Apoe genotype and cognitive decline: Educational context as a moderator of genetic risk
Objectives The apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 allele is linked to increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive decline. While educational attainment appears to mitigate this risk, it is not a direct measure of the early-life environment. This study examined whether childhood exposure to well- versus poorly resourced educational contexts modified the association between APOE ε4 and cognitive decline, independent of parent and respondent educati…
Addressing Abortion Underreporting in Surveys with the List Experiment: Lifetime and Five-Year Abortion Incidence with Multivariate Estimation of Socio-Demographic Associations in Two U.S. States
Desire for Sterilization Reversal in Delaware, US: The Roles of Larc Use, Personal Abortion Acceptability, and Economic Disadvantage
Objective To investigate the pathways that may elevate risks of desire for sterilization reversal, specifically through nonuse of long‐acting reversible contraception (LARC), viewing abortion as unacceptable for oneself, and being economically disadvantaged. Methods We used chi‐squared tests and binary logistic models to analyze data on 3422 women, including 299 sterilized women, from a population‐representative sample of Delaware women aged 18–4…
State-level desegregation in the U.S. South and mid-life cognitive function among Black and White adults

Estimating Prevalence of Abortion Using List Experiments: Findings from a Survey of Women in Delaware and Maryland
Economic Inequality and Divergence in Family Formation in Sub-Saharan Africa
Economic inequality has been rising in many sub-Saharan African countries alongside rapid changes to union and family formation. In high-income countries marked by rising inequality, union and family formation practices have diverged across socioeconomic statuses, with intergenerational social and health consequences for the disadvantaged. In this study, we address whether there is also evidence of demographic divergence in low-income settings. S…
Improvements in Uninsurance Estimates for Fully Imputed Cases in the Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement
In 2019, the Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement introduced updates to data processing, including to the imputation of health insurance for cases with no reported health insurance information. This article examines the impact on health insurance estimates of modernized imputation procedures that were part of a redesign of the Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement. We use descriptive analysis a…
Gradual Change, Homeostasis, and Punctuated Equilibrium: Reconsidering Patterns of Health in Later Life
Longitudinal methods aggregate individual health histories to produce inferences about aging populations, but to what extent do these summaries reflect the experiences of older adults? We describe the assumption of gradual change built into several influential statistical models and draw on widely used, nationally representative survey data to empirically compare the conclusions drawn from mixed-regression methods (growth curve models and latent …
Robust Respondents and Lost Limitations: The Implications of Nonrandom Missingness for the Estimation of Health Trajectories
The most commonly used approaches to handling missing data likely underestimate the extent of poor health in aging populations. Although there is no single solution for nonrandom missingness, we show that bounding estimates can help analysts to better characterize patterns of health in later life
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Severity, Diagnosis, & Later Academic Achievement In a National Sample
Social progress and mental health
Two key words come quickly to mind when one thinks of social progress: the word development and the word help. These concepts seem to pervade the literature regarding conditions in the non-Western world, and among the disadvantaged in general. And they appear to underlie a large proportion of the planning and programs related to those areas and peoples. It would be useful to examine these concepts from time to time, given the enormous influence t…
