The Effects Of Health, Mobility, And Socio-Economic Status Factors On The Race Gap In Achievement, Rebecca Wetzler
Papers and Publications
This quantitative study measures the influence of health, mobility, and socio-economic status on the racial/ ethnic achievement gap. Through information from parent and student surveys, as well as student grades from transcripts, scores from state-administered achievement tests, and district gathered information on whether or not the student was eligible for free/ reduced-price lunch, it analyzes influences on the achievement gap in a suburban school district, and finds significant effects of race/ ethnicity on achievement, socio-economic status, mobility, and one health factor, as well as significant effects of socio-economic status, mobility, and some health measures on achievement.

-
Men seek help and use health services less frequently than women do.
-
Men’s help-seeking practices and health service use are complex issues involving biological, psychological and sociological considerations.
-
Most discussion on men’s help-seeking positions them as reluctant consumers or “behaving badly” with respect to their health.
-
Few studies have explored whether health service providers are equipped to deal with men’s health issues appropriately.
-
The current health system appears not to be tailored to meet the health needs of men.
-
Better collaboration is required across disciplines, to further investigate men’s health using both qualitative and quantitative research methods.

Ethics And Health Technology Assessment: Handmaiden And/Or Critic?, Annette J. Braunack-Mayer
Ethics And Health Technology Assessment: Handmaiden And/Or Critic?, Annette J. Braunack-Mayer
Faculty of Social Sciences - Papers (Archive)
Objectives: This study examines the content and role of ethical analysis in health technology assessment (HTA) and horizon scanning publications. It proposes that ethical analysis in HTA is of at least two different types: an ethics of HTA and an ethics in HTA. Methods: I examine the critical differences between these approaches through the examples of the analysis of genetic screening for breast cancer and home blood glucose testing in diabetes. I then argue that, although both approaches subscribe to similar views concerning HTA and ethics, they use different theoretical and methodological traditions to interpret and explain them. Results and …
