The CIRCLE Care Home Guide: A Co‐Designed Resource on LGBTQ+ Inclusion for Care Homes
BACKGROUND: Many older LGBTQ+ people still face discrimination in care home settings, and many care home staff do not have the knowledge required to provide LGBTQ+ inclusive care. Despite the availability of valuable resources on LGBTQ+ inclusion, its widespread use in social care practice in the United Kingdom is lacking. To address this issue, the current study presents a novel resource on LGBTQ+ inclusion co-designed by older LGBTQ+ people, ca…
“It empowered me to move my timeline forward”: First person thematically analysed accounts of a novel behavioural intervention to support status-sharing in young adults with perinatally acquired HIV i…
Young adults living with perinatally acquired HIV (PAH) face many stressors. Sharing one's status may help with coping with these challenges but there are no rigorously evaluated interventions to support HIV status sharing in this population. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of participants in a novel HIV status-sharing intervention guided by motivational interviewing. We used a cross-sectional, qualitative design. Ten young a…
Detecting Fake People in Historical Records
Data quality is a key input in efforts to link individuals across census records. We examine the extreme case of low data quality by identifying US census enumerators who fabricated entire families. We provide clear evidence of fake people included in the 1920 US Census for Homestead, Pennsylvania. We use the features of this case study to identify other places where information in the census may have been falsified. We develop an automated appro…

This article explores the handling of HIV/AIDS in the student community of Warwick University between 1987–1994. It investigates the perception, management, and navigation of the crisis within the context of student sexual health. The article draws on an extensive body of high-quality original research, particularly archived student newspapers, supplemented with further student union and university records deposited in the Modern Records Centre a…
Cultural Adaption, Translation, Preliminary Reliability and Validity of Key Psychological and Behavioural Measures for 18 to 25 Year-Olds Living with HIV in Uganda: A Multi-Stage Approach
HIV remains a significant public health issue among young adults living in Uganda. There is a need for reliable and valid measures of key psychological and behavioural constructs that are related to important outcomes for this population. We translated, adapted and tested the psychometric properties of questionnaires measuring HIV stigma, HIV disclosure cognitions and affect, antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence, social support, personal values…
Changes in parental gender preference in the USA: Evidence from 1850 to 2019
The Migration of Lynch Victims' Families, 1880–1930
We examine the relationship between the lynching of African Americans in the southern United States and subsequent county out-migration of the victims' surviving family members. Using U.S. census records and machine learning methods, we identify the place of residence for family members of Black individuals who were killed by lynch mobs between 1882 and 1929 in the U.S. South. Over the entire period, our analysis finds that lynch victims' family …
Breathing new life into death certificates: Extracting handwritten cause of death in the Life-M project
The demographic and epidemiological transitions of the past 200 years are well documented at an aggregate level. Understanding differences in individual and group risks for mortality during these transitions requires linkage between demographic data and detailed individual cause of death information. This paper describes the digitization of almost 185,000 causes of death for Ohio to supplement demographic information in the Longitudinal, Intergen…
The Effect of Wearable Activity Monitor Presence on Step Counts
Objective: In this study, we tested the effect of wearable activity monitors and tracking on physical activity over 2 weeks. Methods: Ninety young adults participated. Prior to initiation of the study, each participant was asked to download an iPhone app that tracked physical activity level (step counts) but were not told the app's purpose. Each participant was then randomly assigned to one of 3 groups (N=30/group): (1) measurement awareness, (2)…
A new strategy for linking U.S. historical censuses: A case study for the Ipums multigenerational longitudinal panel
This paper presents a probabilistic method of record linkage, developed using the U.S. full count censuses of 1900 and 1910 but applicable to many sources of digitized historical records. The method links records using a two-step approach, first establishing high confidence matches among men by exploiting a comprehensive set of individual and contextual characteristics. The method then proceeds to link both men and women by leveraging links betwe…

Stability Rates of Same-Sex Couples: With and Without Children
In contrast to earlier studies, several recent ones have claimed that stability rates among same-sex couples are similar to those of different-sex couples. This article reexamines these latest accounts and provides new evidence regarding stability rates using three large, nationally representative datasets from the United States and Canada. Confirming the earliest work, we find that same-sex couples are more likely to break up than different-sex …
Are Mothers and Fathers Interchangeable Caregivers
Recent debates about same-sex marriage have raised questions concerning the interchangeability of mothers and fathers. This paper provides three pieces of empirical evidence that highlight the distinct role that fathers and mothers play in the home. First, we use time-use data to show that fathers and mothers provide different amounts of time to their children regardless of who is the breadwinner in the household. Second, we show that men and wom…

Status Quo Bias in Ballot Wording
We examine the role of status quo bias in the ballot wording of social issues that affect the rights of minority groups. We test the salience of this framing bias by conducting an experiment that randomly assigns different ballot wordings for five policies across survey respondents. We find that status quo bias changes the percent of individuals who vote for the ballot measure by 5–8 percentage points with the least informed individuals being the…
Family Structure and Economic Success Across the Life Course
This paper examines the role that family structure plays in long-run economic outcomes across the life course. Using nearly 30 years of data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, we find that youths who grow up with both biological parents earn more income, work more hours each week and are more likely to be married themselves as adults, compared to children raised in single-parent families. Many of these differences continue to be…

A review of pornography use research: Methodology and results from four sources
The widespread electronic transmission of pornography allows for a variety of new data sources to objectively measure pornography use. Recent studies have begun to use these data to rank order US states by per capita online pornography use and to identify the determinants of pornography use at the state level. The aim of this paper is to compare two previous methodologies for evaluating pornography use by state, as well as to measure online porno…
How Much More XXX is Generation X Consuming? Evidence of Changing Attitudes and Behaviors Related to Pornography Since 1973
We use data from the General Social Survey (GSS) over a 40-year period (1973-2012) to evaluate changes in attitudes about pornography and pornography consumption among American young adults. One of the major challenges in making comparisons across birth generations is separating the effect of birth cohort from age and period effects. We use an intrinsic estimator to separately identify the effects of age, birth cohort, and time period using 40 ye…

Documenting Pornography Use in America: A Comparative Analysis of Methodological Approaches
Estimates of pornography use in the United States range widely. We explore the reasons for the variation in such estimates among U.S. adults using data from four different recent nationally representative samples-each of which asked a different type of question about pornography use. We attribute the notable variation in estimates to differences in question wording and answer options, and assert that a survey question asking respondents about the…

Pornography, Religion, and the Happiness Gap: Does Pornography Impact the Actively Religious Differently
Club good models developed by economists suggest that the club provides a benefit to members by fostering the provision of semi-public goods. In the case of religion, churches create enforcement mechanisms to reduce free riding. Consequently, the psychic costs of deviant activity should be higher for individuals who belong to religious groups with strong social norms. Data from the General Social Survey are used to examine whether the cost of usi…

Selection and the Marriage Premium for Infant Health
Previous research has found a positive relationship between marriage and infant health, but it is unclear whether this relationship is causal or a reflection of positive selection into marriage. We use multiple empirical approaches to address this issue. First, using a technique developed by Gelbach (2009) to determine the relative importance of observable characteristics, we show how selection into marriage has changed over time. Second, we cons…
Current Perceptions and Beliefs Among Incoming College Students Towards Foreign Language Study and Language Requirements
Opinions of foreign language study, as well as attitudes toward specific cultures and languages, influence student motivation and success. The purpose of the present study is to catalogue and report the perceptions and attitudes of recent incoming college students (freshman and transfer students) concerning foreign or second language (L2) study and foreign language requirements in a post‐9/11 context. The results offer insights into students' evo…

Gender Differences in the Response to Competition
To investigate whether men and women respond differently to competition and whether this response depends on the gender mix of the group, the author examines outcomes of the Mellon Foundation's Graduate Education Initiative, a competitive fellowship program instituted in 1991 that was aimed at increasing graduation rates and decreasing time to degree. Men's performance, as measured by time to candidacy, increased 10% in response to the program, w…

Parent-Child Quality Time: Does Birth Order Matter?
Using data from the American Time Use Survey, I find that a first-born child receives 20-30 more minutes of quality time each day with his or her parent than a second-born child of the same age from a similar family. The birth-order difference results from parents giving roughly equal time to each child at any point in time while the amount of parent-child quality time decreases as children get older. These results provide a plausible explanation…

An e‐learning framework for assessment (FREMA)
Assessment) project that aims at creating a Reference Model for the Assessment Domain and delivering it via a heavily interlinked Web site. Because the resulting network of resources (standards, projects, people, organisations, software, services and use cases) is so complex, we require a method of providing users with a structured navigational method that does not require them knowing at first what they might want to find. This led us to look at…

Setting Fifteen elementary schools from two school districts, one requiring students to place a fruit or vegetable on their…
Nontraditional Families and Childhood Progress Through School: A Comment on Rosenfeld
We reexamine Rosenfeld’s (2010) study on the association between child outcomes and same-sex family structure. Using the same data set, we replicate and generalize Rosenfeld’s findings and show that the implications of his study are different when using either alternative comparison groups or alternative sample restrictions. Compared with traditional married households, we find that children being raised by same-sex couples are 35 % less likely t…

What Matters in Movie Ratings? Cross-country Differences in how Content Influences Mature Movie Ratings
We examine the weight that the USA and other countries place on different types of movie content when assigning movies a mature rating. We use data on the international movie ratings for over 1,000 movies reviewed by either Screen It or Kids in Mind, two companies that provide measures of different types of movie content. Among English-speaking countries, the United States is unique in that, it places the most weight on profanity but the least we…
