Abstract This paper examines the relationship between minimum high school dropout age and juvenile arrest rates by exploiting state-level variation in laws. County-level data for period 1980 to 2008 difference-in-difference-in-difference-type empirical strategy are used compare over time of various groups within counties that differ their state's age. The evidence suggests requirements have a significant negative effect on property violent crime individuals 16 18 years old. results...

We estimated the association between legalizing medical marijuana and suicides.We obtained state-level suicide data from National Vital Statistics System's Mortality Detail Files for 1990-2007. used regression analysis to examine legalization suicides per 100 000 population.After adjustment economic conditions, state policies, state-specific linear time trends, was not statistically significant at .05 level. However, associated with a 10.8% (95% confidence interval [CI] = -17.1%, -3.7%) 9.4%...
sleep assessment ranged from asking many questions to not any.We believe that the higher reporting RA was a result of separate for each practice, and if any unsafe behavior "ever" practiced.In contrast, most pediatricians do ask practiced "ever," but rather about current and/or typical behavior, example, "Where does baby sleep?"The small sample size did allow us examine disclosure rates based on race RA, HE, or pediatrician.Given persistent disparity infant sleep-related deaths among African...
School districts use a variety of policies to close budget gaps and stave off teacher layoffs furloughs. More schools are implementing four-day school weeks reduce overhead transportation costs. The week requires substantial schedule changes as must increase the length their day meet minimum instructional hour requirements. Although some have indicated this policy eases financial pressures, it is unknown whether there an impact on student outcomes. We school-level data from Colorado...
Exploiting variation across states and municipalities in the timing details of midwifery laws introduced during period 1900–1940 using data assembled from various primary sources, we find that requiring midwives to be licensed reduced maternal mortality by 7%–8% may have led modest reductions infant mortality. These estimates represent strongest evidence date licensing restrictions can improve health consumers are directly relevant ongoing policy debates on merits midwives.
Using data on 25 major American cities for the period 1900–1940, we explore effects of municipal-level public health efforts that were viewed as critical in fight against foodborne and waterborne diseases. In addition to studying interventions such treating sewage setting bacteriological standards milk, which have received little attention, provide new evidence water filtration chlorination, extending work previous scholars. Although is associated with an 11–12 percent reduction infant...
Thirty-six states have legalized medical marijuana and 18 the use of for recreational purposes. In this paper, we review literature on public health consequences legalizing marijuana, focusing studies that appeared in economics journals as well leading policy, health, journals. Among outcomes considered are: youth use, alcohol consumption, abuse prescription opioids, traffic fatalities, crime. For some these outcomes, there is a near consensus regarding effects laws (MMLs). As an example,...
PURPOSE Patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer (BRPC) after radical prostatectomy and a short PSA doubling time are at risk for distant metastases. Apalutamide, an androgen receptor antagonist, abiraterone acetate plus prednisone (AAP) prolong survival in the metastatic setting. We evaluated whether intensification of androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) improves outcomes BRPC. PATIENTS AND METHODS PRESTO is randomized phase III, open-label trial patients BRPC ≤9 months...
4004 Background: RAM, an anti-VEGFR2 monoclonal antibody, improved overall survival (OS) in 2 phase 3 trials patients (pts) with previously treated gastric/gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) AC. We report the first assessment of RAM as 1st-line Rx for GE-AC. Methods: Pts untreated metastatic or locally advanced unresectable GE-AC (PS ≤1) were randomized 1:1 to mFOLFOX6 plus (8 mg/kg IV) v placebo (PL), q14d. Primary endpoint was progression-free (PFS), 80% power detect HR 0.71 (α =.3)....
While the contemporaneous association between mental health problems and criminal behavior has been explored in literature, long‐term consequences of such problems, depression particular, have received much less attention. Using data from National Longitudinal Study Adolescent Health (Add Health), we examine effect during adolescence on probability engaging a number behaviors later life. In our analysis, control for rich set individual‐, family‐, neighborhood‐level factors to account...
This cross-sectional study assesses the association between US state legalization of medical and recreational marijuana use by adolescents.
The US tuberculosis (TB) movement pioneered many of the strategies modern public health campaigns. Using newly transcribed mortality data at municipal level for period 1900–1917, we explore effectiveness measures championed by TB movement, including establishment sanatoriums and open-air camps, prohibitions on spitting common cups, requirements that local officials be notified about cases. Our results suggest these other anti-TB can explain, most, only a small portion overall decline in...

Drawing on county‐level data from Kansas for the period 1977–2011, we examine whether plausibly exogenous increases in number of establishments licensed to sell alcohol by drink are related violent crime. During this period, 86 out 105 counties voted legalise sale general public on‐premises consumption. Using legalisation as an instrument, show that a 10% increase drinking is associated with 3–5% The estimated relationship between and property crime also positive, although smaller magnitude.
Despite public interest in keeping guns out of schools, little is known about the effects gun control on youths' carrying or school violence.
