  • Human/E Health and Health Care Symposium
    Human/e Health and Health Care Symposium How do we define health in appropriately “human” terms? How do we deliver health care in a more humane manner? How can we create a world that is more conducive to human health? Biomedical and clinical approaches alone seem insufficient to address these questions and others about caring for the health of the “whole person,” and whole communities, in a complex world. The Human/e Health and Health Care (HHH) Symposium at Creighton University is a place to discuss such issues in a setting that encourages dialogues across boundaries.

  • Dissertation Suicide Mortality, Economics And
    DISSERTATION SUICIDE MORTALITY, ECONOMICS AND SUBGROUP SEGREGATION Submitted by Thomas Briggs Department of Economics In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2020 Doctoral Committee Advisor: Anita Alves Pena Co-advisor: Alexandra Bernasek Sammy Zahran Silvia Canetto Copyright by Thomas Briggs 2020 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT SUICIDE MORTALITY, ECONOMICS AND SUBGROUP SEGREGATION In the United States, suicide is typically theorized as an individual act, and as symptom of a mental disorder. However, evidence shows that those who die of suicide (e.g., by sex, race) varies depending on cultural, social and economic factors. Research on the contexts of suicide has been marked by several limitations, including a tendency to analyze social and economic factors separately, and also a disregard for the combined role of sex and ethnicity in the relationship between social and economic factors and suicide. This study compares current statistics with past research and offers a different methodology in the estimation and model construction of the socioeconomic determinants of suicide. By examining the association between social and economic indicators and suicide among African1 descent men and women, as compared to European descent men and women in the United States, this study isolates the impact of business cycle fluctuations (as indicated by the unemployment rate) on socioeconomic flows in marital, educational and age groups. The first chapter compares previous research on suicide mortality conducted in Ruhm, (2000) over business cycles by exploiting socioeconomic data from 2005-2012. Using detailed suicide mortality data, I observe that previous trends in state level suicide determination via the unemployment rate, hold over this time period.
