A social movement arises to reassure participants that something is being done to redress the underlying source of strain. Militia presence and activity on the Internet (especially Usenet) is a phenomenon that can be studied within Smelser's framework. Militia watchers contend that those who join the militias have experienced the kinds of strain to which Smelser refers. The purpose of this article is to analyze the content of Internet traffic of U.S. militias in order to test the thesis outlined above. It uses militia Web sites and militia messages posted to Usenet (N = 1,196) as primary data to test Smelser's theory. Information was gathered on 171 men and women from 28 U.S. militias who posted messages to Usenet from 1998–2001. Based on the militiamen/women studied, Smelser's thesis is generally confirmed. Most experienced some form of social stress or strain prior to or during the time that they were in the militia, and most conditions for social movement development as specified by Smelser were met and confirmed by the data.

Drawing from segmented assimilation theory and theories of neighborhood normative influence, we predict that the introduction of neighborhood-level acculturation measures will better predict sexual risk behaviors than individual-level measures on their own. This study uses data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) Waves I and III. Results indicate that immigrant generation and neighborhood proportion foreign born both have a significant effect on condom use for young adults. Furthermore, it is the interaction between individual and neighborhood-level acculturation that helps us to understand not only the nature of the acculturative process, but its impact on sexual risk behaviors for immigrant young adults.

Data were collected by: (1) interviews as to purposes and goals of general health care; (2) case descriptions of the types of programs implemented, and the day-to-day operations of a rural health racility; and (3) measurements of health and nutritional status of health care recipients. Certain programs such as immediate care, child vaccinations and food supplemental programs provided immediate benefits to recipients. However, these benefits were contingent upon the personal characteristics of health care services personnel. Other programs such as health and nutrition care education appeared to have more subtle and long-term positive effects. The Guatemalan health care system is "dendritic " or a centralized system.
