  • Structural Effects on HIV Risk Among Youth: A Multi-Level Analysis
    AIDS and Behavior, 2018
    Co-Authors: Robin Lin Miller, Trevor Strzyzykowski, Kyung Sook Lee, Danielle Chiaramonte, Ignacio D. Acevedo-polakovich, Hannah Spring, Olga Santiago-rivera, Cherrie B. Boyer, Jonathan M. Ellen
    Abstract:

    We proposed a multilevel model of structural influences on HIV-risky sexual partnerships in a diverse sample of 1793 youth residing in 23 states and the District of Columbia. We examined the influence of concentrated disadvantage, HIV stigma, and sexual and gender minority stigma on engagement in HIV risky sexual partnerships and whether youth’s participation in opportunity structures, anticipation of HIV stigma, and perceptions of their community as youth-supportive settings mediated structural effects. After controlling for age, HIV status, and race, we found structural HIV stigma had deleterious indirect effects on youth’s participation in HIV-risky sexual partnerships. Concentrated disadvantage and structural sexual and gender minority stigma had direct negative effects on youth’s perceptions of their communities as supportive and on their participation in prosocial activity. Support perceptions had direct, protective effects on avoidance of HIV-risky sexual partnerships. Structural stigma undermines youth’s belief that their communities invest in their safety and well-being. Propusimos un modelo multinivel de las influencias estructurales sobre las relaciones sexuales con riesgo de VIH en una muestra diversa de 1793 jóvenes residentes en 23 estados y el Distrito de Columbia. Examinamos la influencia de la desventaja concentrada, el estigma del VIH y los estigmas de minorías sexuales y de género sobre la participación en relaciones sexuales con riesgo de VIH, y si la participación de los jóvenes en estructuras de oportunidad, su anticipación del estigma del VIH, y su percepción de la comunidad como lugar de apoyo a los jóvenes intermedian a los efectos estructurales. Después de controlar la edad, el estado serológico y la raza de los jóvenes, descubrimos que el estigma estructural del VIH tuvo efectos indirectos perjudiciales sobre la participación de los jóvenes en relaciones sexuales con riesgo de VIH. La desventaja concentrada y los estigmas de minorías sexuales y de género tuvieron efectos negativos directos sobre las percepciones de los jóvenes acerca de sus comunidades como lugares de apoyo y sobre su participación en actividades pro-sociales. Las percepciones de apoyo tuvieron efectos directos de protección sobre la evasión de relaciones sexuales con riesgo de VIH. El estigma estructural disminuye en los jóvenes la creencia que sus comunidades invierten en su seguridad y bienestar.

  • Is Student Share of Net Tuition Impacted by a Growing Elderly Population? A Longitudinal, Multi-Level Analysis of Student Share of Net Tuition in All 50 American States Between 1992 and 2013
    Higher Education Policy, 2019
    Co-Authors: Adolfo Santos, W. Mark Sweatman, Laurel Holland
    Abstract:

    To understand increases in student share of net tuition for state colleges and universities, resulting from state financial decreases in support for higher education, a quantitative, longitudinal, Multi-Level Analysis of data from all 50 states in the USA from 1992 to 2013 was examined. Five hypotheses related to (1) growth in student share of net tuition over a 22-year period, and its relationship to (2) the percent of the population 65 years of age and older, (3) state expenditures for hospitals and public health, (4) state expenditures for police protection and corrections, and (5) Republican political control of state legislatures, were quantitatively tested. Data were obtained from the State Higher Education Executive Officers Association (SHEEOA). Even though student share of net tuition is increasing drastically over the 22-year period, expenditures on public health, police protection, and corrections have no significant effect on increasing or decreasing the share of net tuition for which students are responsible. The effect of the percent of the population 65 years and older, however, has a significant impact on student share of net tuition.

  • Social capital and knowledge transfer: A Multi-Level Analysis:
    Human Relations, 2011
    Co-Authors: Jun Wei, Wei Zheng, Mian Zhang
    Abstract:

    This study explores how individual level and team level social capital characteristics manifest their joint influence on knowledge transfer, considering team social capital as a moderator between individual social capital and knowledge transfer. Situated in a post-training context, a survey of 390 individuals from 30 teams in a Chinese bank was conducted. Our results revealed that team social capital interacted with individual social capital in influencing knowledge transfer. At the individual level, distance and structural equivalence between the knowledge seeker and the knowledge source influenced how much knowledge was transferred between them. Furthermore, team network density mitigated the negative effect of distance on knowledge transfer, and team learning culture reduced the positive effect of structural equivalence on knowledge transfer. Theoretical implications based on the findings are drawn.

  • Policy advice as policy work: a conceptual framework for Multi-Level Analysis
    Policy Sciences, 2017
    Co-Authors: Arnost Veselý
    Abstract:

    This article argues that policy advice can be understood as a special kind of “policy work” that depends upon a diverse set of factors operating at different levels. The basic aim of the article is to disentangle this Multi-Level and multifaceted phenomenon into a conceptual framework that can be used for empirical Analysis and theory building. In that framework, policy advice is conceptualized as a never-ending interaction among various actors in a specific institutional context, through which routines and norms are both reproduced and abolished. First, it is explained why policy advice is most fruitfully understood as a special kind of policy work, and then how it relates to other policy work activities. Second, problems with single-level approaches are discussed and the need for a Multi-Level approach is explained. Third, a Multi-Level conceptual framework is formulated and described. Fourth, some possible applications of the framework are illustrated with examples from current empirical research. The article concludes with implications for research and theory building.
