Combined nutrition and psychosocial stimulation intervention for child development in rural China: The Role of Parental Resources
Early childhood interventions played a critical role in improving child development in impoverished contexts. Combined nutrition and psychosocial stimulation interventions (CNPSI) have shown more benefits than stand-alone supplemental nutrition interventions (SNI) in many developing countries. Based on a cluster randomized controlled trial in rural northwestern China, this study tested alternative theory-driven hypotheses regarding how primary ca…
Race/Ethnicity and Traumatic Brain Injury: Are There Disparities in Positive Screenings and Diagnoses Among Service Members Returning From Afghanistan and Iraq
The authors examine racial/ethnic differences in screening positive for traumatic brain injury (TBI) and in diagnosis among service members upon returning from war in Afghanistan and Iraq. Using data from the Post-Deployment Health Assessment and Re-Assessment, and military health-care encounters from 2008 to 2009, they estimate logistic regressions in a sample of 46,488 service members. Hispanic and Asian service members do not differ from White…
The Impact of Deployment on Parental, Family and Child Adjustment in Military Families
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…

Auxiliary Variables in Multiple Imputation When Data Are Missing Not at Random
Most current implementations of multiple imputation (MI) assume that data are missing at random (MAR), but this assumption is generally untestable. We performed analyses to test the effects of auxiliary variables on MI when the data are missing not at random (MNAR) using simulated data and real data. In the analyses we varied (a) the correlation, (b) the level of missing data, (c) the pattern of missing data, and (d) sample size. Results showed t…
The Effects of Auxiliary Variables on Coefficient Bias and Efficiency in Multiple Imputation
Current research on multiple imputation suggests that including auxiliary variables in the imputation model may increase the accuracy and efficiency of coefficient estimation, yet few studies have actually tested this principle for regression analysis. This article uses data from the 2008 General Social Survey to present results from simulations that vary in three respects: (a) three types of auxiliary variables (variables related to the mechanis…
Modeling Longitudinal Count Data: Testing for Group Differences in Growth Trajectories Using Average Marginal Effects
To test for group differences in growth trajectories in mixed (fixed and random effects) models, researchers frequently interpret the coefficient of Group-by-Time product terms. While this practice is straightforward in linear mixed models, it is less so in generalized linear mixed models. Using both an empirical example and synthetic data, we show that the coefficient of Group-by-Time product terms in a specific class of mixed models-mixed Poiss…

Self-Reported Experiences of Racial Discrimination and Black–White Differences in Preterm and Low-Birthweight Deliveries: The Cardia Study
Self-reported experiences of racial discrimination were associated with preterm and low-birthweight deliveries, and such experiences may contribute to Black-White disparities in perinatal outcomes
Legacy Volunteering: A Test of Two Theories of Intergenerational Transmission
Sociological theory suggests two reasons that volunteering runs in families. The first is that parents act as role models. The second is that parents who volunteer pass on the socioeconomic resources needed to do volunteer work. Panel data from two generations of women (N = 1,848) are analyzed to see how much influence family socioeconomic status and mother's volunteering have on daughter's volunteer careers. More highly educated women and women …
Prevalence and Development of Psychiatric Disorders in Childhood and Adolescence
BACKGROUND: This longitudinal community study assessed the prevalence and development of psychiatric disorders from age 9 through 16 years and examined homotypic and heterotypic continuity. METHODS: A representative population sample of 1420 children aged 9 to 13 years at intake were assessed annually for DSM-IV disorders until age 16 years. RESULTS: Although 3-month prevalence of any disorder averaged 13.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 11.7%-1…
I Am Woman: The Impact of Social Identities on African American Women's Mental Health
We examine the psychological impact of a range of social identities among a sample of African American women. Using data from the National Survey of Black Americans (NSBA), we find that measures of body image, role performance, discrimination, and social class position are related to mental health status. Women of lower social class standing are especially at risk for poor mental health outcomes. Having low educational attainment, low personal in…
