Change Over Time in Hospital Care for Medicaid Beneficiaries
BACKGROUND: Historically, access to high-quality care has been a central challenge for Medicaid programs. Prior single-year analyses demonstrated that Medicaid beneficiaries account for disproportionately high patient volumes at low-quality hospitals. Given major Medicaid shifts including expansion and increased managed care, we examined recent trends in low-quality hospital use for Medicaid beneficiaries. METHODS: Using Healthcare Cost and Utili…
How a Team Effectiveness Approach to Health Systems Science Can Illuminate Undergraduate Medical Education Outcomes
Health care delivery requires physicians to operate in teams to successfully navigate complexity in caring for patients and communities. The importance of training physicians early in core concepts of working in teams (i.e., “teaming”) has long been established. Over the past decade, however, little evidence of team effectiveness training for medical students has been available. The recent introduction of health systems science as a third pillar …

Parents’ Adverse Childhood Experiences and Their Children’s Behavioral Health Problems
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) include stressful and potentially traumatic events associated with higher risk of long-term behavioral problems and chronic illnesses. Whether parents' ACE counts (an index of standard ACEs) confer intergenerational risk to their children's behavioral health is unknown. In this study, we estimate the risk of child behavioral problems as a function of parent ACE counts. METHODS: We ob…

Incarcerated Youths’ Perspectives on Protective Factors and Risk Factors for Juvenile Offending
Objectives. We sought to understand incarcerated youths’ perspectives on the role of protective factors and risk factors for juvenile offending. Methods. We performed an in-depth qualitative analysis of interviews (conducted October–December 2013) with 20 incarcerated youths detained in the largest juvenile hall in Los Angeles. Results. The adolescent participants described their homes, schools, and neighborhoods as chaotic and unsafe. They expre…
Obesogenic Dietary Practices of Latino and Asian Subgroups of Children in California
Objectives. We examined obesogenic dietary practices among Latino and Asian subgroups of children living in California. Methods. We analyzed 2007, 2009, and 2011–2012 California Health Interview Survey data to examine the differences in dietary practices among Mexican and non-Mexican Latino children and 7 ethnic subgroups of Asian children. We used multivariable regression to examine the sociodemographic factors associated with specific dietary p…
Does Adolescent Weight Status Predict Problematic Substance Use Patterns
Overweight/obese adolescents are at higher risk of engaging in regular cigarette smoking without problematic alcohol or marijuana use
Social Status Attainment During the Transition to Adulthood
Using daily diaries to study family settings, emotions, and health in everyday life
Despite well documented links between family functioning and long-term physical health problems, prior studies using cross-sectional, laboratory, or traditional longitudinal designs are limited in their ability to address everyday family encounters, emotions, biological processes, and physical health. Here, we describe our ongoing study of family settings and upper respiratory infections (URIs) to demonstrate the value of daily diary approaches. …
Association Between Adolescent Viewership and Alcohol Advertising on Cable Television
Objectives. We examined whether alcohol advertising on cable television is associated with adolescent viewership. Methods. Using Nielsen data for every national cable alcohol advertisement from 2001 to 2006 (608 591 ads), we examined whether ad incidence in a given advertising time slot was associated with adolescent viewership (i.e., the percentage of the audience that was aged 12–20 years) after we controlled for other demographic variables. Re…
Perceived Effects of Leave From Work and the Role of Paid Leave Among Parents of Children With Special Health Care Needs
Objectives. We examined the perceived effects of leave from work among employed parents of children with special health care needs. Methods. Telephone interviews were conducted from November 2003 to January 2004 with 585 parents who had missed 1 or more workdays for their child's illness in the previous year. Results. Most parents reported positive effects of leave on their child's physical (81%) and emotional (85%) health; 57% reported a positiv…
