The Impact of Violence and Victimization Exposure on Caregivers Living in Urban Poverty: Attributions, Posttraumatic Stress and Depressive Symptoms
The Effects of Caregiver Social Support and Depressive Symptoms on Child Medication Adherence and Asthma Control
Predictors of Depressive Symptoms in Caregivers of Children With Poorly Controlled Asthma: Is the Neighborhood Context Important?
Children residing in low-income neighborhoods are disproportionately affected by asthma morbidity and mortality. Neighborhood violence has been explored in relationship to child morbidity and health and developmental outcomes, but less is known about the relationship of violence to caregiver mental health. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of neighborhood violent crime victimization (objective and subjective measures), per…
Psychometric evaluation of the child attitude toward illness scale—sibling version
The Child Attitude Toward Illness Scale (CATIS) is an established measure of how CSHCN perceive the impact of chronic conditions on their lives. We tested the psychometric properties of the CATIS adapted for use with siblings (CATIS-S) of youths with spina bifida (SB), a complex congenital birth defect. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) tested the factor structure of the CATIS-S in a sample of 208 adolescent siblings of youths with SB. Construct…

This longitudinal, multilevel analysis used data from a randomized clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of an environmental control educational inte…
