   This article examines attitudes toward property, government, access to housing, integration, and community identity as expressed in the discourse surrounding the struggle over fair housing in Westchester, New York surrounding the 2009 court-ordered settlement. Building on the ‘new suburban history’, this article argues that opposition to fair housing drew on long-term conservative trends in the national political culture after 1968, but also reflected the specific dynamics of the early Obama years. Fair housing opponents contend that housing ‘choices,’ rooted in the values of ‘hard work,’ meritocracy, private property, and the free market, exemplify the patriotic tradition of American individualism. But, in doing so, they ignore decades of state-sponsored housing discrimination that contradicted free market principles. Drawing heavily on what one scholar has called ‘race-based neighborhood stereotyping’, these ideas constitute an important starting point for understanding the crippling resistance to fair housing initiatives, since this discourse has proven remarkably durable and politically galvanizing.

   e19050 Background: It is well known HCT recipients experience multiple symptoms affecting quality of life. Emerging data supports the role palliative care can play in mitigating these issues. Our cellular therapy team collaborated with the Palliative Care team on a pilot project incorporating their expertise into the management of our new allogeneic transplant patients. We chose this group of patients given their increased needs relative to other cellular therapy recipients (i.e. autologous, CTL) and our institution’s available resources. Methods: Patients admitted to the HCT unit for allogenic stem cell transplant underwent palliative care consult during their conditioning regimen. During the initial palliative care visit, performed by a specialist palliative care nurse practitioner, patients underwent comprehensive assessment of physical symptoms, psychosocial distress, and overall quality of life. Patients were then followed during hospitalization by members of the palliative care team including Nurse Practitioner, Social Worker and Chaplain, to address identified needs and support both the patient and their family. The palliative care team provided daily communication and recommendations to our inpatient HCT team. Results: Patient one was a 61-year-old man with intermediate risk MDS who underwent a reduced intensity conditioning regimen of busulfan, fludarabine, and alemtuzumab. His transplant was complicated by delirium and anorexia. Patient two was a 63-year-old man with AML who underwent a reduced conditioning regimen of the same combination. His transplant was complicated by bone pain and insomnia. Patient three was a 70-year-old woman with AML who also underwent a reduced conditioning regimen. Her transplant was complicated by severe mucositis and gastric reflux. Conclusions: Allogeneic stem cell transplant patients experience a multitude of symptoms and psychosocial distress. With the help of a dedicated palliative care assessment, we can improve patients’ quality of life during their admission for the transplant. Considering the positive feedback from patients, we plan to conduct a formal prospective study evaluating the impact of palliative care on adult stem cell transplant patients at our institution. By addressing the patient’s whole person rather than just their disease, we also hope to decrease number of admissions as well as length of stay. Ultimately, we look forward to expanding this to other malignancies as well. Read less

   Context Many governments have publicly released healthcare data, which can be mined for insights about disease conditions, and their impact on society. Methods We present a big-data analytics approach to investigate data in the New York Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) consisting of 20 million patient records. Findings Whereas the age group 30–48 years exhibited an 18% decline in mental health (MH) disorders from 2009 to 2016, the age group 0–17 years showed a 5.4% increase. MH issues amongst the age group 0–17 years comprise a significant expenditure in New York State. Within this age group, we find a higher prevalence of MH disorders in females and minority populations. Westchester County has seen a 32% increase in incidences and a 41% increase in costs. Conclusions Our approach is scalable to data from multiple government agencies and provides an independent perspective on health care issues, which can prove valuable to policy and decision-makers.
