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 年阿拉斯加流感大流行对人口、流行病学和社会的长期影响。该研究将使用混合方法评估流行病对结核病和其他呼吸道疾病等感染流行地区的预期寿命和生存率的影响。拟议的工作还将调查大流行结束后几十年内灾难性死亡事件如何影响健康、人口和社会。该项目采用混合方法，将 1910 年至 1939 年的定量人口数据与定性档案记录相结合。将使用主要死因（呼吸系统疾病、结核病、癌症、心血管疾病、胃肠道感染等）的多重递减生命表来分析人口影响，以检测预期寿命和生存率的变化。将进行生存分析以评估地区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流行病、健康、生存和社会组织相关的主要主题。该项目由 OPP 博士后研究奖学金计划、刺激竞争研究既定计划 (EPSCoR) 和北极社会科学计划共同资助。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
