An ethnographic study of the work of nurse practitioners at an outpatient care facility shows how these medical professionals must endlessly multitask to fill gaps in the US social safety net. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, a new focus on the essential work of nurses and the lack of resources with which they often contend is especially timely.

Introduction: Hispanic/Latinos are the largest ethnic minority in United States with significant cultural and racial heterogeneity. The recent cholesterol treatment guidelines are mainly based on estimates from non-Hispanic white and black cohorts. Aim: To estimate the proportion of US Hispanic adults potentially affected by recent changes in recommendations for statin therapy eligibility under the 3rd National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel (NCEP/ATP III) and the new 2013 ACC/AHA cholesterol treatment guidelines. Methods: HCHS/SOL is a large multi-center study of Hispanics/Latinos in US communities (Bronx, NY; Chicago, IL; Miami, FL; and San Diego, CA) (n=16,415; mean age 41 years, 40% males) . We evaluated weighted prevalence of statin-treated individuals and the proportion of target population that met the eligibility criteria for statin therapy under NCEP/ATP III versus 2013 ACC/AHA cholesterol treatment guidelines. Results: A total of 1,716 (10.4%) were treated with statins in HCHS/SOL cohort. However, 3,366 (20.5%) and 5,268 (32.1%) were eligible for statin therapy under NCEP/ATP III and 2013 ACC/AHA guidelines respectively. The proportion of statin-eligible adults increased primarily among older adults from 44% to 87% and males from 19% to 39% under NCEP/ATP III guidelines and 2013 ACC/AHA guidelines respectively (Figure 1). There was also an increase in eligibility for statin therapy in middle aged adults (44% to 65%). Conclusions: Regardless of the definition for statin eligibility, Hispanics are grossly undertreated (only half and only a third of those statin-eligible under the ATP III or the new ACC/AHA guidelines respectively are receiving treatment). The eligibility of statin therapy almost doubles consistently across all Hispanic/Latinos subgroups of under the new 2013 ACC/AHA guidelines.

Women’S Labor Supply

The US tax and transfer system generates revenue and provides safety net programs that move millions out of poverty. Since women are more likely to live in poverty, they are more likely to qualify for means-tested transfers. The structure of taxation in the United States often penalizes secondary earners, who are usually women. These programs alter work incentives and consequently may affect labor supply decisions. In this chapter, we examine the empirical evidence on the effects of taxes and transfers on the labor supply of women in the United States. We show that much has changed since 1990, with the biggest shift being a change from cash transfers via welfare to refundable tax credits to workers. Overall, the evidence we review shows women have higher labor force participation and are less responsive to changes in after-tax wages than they were before 1990, but the labor supply effects vary substantially by program considered.
