the elderly, with an estimated yearly cost of ~$108 billion dollars globally, of which ~$30 billion is spent in the United States. 1 Much of this burden is due to heart failure’s high national readmission rates—the 30-day readmission rate is 24% and the 1-year readmission rate is 60%. 2 Furthermore, meta-analyses of heart failure readmission rates show that socioeconomic f…
Relation of incident chronic disease with changes in muscle function, mobility, and self-reported health
The primary objective was to learn the extent that muscle function, mobility, and self-reported health decline following incident diabetes, stroke, lung problem, and heart problems. A secondary objective was to measure subsequent recovery following the incident events. A longitudinal panel study of the natural history of four major chronic diseases using the Health and Retirement Study, a nationally representative sample of adults over age 50 yea…
Assessing associations between insecure income and US workers' health
Gig economy compensation policy initiatives, such as California Prop 22, are increasing the number of US workers receiving piece rate pay (PRP) and other forms of insecure income. However, there is limited evidence about how this trend affects people's health. Using data from the 2008-19 IPUMS Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS), we examined associations between insecure compensation and US adults' self-reported overall health as well as psyc…
The Association of Race/Ethnicity, Dietary Intake, and Physical Activity with Depression
The Past, Present, and Future of Behavioral IR
Originally developed by applying models from cognitive psychology to the study of foreign policy decision making, the field of behavioral IR is undergoing important transformations. Building on a broader range of models, methods, and data from the fields of neuroscience, biology, and genetics, behavioral IR has moved beyond the staid debate between rational choice and psychology and instead investigates the plethora of mechanisms selected by evol…
Considering Health Literacy, Health Decision Making, and Health Communication in the Social Networks of Vulnerable New Mothers in Hawai‘i
Health literacy is understudied in the context of social networks. Our pilot study goal was to consider this research gap among vulnerable, low-income mothers of minority ethnic background in the state of Hawai'i, USA. Recruitment followed a modified snowball sampling approach. First, we identified and interviewed seven mothers ("egos") in a state-sponsored home visiting program. We then sought to interview individuals whom each mother said was p…
Role of social ecological model level on young Pacific children’s sugar-sweetened beverage and water intakes
Objective: To examine children’s sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) and water intakes in relation to implemented intervention activities across the social ecological model (SEM) during a multilevel community trial. Design: Children’s Healthy Living was a multilevel, multicomponent community trial that reduced young child obesity (2013–2015). Baseline and 24-month cross-sectional data were analysed from nine intervention arm communities. Implemented i…
Relation of the Networks Formed by Diabetic Patients Sharing Physicians With Emergency Department Visits and Hospitalizations
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate if the networks of diabetic patients sharing physicians are associated with emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations. STUDY DESIGN: This is a retrospective cohort study. METHODS: We used administrative data from a large insurer in Hawaii in 2010. Three types of networks were defined based on patient visits: (1) the total number of links from one patient to other patients sharing …

Prevalence of Chronic Conditions and Multimorbidities in a Geographically Defined Geriatric Population With Diverse Races and Ethnicities
Race/ethnicity may need to be considered when making clinical decisions and developing health care programs to reduce health disparities and improve quality of life for older individuals with chronic conditions
Distinguishing between primary and secondary racial identification in analyses of health disparities of a multiracial population in Hawaii
The analysis illustrates the importance of accounting for multiracial populations in health disparities research and demonstrates the ability of two approaches to identify multiracial health disparities in data sets with limited sample sizes. The 'primary and secondary race' approach might work particularly well for a multicultural population like Hawaii
Using Quantile Regression to Assess Disparities in Medication Adherence
Whereas the large sample size undoubtedly contributed to the statistical significance, the large magnitude of the disparities, particularly for Filipinos, Native Hawaiians, and other Pacific Islanders, which suggests that these are meaningful differences that need to be addressed. The largest disparities were found at the lowest quantile suggests that they may be occurring among the most vulnerable populations with potentially poor access to care

A Critical View of Global Governance
This article suggests that various dimensions of the larger project of global governance are incoherent and illegitimate. Three dimensions of global governance – the provision of global public goods; processes of transnational regulation; and efforts to spread universal human rights – are examined and found to be deficient in terms of the ability of affected populations to participate in decisions over value trade‐offs. Citizens’ rights to partic…
Antihypertensive Adherence and Drug Class among Asian Pacific Americans

Abusing the Holocaust Analogy
Michael Desch asserts that the strategic use and abuse of a "Holocaust Analogy" is responsible for the United States' unconditional support of Israel and a misguided commitment to combat genocide. Guided by a false sense of guilt, he argues, American decision makers have lost sight of the national interest. 1 The argument fails to persuade. First, Desch's depiction of the Holocaust analogy is unsubstantiated and idiosyncratic. Second, uncovering …

How Do International Institutions Matter? The Domestic Impact of International Rules and Norms
Generally, scholars of international relations have attempted to show that international rules or norms influence state behavior by locating their causal significance at the level of state interactions. However, international rules and norms also affect a country's policy choice by way of the actions of domestic political actors. In particular, government officials and societal interest groups can appeal to an international rule or norm in an eff…
Understanding the Domestic Impact of International Norms
Scholarship on international norms has recently begun to explore how domestic-level structures and processes affect compliance. This literature has identified the domestic legitimacy of an international norm as an important variable in accounting for the effects of norms on state behavior. But scholars have devoted insufficient attention to measuring the legitimacy or salience of international norms in the domestic arena and to identifying the pa…

When norms clash
Almost twenty years old, the constructivist turn in international relations scholarship has succeeded in demonstrating the effects of norms, both in guiding the interactions of states with one another as well as influencing the domestic political debates that give rise to foreign policy outcomes. More recently, scholars have begun to study empirically the interactions between international and domestic normative systems. The origins of many inter…

Taking Offense at Offense-Defense Theory
In his article Offense, Defense, and the Causes of War,' Stephen Van Evera claims that offense-defense is important, has explanatory range.... wide realworld applicability.... large prescriptive utility.... [and] is quite satisfying (p. 41). Van Evera's conclusions are, however, unwarranted. First, his reformulation of influential arguments made prominent by Robert Jervis stretches the meaning of key concepts such that interesting avenues of empi…

Adiposity and blood pressure in a multiethnic population of women in Hawaii
Higher body fat measures, especially BMI, were associated with higher systolic blood pressure. However, higher subscapular skinfold (upper body) thickness was also associated with higher diastolic blood pressure. Subscapular fatness appears to be especially important among women of Asian ethnicity, Filipino women in particular

The Negro Land-Grant College
Between 1861 and 1890 much of interest was taking place in the educational life of the Negro. The discussions of the presidential campaign which resulted in the election of Lincoln as President increased the desire on the part of Negroes not only for freedom but knowledge as well. During the Civil War period agitations, travel, contacts, and new plantation responsibilities all combined to urge Negroes to continue to learn on a selfhelp basis. Aft…

The Future of the Negro Public College
While visiting in Richmond, Virginia in April 1865 President Lincoln told an audience that Negroes should have every right that other citizens enjoyed and upon his return to Washington he would begin the task of securing for them all of the rights of citizenship. Shortly after this he was dead and until now the task represents the unfinished business of democracy. Efforts to secure these rights over a period of almost a hundred years point up cha…
