‘It Was a Bit of a Now or Never Situation’: Experiences of Preconception Care and Support for Women With Multiple Long‐Term Health Conditions
INTRODUCTION: One in five women enters pregnancy with multiple long-term health conditions, which is associated with increased risks of adverse maternal and child outcomes. There is a lack of research exploring individuals' experiences of preconception care for these women, which is also reflected in existing guidelines that predominantly focus on single health conditions. This study aimed to explore experiences of preconception care and support …
Does Higher Quality Early Child Care Promote Low-Income Children’s Math and Reading Achievement in Middle Childhood?
Higher quality child care during infancy and early childhood (6–54 months of age) was examined as a moderator of associations between family economic status and children’s (N = 1,364) math and reading achievement in middle childhood (4.5–11 years of age). Low income was less strongly predictive of underachievement for children who had been in higher quality care than for those who had not. Consistent with a cognitive advantage hypothesis, higher …
Quality child care supports the achievement of low-income children: Direct and indirect pathways through caregiving and the home environment
Within-child associations between family income and externalizing and internalizing problems
Within-child associations between family income and child externalizing and internalizing problems were examined using longitudinal data from the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (2004a, 2004b; N=1,132). Variations in income effects were estimated as a function of whether families were poor, whether mothers were partnered, and the number of hours mothers and their partners were employed. On average, children had fewer externa…
The Employment Effects of a "Good Cause" Discharge Standard in Montana
With passage of a 1987 statute, Montana became the only state to adopt a "good cause" standard for discharge of employees with contracts of unspecified duration. The new statute was a legislative response to a series of Montana Supreme Court cases, starting in 1980, that gave otherwise at-will employees a broad right to sue for wrongful discharge. Estimating a policy intervention model using monthly time-series data on Montana employment, the aut…
Implications of Family Income Dynamics for Women’s Depressive Symptoms During the First 3 Years After Childbirth
Objectives. We examined within-person associations between changes in family income and women’s depressive symptoms during the first 3 years after childbirth. Methods. Data were analyzed for 1351 women (mean baseline age = 28.13 years) who participated in the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Study of Early Child Care. Nineteen percent of these women belonged to an ethnic minority, and 35% were poor at some time during the …
Rural isolation and the availability of hospital services
Maximum or Minimum Differentiation? Location Patterns of Retail Outlets
We empirically test implications from location theory using the location of Los Angeles-area gasoline stations in physical space and in the space of product attributes. We consider the effect of demand patterns, entry costs, and several proxies for competition on the tendency for a gasoline station to be physically located more or less closely to its competitors. Using an estimation procedure that controls for spatial autocorrelation and spatial …
Change in Family Income-to-Needs Matters More for Children with Less
Hierarchical linear modeling was used to model the dynamics of family income-to-needs for participants of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Study of Early Child Care (N= 1,364) from the time that children were 1 through 36 months of age. Associations between change in income-to-needs and 36-month child outcomes (i.e., school readiness, receptive language, expressive language, positive social behavior, and behavior probl…
