Adverse Pregnancy and Neonatal Outcomes Among Marshallese Women Living in the United States
Comparing the Visual Analogue Scale and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory for Measuring Health-Related Quality of Life in Children with Oral Clefts
Our study finds the VAS to perform relatively well in measuring overall HRQoL among children with oral clefts. The VAS may be useful as a screening tool to identify children with oral clefts at risk of low HRQoL for referral into more comprehensive evaluations and for measuring average HRQoL across a sample of children
Variation in Child Health Care Utilization by Medical Complexity
School Bonding in Early Adolescence
The comprehensive assessment of middle school student bonding is important for basic research and to evaluate interventions. In this study, the psychometric properties of three assessment tools found in the literature were examined individually and then combined to create a shorter survey. With minor modifications, the tools were found to be psychometrically sound; however, they were burdensome in length and contained redundancy. This motivated t…
The Association of Child and Household Food Insecurity With Childhood Overweight Status
CONTEXT. The prevalence of childhood overweight status is increasing. Some have suggested that childhood overweight is associated with food insecurity, defined as limited or uncertain access to enough nutritious food. OBJECTIVES. The purpose of this work was to assess the association of household and child food insecurity with childhood overweight status. METHODS. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999–2002 uses a stratified mu…
Awareness and Use of Folic Acid Among Women in the Lower Mississippi Delta
Context: National and state efforts to increase folic acid awareness and use may not be reaching large segments of the population. Purpose: This study examines folic acid awareness and use among women of childbearing age in a representative, economically at‐risk rural sample and identifies factors that influence awareness and use. Methods: A cross‐sectional random digit dialing telephone survey was completed with a representative sample of 646 wo…
Child Health-Related Quality of Life and Household Food Security
OBJECTIVE: To examine the association of household food insecurity with child self- or proxy-reported health-related quality of life (HRQOL). DESIGN: Cross-sectional telephone survey from January 1, 2000, through June 30, 2000. PARTICIPANTS: Three hundred ninety-nine children who live in 36 counties of the Delta region of Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Household food insecurity status was measured using the US Househ…

Household Food Insecurity Is Associated with Adult Health Status
Physician Characteristics and the Recognition of Depression and Anxiety in Primary Care
We examined physician characteristics associated with the recognition of depression and anxiety in primary care. Fifty-five physicians treating a total of 600 patients completed measures of psychosocial orientation, psychological mindedness, self-rating of sensitivity to hidden emotions, and a video test of sensitivity to nonverbal communication. Patients were classified as cases of psychiatric distress based on the CES-D scale and the Diagnostic…
Out-of-Wedlock Abortion and Delivery
When a single pregnant woman has an abortion, it is often assumed that her relationship to her male partner will break up, either before the abortion or afterwards. This study compares the relationships of 139 single women who had abortions with those of 109 single women who chose to have their babies. Women who abort, while less strongly tied to their partners before becoming pregnant, are no more likely to end their relationships six weeks or o…

Religious Involvement, Asceticism and Abortion among Low Income Black Women
This paper attempts to specify the importance of religious involvement and asceticism to reaction to out-of-wedlock pregnancy, the decision to abort a pregnancy, and response to the abortion experience within a sample of young, black women. The traditional view of black religion and recent empirical research suggest that the contribution of religious involvement to response to abortion should be unique among blacks. Results based on a sample of y…
