Principal Investigator: Assessing and Mapping VA Quality of Care by Gender Project
This project will: 1) describe and map regional and local gender differences in CVD and DM care in
California and Texas using selected quality performance data (HEDIS scores) for VA patients and 2)
examine whether and how gender differences vary geographically and with demographic and
organizational factors such as age, VA facility characteristics, and neighborhood-level income. By
combining conventional analysis with spatial mapping techniques, the project will provide actionable
information on the differences in care locally, variations in differences within and across the two states,
and systematic patterns in care, as well as highlight geographic hotspots with lower and higher care
quality and gender gaps in care.

Principal Investigator (along with Sue Hosek): Combat Capability and the Physiology of Military
Service
The objective of this project is to bring leading-edge research to the forefront of the Office of the
Secretary of Defense’s review of gender-neutral physical standards for military occupations. The major
tasks for this project are: (1) identify the issues and experts in setting gender-neutral standards for
physically demanding jobs in the military, (2) review the literature and interview experts as needed to
supplement the literature review, (3) develop a framework for physical standard setting and
implementation, monitoring subsequent job performance and injury rates, and updating the standards as
needed to address problems and incorporate new research.
Funding: $675,000 (Total Direct) DoD, Office of the Secretary of Defense, 2011-2013
Principal Investigator (along with Chaitra Hardison): Setting Physiological Requirements for Military
Occupations
The objective of this project is to develop a methodology for determining the physiological requirements
for physically demanding military occupations and review the methodologies being used by the military
services to set gender-neutral standards for selected occupations. The major tasks for this project are to:
(1) determine scientifically sound methods for setting gender-neutral, occupation-specific physical
standards personnel, (2) design an evaluation of service methodologies for setting gender-neutral,
occupation-specific physical standards, (3) conduct the evaluation, and (4) recommend future steps to
ensure the services methodologies for standard setting and implementation are appropriate and consistent.
Funding: $1,800,000 (Total Direct) DoD, Office of the Secretary of Defense, 2011-2013
Principal Investigator: Assessing Biological Pathways: Linking Neighborhoods to Cardiovascular
Mortality
Using geocoded mortality linked NHANES data, the study aim are to: (1) Assess the relationship between
selected characteristics of the neighborhood environment (i.e., neighborhood socioeconomic status
(NSES), population density, and residential stability) and acquired biological risk factors for CVD, and
examine whether these relationships differ by gender, controlling for key individual-level health behavior
and sociodemographic characteristics. (2) Assess the relationship between acquired biological risk factors
for CVD and subsequent CVD mortality, and examine whether they differ by gender, controlling for key
individual-level health behavior and sociodemographic characteristics’; and (3) Assess the role of
acquired biological risk factors for CVD as mediating pathways between the selected characteristics of
the neighborhood environment and CVD mortality, and examine how their role may differ by gender,
controlling for key individual-level health behavior and sociodemographic characteristics.

The study will: 1) describe and map regional and local gender differences in cardiovascular disease

national health plan and 2) examine whether and how gender differences vary geographically and with
demographic and organizational factors such as age, insurance type, availability of specialty medical
facilities, and neighborhood-level income. By combining conventional analysis with spatial mapping
techniques, the project will provide actionable information on the differences in care locally, variations in
differences across the state, and systematic patterns in care, as well as highlight geographic hotspots of
lower quality care and disparities in care.

Principal Investigator: Women, Neighborhoods and Coronary Heart Disease: A Prospective Study
The overarching objective of the proposed project is to examine the impact of neighborhood factors on
women’s development of CHD. We aim to identify aspects of the built environment that can be modified
through urban planning or public policy and are associated with health benefits. The project brings
together two unique resources: individual-level data from the Observational Study (OS) and Clinical Trial
(CT) arms of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI), a prospective study of 161,809 women ages 50 to 79
at entry, and geocoded, census-tract level contextual data on the sociodemographic and built environment
where study subjects reside derived by the RAND Center for Population Health and Health Disparities

The study explores how neighborhood context affects and interacts with individual behavior and biology
to determine health and disease. Using NHANES data merged with Census data and commercially
obtained census-level characteristics, and measures developed in the RAND Population Center’s data
core, this study examines the impact of many of the neighborhood characteristics considered most
important in structuring individual lives on both physiological parameters (i.e. biomarkers of allostatic
load) and health outcomes.

Principal Investigator: Gender Matters and Health: The Role of Choice and Policy
The major goals of this project are to review and synthesize the biomedical and social science literature
on gender differences in health; examine how constrained choices and social policies shape gender
differences in health; and explore whether and how social contexts (including work, family, and
community) and policies can be altered to reduce gender differences in health and improve individual and
population health.

Principal Investigator: Gender and HIV Consequences: Health Care and Risk
The study links follow-up data from a study of HIV risk behavior and from a study of provider and clinic
characteristics with 3 waves of HCSUS interviews to explore how HIV infected women and men differ in
health care utilization and to examine whether this is related to their risk behavior. The study assesses
gender differences in use of HAART and other utilization, using factors identified in Andersen’s
Behavioral Model of Health Care Utilization, assesses the relationship between sexual risk behavior and
utilization; and examines whether the organization of care (provider and practice setting characteristics),
patient knowledge of risk behaviors, utilization of antiretroviral treatment, barriers to care, or violence
victimization explain gender differences in sexual risk behavior.

Principal Investigator: Gender Differences in Health Care at the End of Life
This study uses the 1993 National Mortality Follow-back Study: (1) to describe gender differences in endof-life care including length of time in a hospital in the last year of life, length of time residing in a
nursing home in the last year of life, and site of death; (2) to assess factors associated with the type and
amount of health service use for men and women in the last year of life, use of hospice care, and of site of
death; (3) to determine whether gender differences in health service utilization and site of death vary by
socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity, marital status, characteristics of other family ties, and the
availability of a family member as a caregiver.

Principal Investigator: Alternative Career Paths in Radiology: Intended and Unintended Consequences
of Part-Time Work
This study examines the consequences of part-time work and other alternative career paths for
radiologists. An increasing number of young physicians, particularly women, are seeking alternative
career paths including one or more periods of part-time work early in their careers. Despite substantial
research on physicians’ incomes, hours worked and practice arrangements, little information on part-time
employment within medicine is available with which to assess its consequences for the physicians, their
families, or the establishments where the work. This study will assess: (1) the career paths of
radiologists; (2): differential experiences with early and mid-career part-time work; (3) the intended and
unintended consequences of part-time work for individuals’ careers and for their well-being; (4) the
consequences of part-time work arrangements for radiologists’ families; (5) the human resource practices
that lead to successful part-time work arrangements for radiologists.

Principal Investigator: Women’s Mental Health: Impact of Work and Family
This study examines the longitudinal effects of employment, housework, and the division of both on
depression and self-rated health for married couples. The data are from the National Survey of Family
Households (NSFH), a two-wave longitudinal survey of a national, representative sample of U. S.
households. The project will examine possible intervening factors (e.g., perceived role quality and
perceived fairness of the division of paid and unpaid work), and explore the extent to which gender
differences in the effects of social roles and the division of paid and unpaid work on depression and selfrated health vary across racial and ethnic groups (i.e., whites, blacks, and Hispanics). The long-term
objective is to identify social determinants of men’s and women’s depression and self-rated health, and
thereby advance the understanding of the social origins of depression and of gender differences in
depression and self-rated health.

Principal Investigator: Mental & Physical Health Impact of Paid and Unpaid Work
This study examines the influence of employment, housework, and the division of unpaid work within the
household on men’s and women’s depression and health status, controlling for prior health status. The
data are from the National Survey of Functional Health, a two-wave longitudinal survey of a national,
representative sample of U. S. households. The project will examine intervening factors (e.g., perceived
control) that might account for the effects of employment, housework, and the division of labor on
depression and health-related quality of life. The long-term objective of this project is to identify social
determinants of men’s and women’s depression and its impact on health-related quality of life.

Principal Investigator: Women’s Representation as Subjects in Published Medical Research
This study examines the gender composition of study samples for original articles published in JAMA
and New England Journal. The proposed work will examine trends in women’s representation in medical
research, and the underlying values and assumptions that have contributed to the level of women’s
representation. The specific aims are to: (1) determine whether there is evidence of lower representation
of women in clinical studies, particularly for diseases which can affect both genders, (2) determine the
factors related to the exclusion, or underrepresentation, of women in studies of non-gender specific
diseases, (3) examine whether women’s representation has changed in the past 15 years, and (4) among
clinical studies which have representation of both genders and racial/ethnic subgroups, to determine what
evidence there is that subgroup analyses were performed.
