Defining Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement Tasks in Health Data Research
BACKGROUND: Patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) is essential throughout the research cycle, but a one-size-fits-all approach does not suit all study types. Health data research presents several unique challenges, including ensuring data transparency and security. Thus, PPIE guidance should ideally define specific tasks to reduce the likelihood of tokenistic involvement. We therefore aimed to develop actionable, task-focused guida…
Systematic Review of Enrollment of Students With Disabilities in Charters Compared to Traditional Public Schools
There is a perception that charter schools in the United States enroll students with disabilities at a lower rate than traditional public schools despite federal laws that require charter schools to provide the same services as traditional public schools.

The main purpose of this study was to develop a measure of attitudes toward various forms of IPV. The secondary purpose was to examine Mexican American and non-Hispanic White college students’ attitudes toward IPV. Data from a sample of 333 predominantly Mexican Am…

For Love and Money
In traditional foster care, the child welfare system has generally pitted foster mothers and natural mothers against each other as "good" and "bad" mothers, according to the prevailing ideologies about motherhood.
