Mourning the Experience of What Should Have Been”
If we build it, will they come? Results of a quasi-experimental study assessing the impact of maternity waiting homes on facility-based childbirth and maternity care in Zambia
INTRODUCTION: Maternity waiting homes (MWHs) aim to increase access to maternity and emergency obstetric care by allowing women to stay near a health centre before delivery. An improved MWH model was developed with community input and included infrastructure, policies and linkages to health centres. We hypothesised this MWH model would increase health facility delivery among remote-living women in Zambia. METHODS: We conducted a quasi-experimenta…
Social Status
Social status is one's position in the social hierarchy. Social status can be based on one's level of achievement or ascriptive characteristics. Some social theories propose that social status is not simply based on economic resources but involves other social processes that are not driven by market forces. Future research on social status will need to consider new forms of social media that have an influence on one's location in the social hiera…
Functional Theory of Stratification
The functional theory of stratification provided by Kingsley Davis and Wilbert Moore suggests that social inequalities are functional for society because they provide an incentive for the most talented individuals to occupy jobs that are essential to the orderly maintenance of a society. Critics of Davis and Moore's theory suggest that stratification actually undermines the stability within a society due to unequal access to opportunities, the di…
Competitive sports participation in high school and subsequent substance use in young adulthood
The objective of this study is to examine how participation in different types of competitive sports (based on level of contact) during high school is associated with substance use 1 to 4 years after the 12th grade. The analysis uses nationally representative samples of 12th graders from the Monitoring the Future Study, who were followed 1 to 4 years after the 12th grade. The longitudinal sample consisted of 970 12th graders from six recent cohor…
Gender, Academics, and Interscholastic Sports Participation at the School Level
While literature demonstrates that interscholastic sports participation is associated with positive academic outcomes, this relationship is rarely analyzed at a macro-level (the school-level). To date, there is no research examining whether increases in schools' female and male interscholastic sports participation rates is associated with increases in female and male AP enrollment rates. Using a national sample of 4,644 public high schools during…
Alcohol and Violence
Does alcohol cause violence? From personal experience, I would say yes! The majority of physical altercations that I have been in during my life have involved alcohol (in fact, all of my illegal physical altercations have involved alcohol). However, was alcohol the cause of these violent outbursts (i.e., assaulting another person)? Setting personal experiences aside, it would appear that this causal relationship has some empirical validity since …
Race, sport and social support
There is a substantial theoretical literature arguing that African American families, more than other ethnic groups, push their children towards sports. However, there is a dearth of generalizable empirical research examining whether African American families do in fact encourage their children to participate in sport more than families of other ethnic groups do, or whether families encourage their youth more than non-kin, such as teachers, coach…
Interscholastic Sports Participation and School Based Delinquency
This article uses social control and cultural spillover theories to frame how sports programs might impact the school environment. Using a nationally representative sample of roughly 1,200 public high schools, the relationship between school sports participation rates and in-school delinquent behaviors are examined. Results indicate that schools with higher proportions of sports participants report significantly fewer serious crimes (i.e., violen…
Athletics as a Source for Social Status among Youth
This study examines sport as a source for youth popularity, and its variation by gender, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status and grade level, using a nationally representative U.S. sample of 2,185 3rd—12th graders. Results indicate athletes are more likely than nonathletes to report self-perceived popularity equally across gender, socioeconomic status, and grade. Black athletes are less likely to report self-perceived popularity than Whites. Whe…
Does Children's Academic Achievement Improve when Single Mothers Marry
Promoting marriage, especially among low-income single mothers with children, is increasingly viewed as a promising public policy strategy for improving developmental outcomes for disadvantaged children. Previous research suggests, however, that children's academic achievement either does not improve or declines when single mothers marry. In this article, the authors argue that previous research may understate the benefits of mothers' marriages t…
