Constructing datasets to measure geographic variation in bereavement
Geographic variation in mortality across the United States is substantial and well documented.Life expectancy, crude mortality rates, and cause-specific death rates vary across states, counties, and communities, reflecting differences in demographic composition, socioeconomic conditions, healthcare access, and local mortality environments. Large-scale epidemiologic efforts, including national life expectancy analyses, U.S. Burden of Disease studi…
A community-based participatory approach to delivering the Dealing with Dementia program to Black caregivers
Background Alter is a community-based program created to address gaps in dementia awareness and caregiving support/resources for Black and faith communities. The Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers (RCI) collaborated with Alter to adapt the existing Dealing with Dementia (DWD) program [DWD Alter ] to better reach and meet the needs of Black families through relevant dementia education and practical caregiving strategies. Context Faith-based …
Population-level impact of loss on survivor mortality risk
A respondent with a loss was twice as likely to die when compared similarly aged persons with no loss (OR 2.32; 95 % CI 1.14, 5.30). Loss of either a parent (OR 1.93; 95 % CI 1.01, 4.07), or a child (OR 1.77; 95 % CI 1.08, 2.96) also increased respondent mortality. This elevated risk persists after adjustment for gender and other high-risk health conditions. Any physical activity reduces survivor death rates during this critical period by more th…
The Impact of Mid- and Late-Life Loss on Insomnia
Bereavement and insomnia are both well-documented risk factors for illness. We use cohort data to estimate risk of insomnia after death of a family member among adults aged 50 to 70 years. Each day, 6700 persons die in the United States. During the next 20 years, this number will increase. In this cohort, any loss increases the likelihood of insomnia. The highest rates of insomnia occur among women aged 50 to 59 years; men aged 65 to 70 years, an…
Factors Associated with Self-Reported Health
This study examined risk factors associated with self-reported health (SRH) in a genetically informative sample of older African American female twins. An interview was conducted with a national sample of 180 African American female twin pairs. Questions included: SRH, demographics, health behaviors, chronic diseases, and functional status. SRH was dichotomized into negative (fair/poor) and positive (good/very good/excellent). Logistic regression…
Executive Cognitive Function of Older People with HIV/Aids
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has been a growing area of concern for social workers and other health care professionals. Living with HIV/AIDS in the primary care clients are more vulnerable to be subjected to executive cognitive impairment. Clients' cognitive impairment can prevent their families and health care professionals from understanding concerns about executive cognitive functioning. Althoug…
