Taking Care of Yourself and Your Risk for Breast Cancer (Cuidarse)
Latinas in the United States are more likely to be diagnosed with late-stage breast cancer (BC) compared to non-Latinas. Literacy-appropriate and culturally sensitive cancer communication interventions can help address existing racial/ethnic BC disparities. We formatively developed a new BC prevention brochure for Spanish-speaking Latinas (≥35 years). Eligible women ( n = 240) from a large public hospital in California were randomly assigned to o…

Perceptions of HIV/Aids in One’s Community Predict HIV Testing
Using a subsample of respondents to the 2005 Los Angeles County health survey, we examined the relationship between perceptions of the seriousness of HIV/AIDS in one's community and HIV testing. We constructed a propensity score-based matched sample of three groups with differing perceptions of the seriousness of HIV in their community: high perceived seriousness, low perceived seriousness, and uncertain about seriousness. We compared HIV testing…
A Field Experiment on the Impact of Physician-level Performance Data on Consumers’ Choice of Physician
BACKGROUND: In 2008, HealthPlus of Michigan introduced an online primary care provider (PCP) report that displays clinical quality data and patients' ratings of their experiences with PCPs on a public web site. DESIGN AND PROCEDURE: A randomized encouragement design was used to examine the impact of HealthPlus's online physician-quality report on new plan members' choice of a PCP. This study evaluated the impact of an added encouragement to utili…

Off-Premise Alcohol Sales Policies, Drinking, and Sexual Risk Among People Living With HIV
Drinking among HIV-positive individuals increases risks of disease progression and possibly sexual transmission. We examined whether state alcohol sales policies are associated with drinking and sexual risk among people living with HIV. In a multivariate analysis combining national survey and state policy data, we found that HIV-positive residents of states allowing liquor sales in drug and grocery stores had 70% to 88% greater odds of drinking, …
Parenting Predictors of Early-Adolescents’ Health Behaviors
It's Better on TV
CONTEXT: Two‐thirds of sexually experienced teenagers in the United States say they wish they had waited longer to have intercourse for the first time. Little is known about why such a large proportion of teenagers express disappointment about the timing of their initial experience with sex. METHODS: Data on television viewing, on regret about the timing of first intercourse and on potentially relevant covariates were obtained from a national, th…

Behavior patterns and sexual identity of bisexual males
Bisexuality may be measured in terms of bisexual behavior or bisexual self‐identity. The relationship between the two is poorly understood. Data from a 1982 survey of readers of Playboy magazine are used to examine the identity and behavior of 6,982 men who acknowledged adult sexual experiences with both men and women. Of these, 29 percent described themselves as bisexual, 2 percent as homosexual, and 69 percent as heterosexual in identification.…
The Consequences of Parenthood for the Marital Stability of Young Adults
This paper examines how the birth of the first child affects the stability of marriages over the short run: it uses [U.S.] data from the National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972. [The] results show strong positive effects of the first birth on the marital stability of young adults. [The authors] estimate that by the time the first child reaches his second birth [date] more than 20 percent of the parents would have been divorce…

Using Pooled Kappa to Summarize Interrater Agreement across Many Items
We propose the pooled estimator of kappa, an efficient estimator when summarizing the interrater agreement for qualitative data with many items but few subjects. We evaluate this estimator through a simulation of proposed and alternative (average kappa) estimators and subsequently apply our method to calculate pooled and average kappas over 2,176 rated items from six semistructured interviews with sponsors of the CAHPS. The proposed pooled kappa …
Changes in the Employment Activities of New Parents
Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of the High School Class of 1972 this paper examines the impact of the transition to parenthood on the amount of time men and women spend on paid employment. An individual-effects methodology is used. Its basic premise is that the effect of parenthood on the activities of a particualr individual can be estimated by comparing changes over time in the individuals activity measures with estimates of t…

Religiosity, Denominational Affiliation, and Sexual Behaviors Among People With HIV in the United States
This study sought to describe religiosity and denominational affiliation among the U.S. population living with HIV and to test whether either is associated with HIV-related sexual risk behaviors. A nationally representative sample of 1,421 people in care for HIV, 932 of whom reported recent sexual activity, was utilized. Religiosity was associated with fewer sexual partners and a lower likelihood of engaging in unprotected sex and in high-risk se…
Social cognitive processes mediating the relationship between exposure to television's sexual content and adolescents' sexual behavior
This study used multiple-group structural equation modeling to test a model explaining the association between exposure to televised sexual content and initiation of intercourse among an ethnically diverse national sample of 1,292 adolescents. The authors hypothesized, on the basis of social-cognitive theory, that exposure to televised sexual content would influence adolescents' safe-sex self-efficacy, sex-related outcome expectancies, and percei…
