Tracking the Role of Health Care in the 2020 Election—What Do the Polls Tell Us
How Covid-19 Upended the Election’s Focus on Health Care Policy—Or Did It
Health Forum commentary outlining the role that we thought health care would play in the 2020 election. 1 Relying on our early 2020 Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) Tracking Poll data and analysis of exit polling data from the Associated Press's AP VoteCast, we anticipated that health care would be a dominant issue of the election season, although not in the way that the debates over Medicare for All or a more incremental public option dominated th…
Partisanship, Polling, and the Affordable Care Act
In an age of increasing political polarization, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) stands out as one of the most politically divisive pieces of legislation in recent history. Unlike previous laws making changes to the US health care system, public views of the ACA did not improve measurably as people gained experience with the program, but remained deeply divided on a partisan basis in the more than eight years since its passage. In this article, we e…
Presidential Address
This has truly been an amazing year, and I have been humbled and honored to serve as your president. As my friends and colleagues, who are strewn throughout this room, know, I am a bit obsessive in my preparation, and my preparation for this was no different. I have spent the past three months reading every single AAPOR presidential address from the 70 years of our history. All of them. Every word. And one thing that really struck me during my re…
Hard-to-Survey Populations
Surveys are used extensively in psychology, sociology and business, as well as many other areas, but they are becoming increasingly difficult to conduct. Some segments of the population are hard to sample, some are hard to find, others are hard to persuade to participate in surveys, and still others are hard to interview. This book offers the first systematic look at the populations and settings that make surveys hard to conduct and at the method…
Use of a Telephone Screener to Identify a Probability Sample of Gays, Lesbians, and Bisexuals
The use of a screener on a national telephone survey to screen households for self-identified lesbian, gay, and bisexual adults was a successful way to generate a representative sample
Experiences of Hurricane Katrina Evacuees in Houston Shelters
Objectives. To shed light on how the public health community can promote the recovery of Hurricane Katrina victims and protect people in future disasters, we examined the experiences of evacuees housed in Houston area shelters 2 weeks after the hurricane. Methods. A survey was conducted September 10 through 12, 2005, with 680 randomly selected respondents who were evacuated to Houston from the Gulf Coast as a result of Hurricane Katrina. Intervie…
Latinos and Political Party Affiliation
The past few elections have witnessed an increased contestation of votes across racial and ethnic identities, especially with regard to Latinos. As such, this article explores and reports on the important relationship between Latino identity and political party identification. Using the 2002 National Survey of Latinos (with its representative sample of nearly 3,000 Latinos), it is found that in addition to traditional measures of party identifica…
Health News and the American Public, 1996–2002
The Kaiser Family Foundation/Harvard School of Public Health Health News Index, a series of 39 surveys with a total of over 42,000 respondents from 1996 through 2002, measures how closely Americans follow major health stories in the news and what they understand about the issues covered in those stories. On average, four in ten adults reported following health news stories closely. The public reports paying the most attention to stories about pub…
Health Information, The Internet, And The Digital Divide
Through an analysis of recent data on adults' and children's computer use and experiences, this DataWatch shows that use of computers and the Internet is widespread and that significant percentages of the public are already using the Internet to get health information. The surveys also show that the Internet is already a useful vehicle for reaching large numbers of lower-income, less-educated, and minority Americans. However, a substantial digita…
Did the Media Leave the Voters Uninformed in the 1996 Election
Bridging the Gap Between the Public's and Economists' Views of the Economy
This paper reports the results of two parallel 1996 surveys, one of economists, one of the public. It finds that the public has a bleaker picture of what has happened economically to the average family and is more pessimistic than most economists about the intermediate future. The public cites different reasons than economists do for why the economy is not doing better. Also, individuals' perceptions of their own economic experiences yield a diff…
What is Rock Music Doing to the Minds of our Youth? A First Experimental Look at the Effects of Rock Music Lyrics and Music Videos
This article reports the results of three preliminary studies of the cognitive effects of rock music lyrics and music videos. Study 1 indicates that comprehension of rock music lyrics develops with age and that lyrics are often misunderstood, particularly by young children who lack relevant world knowledge and are at a concrete stage of cognitive development. Study 2 shows that music videos provide less stimulation to imagination and are enjoyed …
