Awareness of US Empire and Militarist Ideology: A Survey of College Students from a Southwestern University in the United States
Much scholarship on militarism examines the phenomenon itself rather than determinants of militaristic ideology.

We then created an Imperialism Awareness Index that provides a measure of responden…
Human Resources for Health and Health Outcomes in Cuba: An Analysis of Their Distributions over Time and Space
Developments in Cuba's healthcare system, infant mortality rate (IMR) trends, and commitment to universal healthcare have been examined by past research.

Developing nations are classified using cluster analysis based on seven key health and development factors: income inequality, under-nutrition, government share of total expenditure on heal…
