Association Between Socioeconomic Position Discrimination and Psychological Distress: Findings From a Community-Based Sample of Gay and Bisexual Men in New York City
Authors: Gamarel Kristi E. , Reisner Sari L. , Parsons Jeffrey T. , Golub Sarit A. 
Published: September 2012

Objectives. We examined the association between discrimination and mental health distress, focusing specifically on the relative importance of discrimination because of particular demographic domains (i.e., race/ethnicity, socioeconomic position [SEP]). Methods. The research team surveyed a sample of gay and bisexual men (n = 294) at a community event in New York City. Participants completed a survey on demographics, discrimination experiences in the past 12 months, attributed domains of discrimination, and mental health distress. Results. In adjusted models, discrimination was associated with higher depressive (B = 0.31; P < .01) and anxious (B = 0.29; P < .01) symptoms. A statistically significant quadratic term (discrimination-squared; P < .01) fit both models, such that moderate levels of discrimination were most robustly associated with poorer mental health. Discrimination because of SEP was associated with higher discrimination scores and was predictive of higher depressive (B = 0.22; P < .01) and anxious (B = 0.50; P < .01) symptoms. No other statistically significant relationship was found between discrimination domains and distress. Conclusions. In this sample, SEP emerged as the most important domain of discrimination in its association with mental health distress. Future research should consider intersecting domains of discrimination to better understand social disparities in mental health.

Objectives. Although the risk of HIV among New York City West Indian–born Black immigrants often is assumed to be high, population-based data are lacking, a gap we aimed to address. Methods. Using 2006–2007 HIV/AIDS surveillance data from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and population data from the US Census American Community Survey 2007, we compared the rate of newly reported HIV diagnoses, prevalence of people living with HIV/AIDS, and distribution of transmission risk categories in West Indian–born Blacks, 2 other immigrant groups, and US-born Blacks and Whites. Results. The age-adjusted rate of newly reported HIV diagnoses for West Indian–born Blacks was 43.19 per 100 000 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 38.92, 49.10). This was higher than the rate among US-born Whites (19.96; 95% CI = 18.63, 21.37) and Dominican immigrants and lower than that among US-born Blacks (109.48; 95% CI = 105.02, 114.10) and Haitian immigrants. Heterosexual transmission was the largest risk category in West Indian–born Blacks, accounting for 41% of new diagnoses. Conclusions. Although much lower than in US-born Blacks, the rate of newly reported HIV diagnoses in West Indian–born Blacks exceeds that among US-born Whites. Additional work is needed to understand the migration-related sources of risk.

Objectives. We tracked the unintentional injury death disparity between American Indians/Alaska Natives and non–American Indians/Alaska Natives in New Mexico, 1980 to 2009. Methods. We calculated age-adjusted rates and rate ratios for unintentional injury deaths and their external causes among American Indians/Alaska Natives and non–American Indians/Alaska Natives. We tested trend significance with the Mann–Kendall test. Results. The unintentional injury death rate ratio of American Indians/Alaska Natives to non–American Indians/Alaska Natives declined from 2.9 in 1980–1982 to 1.5 in 2007–2009. The rate among American Indians/Alaska Natives decreased 47.2% from 1980–1982 to 1995–1997. Among non–American Indians/Alaska Natives, the rate declined 25.3% from 1980–1982 to 1992–1994, then increased 31.9% from 1992–1994 to 2007–2009. The motor vehicle traffic and pedestrian death rates decreased 57.8% and 74.6%, respectively, among American Indians/Alaska Natives from 1980–1982 to 2007–2009. Conclusions. The unintentional injury death rate disparity decreased substantially from 1980–1982 to 2007–2009 largely because of the decrease in motor vehicle crash and pedestrian death rates among American Indians/Alaska Natives and the increase in the poisoning death rate among non–American Indians/Alaska Natives.

Objectives. Heart disease death overreporting is problematic in New York City (NYC) and other US jurisdictions. We examined whether overreporting affects the premature (< 65 years) heart disease death rate disparity between non-Hispanic Blacks and non-Hispanic Whites in NYC. Methods. We identified overreporting hospitals and used counts of premature heart disease deaths at reference hospitals to estimate corrected counts. We then corrected citywide, age-adjusted premature heart disease death rates among Blacks and Whites and a White–Black premature heart disease death disparity. Results. At overreporting hospitals, 51% of the decedents were White compared with 25% at reference hospitals. Correcting the heart disease death counts at overreporting hospitals decreased the age-adjusted premature heart disease death rate 10.1% (from 41.5 to 37.3 per 100 000) among Whites compared with 4.2% (from 66.2 to 63.4 per 100 000) among Blacks. Correction increased the White–Black disparity 6.1% (from 24.6 to 26.1 per 100 000). Conclusions. In 2008, NYC’s White–Black premature heart disease death disparity was underestimated because of overreporting by hospitals serving larger proportions of Whites. Efforts to reduce overreporting may increase the observed disparity, potentially obscuring any programmatic or policy-driven advances.

Published: September 2012

Objectives. We examined migration-related changes in smoking behavior in the transnational Mexican-origin population.Methods. We combined epidemiological surveys from Mexico (Mexican National Comorbidity Survey) and the United States (Collaborative Psychiatric Epidemiology Surveys). We compared 4 groups with increasing US contact with respect to smoking initiation, persistence, and daily cigarette consumption: Mexicans with no migrant in their family, Mexicans with a migrant in their family or previous migration experience, migrants, and US-born Mexican Americans.Results. Compared with Mexicans with a migrant in their family or previous migration experience, migrants were less likely to initiate smoking (odds ratio [OR] = 0.56; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.38, 0.83) and less likely to be persistent smokers (OR = 0.41; 95% CI = 0.26, 0.63). Among daily smokers, the US-born smoked more cigarettes per day than did Mexicans with a migrant in their family or previous migration experience for men (7.8 vs 6.5) and women (8.6 vs 4.3).Conclusions. Evidence suggests that smoking is suppressed among migrants relative to the broader transnational Mexican-origin population. The pattern of low daily cigarette consumption among US-born Mexican Americans, noted in previous research, represents an increase relative to smokers in Mexico.
Walking to School in Japan and Childhood Obesity Prevention: New Lessons From an Old Policy
Authors: Mori Nagisa , Armada Francisco , Willcox D. Craig 
Published: September 2012

Objectives. We analyzed the Japan’s walking-to-school practice implemented in 1953 for lessons useful to other cities and countries. Methods. We reviewed background documents (gray literature, online government information, local policy documents, and regulations) for existing regulations in several urban settings. We also contacted boards of education. Results. Each municipality has a board of education in charge of public schools, which considers the geography, climate, and the transport situation to determine the method of commuting. Because there is high availability of schools in urban areas and most are located within walking range of the children’s homes, walking is the most common method. There are different safety initiatives depending on the district’s characteristics. Parents, school staff, and local volunteers are involved in supervision. Conclusions. The walk-to-school practice has helped combat childhood obesity by providing regular physical activity. Recommendations to cities promoting walking to school are (1) base interventions on the existing network of schools and adapt the provision to other local organizations, (2) establish safety measures, and (3) respond specifically to local characteristics. Besides the well-established safety interventions, the policy’s success may also be associated with Japan’s low crime rate.
Improving Population Health Through Integration of Primary Care and Public Health: Providing Access to Physical Activity for Community Health Center Patients

Published: September 2012

Objectives. Our community health center attempted to meet public health goals for encouraging exercise in adult patients vulnerable to obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and other chronic diseases by partnering with a local YMCA. Methods. During routine office visits, providers referred individual patients to the YMCA at no cost to the patient. After 2 years, the YMCA instituted a $10 per month patient copay for new and previously engaged health center patients. Results. The copay policy change led to discontinuation of participation at the YMCA by 80% of patients. Patients who persisted at the YMCA increased their visits by 50%; however, more men than women became frequent users after institution of the copay. New users after the copay were also more likely to be younger men. Thus the copay skewed the population toward a younger group of men who exercised more frequently. Instituting a fee appeared to discourage more tentative users, specifically women and older patients who may be less physically active. Conclusions. Free access to exercise facilities (rather than self-paid memberships) may be a more appropriate approach for clinicians to begin engaging inexperienced or uncertain patients in regular fitness activities to improve health.

Objectives. We have described national trends for the 5 leading external causes of injury mortality.Methods. We used negative binomial regression and annual underlying cause-of-death data for US residents for 2000 through 2009.Results. Mortality rates for unintentional poisoning, unintentional falls, and suicide increased by 128%, 71%, and 15%, respectively. The unintentional motor vehicle traffic crash mortality rate declined 25%. Suicide ranked first as a cause of injury mortality, followed by motor vehicle traffic crashes, poisoning, falls, and homicide. Females had a lower injury mortality rate than did males. The adjusted fall mortality rate displayed a positive age gradient. Blacks and Hispanics had lower adjusted motor vehicle traffic crash and suicide mortality rates and higher adjusted homicide rates than did Whites, and a lower unadjusted total injury mortality rate.Conclusions. Mortality rates for suicide, poisoning, and falls rose substantially over the past decade. Suicide has surpassed motor vehicle traffic crashes as the leading cause of injury mortality. Comprehensive traffic safety measures have successfully reduced the national motor vehicle traffic crash mortality rate. Similar efforts will be required to diminish the burden of other injury.
Strengthening Public Health and Primary Care Collaboration Through Electronic Health Records
Authors: Calman Neil , Hauser Diane , Lurio Joseph , Wu Winfred Y. , Pichardo Michelle 
Published: September 2012

Electronic health records (EHRs) have great potential to serve as a catalyst for more effective coordination between public health departments and primary care providers (PCP) in maintaining healthy communities. As a system for documenting patient health data, EHRs can be harnessed to improve public health surveillance for communicable and chronic illnesses. EHRs facilitate clinical alerts informed by public health goals that guide primary care physicians in real time in their diagnosis and treatment of patients. As health departments reassess their public health agendas, the use of EHRs to facilitate this agenda in primary care settings should be considered. PCPs and EHR vendors, in turn, will need to configure their EHR systems and practice workflows to align with public health priorities as these agendas include increased involvement of primary care providers in addressing public health concerns.

Published: September 2012

Objectives. We examined health-related quality of life in adults who became physically active at recommended levels over a 10-year period compared with adults with different physical activity patterns. Methods. We examined men and women aged 26 to 70 years (mean [SD] = 47.4 [10.1]) in the Doetinchem Cohort Study 3 times between 1995 and 2009. We distinguished participants who became physically active (n = 618), remained active (n = 1286), remained inactive (n = 727), became physically inactive (n = 535), or with varying activity levels (n = 455) over 10 years. We used multivariable linear regression analyses to determine differences in health-related quality of life (survey similar to the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey) at 10-year follow-up. Results. Adults who became physically active reported better physical functioning, vitality, and general health after 10 years than did persistently inactive adults and adults who became inactive. They also reported less bodily pain and better social functioning than adults who became inactive. No differences were observed with adults who remained active or with varying activity levels. Conclusions. Adopting a physically active lifestyle may result in a better health-related quality of life, comparable to remaining physically active over 10 years.
Teaching Negotiation Skills within an Accounting Curriculum
Authors: Aldhizer George R. 
Published: September 2012

ABSTRACT:
The purpose of this article is to expose accounting faculty to an accounting negotiation course to inspire them to consider teaching such a course. Professional standards recognize the auditor's dual responsibility to detect material misstatements and to ensure their appropriate resolution. However, accounting education has focused primarily on the first responsibility of designing and performing appropriate audit procedures to detect material misstatements, and not on negotiation skills to ensure their proper resolution (Trotman et al. 2005). This article provides a detailed overview of the author's half-semester graduate elective accounting negotiation course that may become a required course in the near future.

La finalité de cet article est d’aborder la question de la multiplicité radicale de la psychologie, qui se présente comme un réseau de savoirs et de pratiques trop diverses et même contradictoires. Pour accomplir cet objectif, sera tout d’abord présenté le débat épistémologique relatif à cette pluralité radicale, en envisageant le rapport de cette discussion avec la question de la scientificité de la psychologie. Par la suite, il s’agira de mettre en scène une autre façon de considérer cette multiplicité radicale : la Théorie de l’Acteur-Réseau de Bruno Latour, Annemarie Mol et John Law et l’épistémologie politique d’Isabelle Stengers et Vicianne Despret qui considèrent les diverses psychologies comme des dispositifs de production ontologique de subjectivités. Afin d’étudier ces dispositifs théoriques, un ensemble de recherches sera présenté pour évaluer l’existence (et les formes) des manières de subjectivation psychologisée parmi des lycéens de la ville de Rio de Janeiro. Finalement, les résultats de cette recherche seront mis en débat en considérant les politiques ontologiques présentées dans les choix méthodologiques de recherche.
Inoculations, processions religieuses et quarantaines
Authors: Martín Santos Guillermo , Thomas Hernán Eduardo 
Published: September 2012

Cet article analyse comment la circulation des connaissances hétérogènes en matière de diagnostic et traitement des varioles entre l’Amérique, l’Europe et l’Afrique a forgé l’ensemble des pratiques implantées, développées et utilisées en Amérique latine au XVIIIe siècle. Il démontre comment les procédés mis en place pour faire face aux épidémies de varioles – l’inoculation, la procession religieuse, l’isolement et la mise en quarantaine – ont été différemment compris par les acteurs sociaux et que ces interprétations dépendaient, à leur tour, du type de problème pour lequel les procédés étaient considérés comme une solution. Les pratiques d’inoculation avec des varioles humaines, dans le but de générer une immunité ultérieure, ont façonné des ensembles complexes d’acteurs aux intérêts particuliers (parfois contradictoires), de connaissances variées (savoirs traditionnels et savoirs académiques), d’institutions politiques, médicales, religieuses, commerciales, de controverses et de luttes micropolitiques.Ce travail contribue à la sociologie de la science et à l’anthropologie des connaissances, tout en empruntant une approche théorique et méthodologique issue de la sociologie constructiviste de la technologie. Il permet de dépasser les visions évolutionnistes linéaires, déconstruisant ainsi l’unicité des procédés socio-techniques, et, en même temps, il rend possible l’identification des nouvelles explications, la reconstruction de procédés socio‑cognitifs pour le dialogue des savoirs et la visibilisation des phénomènes complexes de transculturalité.
Colères et ordo amoris dans les styles rock
Authors: Seca Jean-Marie 
Published: September 2012

Résumé Le but de cet article est d’interpréter le sens socio-anthropologique de l’énergétique et de l’esthétisation de la colère dans le rock. On définira d’abord le rock, au sens large, de façon structurale et par son état d’esprit créatif, puis, la notion d’esthétique de la colère ; la pulsion colérique sera conçue comme un phénomène devant être nécessairement sublimée pour entrer sur la scène sociale. Puis, nous verrons dans quelle mesure cette sublimation de la colère s’articule à une philosophie de l’ordo amoris. Ce qui reconfigurera les fonctions et le sens de la rage dans l’expression et la création rock. Nous aborderons, dans une troisième partie, quelques exemples illustratifs.
Microbial-Induced Th17: Superhero or Supervillain?
Authors: McGeachy Mandy J. , McSorley Stephen J. 
Published: September 2012

Abstract
Th17 cells are an effector lineage of CD4 T cells that can contribute to protection against microbial pathogens and to the development of harmful autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. An increasing number of studies suggests that Th17 cells play an important protective role in mobilizing host immunity to extracellular and intracellular microbial pathogens, such as Candida and Salmonella. Furthermore, the generation of Th17 cells is heavily influenced by the normal microbial flora, highlighting the complex interplay among harmless microbes, pathogens, and host immunity in the regulation of pathogen-specific Th17 responses. In this article, we review the current understanding of microbe-induced Th17 cells in the context of infectious and inflammatory disease.
Only a Small Fraction of High-Grade Cervical Lesions Are Discovered After an Interpretation of Atypical Squamous Cells of Undetermined Significance When Using Imager-Assisted, Liquid-Based Papanicolaou Tests and the Bethesda 2001 System
Authors: Khan Kelly A. , Smith Debora A. , Thrall Michael J. 
Published: September 2012

Context.—Previous work has reported that most high-grade cervical neoplasia is seen in patients with preceding Papanicolaou test results of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance. This information was based on conventional test results and the Bethesda 1991 reporting system and was determined before the current treatment guidelines.Objective.—Our objective was to perform a retrospective review of all histologically confirmed, high-grade cervical neoplasia to determine the diagnosis of the preceding liquid-based Papanicolaou test.Design.—A total of 189 histologically confirmed, high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) cases grade 2 and greater were identified for a 1-year period.Results.—Of the 189 cases, 10 (5.3%) had a previous diagnosis of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance; 55 (29.1%) had low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions; 31 (16.4%) had low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, unable to rule out a high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion; 21 (11.1%) had atypical squamous cells, unable to rule out a high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion; 68 (36%) had high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions; 1 (0.5%) had atypical glandular cells; 1 (0.5%) had adenocarcinoma in situ; and 2 (1%) had invasive carcinoma. Combined “low grade” Papanicolaou test results (atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance and low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion) preceded 51 of 103 cases of CIN 2 (49.5%) and 14 of 103 cases (13.6%) of CIN 3/cancer, whereas “high grade” Papanicolaou test results (atypical squamous cells, unable to rule out a high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion; low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, unable to rule out a high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion; high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions; atypical glandular cells; adenocarcinoma in situ; and invasive carcinoma) preceded 52 of 103 CIN 2 cases (50.5%) and 72 of 103 CIN 3/cancer cases (69.9%).Conclusions.—Our data show that we can now more-reliably predict high-grade dysplasia on routine Papanicolaou tests. Only a small fraction of histologically confirmed CIN 2/3 cases are found following a Papanicolaou test diagnosis of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance.
