  • Unequal gains

    Open AccessNatalie Malak, H Horan et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Infant mortality remains a critical public health concern in the United States, with disparities by race and maternal marital status. In response, Alabama implemented a pilot initiative in 2019 to reduce the state’s high infant mortality rate (IMR). This study evaluates the program’s effectiveness in mitigating IMR disparities across race and marital status. We utilized linked birth and infant death certificate data from 2014 to 2023 to assess pr…

  • Family support and treatment completion for unhealthy alcohol use in a SBIRT program

    Dawna Nelson, Dawna D Nelson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Work Practice…2024

    Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) research indicates that substance use severity is a predictor of readiness to change, which is in turn associated with positive treatment follow-through. Using a strengths-based approach, family support is hypothesized to be a protective factor related to treatment completion; yet additional research is needed to substantiate the role of this construct when considering other pre-tre…

  • Hardships at Home

    Open AccessScott Parrott, Nicholas Eckhart et al.ARTICLEArmed Forces & Society2024Referências: 21

    Scholars have described a divide between military and civilian culture, often focusing on the relationship between civilian communities and the Armed Forces and its veterans. Equally important are the families of military personnel. News media are an important source of information about military society for many U.S. civilians. This study examined how three types of news publications portrayed military families on Twitter between 2010 and 2020. …

  • Rural Military Veterans of Color and STEM Occupational Outcomes

    Open AccessJustin T Mcdaniel, Harvey Henson et al.ARTICLEArmed Forces & Society2024Referências: 27

    Although the literature on veteran differences in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) occupational outcomes by gender is established and veteran/nonveteran differences in STEM outcomes are well studied, we fill a gap in the literature by examining the following two research questions in this study: (1) are rural veterans less likely than urban veterans to be employed in a STEM occupation and how does race/ethnicity modify thi…

  • Addressing Gaps and Saving Lives

  • Chronic disease multimorbidity and substance use among African American men

    M Daniel Bennett, Justin T Mcdaniel et al.ARTICLEEthnicity and Health2023Referências: 5

    Chronic disease multi-morbidity appears to be a context in which African American veterans may be at greater risk for certain undesirable health behaviors than African American non-veterans and at lower risk for others. This may be due to exposure to trauma, difficulty accessing care, socio-environmental factors, and co-occurring mental health conditions. These complex interactions may contribute to higher rates of SUDs among African American vet…

    Zainab Suntai, Kirsten Laha‐walsh et al.ARTICLEDeath Studies2023Referências: 1

Participants were recruited from Amazon Mechanical Turk to complete a Qualtrics survey on the importance of the 18 domains of the Good Death Inventory scale. Logistic regression models were then used to analyze any differences between veterans ( n = 241) and nonveterans ( n = 1151). Results showed that veterans …

  • U.S. Veterans and Civilians Describe Military News Coverage as Mediocre, Think Stories Affect Others More Than Themselves

    Open AccessScott Parrott, David L Albright et al.ARTICLEArmed Forces & Society2023Referências: 23

    The news media often portray military veterans in stereotypical ways, providing audiences narrow representations in which veterans are traumatized heroes. What happens when a veteran sees these storylines and assumes they affect how the public thinks about veterans? This question informs this study, which used a two-prong approach (online, telephone) to survey 1,047 American adults about news media and veterans. Respondents, including veterans an…

  • Transition Services Utilization Among US Women Veterans

The survey instrument focused broadly on measuring different aspects of military transition. The quantitative analysis revealed, through the multiva…

    Open AccessDavid L Albright, Kari L Fletcher et al.ARTICLEHealth & Social Care in the…2022

    In the United States, tobacco use, alcohol consumption and substance use disorders are more prevalent among veterans when compared to nonveterans. This is also seen in Alabama, which led the researchers to review county level data to examine possible links between substance use, mental health and suicide by veteran status. This study sought to evaluate behavioural health outcomes and impacting factors for military veterans and nonveterans living …

  • The Good Death Among Black, Indigenous, and/or People of Color

    Open AccessZainab Suntai, Kirsten Laha‐walsh et al.ARTICLEOMEGA - Journal of Death and Dying2022

    A good death is one where a patient's preferences and wishes are fully respected.

Participants were recruited from Amazon Mechanical Turk, and then directed to complete a quantitative survey indicating the importance of each item on the Good Death Inventory. A logistic regression model was used to identi…

  • When we Post About #Veterans

    Open AccessScott Parrott, David L Albright et al.ARTICLEJournal of Veterans Studies2022Citada por: 1Referências: 3

    News media represent an important source of information for the civilian public when it comes to military veterans and the Armed Forces. This can be problematic given that journalists often present shallow representations of veterans. The present study seeks to understand how news stories shape public conversations about military veterans by examining when—and what—people communicate when talking about military veterans on social media in the Uni…

  • Veterans and Media

    Open AccessScott Parrott, David L Albright et al.ARTICLEArmed Forces & Society2022Citada por: 3Referências: 22

    The mass media are an important source of information concerning military service personnel and veterans. Veterans, veterans organizations, and others have criticized the mass media for providing the public shallow representations of veterans and military service in which veterans are heroes traumatized mentally and/or physically by their service. Despite the concern, scant research has empirically examined how exposure to such content affects pu…

  • Presidential and Gubernatorial Tweets Involving Military Servicemembers and Veterans

    Open AccessNicholas Eckhart, Nicholas R Eckhart et al.ARTICLEJournal of Veterans Studies2021

    The military consistently ranks as one of the most highly favorable occupations in the United States (US). However, fewer and fewer people have contact with military veterans than in the past, a trend that is expected to continue. Since military veterans carry such high levels of favorability but continue to lose contact with society, a content analysis of 1,976 tweets from former president Donald Trump and US governors was conducted to understan…

  • Mental Representations of Military Veterans

    Open AccessScott Parrott, David L Albright et al.ARTICLEJournal of Veterans Studies2020

    There has been much popular and academic discussion concerning the public’s mental “pictures” of US military veterans, a group afforded symbolic capital but also stereotyped by American society. Nevertheless, we have little empirical research concerning how the public thinks about military veterans. The present study helps to fill the void by examining two mental representations of military veterans among 1,047 respondents to a survey of US adult…
