Associations among positive child health measures in the environmental influences on child health outcomes (Echo) cohort
Socio‐ecological domains and adolescent mental health
Comprehensive assessment of mental health includes wellbeing and psychopathology. Using the dual-factor model of mental health, this study explored associations between socioecological domains and mental health profiles and subsequent moderations by sex, race and ethnicity, and age. Cross-sectional data were from the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Cohort (N = 2826). Adolescents were 11-17 years old (mean age 14.4 ± 2.1),…
Airborne Lead Exposure and Childhood Cognition
Objectives. To examine whether a previously reported association between airborne lead exposure and children’s cognitive function replicates across a geographically diverse sample of the United States. Methods. Residential addresses of children ( Results. An IQR increase in airborne lead was associated with a 0.74-point lower mean IQ score (b = −0.74; 95% confidence interval = −1.00, −0.48). The association between lead and EF was nonlinear and w…
Effects of Covid-19 Financial and Social Hardships on Infants’ and Toddlers’ Development in the Echo Program
Negative developmental changes from pre- to during-pandemic were found in boys, yet we did not find any associations between increased experience of pandemic-related hardships and children's development. E how pandemic hardships affect development using a larger sample size and with longer follow-up is warranted
Return of Individual Research Results
The last decade has witnessed growing calls for the return of individual research results. Prior work in genetic studies has shown that individual, contextual, and cultural factors influence participants' preferences for individual research results. There is a gap in knowledge about participants' views about other types of results, specifically those lacking clinical significance. This study investigates the perspectives of 1587 mothers enrolled …
Ethical and Legal Challenges During the Covid‐19 Pandemic
Emerging zoonotic infections are a major threat to public health. The current outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is already overwhelming health care systems across the globe.1, 2 At the time of this writing it has already spread to 181 countries involving close to 1 million patients.3 Health care resources including ventilators, dialysis machines, ECMO machines, and personal protective equipment (PPE) are finite. In the United States…
Paid maternal leave is associated with better language and socioemotional outcomes during toddlerhood
The United States is the only high‐income country that does not have a national policy mandating paid leave to working women who give birth. Increased rates of maternal employment post‐birth call for greater understanding of the effects of family leave on infant development. This study examined the links between paid leave and toddler language, cognitive, and socioemotional outcomes (24–36 months; N = 328). Results indicate that paid leave was as…
Exposure to Medicines in the Family Medicine Cabinet
Background: Despite research on prescription opioids and dependence being a national priority, little is known about the association between several potential adolescent risk factors and later opioid dependence among those who use opioids non-medically. Objectives: To investigate the association between lifetime opioid dependence and adolescent self-perceived health, health beliefs (thinking there was a pill for everything), health behaviors (ons…
Better sleep, better life? How sleep quality influences children’s life satisfaction
The Collaborative Research Center for American Indian Health's Partnership River of Life
In 2012, the National Institutes of Health funded the Collaborative Research Center for American Indian Health (CRCAIH) to work toward two broad goals: 1) to build tribal research infrastructure, and 2) to increase research on social determinants of health in American Indian communities. As the introduction to this special issue of American Indian and Alaska Native Mental Health Research, we highlight results from the Partnership River of Life ev…
Cost’ calculations as a barrier to gaining information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 from the police in England and Wales
Previous research has identified the methodological value of using the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) to gain access to information held by the police, as well as its limitations. Very little attention, however, has been paid to the ways in which the police calculate the cost of FOI compliance and utilise cost exemptions to deny access to information. In this article, we present our empirical findings from our FOI requests made to the pol…
Social Capital Associated with Quality of Life Mediated by Employment Experiences
Home Environment, But Not Socioeconomic Status, is Linked to Differences in Early Phonetic Perception Ability
Infants perceptually tune to the phonemes of their native languages in the first year of life, thereby losing the ability to discriminate non‐native phonemes. Infants who perceptually tune earlier have been shown to develop stronger language skills later in childhood. We hypothesized that socioeconomic disparities, which have been associated with differences in the quality and quantity of language in the home, would contribute to individual diffe…
Ethics Review for a Multi-Site Project Involving Tribal Nations in the Northern Plains
Increasingly, Tribal Nations are forming ethics review panels, which function separately from institutional review boards (IRBs). The emergence of strong community representation coincides with a widespread effort supported by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and other federal agencies to establish a single IRB for all multi-site research. This article underscores the value of a tribal ethics review board and describes the tribal ov…
Fostering Social Determinants of Health Transdisciplinary Research
The Collaborative Research Center for American Indian Health (CRCAIH) was established in September 2012 as a unifying structure to bring together tribal communities and health researchers across South Dakota, North Dakota and Minnesota to address American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) health disparities. CRCAIH is based on the core values of transdisciplinary research, sustainability and tribal sovereignty. All CRCAIH resources and activities revo…
