No full textFulda, Kimberly G., A Study of Hepatitis A Seropositivity in Dallas County, 1998 – 1999. Master of Public Health (Epidemiology), May 2001, 39 pp., 4 tables, 9 figures, references, 28 titles. The purpose of this study was to determine incidence rates per 100,000 population of hepatits A (HAV) in Dallas County for 1998 and 1999. Individuals who tested seropositive for hepatitis A between January 1, 1998 and December 31, 1999 were included. The variables of interest were sex, race, age, Zone Improvement Plan (ZIP code), and date of occurrence. Rates for 1998 were 1.9 times higher in Dallas County than the United States. In 1999, the Dallas County rate increased over 1.6 times. Rates were significantly higher in males for both years, and rates were highest among Hispanics and lowest among Blacks. Differences in age distribution varied between years by increasing in ages 50 and older in 1999. Several ZIP codes exceeded rates of 20 per 100,000 for both 1998 and 1999. Dallas County met the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices guidelines for routine vaccination of all children in 1999
Disability, Procreation, and Justice in the United States
No full textParenting and procreation have long been contested legal terrain in the United States as exemplified by a history of abuses against marginalized populations including people with disabilities. While some of the most egregious abuses, such as state sponsored sterilization programs, are relics of the past, it remains true that people with disabilities face distinct and at times insurmountable roadblocks to procreation and parenting. This article details ongoing forms of procreative discrimination against people with disabilities, rejects common justifications for that discrimination, and offers proposals for better protecting the rights to procreate and parent for disabled people.Peer reviewe
Procreative Pluralism
No full textThis article offers a modern approach to evaluating the right to non-coital reproduction that centers on the concept of procreative pluralism. Using lessons taught by reproductive justice scholars and advocates, the article reframes reproductive autonomy and reproductive equality so as to avoid the pitfalls of each and offers a justice account of why constitutional protection of assisted
reproduction is critical.
The article argues that the fundamental right to procreate as protected by the Constitution includes a fundamental right to use assisted reproduction. Unlike other scholarship, the article rejects the basis of this right as liberty/autonomy or equality standing alone and posits that a justice framework is best for protecting and balancing the procreative interests at play when people use assisted reproduction. Given the fundamental rights argument, the article argues that justice requires extensive protection of the right to procreate and exacting scrutiny of legislative attempts to interfere with that right. It goes beyond other scholars who have made this claim by also determining that the state may have positive obligations to provide some people with access to assisted reproduction services. To reconcile the importance of the procreative right with the compelling nature of state interests in procreation, the article offers a two-tiered system of constitutional review of the fundamental right to noncoital procreation in which those who wish to procreate and parent receive greater protection than those who wish to procreate for profit. Finally, the article articulates principles for regulation based on the structure of a two-tiered right and offers ideas for how to reconcile the fundamental rights analysis with legitimate justice concerns about potential harms to individuals and society fromthe use of assisted reproduction

Unmet Health Care Needs Stratified by Socioeconomic Status: Results of the National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs
No full textFulda, Kimberly G., Unmet Health Care Needs Stratified by Socioeconomic Status: Results of the National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs. Doctor of Public Health (Clinical Research), December 2006, 200 pp., 15 tables, 4 figures, references, 73 titles. The purpose of this research study was to identify factors that affect unmet health care needs for children with special health care needs (CSHCN) and to identify how these factors vary by socioeconomic status. Data were obtained from an already existing publicly available database from the National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs, 2000-2002, available through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Approximately 750 CSHCN from each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia were included. Survey data represented parent responses on health care and health care needs for CSHCN. Responses for 38,866 CSHCN up to 17 years of age were included in the analysis. Four hypotheses were tested: having received all needed routine, preventive care; having received all needed care from a specialist; having received all needed mental health care or counseling; and having received comprehensive, coordinated care in a medical home. Within each of the four hypotheses, four models were presented for socioeconomic status (SES): [less than] 133% of the federal poverty level (FPL); 133-199% of the FPL, 200-299$ of the FPL, and ≥ 300% of the FPL. Age, severity of the CSHCN’s condition, sex, race, ethnicity, maternal education, insurance status / type, geographical region of the household, relationship of the respondent to the CSHCN, the total number of adults in the household, and the total number of kids in the household were all significant predictors of having received all needed care in at least one SES stratum for the four hypotheses. Analyses revealed there are disparities among SES strata for unmet health care needs for CSHCN
Kimberly Blaeser Reading
No full textThe current poet laureate for Wisconsin returned to the College of Saint Benedict for a reading and residency Nov. 15-18.
Kimberly Blaeser, a 1977 graduate of CSB, held a reading free and open to the public at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 15, in the Teresa Reception Center Boardroom, Main Building, CSB.
Blaeser works as a professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where she teaches creative writing, Native American literature and American nature writing. She hails from Anishinaabe ancestry and is a native of the White Earth Reservation in northwestern Minnesota.
She is the author of three collections of poetry: Apprenticed to Justice (2007), Absentee Indians and Other Poems (2002) and Trailing You (1994). Blaeser has also edited two other books on Anishinaabe and Ojibwe poetry.
Her current creative project features Picto-Poems, and brings Blaeser\u27s poetry together with her wildlife photography to explore intersecting ideas about Native place, nature, preservation and spiritual sustenance.
Blaeser\u27s poetry dwells deeply on a complex, natural world - which includes the power of human imagination. These poems are small sure lights in the darkness - poems to lead us home, said poet and musician Joy Harjo of Absentee Indians and Other Poems.
Blaeser sees her position as poet laureate of Wisconsin as a gift that needs to be shared to the public.
Sometime in the history of this country, poetry got a bad rap, she said. Those who love poetry, but especially those who read or pen poetry in private, need permission and encouragement to be the shining poetry nerds they may long to be!
She will be residency from Nov. 15-18, visiting classes and working with students from CSB and Saint John\u27s University.
Both events are presented in collaboration with the CSB Literary Arts Institute (LAI) and the Fine Arts Series at CSB and SJU
