Life Style, Health Status, And Distributive Justice, Robert L. Schwartz Jan 1993

Life Style, Health Status, And Distributive Justice, Robert L. Schwartz

Faculty Scholarship

The newest and most original scapegoat upon which we can place the blame for the high cost of health care are those whose life style choices puts their health or lives at risk. Of course, if our health care cost and access problems are a consequence of unhealthy choices made by autonomous individuals, we are relieved of the obligation of figuring out how to reform our health care delivery system. In that case, the solution to our health care problem is obvious - we merely need to impose appropriate penalties on those who make costly, immoral and unhealthy life style …

American Indians In California: Health Status & Access To Health Care., Unknown Jan 1992

American Indians In California: Health Status & Access To Health Care., Unknown

Native Health Database Full Text

Because the Indian Health Service does not provide direct services in California, data related to patient care information has been limited. In November 1991, the Indian Health Service addressed this deficiency by presenting a report to the U.S. Congress. This monograph addresses key health status and health care utilization measures from the report. This includes the health effects of the arbitrary and changing nature of federal recognition of those tribes that are eligible for health benefits. Secondary data from the State of California was used in the original report; this summary focuses on vital statistics from California birth and death …

Evaluation Of The Pascua Yaqui Health Care Plan As An Analytical Model And Its Merits As An Effective Alternative To The Traditional Ihs Delivery Models, Americans For Indian Opportunity, Er. Kemper Jan 1988

Evaluation Of The Pascua Yaqui Health Care Plan As An Analytical Model And Its Merits As An Effective Alternative To The Traditional Ihs Delivery Models, Americans For Indian Opportunity, Er. Kemper

Native Health Database Full Text

This study is an evaluation of the Pascua Yaqui Health Care Plan (PYHCP) established in 1980. This is a pre-paid health service program that contracts the services of Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO's). This pre-paid contract service differs from the public health care model used by the Indian Health Service (IHS) that emphasizes health promotion and wellness. The prepaid model focuses on cost containment, and was devised as an intermediary step between full IHS responsibility and direct provision of health care, and full tribal responsibility for the provision and management of health care services. This evaluation was intended to answer the …


Parental Investment And Elite Family Structure In Preindustrial States: A Case Study Of Late Medieval-Early Modern Portuguese Genealogies, James L. Boone Dec 1986

Parental Investment And Elite Family Structure In Preindustrial States: A Case Study Of Late Medieval-Early Modern Portuguese Genealogies, James L. Boone

Anthropology Faculty & Staff Publications

In this paper I examine the idea that patriarchal family structure among elites in stratified societies originates as a form of parental investment favoring male children. Patriliny and restricted inheritance among 15th- and 16th-century Portuguese nobility are analyzed as reproductive strategies aimed at maximizing lineage survival and posterity in the face of high mortality. Demographic data derived from genealogies show that among the high nobility, males out reproduce females,whereas among the lower nobility, females outreproduced males, and that the tendency to concentrate investment in male offspring correspondingly increases with status. This family structural arrangement has the societal effect of generating …

Epidemiological Assessment Of The Contributing Factors Of Injury Mortality And Morbidity Among Native Americans, Yale University, School Of Medicine, Department Of Epidemiology & Public Health., Ls. Robertson

Native Health Database Full Text

In 1981, the Indian Health Service (IHS) initiated a program plan for Community Injury Control (CIC). This initiative was a response to the high rate of injury among Native Americans. The programs are the responsibility of the environmental health service officer in each Service Unit of the IHS. The program activities covered areas such as General Safety Training, First Aid Training and CPR, Occupational Safety Training, Motor Vehicle Safety Training, Cultural Identity, and Stress Management. Since this study was conducted too early in the life of the program to assess the long-range impact of community injury control on the injury …
