Advancing the Study of Power
In this essay, we provide an overview of how power has been conceptualized in public health and allied fields and describe recent advances connecting power to the topic of health inequities. To aid researchers in capitalizing on these historical and contemporary insights, we offer 6 concrete suggestions for empirical work. Systematic analyses involving these recommendations can help return public health scholars to foundational principles of the …
Income Support Policy Packages and Birth Outcomes in U.S. States
Insider–Outsider Politics and Support for Universal Health Coverage in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
When and why does the public support redistributive policies that seek to provide social risk protection through universal health financing? One central political dilemma in establishing systems of universal health coverage (UHC) in low- and middle-income countries is the small tax base available to contribute to pooled financing of healthcare. Middle-class workers in the formal sector (labor market insiders) may already get health coverage throu…
The effect of administrative burden on state safety‐net participation
Administrative burden in social welfare programs is increasingly recognized as a barrier to eligible individuals' access to their legally entitled benefits. Using composite indices of administrative rules for three major safety‐net programs (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and Medicaid) that vary in the degree and type of costs conferred on claimants across states between 2000 and 2016, we examin…
A healthy migrant effect? Estimating health outcomes of the undocumented immigrant population in the United States using machine learning
State‐level social safety nets for families coping with job loss
Critics of the modern American welfare state allege that safety net benefits discourage work by providing sufficient resources to replace earned income. Yet, research in social policy has long depicted the US safety net as parsimonious and inadequate relative to its European counterparts, even when considering benefits from programs that reward favorable work histories. Other theories predict variability across states and regional clustering even…
Health Power Resources Theory
Link and Phelan's pioneering 1995 theory of fundamental causes urged health scholars to consider the macro-level contexts that 'put people at risk of risks.' Allied research on the political economy of health has since aptly demonstrated how institutions contextualize risk factors for health. Yet scant research has fully capitalized on either fundamental cause or political economy of health's allusion to power relations as a determinant of persis…
Is less more? Examining the relationship between food assistance benefit levels and childhood weight
Although concerns that more food assistance promotes obesity have spurred calls for cuts in the SNAP program, we find the opposite - that SNAP participation is associated with an increase in childhood BMI only when benefit levels are low. This study adds to the mounting evidence suggesting that SNAP does not cause obesity. It also contributes to the literature on the political economy of health, especially that pertaining to social policy variati…
Laws Restricting Access to Abortion Services and Infant Mortality Risk in the United States
Restricting access to abortion services may increase the risk for infant mortality
Organized Labor and Depression in Europe
Despite engagement with the construct of power relations, research on the political economy of health has largely overlooked organized labor as a determinant of well-being. Grounded in the theory of power resources, our study aims to fill this gap by investigating the link between country-level union density and mental health while accounting for the compositional effects of individual-level union membership. We use three waves of the European So…
We Comply with a Little Help from Our Friends
Scholars debate whether human rights treaties and foreign aid are effective in achieving their stated objectives. Using data on more than 100 developing countries over a 20- to 40-year period, we analyze the independent and interactive effects of the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and development assistance (general and health-specific) on three population health outcomes: infant mortality rates, life exp…
WIC Participation and Breastfeeding after the 2009 WIC Revision
In this study, we examined the association between participation in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and breastfeeding outcomes before and after the 2009 revisions. Four-thousand-three-hundred-and-eight WIC-eligible children younger than 60 months were included from the 2005-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). We compared two birth cohorts with regard to their associatio…
Preventive Health Screening Disparities Among Immigrants
Cardiovascular Disease Screening Among Immigrants from Eight World Regions
America’s Declining Well-Being, Health, and Life Expectancy
Although recent declines in life expectancy among non-Hispanic Whites, coined “deaths of despair,” grabbed the headlines of most major media outlets, this is neither a recent problem nor is it confined to Whites. The decline in America’s health has been described in the public health literature for decades and has long been hypothesized to be attributable to an array of worsening psychosocial problems that are not specific to Whites. To test some…
Men's and Women's Marriage and Cohabitation Earnings Gaps in Comparative Perspective
In the United States, marriage has been found to provide a "pay-off" for men's earnings, but there is a scarcity of comparative research to put these findings in context. For women, even less is known regarding the link between marital status and earnings. This study provides insights into whether the financial benefits associated with men's relationships are universal cross-nationally and extend to women. Using data from the Luxembourg Income St…
Unfinished Business
Focusing on two major strands of research on gender stratification, labor market inequality and health disparities, we argue that cisnormativity and heteronormativity obscure the rich variation in how people experience their own sense of gender and sexuality, as well as how others perceive them. Although researchers’ reliance on static notions of gender and sexuality is starting to shift, there is room for improvement, especially in the area of g…
Path Dependency and the Politics of Socialized Health Care
Rich democracies exhibit vast cross-national and historical variation in the socialization of health care. Yet, cross-national analyses remain relatively rare in the health policy literature, and health care remains relatively neglected in the welfare state literature. We analyze pooled time series models of the public share of total health spending for eighteen rich democracies from 1960 to 2010. Building on path dependency theory, we present a …
Region of origin diversity in immigrant health
Bringing You More Than the Weekend
Previous research suggests that higher incomes, safe workplaces, job security and healthcare access all contribute to favorable health. Reflecting the interest of economic and political sociologists in power relations and institutions, union membership has been linked with many such influences on health. Nevertheless, the potential relationship between union membership and health has received little attention. Using logistic regression and propen…
Gender Differences in Immigrant Health
This article draws on theories of gender inequality and immigrant health to hypothesize differences among the largest immigrant population, Mexicans, and a lesser known population of Middle Easterners. Using data from the 2000-2007 National Health Interview Surveys, we compare health outcomes among immigrants to those among U.S.-born whites and assess gender differences within each group. We find an immigrant story and a gender story. Mexican and…
Sector, size, stability, and scandal
Purpose – Although women remain substantially underrepresented in the top echelons of large corporations, a non‐trivial presence of female executives has emerged in recent years. The purpose of this paper is to focus on the firm characteristics that predict the sex of the executive office holder, classifying the plausible firm characteristics that could explain the presence of female executives into four explanations: sector, size, stability, and…
