Impact of Pre-Diagnosed Depressive Symptoms on Treatment Choice, Delay in Initiating Treatment, and Mortality Among Women Aged ≥65 Years with Breast Cancer
Studies that have sought to describe and account for pre-diagnosed depressive symptoms on BC treatment choice, delay in initiating treatment, and mortality have been inconsistent. The purpose of the study is to examine the association between pre-diagnosed depressive symptoms and their impact on breast cancer (BC) treatment, treatment delays, and mortality. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Re…
Nondaily tobacco use among Black and White college undergraduates
Little is known about how the characteristics of college undergraduate nondaily tobacco users compare to daily tobacco users. We conducted a survey to compare the sociodemographic, tobacco use, psychological, and alcohol-related factors between nondaily versus daily tobacco users in a sample of Black and White college undergraduates aged 18–24 years (N = 1623). Of this sample, 301 (18.5%) participants reported using tobacco in the previous 30 day…

Racial/Ethnic Differences in Cigarette Smoking Initiation and Progression to Daily Smoking
Objectives. We sought to identify individual and contextual predictors of adolescent smoking initiation and progression to daily smoking by race/ethnicity. Methods. We used data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health to estimate the effects of individual (adolescent, family, peer) and contextual (school and state) factors on smoking onset among nonsmokers (n = 5374) and progression to daily smoking among smokers (n = 4474) with…

Rural Out-migration in the Drought Prone Areas of Ethiopia
This article presents a multilevel analysis of rural out-migration in Ethiopia over the 1984–1994 period. Using a recent household survey carried out in the drought prone rural areas of Ethiopia, discrete-time hazard models are used to examine the impact of individual, household and community factors on migration. Incorporating a life-course and the “new economics of migration” perspectives, our findings suggest that rural out-migration in these …
Household Vulnerability to Food Crisis and Mortality in the Drought-Prone Areas of Northern Ethiopia
This study examines the association between a household's degree of vulnerability to food crisis and the incidence of deaths using primary survey data carried out to look at the demographic consequences of drought and famine in the drought-prone areas of northern Ethiopia. Retrospective data on the occurrences of deaths within a household were collected for the period 1984 to 1994. Consistent with previous studies, the findings confirm that morta…
The impact of postmarital residence of fertility, early childhood mortality, and child health in Southern Ethiopia
The link between family systems and demographic behavior has recently been the subject of important new theoretical and empirical work by anthropologists and others. Among the key foci for this work has been the link between coresidential arrangements following marriage and young wives' status and power, and the impact this and gender preferences typical of certain family systems have on fertility and on infant and child mortality. To date, this …
