Putting Knowledge into Practice
Insights into barriers and facilitators for healthy eating are needed to improve low-income women's diets and to decrease disease risk. The study objectives were to explore women's qualitative perceptions of influences on their food choices such as food security, their knowledge of nutrition-related health risk factors and self-efficacy for diet change, and their dietary intakes in practice. Thirty-six women, aged 19-50, who were eligible to rece…
Health Behaviors among Low-income Hispanic and Non-Hispanic White Women
Program outreach tailored by acculturation that considers educational level is needed to emphasize existing positive behaviors and address knowledge gaps among low socioeconomic women to improve health and reduce disparities
Investigation of the Effects of Nutrition Education on the Lifestyles of Third-Grade Children and Their Parents
She conducts research on child and elder nutrition in collaboration with the Iowa Department of Public Health. She also investigates causal relationships between socio-economic and behavioral factors that influence health disparities
Evidence of a Housing Decision Chain in Rural Community Vitality
The purpose of this research was to explore and explain the role housing plays in rural community vitality. Community vitality refers to economic strength and social well-being. In spring 2002 we collected primary interview data from informants in 134 small rural communities in nine north-central states and identified related secondary data from the U.S. census. We developed a structural-equation-path model, which supported a 'housing decision ch…
Research on Homelessness
The difficulties surrounding research on homelessness are numerous and substantial. Using a statewide census of homelessness, this article analyzes and critiques common methodological techniques employed in that study. In addition, using cross-tabulation and loglinear modeling, the relationship between key demographic variables and the cited primary cause of homelessness, as well as the types of housing needed, are assessed. Through a multiphased…
Methodologies for Examining Homelessness and Their Application to a Mandated Statewide Study
Using findings from a federally mandated statewide study of homelessness in the state of Iowa, this paper presents methodologies developed to address various aspects of homeless research, including enumeration of the population, screening for reporting duplications, estimating the annual number of incidents of homelessness, and exploring county‐level estimates of homelessness. After implementing an algorithm to eliminate duplicate reporting, and …

Access to Health Care Among Three Cohorts of Older Americans Residing in a Rural State
Three cohorts of older Americans are examined to determine how they perceive the likelihood of being able to access health care in the future. A modified Andersen (1968) model provides the framework for the study. A representative sample of 2,404 noninstitutionalized midwestern older persons separated into three age cohorts (60–69, 70–79, and 80+) was used. Predisposing, enabling, and need factors were examined by logistic regression. Significant…
Quality of Adult Child‐Aging Parent Relationships
In a study of the attachment bond, determinants of the quality of the adult child‐aging parent relationship are analyzed from the child's perspective for 180 adult child‐aging parent pairs. Structural equation models are estimated for thefull sample andfor parent‐child pairs living more than 60 miles apart and within 60 miles of each other. In the full sample, quality of the adult child‐elderly parent relationship is enhanced by greater frequency…
Religious Commitment and Social Relationships
In this paper we examine religious commitment and social relationships of Catholic sisters and the relative contributions of these and other variables to their self-esteem in later life. Using a sample of 377 Catholic sisters with an average age of 63.5, we conducted a series of a hierarchical recession analyses to examine the relative contributions of blocks of socio-demographic variables, religious commitment variables, personal relationship va…
Interstate Migration
This study presents a model of net interstate migration in the United States during the 1970s. Of 5 composite dimensions derived from an exploratory factor analysis of 20 candidate predictors of interstate migration, the greatest predictive power in an ordinary least squares regression analysis is attained by a set of quality‐of‐life correlates of migration. Composites of fiscal policy and labor relations variables, more controllable by public de…
The States And Biotechnology
John Portz and Peter Eisinger have provided a valuable conceptual overview of state government initiatives for economic development through biotechnology. Their three major models of policy choice - - based on interest-group processes, strategic planning, and competing interest groups in the allocation of planned development initiatives — seem to be sound theoretically and are convincingly examined empirically. Further, Portz and Eisinger provide…
State Legislators and Economic Development
This article presents a detailed examination of some key political dimen- sions underlying cooperative research in agricultural biotechnology among state land-grant universities, state legislatures, and biotechnology corpora- tions. Factor analysis and path analysis methods are employed to assess differences in the perceptions of university administrators, biotechnology corporation researchers, and state legislators, using national and state surv…

Some correlates of partisan preference in Greece, 1980
The factors underlying patterns of partisan preference in Greece have been the subject of fairly little systematic analysis. This article uses data from a 1980 Euro‐Barometer survey, the first to include a Greek sample, to outline the structure of the Greek partisan universe. A number of demographic variables – age, family income, education, occupation, sex, size of community, and household status – together with attitudinal variables regarding b…
