Summary
In 1917, President Woodrow Wilson’s case for entering World War I (then known as the Great War) relied heavily on allegations that Germany was flouting international law by using U-boats to sink merchant and passenger ships traveling between the United States and the Allied nations, primarily Great Britain and France. Two and a half years after the war began, Wilson asserted that it was time to put neutrality aside.

Objective:
There is limited understanding of the cognitive profiles of Spanish-speaking children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The current study investigated the cognitive cluster profiles of Puerto Rican Spanish-speaking children with ADHD using the Wechsler Intelligence Scales for Children-Fourth Edition Spanish (WISC-IV Spanish) Index scores and examined the association between cognitive cluster profiles with other potentially relevant factors.
Method:Hierarchical cluster analysis was used to identify WISC-IV clusters in a sample of 165 Puerto Rican children who had a primary diagnosis of ADHD. To examine the validity of the ADHD clusters, analysis of variances and chi-square analyses were conducted to compare the clusters across sociodemographics (e.g., age and education), type of ADHD diagnosis (ADHD subtype, Learning Disorder comorbidity), and academic achievement.
Results:Clusters were differentiated by level and pattern of performance. A five-cluster solution was identified as optimal that included (C1) multiple cognitive deficits, (C2) processing speed deficits, (C3) generally average performance, (C4) perceptual reasoning strengths, and (C5) working memory deficits. Among the five clusters, the profile with multiple cognitive deficits was characterized by poorer performance on the four WISC-IV Spanish Indexes and was associated with adverse sociodemographic characteristics.
Conclusions:Results illustrate that there is substantial heterogeneity in cognitive abilities of Puerto Rican Spanish-speaking children with ADHD, and this heterogeneity is associated with a number of relevant outcomes.

This essay investigates how the repressive wartime political and social environment in World War I encouraged three key American social justice movements to devise new tactics and strategies to advance their respective causes. For the African American civil rights, female suffrage, and civil liberties movements, the First World War unintentionally provided fresh opportunities for movement building, a process that included recruiting members, refining ideological messaging, devising innovative media strategies, negotiating with the government, and participating in nonviolent street demonstrations. World War I thus represented an important moment in the histories of all three movements. The constructive, rather than destructive, impact of the war on social justice movements proved significant in the short term (for the suffragist movement) and the long term (for the civil rights and civil liberties movements). Ultimately, considering these three movements collectively offers new insights into American war culture and the history of social movements.

Objective
We aimed to assess student knowledge of Ebola virus disease (EVD) and opinions about media coverage of EVD.
MethodsWe conducted a pilot study with a cross-sectional survey and a convenience sample.
ResultsSixty-five college students participated in the survey and reported a low level of basic knowledge of EVD, high health literacy levels, and Internet and health professionals as sources for health information.
ConclusionThis pilot study was an important first step to understanding students’ knowledge of Ebola, common sources of health information, and health literacy levels. Results from this study highlight the need to improve health communication training and further evaluate the quality of health information dissemination via all communication sources.

Summary
Introduction: race and ethnicity and population ageing
The race and ethnic composition of the older population in the United States (US) is expected to change in the coming decades. The older population is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse as the overall race and minority ethnic population grows (Administration on Aging, 2010). Furthermore, minority populations aged 65 and older are expected to increase from 8.0 million in 2010 (20.1% of the older population) to 12.9 million in 2020 (23.6%) (Administration on Aging, 2010). These trends have important implications for the racial/ ethnic composition of America's ageing population and for how we think about inequality over the lifecourse. The goal of this chapter is to trace the significance of race/ethnicity for the population ageing. Specifically, using the available demographic data, we focus on the diversity of the older population itself as well as on the diversity of younger cohorts in view of future workforce and implications for health/long-term care in the ageing American society.
This chapter describes the significance of race and ethnicity – mainly by focusing on non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black and Hispanic peoples in the US – for population ageing in the US (that is, an increase in the numbers or proportions of older people at the societal level), which results from a combination of three main demographic factors: fertility, mortality and migration1 (Weeks, 2008). In this chapter, we trace the pathways that link race and ethnicity to population ageing, with an emphasis on social inequality and health in American society (Link and Phelan, 1995; Kawachi and Kennedy, 1997). We adopt a relatively narrow definition of ‘inequality’, focusing on socioeconomic status and health, although inequality could also be considered the general differences between racial/ethnic groups in other contexts. We also highlight the complex relationship between race and ethnicity, and social inequality, which may directly and indirectly impact on population ageing through various processes and outcomes related to health (Williams and Wilson, 2001).
This chapter consists of four sections. The first section explains race and ethnicity in the American historical context. In the second section, we discuss the theoretical relationships between race and ethnicity, social inequality and population ageing. The third section summarises recent sociodemographic and socioeconomic trends, and their relationship to health and population ageing vis-á-vis race and ethnicity.

Objective:
The Family Evaluation of Hospice Care (FEHC) survey is widely employed by hospices, and several studies have examined this information to help inform and enhance end-of-life services. However, these studies have largely focused on examining relatively straightforward associations between variables and have not tested larger models that could reveal more complex effects. The present study aimed to examine the direct and mediating (i.e., via information/education, patient care, and family support) effects of demographic factors, length of stay, timing of referral, patient symptom severity, location of services, and relationship to caregiver on two outcome variables: overall satisfaction and caregiver confidence.
Method:Surveys were collected from 3226 participants who had lost a loved one who received hospice services. Structural equation modeling was employed to examine the direct and mediating effects of the independent variables on the two outcomes of interest.
Results:Participants reporting on racial minority patients, patients with more symptoms, and those referred too late or too early were the most likely to express some discontentment with hospice services. The information/education these individuals received was the only mediating factor significantly associated with caregiver confidence. More positive perceptions of patient care and information/education were both significantly related to greater overall satisfaction.
Significance of Results:These findings help to (1) pinpoint those most at risk for being less satisfied with hospice, (2) identify which aspects of care may be most strongly related to overall outcomes, and (3) provide a model for examining complex associations among FEHC variables that may be employed by other researchers.

Summary
This chapter explains why did sea power itself play such a relatively limited role in the Great War, as compared to its magnificent and undoubted importance in both the French Revolutionary/Napoleonic Wars and the Second World War. Sea power was vital for the extension of Japanese maritime influence across the waterways of Asia and the Indian Ocean; eventually, a Japanese destroyer squadron was to operate out of the Grand Harbour, Malta. In the classic study of the US Marines and amphibious warfare in the Pacific campaigns, Jeter A. Isley and Philip Crowl begin with a very blunt comparison: Success at Okinawa and Failure at Gallipoli. The US Marine Corps studied the Gallipoli campaign throughout the interwar years. The chapter presents an example of the crimping of the influence of sea power in the new era of mines, torpedoes, entrenched coastal gunnery, motor tropedo boats and submarines.

This paper analyses the impact of spousal care-giving on survivors' depressive symptoms six months into widowhood, and examines the applicability of a ‘relief model’ of spousal adjustment during bereavement. We examine several aspects of the care-giving situation, including care-giver stress, care-giving demands, and type and duration of care and how these affect survivors' depressive symptomatology. The sample is drawn from two waves of the Changing Lives of Older Couples (CLOC) survey, which was conducted in the United States in the Detroit Metropolitan Area, Michigan. The first wave of data was collected from couples and the second from the surviving spouse six months after the death of the partner. We use multiple regression analysis to examine the effects of key variables on depressive symptoms six months into widowhood, controlling for various demographic characteristics and personal circumstances. The results demonstrate that the duration of care-giving is the most influential predictor of survivors' depressive symptoms six months after the death. Indeed, long-term care-givers experience greater relief than both non-caregivers and short-term care-givers, as the predicted probabilities indicate. The results lead us to emphasise that care-giving and spousal bereavement should be studied as related processes rather than distinct phenomena. Indeed, relief from a chronically stressful care situation may actually ameliorate the negative effect of spousal loss for survivors.
