A feminist materialist inspired analysis of the meaning and management of pregnancy and reproductive health in Olympic and Paralympic female athletes
The number of elite female athletes returning to professional sport following childbirth has gradually increased in recent years. There now exists a burgeoning of scholarship across sport and health-related disciplines that have paid attention to the experiences of pregnancy and motherhood in elite female athlete populations. This paper contributes to this expanding topic of inquiry by taking inspiration from feminist materialist approaches to ex…
Supplemental Material for Historical Change in Midlife Health, Well-Being, and Despair: Cross-Cultural and Socioeconomic Comparisons
In the current study, we included Mexico, which is considered an upper-middle-income and developing nation and the United States, Australia, Germany, and South Korea, which are considered high-income nations. The distinction follows the United Nations (Millennium Development Indicators: World and Regional Groupings, 2003; UN, 2020) that uses the per capita gross national income (GNI) established by the World Bank to classify countries by their le…
Going Home? Belonging and Burial in the Era of Aids
In Eastern Uganda, a married woman should be buried at her husband's home, raising questions such as: which husband? were they really married? These questions become urgent when a woman dies at the home of her parents or brothers, a situation that has become increasingly common as women ill with AIDS seek care from their families of orientation. In Bunyole, the ways in which a woman 'belongs' to two different homes are brought out as discussions …
Quién Soy? Finding My Place in History: Personalizing Learning through Faculty/Librarian Collaboration
Using an authentic assessment approach, two California State University, Fullerton, faculty members developed instructional strategies in support of an assignment that requires students to situate their families within a historical framework. We describe our efforts to provide students with there-search skills to successfully complete the assignment. We used, among other methods, reflective writing assignments to measure the growth of students’ i…
"Anchoring" white community: White women activists and the politics of public schools
This article discusses the political clout wielded by a group of white women who participate in “Presidents’ Committee,” an organization of Parents Association presidents in a New York City Community School District. The school district, like many urban areas, is experiencing an exodus of white families to the suburbs, which are seen as offering better resources and a safe social distance from blacks and other non‐whites. In this context of socia…
Use of Medical Care by African American and White Older Persons: Comparative Analysis of Three National Data Sets
Historically, there has been a large gap between African Americans and Whites in access to health care, but this gap was ostensibly lessened by the advent of Medicare and Medicaid for older adults in the mid 1960s. The extent to which older African Americans continue to receive less access to medical care as a result of economic inequalities, institutionalized forms of discrimination, and life-style factors remains a subject of policy debate. Emp…

METHODS: A national survey sampled 1772 physicians. Analyses tested correlates of recommended treatment regimens. RESULTS: Among respondents, 59.4% described a recommended regimen. Specialists; physicians aware of professional …
Minority use of Community Long-Term Care Services: A Comparative Analysis
A series of national surveys since 1982 have examined health needs of elders. Small proportions of minority elders in each sample have limited our understanding of service use by minorities. This research sought to determine (1) the extent to which minorities have restricted use of community long-term care services as a result of socioeconomic status, family structure, and health status, and (2) the replicability and validity of results across th…
Race, Control, Mastery, and Caregiver Distress
This study investigated the relationship between race, psychological resources of sense of control and caregiver mastery, and distress outcomes of caregiver depression and role stain among 77 African American and 138 White spouse caregivers of persons with dementia. Patterns of association between psychological resources and caregiving distress outcomes varied by type of outcome. Sense of control had a direct negative relationship with depression…
Gender Differences in Caregiving: Fact or Artifact?
This study applies meta-analysis techniques to the results of 14 descriptive studies of gender differences in caregiving to determine the size and significance of gender differences in caregiving stressors (level of elder impairment and level and type of task involvement) and in caregiver burden. There were essentially no significant gender differences in functional impairment of the frail care recipient, total caregiver involvement in care, or i…
