Where Is All the Deviance? Liminal Prescribing and the Social Networks Underlying the Prescription Drug Crisis
The misuse of prescription drugs is a pressing public health crisis in the United States that is fueled by high-risk prescribing. We show that high-risk prescribing comprises two distinct practices: (1) routinely overprescribing to patients whose prescription -fill patterns are consistent with misuse or abuse, which conforms to the definition of deviance in sociology, and (2) routinely overprescribing to patients whose prescription-fill patterns …
Social Networks and Loneliness During the Covid-19 Pandemic
We utilize longitudinal social network data collected pre-COVID-19 in June 2019 and compare them with data collected in the midst of COVID in June 2020. We find significant decreases in network density and global network size following a period of profound social isolation. While there is an overall increase in loneliness during this era, certain social network characteristics of individuals are associated with smaller increases in loneliness. Sp…
The How Matters
BACKGROUND: Investigating primary care provider (PCP)-team communication can provide insight into how colleagues work together to become high-functioning teams more able to address an increasingly complex set of tasks associated with chronic disease management. OBJECTIVE: To assess how PCP communication with their care team relates to patients' health. RESEARCH DESIGN: Longitudinal study of how 3 aspects of PCP-care team communication-participati…
ADHD remission, inclusive special education, and socioeconomic disparities
To understand how institutional environments and socioeconomic backgrounds may influence health outcomes, we examined the relationship among special education environments, socioeconomic status (SES), and likelihood of ADHD remission in children. While the majority of children experience remission by adulthood, the likelihood of remission varies across different SES levels and education environments. We find that for low SES children the likeliho…
Tradeoff Between Distributed Social Learning and Herding Effect in Online Rating Systems
We investigated how social diffusion increased client participation in an online rating system and, in turn, how this herding effect may affect the metrics of client feedback over the course of years. In a field study, we set up a transparent feedback system for university services: During the process of making service requests, clients were presented with short-term trends of client satisfaction with relevant service outcomes. Deploying this fee…

Medical Adaptation to Academic Pressure
Despite the rise of medical interventions to address behavioral issues in childhood, the social determinants of their use remain poorly understood. By analyzing a dataset that includes the majority of prescriptions written for stimulants in the United States, we find a substantial effect of schooling on stimulant use. In middle and high school, adolescents are roughly 30 percent more likely to have a stimulant prescription filled during the schoo…

Age of diagnosis for autism
BACKGROUND: The incidence of autism rose dramatically between 1992 and 2001, while the age at which children were first diagnosed declined. During this period the size and composition of the autism caseload has changed, but little is known about whether the factors associated with the timing of diagnosis may also have shifted. Using a multilevel analysis strategy, the individual and community-level factors associated with age of diagnosis were mo…
Socioeconomic Status and the Increased Prevalence of Autism in California
The prevalence of autism has increased precipitously-roughly 10-fold in the past 40 years-yet no one knows exactly what caused this dramatic rise. Using a large and representative dataset that spans the California birth cohorts from 1992 through 2000, we examine individual and community resources associated with the likelihood of an autism diagnosis over time. This allows us to identify key social factors that have contributed to increased autism…
The spatial structure of autism in California, 1993–2001
King and Bearman Respond
We appreciate the interest that Reichenberg et al. have shown in our work. In our article, we showed that examining parental age effects by birth cohort can yield important insight into variability in risk across time and ameliorate risk inflation arising from pooling data across birth cohorts.1 A recent study published by Grether et al.2 further affirmed the value of careful attention to temporality in risk, rather than diminishing the importanc…
King Et Al. Respond
We appreciate interest in our article and are particularly grateful that Durkin et al. highlighted the importance of considering parameterization in research on parental age and autism. Making sense of parental age has always been complicated because homophily on age plays a significant role in partner selection. The decomposition presented in our article mitigates these statistical problems. As Durkin et al. noted, our decomposition utilizes a c…
Social Influence and the Autism Epidemic
Despite a plethora of studies, we do not know why autism incidence has increased rapidly over the past two decades. Using California data, this study shows that children living very close to a child previously diagnosed with autism are more likely to be diagnosed with autism. An underlying social influence mechanism involving information diffusion drives this result, contributing to 16% of the increase in prevalence over 2000-2005. We eliminate c…
Estimated Autism Risk and Older Reproductive Age
Objectives. We sought to estimate the risk for autism associated with maternal and paternal age across successive birth cohorts. Methods. We linked birth records and autism diagnostic records from the California Department of Developmental Services for children born in California between 1992 and 2000 to calculate the risk associated with maternal and paternal age for each birth cohort as well as for the pooled data. Results. The categorical risk…
Social Movements and Organizational Form
How do social movements promote diversity and alternative organizational forms? We address this question by analyzing how cooperative enterprise was affected by the Grange-a leading anticorporate movement in the United States during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. State-level analyses across three industries yield three findings. First, the Grange had positive effects on cooperatives and mutuals during the nineteenth-century po…
Cooptation or Cooperation
Transnational advocacy networks (TANs) have burgeoned in recent years. Despite their rapid growth and increasing importance, several critical questions remain about relations within TANs. Two perspectives that have emerged have varying understandings about how information, ideas, and norms flow within these networks. The perspectives emphasize both relations and diffusion characterized by either cooptation or cooperation. Hypotheses emerging from…
