The article "Ethnic/racial homogeneity and sexually-transmitted disease: A study of 77 Chicago community areas" by Kaplan (et al. 2009) examined the association between STDs, race, and poverty in America. Americans of color have historically manifested higher rates of STDs. To shed further light upon this phenomenon, the researchers studied 77 enclosed neighborhoods in Chicago. The findings were that communities that were majority African-American (60% or more of residents) had higher rates of chlamydia and gonorrhea than communities that were majority Hispanic, even when other influential socio-demographic variables were controlled. Overall, regardless of the ethnic composition, higher rates of the STDs were manifested in communities where persons were more likely to be poor, unemployed, less educated (lower rates of possessing a high school degree) and were younger. The researchers suggested...
(2013). Statistical modeling of social risk factors for sexually transmitted diseases among female youths in Nigeria. J Infect Dev Ctries, 7(1):017-027.
The research article "Statistical modeling of social risk factors for sexually transmitted diseases among female youths in Nigeria" by Adebowale (2013) was designed to determine the risk factors associated with contracting STDs amongst female youths in Nigeria. Nigeria, like many African nations, has been particularly hard-hit by the AIDS crisis. To sample a sufficiently large population, the study used the Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey, 2008 for data. It found that for women ages 20-24 had contracted STDs in greater number than ages 15-19 and the most significant factors associated with STDs were poverty (wealth index) and a lack of awareness of AIDS/HIV. Chi-square and logistic regression models were used. This suggested that targeting impoverished populations in public health campaigns, offering free condoms and focusing on education campaigns regarding condom use and abstinence were vital components in reducing the risk of young women contracting STDs in Nigeria.

point out that between 2004 and 2009, Congress approved performance-based pay scales for the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense. (Perry, 2009) This shift came after Congress had previously abandoned such systems that operated from 1984 to 1991 as being ultimately ineffective. (Perry, 2009) as Perry goes on to point out, the link between pay incentive and the manifestation of desired behaviors is extremely convoluted. On
M*a*S*H The TV series M*A*S*H holds a special place in the history of American popular culture.

This article shows that scientific advances have allowed researchers to significantly modify the physical appearance of offspring through intervention and modification of the genes of the parents. Instead of what is "in" your genes, Pochran (2011) studies modifications which are "on" the genes. She makes this distinction by
Local Administration and Finance Policy ProposalThe Corona Virus pandemic resulted in an economic recession that caused the U.S. real gross domestic product (GDP) to decline by 3.5%. This led to the loss of employment for more than 20 million workers, initially prompting the federal government to initiate interventions that would cushion county, district, and local governments (OECD, 2022). Initially, the intervention adopted was a domestic cash-transfer program involving a $1200
