This biocultural research explores the long-term demographic, epidemiologic, and social consequences of the 1918 influenza pandemic in Alaska. Using mixed methods, the research will evaluate pandemic impacts on life expectancy and survivorship in a region where infections such as tuberculosis and other respiratory diseases were prevalent. The proposed work will also investigate how catastrophic mortality events affect health, demography, and society in the decades after the pandemic ended.This project applies a mixed-methods approach, integrating quantitative demographic data with qualitative archival records from 1910–1939. Demographic impacts will be analyzed using multiple decrement life tables for major causes of death (respiratory diseases, tuberculosis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal infections, etc.) to detect changes in life expectancy and survivorship. Survival analyses will be performed to assess significant differences among regions and between males and females. Finally, thematic analyses of qualitative archival data will identify major themes related to the pandemic, health, subsistence, and social organization. This project is jointly funded by the OPP Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program, the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR), and the Arctic Social Sciences Program.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这项生物文化研究探讨了1918年阿拉斯加影响者的长期人口，流行病学和社会后果。利用混合方法，该研究将评估大流行对寿命和生存的影响，而在诸如结核病和其他呼吸系统疾病之类的感染的地区。拟议的工作还将调查大流行结束后数十年的灾难性死亡率事件如何影响健康，人口统计和社会。本项目采用混合方法，将定量人口统计数据与1910 - 1939年的定性档案记录相结合。人口影响将使用多个减少寿命表进行分析，以造成重大死亡原因（呼吸道疾病，结核病，癌症，心血管疾病，胃肠道感染等），以检测预期和生存的变化。将进行生存分析，以评估区域之间以及男性和女性之间的显着差异。最后，对定性档案数据的主题分析将确定与大流行，健康，生存和社会组织有关的主要主题。该项目由OPP博士后研究奖学金计划，启发竞争研究的既定计划（EPSCOR）以及北极社会科学计划共同资助。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来通过评估来通过评估来支持的。
