Understanding Relations between State-Level Variation in Tanf Spending and Substantiated Child Maltreatment in the USA
The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program in the USA is designed to address poverty. Because of the link to poverty, it may indirectly affect child maltreatment outcomes. However, TANF spending by states, which differs by the state’s racial composition, may moderate the effects. This study explores the relationship between states’ TANF spending and child maltreatment outcomes with the states’ Black population concentration as a m…
Perceived Covid-19-related anti-Asian discrimination predicts post traumatic stress disorder symptoms among Asian and Asian American young adults
An examination of child care provider participation in state subsidy contract systems
Experiences of Covid-19-related anti-Asian discrimination and affective reactions in a multiple race sample of U.S. young adults
Patterns of Multiple Instability among Low-Income Families with Children
Low-income families experience multiple forms of instability, yet researchers have often focused on a single type of instability. This study used data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation and examined patterns of multiple instability among low-income families with children, focusing on income, family structure, and residential instability. We employed sequence and cluster analyses to identify five distinct longitudinal profiles of …
Can Administrative Changes Improve Child-Care Subsidy Stability
This study assesses administrative changes in Massachusetts that shifted the responsibility for child-care subsidy-eligibility reassessments from regional Child Care Resource and Referral agencies to locally contracted child-care providers. The study applies a mixed-methods approach, using (1) state administrative data to examine the association between the administrative changes and children’s stability of subsidy receipt and (2) qualitative met…
Child Support and Income Inequality
Child support contributes to many custodial‐mother families’ income, yet there are persistent concerns that many noncustodial fathers have low‐wage, unstable jobs that limit their ability to pay child support. Thus, child support may exacerbate inequality—that is, it may transfer resources from a low‐income noncustodial father to a custodial‐mother family that is already better off. These arguments, however, are generally made without reference t…
Correlates of shelter use among young adults experiencing homelessness
Representations of homelessness, home environments, and authority in the context of runaway behaviors reported by foster care youth residing in an emergency shelter
Between 31 and 46% of youth with histories of foster care placement were homeless at least once. Studies of the incidence of runaway behavior have identified a host of risk factors associated with running away from foster care placement, but less is known about the internalized processes of these individuals at risk for running away or the contextual experience surrounding it. This study is designed to investigate the representations made by indi…
Variation in early cognitive development by maternal immigrant documentation status
Health insurance coverage and routine health care use among children by family immigration status
Insights into the black box of child care supply
Longitudinal Trajectories of Food Insecurity Among Children of Immigrants
Exploring Contextual Factors of Youth Homelessness And Sexual Risk Behaviors
HIV prevention methods that target stress and stigma while respecting youths' self-reliance may help reduce sexual risk behaviors. Further research is needed to determine suitable behavioral change techniques to address these potentially modifiable factors
Child care burden and the risk of child maltreatment among low-income working families
Child care subsidies and employment outcomes of low-income families
The role of parental immigration status in Latino families' child care selection
Patterns of child care subsidy receipt and the stability of child care
The Regularity of Child Support and Its Contribution to the Regularity of Income
The declining availability of public assistance and increasing reliance on child support as a key income source for single-parent families raise questions about the adequacy and consistency of support. Using detailed Wisconsin administrative records for custodial mothers who obtained a new child support order in 2000, this study examines the regularity of child support receipt and its contribution to the regularity of total income among custodial…

Do High Child Support Orders Discourage Child Support Payments
This article examines the relationships among child support orders, child support payments, and the compliance rate (payments compared to orders). It uses administrative data from Wisconsin, examining 3 years of orders and payments by fathers who had their first order for child support to a particular mother in 2000. Using fixed‐effects models that attempt to control for unobserved factors, the authors find that the burden of orders (i.e., the pr…
Stability of Child‐Care Subsidy Use and Earnings of Low‐Income Families
This article explores the duration and effect of child‐care subsidy use among low‐income working mothers in Wisconsin. Using an event‐history model, the study finds that mothers are likely to cycle on and off subsidy systems and that their subsidy spells tend to end relatively quickly. Results from a Tobit model with a lagged dependent variable suggest that long‐term use of child‐care subsidies is associated with increases in mothers’ earnings
Experiences of Covid-19-related anti-Asian discrimination and affective reactions in a multiple race sample of U.S. young adults
Child care subsidy patterns
Patterns of child care subsidy receipt and the stability of child care
Unchanging child support orders in the face of unstable earnings
The underlying theory behind child support guidelines implies that child support orders should change when the incomes of noncustodial parents change. This paper documents changes in noncustodial fathers' earnings over a five-year period and examines the relationship between the changes in earnings and modifications in child support orders. Using detailed longitudinal administrative data from Wisconsin, the authors examine the history of orders a…
