Integrating healthy marriage and relationship education into an employment program
The impacts of a high school healthy marriage and relationship education program
Impact of text message reminders on attendance at healthy marriage and relationship education workshops
Impacts of an Enhanced Family Health and Sexuality Module of the HealthTeacher Middle School Curriculum: A Cluster Randomized Trial
Objectives. To evaluate the impacts of an enhanced version of the Family Life and Sexuality Module of the HealthTeacher middle school curriculum. Methods. We conducted a cluster randomized trial of Chicago, Illinois, middle schools. We randomly assigned schools to a treatment group that received the intervention during the 2010–2011 school year or a control group that did not. The primary analysis sample included 595 students (7 schools) in the t…

Programs to Reduce Teen Pregnancy, Sexually Transmitted Infections, and Associated Sexual Risk Behaviors: A Systematic Review
What Do We Know About the Link Between Marriage and Health
This special journal issue presents nine new studies on the relationship between marriage and health among African Americans. It discusses health disparities between African Americans and other racial and ethnic groups, offers an overview of African American marriage rates, and presents evidence for the marriage-health link in this population
Three faces of international inequality
The Rising Significance of Education for Health
Research on inequality in America shows evidence of a growing social and economic divide between college graduates and people without college degrees. This article examines whether disparities in health between education groups have also recently increased. Pooled cross- sectional regression analyses of data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) show that educational disparities in self-reported health status increased from 1982 to 200…
Socioeconomic Position and Health: The Differential Effects of Education versus Income on the Onset versus Progression of Health Problems
This article seeks to elucidate the relationship between socioeconomic position and health by showing how different facets of socioeconomic position (education and income) affect different stages (onset vs. progression) of health problems. The biomedical literature has generally treated socioeconomic position as a unitary construct. Likewise, the social science literature has tended to treat health as a unitary construct. To advance our understan…

The Trend in International Health Inequality
Estimates of average life expectancy for 169 countries are used to compute the trend in between-country health inequality from 1980 to 2000. Results show that inequality in the distribution of life expectancy across countries declined in the 1980s, but then increased through the 1990s. The recent turnaround in between-country health inequality is significant because it reverses a long-term trend of declining inequality across countries that began…
Accounting for the Recent Decline in Global Income Inequality
Following nearly two centuries of growth, global income inequality declined in the last decades of the 20th century. To determine the causes of that historic decline, we focus on income inequality across nations and find that the major equalizing force is faster‐than‐world‐average income growth in China and South Asia, industrializing regions where 40% of the world’s people live. Apparently what matters most about economic globalization thus far …
Socioeconomic Status, School Quality, and National Economic Development: A Cross‐National Analysis of the “Heyneman‐Loxley Effect” on Mathematics and Science Achievement
Response to K. Anderson-Levitt’s Rejoinder
Anderson-Levitt raises several useful issues about our recent article on global versus national cultures, institutionalization, and comparative analysis of teaching in three nations.--In this response, we clarify some of our arguments and illustrate some of our differences in emphasis from Anderson-Levitt
Student Victimization: National and School System Effects on School Violence in 37 Nations
School violence is a problem in many nations, and rates of school violence in the United States are not among the highest in the world. The authors utilize a section of the TIMSS survey data to (a) explore the amount of school violence among the 37 nations in the study; (b) ascertain whether the traditional national-level predictors of crimes and delinquency explain cross-national variation in school violence; and (c) test whether factors related…
Teachers’ Work: Institutional Isomorphism and Cultural Variation in the U.S., Germany, and Japan
Policy debates in the U.S. are increasingly informed by use of internationally generated, comparative data. Many arguments revolve around whether or not such comparison makes “cultural sense” or whether specific educational activities that appear successful in one nation are “culturally appropriate” in another. These arguments clash with the work of anthropologists and sociologists who demonstrate that global cultural dynamics influence national …
Changing Income Inequalities within and between Nations: New Evidence
Fresh data sources on cross-national income are examined to document recent changes in the composition of world income inequality within and between nations. New evidence shows that during the 1980s and 1990s the composition of world income inequality experienced a fundamental change, characterized by the diminishing significance of between-nation income differences and the growing prominence of within-nation inequalities. Two competing trends ac…
