The David W. Fentress Family Letters, 1856-1969
Transcript of a letter by an unidentified author to David Fentress regarding sharing federal newspapers and the banning of federal newspapers in some areas. The author passes on the news of the war including the destruction of the Federal merchantmen by the Confederate fleet. He passes along world news: Russia preparing to go to War with Europe and how that could negatively affect the Confederacy. There is also speculation on the future of the war

Current state of psychosocial epidemiology: Where are we? What are the next steps?
The ultimate aim of epidemiological science is to improve population health by generating information that facilitates evidence-based guidelines and policies. As outlined in the chapters of this textbook, epidemiological research has already linked a number of psychosocial factors to health outcomes, including social networks, job stress, emotions, religious service attendance and personality types. Although researchers have explored the nature of the observed associations by assessing temporal relationships, the strength of the risk factor–disease link, biological plausibility and modifiability, crucially, for most psychosocial risk factors, causality remains elusive and their value as targets for disease prevention remains unclear. In this chapter, we identify opportunities to improve progress in this field. Three suggestions are made: large-scale collaborative research (‘big data’), precision phenotyping and interventional approaches
Psychosocial epidemiology: key concepts and methods
In this introductory chapter of The Routledge International Handbook of Psychosocial Epidemiology, we describe the concepts and methods used in the study of psychosocial factors, health and disease, including study designs to obtain robust information and minimise bias. In addition, we discuss the various strategies as well as the challenges of translating evidence into population health improvement. As living standards have improved, absolute deprivation in the material sense (e.g. lacking food and shelter for survival) has receded, at least in high-income countries. Regulatory standards also protect populations from the threat of pollution, contaminated food, and workplace physical hazards. In western societies, risk and protective factors for health are therefore becoming increasingly psychosocial in nature rather than physical. It is within this milieu that psychosocial epidemiology, a discipline linking psychological, social and medical sciences, has flourished. Opportunities for such research are now better than ever before. Assessment of psychosocial factors, such as social relations, life stresses and mood, has become easier with the development of digital survey technology and improved availability of information on social environments, both of which can be linked to individual medical records. The advent of electronic health records and wearable devices provides researchers with a practical way to monitor a person’s health over time and to identify those who are at risk of developing chronic conditions. We contend that psychosocial epidemiology is a growing scientific discipline, both in terms of discovery (i.e. as a study of disease causation and mechanisms) and delivery (as a study of cost-effective interventions)
