Overall Life Satisfaction

A secondary analysis of a national sample of American adults is used to examine the correlation between membership in voluntary associations and life satisfaction. It is hypothesized that the influence of membership on overall life satisfaction is indirect: Membership influences organizational satisfaction; in turn, organizational satisfaction influences satisfaction with life as a whole. The findings suggest that the hypothesized pattern of relationships is not ubiquitously present for all four of the older age categories studied. Such differences suggest the critical importance of utilizing age-appropriate rather than generic indicators when studying these issues.

Medication Experience

Team-based, Patient-Centered Care is essential to chronic disease prevention and management but there are differing ideas about the concept’s meaning across healthcare populations, settings and professions. This commentary’s objective is to empirically evaluate the theoretical relationships of the [a] Medication Experience, [b] Patient-Centeredness and other relevant component concepts from pharmaceutical care (i.e., [c] Therapeutic Relationship, [d] Patient-specific preferences for achieving goals of therapy and resolving drug therapy problems) so as to provide practice-based insights. This is achieved using a secondary analysis of 213 excerpts generated from in-depth semi-structured interviews with a national sample of pharmacists and patients about Patient-Centeredness in pharmacist practice. The four component concepts (i.e., a–d) related to the objective were examined and interpreted using a novel 3-archetype heuristic (i.e., Partner, Client and Customer) revealing common practice-based themes related to care preferences and expectations in collaborative goal setting, enduring relationships, value co-creation and evolving patient expectations during challenging medical circumstances. Most practice-based insights were generated within the Partner archetype, likely reflecting high congruence with pharmacist and patient responses related to the Medication Experience and Therapeutic Relationship. The practice-based insights may be especially useful for new practitioners and students accelerating their advancement in providing effective and efficient Patient-Centered Care.

Government Statistics

The quality of metadata is a crucial determinant of usability/interpretability of data. This paper draws attention to the poor quality of India’s government statistics and the paucity of metadata necessary to understand the problems. The paper suggests that there has been a decline in India both in terms of the availability and quality of metadata for key government sources of information including maps, decennial population censuses and National Sample Surveys amidst growing sophistication in the understanding of metadata. The poor quality of metadata impairs cross-sectional as well as inter-temporal comparisons and policymaking apart from concealing biases and lapses of government statisticians. The paper draws on the experience of three states – erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir, Manipur and Nagaland – where government statistics have been affected by serious errors that are not well-understood due to the lack of adequate metadata.

Many studies find that when made to feel uncertain, participants respond by affirming importantly held beliefs. However, while theories argue that these effects should persist over time for highly disruptive experiences, almost no research has been performed outside the lab. We conducted a secondary analysis of data from a national sample of U.S. adults ( N = 1,613) who were followed longitudinally for 3 years. Participants reported lifetime and recent adversities experienced annually, as well as their opinions on a number of questions related to intergroup hostility and aggression toward out-groups, similar to those used in many lab studies of uncertainty. We anticipated that those who had experienced adversity would show more extreme support for their position. There was a positive relationship between adversity and the tendency to strongly affirm and polarize their positions. Results suggest that adverse life events may lead to long-lasting changes in one’s tendency to polarize one’s political attitudes.

Introduction: The Hispanic population is among the most rapid growing populations in the United States. Continued research is needed regarding factors associated with substance abuse and Hispanic individuals. The present study examined psychosocial correlates to lifetime hallucinogen use among a national sample of Hispanic adults. Method: A secondary analysis of the 2017 National Survey on Drug Use and Health was conducted. Questions assessing previous lifetime substance use, psychosocial factors, and demographics were completed by 2,866 Hispanic adults. Weighted logistic regression analyses were used to identify significant predictors of lifetime hallucinogen use. Results: Results indicated that greater than one in seven (15.1%) of Hispanic adults reported having ever used hallucinogens (lifetime use). Findings from the final multivariate regression revealed that those most likely to report lifetime hallucinogen use were male, used alcohol, marijuana, cigars, cigarettes, inhalants, and cocaine before the age of 21, and binge drank in the past 30 days. Discussion: Culturally competent prevention strategies aimed at addressing hallucinogen use among Hispanics are needed. Further research studies examining psychosocial reasons explaining the high prevalence of hallucinogen use among this population are warranted.

Smoking And Health

Our objective was to assess the association between cigarette smoking and tobacco use screening and advising to quit use by a clinician among adolescents nationwide. We also examined the relationships between smoking and health-related indicators and health care utilization. A secondary analysis of the 2017 National Survey on Drug Use and Health was conducted (N = 11 884). Ever smokers were less likely to be screened for tobacco use. Current smokers and those who were nicotine dependent were more likely to have been advised to quit use. Ever and current smokers were significantly more likely to report good/fair/poor health status, illness-related school absenteeism in the past 30 days, and were more likely to have had an emergency department visit or an overnight hospital stay. Standardized tobacco control efforts are needed in health care settings to support clinicians to screen all adolescents for tobacco use and advise every smoker irrespective of smoking frequency to quit use.

Over the past two decades the enumerators' books of the nineteenth-century censuses have rightly become one of the major sources for the study of nineteenth-century social structure. Containing as they do, for the whole population of Great Britain, information on name, residence, marital status, relationship to household head, sex, age, occupation, birthplace and infirmity of sight or hearing, they have made possible a wide range of studies of, for example, patterns of residence, household composition, occupational structure, migration, age of marriage, patterns of education and farm labour utilization. Linked to other sources or bodies of material they have been used in studies of class consciousness, voting, voluntary association membership, property ownership and development, farming, poverty, the employment of married women and servant keeping, to name but a few.

The Relationship

Parenting behaviors have profound influence on typically developing adolescents’ health trajectories. Further research is warranted on the relationship between specific parenting behaviors and illicit substance use. The present study sought to examine past-year parenting behaviors and past-year tranquilizer use among a national sample of adolescents. A secondary analysis of 13,722 adolescents who participated in the 2017 National Survey on Drug Use and Health was conducted. Weighted univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify relationships of parenting behaviors and past-year tranquilizer use. A total of 4.65% (n = 635) of adolescents reported past-year tranquilizer use. Significant predictors included age (14-15 years old OR: 1.91, p <.001; 16-years old OR: 3.39, p <.001), sex (Female, OR:1.28, p <.01), race (African-American, OR: 0.58, p <.001; Asian, OR: 0.32, p <.001), health status (Good/Fair/Poor, OR: 1.85, p <.001), not setting limits on television (OR: 1.24, p < .05), not telling your child that they are doing a good job (OR: 1.57, p <.01), and not making them do chores (OR: 1.41, p <.05). Recommendations (e.g., focus groups) for health professionals are included.
