The other side of the coin: An integrative review connecting pay and health.

The organizational sciences have long been interested in the effects of various compensation strategies, and on enhancing employee health. Research examining the connection between pay and health, however, remains a relative rarity. The work that has been done is scattered across disparate disciplines and lacks a unified framework for systematically exploring the effects of pay on health.

Pay practices and safety organizing: Evidence from hospital nursing units.

Background: Our understanding of how highly reliable care delivery is brought about remains elusive, in part, because there is limited evidence regarding the organizational practices that enable safety organizing-the behaviors and processes underlying high reliability.

Purpose: Because safety organizing relies on discretionary effort and lowering barriers to sharing expertise and discussing threats to safety and errors, we investigate three pay practices and their effects on information sharing and, in turn, safety organizing. Specifically, we examine average pay level, minimum pay rates, and pay dispersion on nursing units and their relationship with information sharing and safety organizing.

The effects of the question "What is this?" on tact-training outcomes of children with autism.

Tact training is a common element of many habilitative programs for individuals with developmental disabilities. A commonly recommended practice is to include a supplemental question (e.g.

Changes in the distribution of HIV type 1 subtypes D and A in Rakai District, Uganda between 1994 and 2002.

HIV-1 subtype D (HIV-1D) progresses to disease faster and has lower transmissibility than subtype A (HIV-1A). We examined whether these differences could lead to a population level change in the distribution of these subtypes over time. HIV-1 viral RNA was extracted from stored serum samples from HIV-positive subjects participating in a population-based cohort study in Rakai, Uganda in 1994 and 2002.
