Age Bias, Missing Data, and Declining Response Rates in the National Youth Risk Behavior Survey and Their Influence on Estimates of Trends in Adolescent Sexual Experience, 2011–2023
Introduction The national Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) has experienced considerable declines in response rates, increases in missing data on sexual experience, and shifts in data collection – all of which raise questions about bias in estimates for sexual experience among US high school students. Methods We used weighted data from the YRBS for 2011–2023 (n = 110,409). We explored the impact of declining school and student response rates, mis…

Survival as a Function of Life Expectancy
It is well known that life expectancy can be expressed as an integral of the survival curve. The reverse - that the survival function can be expressed as an integral of life expectancy - is also true
Gender differences in attitudes toward Aids clinical trials among urban HIV-infected individuals from racial and ethnic minority backgrounds
Racial/ethnic minorities and women are under-represented in AIDS clinical trials (ACTs). We examined gender differences in willingness to participate in ACTs among urban HIV-infected individuals (N = 286). Sixty percent of participants were male, and most were from racial/ethnic minority backgrounds (55% African-American, 34% Latino/Hispanic, 11% White/other). Knowledge of ACTs was poor. Males and females did not differ substantially in their dis…
The relative tail of longevity and the mean remaining lifetime
Vaupel (1998) posed the provocative question, â When it comes to death, how do people and flies differ from Toyotas?â He suggested that as the force of natural selection diminishes with age, structural reliability concepts can be profitably used in mort
On stochastic comparisons of population age structures and life expectancies
Cohort measures, describing a lifetime random variable are easily and unambiguously obtained using standard tools. On the contrary, the lifetime random variable, and therefore life expectancy, for the period setting cannot be unambiguously defined with
