    An Analysis of Peer Influence and Peer Selection on Human Immunodeficiency Virus Risk Behaviors (2004)

    Notes: Much of the public health literature indicates that peers have a significant effect on risky health behaviors. However, these studies have not considered the role of peer endogeneity (i.e., peer selection). Thus, the purpose of this study is to ascertain the importance of considering peer endogeneity when discussing the consequences of peer behavior on individual behavior, particularly on risky sexual behavior. The results show a nonsignificant association between perceived peer support for condom use and actual individual condom use in this sample of low-income, high-risk individuals. More notably, however, the results point to the importance of considering peer endogeneity in any estimation of peer influence on risky health behaviors.

    Motivating physician behaviour change: social influence versus financial contingencies (1996)

    Notes: The recent development of clinical practice heuristics is a logical consequence of outcomes and effectiveness research. Proponents of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) believe they will lower costs, enhance quality, and reduce the incidence of malpractice claims. Although the process for generating CPGs appears relatively uncomplicated, guidelines alone do not produce lasting changes in physician behaviour. Discusses strategies for implementing CPGs based on the various factors that influence physician behaviour. Recommends direct behaviour management strategy based on financial contingencies.

    An analysis of drug abuse policies in teaching hospitals (1999)
    Springer
    The journal of behavioral health services & research 26 (1999), S. 28-38

    Notes: Abstract The Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 mandated written drug abuse policies for recipients of certain government grants and contracts. The literature has reported costly side effects of employee drug abuse such as decreased productivity and increased use of health benefits. Furthermore, litigation involving drug abuse policies has been increasingly won by employers. More than 90% of Fortune 1000 companies have adopted formal drug abuse policies. Using content analysis techniques, the current study examined the written substance abuse policies of 30 large American teaching hospitals. Results showed substantial variation in the style and content of the policies. In general, language used in the policies was vague. The study cites the potential use of strategic ambiguity in the development of the policies.

    A comparative study of codes of ethics in health care facilities and energy companies (1994)
    Springer
    Journal of business ethics 13 (1994), S. 713-717

    Notes: Abstract Though written corporate codes of ethics have been touted as a panacea for the embarrassments and uncertainties of the past two decades, the absence of clear evaluation procedures severely compromises their usefulness. An ethnographic study comparing development processes and compliance outcomes in large health care facilities and energy companies shows that neither of the two industries has encountered much success with a codes of ethics program. Companies that distribute copies of their code of ethics seldom ensure the process is completed or that employees understand the purpose of the document, and staff responsible for the code give it a low priority relative to their overall responsibilities. Contrary to expectations, health care facilities are no more likely to develop or implement codes of ethics effectively than are energy companies. More extensive research is needed in order to generate the data necessary for the development of realistic standards for the evaluation of codes of ethics.

    Access to HIV Services by the Urban Poor (1999)
    Springer
    Journal of community health 24 (1999), S. 331-346

    Notes: Abstract This paper examines the effect of HIV-health status and HIV-transmission mode on access to HIV-related services among African Americans, Hispanics and White HIV+ individuals. Data were collected from 169 African Americans, 72 Hispanics and 253 White HIV+ individuals seeking 8 social and 6 medical HIV services at 29 public and community-based organizations in Houston, Texas. A total of 42 separate logistic regressions were estimated for each HIV service and for each race/ethnic group. The results showed significant differences in access to HIV social services based on HIV-transmission mode among the three race/ethnic groups, but no significant differences were found in access to medical services based on either HIV status or HIV-transmission mode among the three race/ethnic groups.
