Child Care Providers’ Quality Improvement within QRIS
Long-term trajectories of depressive symptoms by military affiliation
A larger percentage of those who served were in the "increasing" trajectory characterized by concerningly high depressive symptoms by midlife, underscoring the need for continued screening in depressive symptoms throughout the life course. Associations between family structure and gender on depressive symptoms support calls for conceptualizing family structure as a social determinant of health and continued investment in women's health
Military service and sociodemographic determinants of depressive symptom trajectories
Longitudinal associations between popularity, peer acceptance, and academic performance in adolescents
Longitudinal associations between popularity, peer acceptance, and academic performance were examined in Chinese 7th ( n = 880; 400 girls; M age = 13.33, SD = .64) and 10th grade ( n = 646; 342 girls; M age = 16.76, SD = .75) adolescents across three academic years. Growth curve analysis revealed parallel changes in popularity and academic performance in both middle- and high-school students whereas a positive association between the trajectories…
Measuring Physical Activity Regulatory Styles and Identity Among Adults 55 Years or Older
Objectives. The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of modified versions of the Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire and Exercise Identity Scale for use with adults ages ≥55 years to measure regulatory styles and identity related to physical activity. Methods. Participants [ M age = 66.29 years ( SD = 7.06)] answered an online questionnaire twice across a four-week timescale. We assessed measurement invaria…
Engineering Play, Mathematics, and Spatial Skills in Children with and without Disabilities
Research Findings: Engineering play is a new framework for understanding constructive block building as a design process. The current study examined associations between engineering play with wooden unit blocks and mathematics and spatial skills of children with and without disabilities. Participants included 110 preschoolers (44% female; 25% children with disabilities), ages 49–72 months (M = 58.47, SD = 4.46), from the Midwest United States. A …

Adolescents’ experience of parental psychological caregiving and neglect: Construct development
Psychological or emotional neglect is a recognized form of child maltreatment in the United States. However, neglect as a form of maltreatment and particularly psychological neglect as a subtype are understudied relative to other forms of maltreatment. One reason for this is that few measures of psychological (or emotional) neglect are available and there remains some uncertainty about how to define and measure it. In this article, we put forth a…
Emotion expression, avoidance and psychological health during reintegration: A dyadic analysis of actor and partner associations within a sample of military couples
We evaluated the extent to which military service members' and their significant others' coping strategies (i.e., individual use of emotion expression and avoidance) were independently associated with their own-and each other's-psychological health during reintegration using an actor-partner interdependence model. We simultaneously evaluated actor associations (e.g., associations between service members' own coping and psychological health) and p…
Predicting growth trajectories in early academic learning: Evidence from growth curve modeling with Head Start children
Accumulation of Risk and Promotive Factors Among Young Children in US Military Families
In the families of the new cohort of war veterans now entering the civilian population in the United States are over two million young children (Cozza, Haskins & Lerner, 2013; Institute of Medicine, 2013). Several noteworthy studies have shown that children exposed to separation from a parent due to combat‐related deployment are at elevated risk for a variety of negative consequences (Lester & Flake, 2013). Cozza et al. (2013) argue that existing…

The effects of a psychosocial dimension of socioeconomic position on survival: Occupational prestige and mortality among US working adults
The association between education or income and mortality has been explored in great detail. These measures capture both the effects of material disadvantage on health and the psychosocial impacts of a low socioeconomic position on health. When explored independently of educational attainment and income, occupational prestige - a purely perceptual measure - serves as a measure of the impact of a psychosocial phenomenon on health. For instance, a …
Arthritis, Occupational Class, and the Aging US Workforce
Objectives. The working poor sometimes delay retirement to survive. However, their higher risk of disease and disability threatens both their financial survival and their ability to work through the retirement years. We used the burden of disease attributable to arthritis by occupational class to illustrate the challenges faced by the older poor. Methods. We merged data from the National Health Interview Survey, Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, …

Sensory Impairment Among Older US Workers
We used 1997–2004 National Health Interview Survey data to evaluate the prevalence of sensory impairment among US workers 65 years and older. Hearing impairment prevalence was 3 times that of visual impairment (33.4% vs 10.2%), and 38% of older workers reported experiencing either impairment. Farm operators, mechanics, and motor vehicle operators had the highest prevalence of sensory impairment. Workplace screening and accommodations, including s…
Cancer Screening in US Workers
Regular cancer screening can prevent the development of some cancers and increase patient survival for other cancers. We evaluated the reported cancer screening prevalence among a nationally representative sample of all US workers with data from the 2000 and 2005 Cancer Screening Supplements of the National Health Interview Survey. Overall, workers with the lowest rates of health insurance coverage (in particular, Hispanic workers, agricultural w…
Attitudes toward Out-of-Home Care over 18 Months: Changing Perceptions of Youths in Foster Care
This article seeks to uncover children's evolving views of placement and to delineate characteristics associated with positive and negative attitude change over time. The authors used a subsample drawn from the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being. The subsample of 290 youths age seven and older who had been in out-of-home placement during the first 18 months of this study was analyzed by using latent transition analysis (LTA) to un…
Child Welfare Worker Characteristics and Job Satisfaction: A National Study
The education, recruitment, training, and retention of a quality child welfare workforce is critical to the successful implementation of public policy and programs for the nation's most vulnerable children. Yet, national information about child welfare workers has never been collected. The National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being is a study of children who are investigated for child maltreatment that also offers information about the ch…

Profile of children investigated for sexual abuse: Association with psychopathology symptoms and services
Sexually abused children may have poor mental health because of their victimization as well as preexisting or co-occurring family problems. However, few studies consider psychopathology in relation to both abuse and other family experiences. This study uses data from the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW) to create latent subgroups of 553 children investigated for sexual abuse. The study investigates children's psychologic…
Healthcare provider smoking cessation advice among US worker groups: Table 1
The relatively low reported prevalence of HCP initiated smoking cessation discussion, particularly among currently employed workers with potentially synergistic occupational exposures and high current smoking prevalence, needs to be addressed through educational campaigns targeting physicians and other HCPs
