Fathers’ Socioeconomic Precarity and Mothers’ Ability to Make Ends Meet
Economic and policy changes since Making Ends Meet was first published have fundamentally restructured the social safety net available to single mothers, while simultaneously eroding the economic position of the men with whom they share children. This study examines the degree of socioeconomic precarity among nonresident fathers and its implications for the economic well-being of mothers in the post-welfare reform era, using data from the Future …
Child support debt and the well‐being of disadvantaged fathers of color
Objective Using a survey sample comprised of predominantly low‐income fathers of color, we examine whether child support debt (arrears) is associated with fathers' poor physical health, depression, and material hardship 9 years after their child's birth. Background About 70% of the $113.5 billion in outstanding arrears is held by men earning $10,000 or less, and an emerging body of research suggests arrears can negatively impact economically disa…
The 2016 Presidential Election, the Public Charge Rule, and Food and Nutrition Assistance Among Immigrant Households
Objectives. To investigate whether the 2016 US presidential election and the subsequent leak of a proposed change to the public charge rule reduced immigrant families’ participation in food and nutrition assistance programs. Methods. We used nationally representative data on n = 57 808 households in the United States from the 2015–2018 Current Population Survey–Food Security Supplement. We implemented difference-in-difference-in-difference analys…
SNAP participation and the health and health care utilisation of low-income adults and children
Objective: This article examined whether participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) produced changes to adult and child health and health care utilisation during a period of economic recession. Design: Instrumental variables analysis relying on variation in state SNAP policies to isolate exogenous variation in household SNAP participation. Setting: Nationally representative data on child and adult health from the 2008 t…
Predictors of Nursing Home Admission Among a Cohort of Homeless Older Adults Entering Emergency Shelter
OBJECTIVE: This study examined the extent and timing of nursing home admissions among older adults who had their first visit at an emergency shelter or re-entered after an extended absence. We assessed the relationships between demographic characteristics, health and behavioral health conditions, and health services utilization measures and the risk of nursing home admission. METHODS: We linked administrative data from the emergency shelter syste…
Helping Those Who Need It the Least
Although there have been calls to expand mentoring as way to redress the growing problem of economic immobility in the United States, no study to date has directly examined whether mentoring and economic mobility are related. Using multiple waves of data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health and employing a propensity score matching approach, this quasi-experimental study compares youth who report having had an informal adult …

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 …
The Role of Fathers in Reducing Socioeconomic Inequalities in Adolescent Behavioral Outcomes
There are well-established disparities in children’s socioemotional well-being by family socioeconomic status (SES). Although evidence suggests that father involvement can improve child outcomes, no studies have considered whether father involvement among low-SES children can reduce such gaps. We use 10 years of panel data on children born in large US cities to explore the associations between father involvement and behavior problems among 15-yea…
Father Involvement and Socioeconomic Disparities in Child Academic Outcomes
ObjectiveThis article explores whether father involvement can reduce socioeconomic disparities in child academic outcomes.BackgroundAn emerging body of literature points to the benefits to children of involvement by low-socioeconomic status (SES) fathers. Research has not systematically investigated whether differences in father involvement can account for SES-based disparities in child outcomes.MethodThis study used data from 12,030 unique child…
Food Insecurity and Child Health
OBJECTIVES: Food insecurity is an important public health problem facing children in the United States. Although a number of previous studies suggest that food insecurity has negative impacts on health, these studies have not dealt thoroughly with issues of selection bias. We use propensity scoring techniques to approximate the causal effects of food insecurity on children's health and health care use outcomes. METHODS: = 29 341). Using inverse p…
Injuries Among School-aged Children of Immigrants
A Social Work Approach to Policy
The substantial disparities in health and poorer outcomes in the United States relative to peer nations suggest the need to refocus health policy. Through direct contact with the most vulnerable segments of the population, social workers have developed an approach to policy that recognizes the importance of the social environment, the value of social relationships, and the significance of value-driven policymaking. This approach could be used to …
Longitudinal Trajectories of Food Insecurity Among Children of Immigrants
Accessibility of summer meals and the food insecurity of low-income households with children
Objective Almost no previous research has examined the impact of the US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Summer Food Service Program and related Seamless Summer Option, which provide meals and snacks to low-income children over the summer. The present study investigated whether geographic accessibility of summer meals programme sites (a proxy for programme participation) was associated with food insecurity for low-income households. Design The …
Food insecurity in veteran households
Objective The present study is the first to use nationally representative data to compare rates of food insecurity among households with veterans of the US Armed Forces and non-veteran households. Design We used data from the 2005–2013 waves of the Current Population Survey – Food Security Supplement to identify rates of food insecurity and very low food security in veteran and non-veteran households. We estimated the odds and probability of food…

Policies to promote healthy portion sizes for children
People of all ages are increasingly consuming larger portions of food. Governments worldwide are involved in the regulation of many aspects of the food supply; however, policies and programs related to serving sizes for children vary or are not clearly communicated. This paper reviews U.S. federal and state government recommendations, policies, and laws related to serving size for children and suggests directions for future policy objectives and …

Parental Work Schedules and Child Overweight or Obesity
The authors used longitudinal data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study (N = 5,482) to investigate whether maternal and paternal work schedules affect child overweight or obesity. They took the novel step of examining whether this effect is consistent for children living in different family structures. Findings from child fixed effects models suggest that the probability of child overweight or obesity was higher for children living…
Family Structure and Child Food Insecurity
Objectives. We examined whether food insecurity was different for children in cohabiting or repartnered families versus those in single-mother or married-parent (biological) families. Methods. We compared probabilities of child food insecurity (CFI) across different family structures in 4 national data sets: the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study—Birth Cohort (ECLS-B), the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study (FFCWS), the Early Childhood Lo…
Nonresident Fathers and Child Food Insecurity
More than 1 in 10 children in the United States experience food insecurity, and children in single-mother families are at greatest risk. We examine the associations of nonresident father involvement and child food insecurity using two nationally representative panel data sets of children in early and middle childhood. Nonresident father involvement, based on a comprehensive index, is associated with lower food insecurity in both early and middle …
Parental work schedules and adolescent risky behaviors
Using a large contemporary data set (the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-Child Supplement), the authors examined the effects of parental work schedules on adolescent risky behaviors at age 13 or 14 and the mechanisms that might explain them. Structural equation modeling suggests mothers who worked more often at night spent significantly less time with children and had lower quality home environments, and these mediators were significantly l…
Falling Further Behind? Child Support Arrears and Fathers’ Labor Force Participation
This study examines how child support arrears affect fathers' labor force participation. It relies on longitudinal data from the Fragile Families and Child Well-Being Study. Findings from analyses of these data suggest that child support arrears result in declines in average weeks worked in the formal labor market in subsequent time periods. These findings are driven by the behaviors of fathers who had relatively high amounts of arrears and no in…

Parental work schedules and adolescent depression
Using a large contemporary United States data set, the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-Child Supplement (NLSY-CS), this paper examines the relationship between parental work schedules and adolescent depression at age 13 or 14, paying particular attention to the mechanisms that may explain this relationship. Analysis based on structural equation modeling showed that increased work at night by mothers was significantly associated with a lower…
Maternal Nonstandard Work Schedules and Adolescent Overweight
Objectives. We investigated whether nonstandard work schedules by mothers were associated with adolescent overweight. Methods. We conducted multiple regression analyses using a sample of mother–child pairs (n=2353) from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to examine the association between the number of years mothers worked at nonstandard schedules and adolescent overweight at age 13 or 14 years. Separate analyses were also conducted by fam…
