Sensory Difficulty and Assistive Device Use Among Older U.S. Immigrants
U.S. immigrants are aging faster than their U.S.-born counterparts, though little is known about their sensory difficulty and assistive device use patterns, particularly by region of origin which reflects pre- and post-migration exposures. We compiled 2012-2018 National Health Interview Survey data on foreign-born respondents ages 65+ (n = 6,278) to independently predict odds of hearing and visual difficulty, as well as use of hearing aids and gl…
Disability Among Middle Aged and Older Immigrants
ObjectivesUnited States (U.S.) immigrants are rapidly aging, although little is known on how acculturation influences their disability risk.MethodsWe pooled 2000-2018 data ( n = 50,075) from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) to examine odds of activities of daily living (ADL) disability among middle aged (40-64) and older (65+) immigrants based on three acculturation indicators while accounting for various measures.ResultsAmong middle a…

Brief report
Background The UCLA PEERS program has been studied using predominantly White and affluent populations. As autistic teens and their parents are represented across cultures, it is vitally important that interventions are tailored to their needs–whether that be linguistically or with respect to their cultural practices. Thus, the current qualitative study explored whether culturally and linguistically diverse families (primarily Latine) participatin…
Resisting research evidence-base deficits
This paper considers the research evidence-base informing teaching practice and policy in subject English in schools. We explore the Australian Journal of English Education, the flagship research publication from the Australian Association of Teachers of English, at a time when an evidence-base is in high demand. Our aim is to understand the research outputs that are valued by the authors, editors, reviewers and readers of this association journa…
Disability Among Older Immigrants in the United States
Rapid aging in American society will be disproportionately concentrated among the foreign-born. Immigrants in the United States (U.S.) are a heterogeneous population, yet little is known regarding their differences in disability later in life by region of origin. We use data from the National Health Interview Survey on respondents ages 60+ ( n = 313,072) and employ gender-specific logistic models to predict reports of any activity of daily living…
Apprenticing students into political participation
This study examines 12 lessons undertaken with a Year 5 English Language Arts elementary class where students are explicitly introduced to a grammar for critical visual literacy. The goal is to apprentice students into political participation by developing their skills for critically reviewing and redesigning visual texts on the school website. The research is presented as an exploratory qualitative case study of a visiting teacher-researcher who…
Exploring telehealth during Covid for assessing autism spectrum disorder in a diverse sample
Due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic, the importance of telehealth has rapidly increased, in particular as many in‐person clinics have closed. Early intervention is crucial for improving outcomes in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). As such, the need for timely assessments and diagnoses remains despite COVID‐19‐related closures. This study offers preliminary data collected from 23 children assessed through a no‐cost…
Disability and self-rated health
There is limited inquiry regarding how immigrant status intersects with disability to influence health across adulthood. As the U.S. population continues to age, especially immigrants, understanding how disability influences health is imperative. Using 2010-2018 National Health Interview Survey data ( n = 461,010) and logistic regression models, we investigate how differences in reporting Activity of Daily Living (ADL) disability influence report…
Assimilation, Acculturation, and Allostatic Load in U.S.- and Foreign-Born Hispanics
Investigating Changes in Reward-Related Neural Correlates After Peers Intervention in Adolescents With ASD
Background: The Social Motivation Hypothesis proposes that individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience social interactions as less rewarding than their neurotypical (TD) peers, which may lead to reduced social initiation. Existing studies of the brain's reward system in individuals with ASD report varied findings for anticipation of and response to social rewards. Given discrepant findings, the anticipation of and response to socia…
Varieties of Financial Stressors and Midlife Health Problems, 1996–2016
Given the recent volatility in the U.S. economy, our results highlight the potential loss of health that may occur if nothing is done to prevent economically vulnerable populations from sliding into financial crisis. Our results also emphasize the need for additional research to develop individual-level interventions to improve health among those already experiencing financial difficulties
CBPR Implementation Framework for Community‐Academic Partnerships
The Engage for Equity (E2) study is an intervention trial for community–academic research partnerships that seeks to improve partnering practices and health equity outcomes by providing community and academic partners with tools to enhance and advance power sharing and health equity. Twenty‐five community/academic research teams completed a two‐day training intervention where they were introduced to the CBPR Conceptual Model and corresponding app…
Assessing Stress in Pregnancy and Postpartum
SLE-based methods capture an aspect of perinatal stress not adequately assessed by EPDS. Combination of psychological distress measures and SLE-based measures is optimal in predicting EBD of the child. Stress measures based on SLE are suitable for early pregnancy, while self-reports of depressive symptoms may perform better in postpartum
Queer in the Heartland
Little is known about the cancer experiences of sexual and gender minority (SGM) persons in Midwestern areas. In response, a statewide survey of 567 SGM adults in Iowa, a largely rural Midwestern state, assessed cancer prevalence, screening tests, and related risk factors. Skin cancer accounted for nearly half of reported cancers. Individuals assigned female sex at birth reported high levels of lifetime mammograms and Papanicolaou (Pap) tests. In…
Caste Differences in Hypertension Among Women in India
The Push and Pull of Self-Managing Mild COPD
Health coaching is a novel population intervention to support self-management but it is untested in people with mild disease. People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with mild dyspnea are a population excluded from supported self-management and whose illness might progress without intervention. We explored participants' experiences about how health coaching motivated behavior change. Interviews were conducted with 21 intervention and 10…

Widening the Scope of Social Support
The Florida Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) program is designed to support pregnant women and families in developing skills and utilizing resources necessary to promote their children's physical, social, and emotional development. Little evaluation attention has focused on large‐scale, public policy driven home‐visiting programs. Social support provision is a critical component of a successful home‐visiting program; t…
Stigma as a Barrier to Substance Abuse Treatment Among Those With Unmet Need
Substance use (SU) stigma is one factor contributing to unmet need for SU treatment. Additionally, theory suggests that women and single parents who use substances experience enhanced stigma because they do not adhere to normative social expectations. This study examines differences in perceived stigma by gender and parenthood among those with unmet need for SU treatment using the 2003-2010 National Survey of Drug Use and Health ( N = 1,474). Res…
Diet (Obesity)
As obesity continues to cause concern as a national epidemic affecting one third of Americans, diet is one of the major considerations in explaining the rapid increase in obesity. Diet is a fundamental necessity to human life and development and is influenced by many factors such as physical environment, sociodemographic factors, and culture. Dietary behaviors from an early age are considered to have impacts on health in later age, causing diet a…
Self-rated health and barriers to healthcare in Ukraine
The ongoing health crisis in the Ukraine has persisted for 48 years with a clear division of gender-based outcomes as seen in the decline of male life expectancy and stagnation of female longevity. The purpose of this paper is to investigate differences in self-rated health and system barriers to health care applicable to gender and its intersections because of the differing negative health outcomes for men and women. Intersectionality theory pro…
Epidemiological Paradox or Immigrant Vulnerability? Obesity Among Young Children of Immigrants
According to the “immigrant epidemiological paradox,” immigrants and their children enjoy health advantages over their U.S.-born peers—advantages that diminish with greater acculturation. We investigated child obesity as a potentially significant deviation from this paradox for second-generation immigrant children. We evaluated two alternate measures of mother’s acculturation: age at arrival in the United States and English language proficiency. …
Negative emotions and stigma associated with a human papillomavirus test result
Human papillomavirus has largely been framed as a women's health issue, and the psychosocial impact of human papillomavirus among men remains unclear. In this study, we found that women infected with human papillomavirus ( n = 154) experienced a greater degree of negative emotions and stigma than human papillomavirus-infected men ( n = 190). Among women, younger age and less education were associated with greater expression of negative emotions a…
Multiple Imputation for Combined-survey Estimation With Incomplete Regressors in One but Not Both Surveys
Within-survey multiple imputation (MI) methods are adapted to pooled-survey regression estimation where one survey has more regressors, but typically fewer observations, than the other. This adaptation is achieved through (1) larger numbers of imputations to compensate for the higher fraction of missing values, (2) model-fit statistics to check the assumption that the two surveys sample from a common universe, and (3) specifying the analysis mode…
Big Boys and Little Girls
Previous research fails to find a consistent association between obesity and acculturation for children. We theorize that social isolation shelters children of immigrants from the U.S. 'obesiogenic' environment, but this protective effect is offset by immigrant parents' limited capacity to identify and manage this health risk in the United States. We further theorize that these factors affect boys more than girls. We use data from over 20,000 chi…

Covenant Marriage and the Sanctification of Gendered Marital Roles
This study contributes to research on the deinstitutionalization of marriage and changing gender ideologies by focusing on a unique group of marriage innovators. With quantitative and qualitative data from the Marriage Matters project (1997-2004), this study used a symbolic interactionist perspective to compare covenant- and standard-married couples. Findings reveal that covenants are more traditional than standards across religious, marital, and…

‘I Think It's Really Great that Someone Is Listening to Us …‘
This paper presents a qualitative study of the environmental concerns and attitudes of young people. The study arose when it was recognised that a quantitative study on youth environmental knowledge and attitude in which we were engaged could be enriched through qualitative research. A pilot qualitative study was conducted using focus group interviews with young people aged 15‐17 years in Brisbane, Australia. The findings of this study are report…

Physical Activity and Minority Women
Few physical activity research studies have been conducted with minority women. The purpose of this study was to explore patterns of physical activity among minority women. Focus groups were conducted with volunteers older than age 40. Each group was led by a trained moderator familiar with the ethnic community targeted. The sessions were audiotaped and professionally transcribed. Constructs were researched and codes were developed. Data were ana…
Literacy and the Pendulum of Change
Literacy and the Pendulum of Change
The history of literacy education closely parallels other histories of education. One needs only to recall how innovative trends of the past few decades found a ready market for their claims of classroom success, such as team teaching, open-concept classrooms, new or modem mathematics, and self-paced instruction. Each innovation was touted as a panacea for problems facing the schools of the day. Literacy education is no different in its seemingly…
