Validation of a Brief Screening Instrument for Chemical Intolerance in a Large U.S. National Sample
Chemical intolerance may affect one in five people in the U.S. The BREESI is a new, practical instrument for researchers, clinicians, and epidemiologists. As a screening tool, the BREESI offers a high degree of confidence in case ascertainment. We recommend: screen with the BREESI, confirm with the QEESI
Exportation and Validation of Latent Constructs for Dementia Case Finding in a Mexican American Population–based Cohort
It is possible to export δ composites from populations to well-characterized cohorts for validation
Explaining Low Rates of Autism Among Hispanic Schoolchildren in Texas
In data from the Texas Educational Agency and the Health Resources and Services Administration, we found fewer autism diagnoses in school districts with higher percentages of Hispanic children. Our results are consistent with previous reports of autism rates 2 to 3 times as high among non-Hispanic Whites as among Hispanics. Socioeconomic factors failed to explain lower autism prevalence among Hispanic schoolchildren in Texas. These findings raise…

School District Resources and Identification of Children With Autistic Disorder
Objectives. We estimated the effect of community and school district resources on the identification of children with autistic disorder. Methods. Latent growth curve regression models were applied to school district–level data from one large state. Results. The rate of identification of autistic disorder increased on average by 1.0 child per 10000 per year (P Conclusions. District revenue was associated with higher proportions of children identif…
Interview versus Self-Answer Methods of Assessing Health and Emotional Functioning in Primary Care Patients
The present study examined differences in health and emotional functioning when two different methods of gathering self-report data were used. Of 80 primary care patients who did not meet screening criteria for a psychiatric diagnosis, 44 were randomly assigned to have an interviewer read assessment items and record the participants' responses, and 36 were randomly assigned to have an interviewer read the items and have participants record their …
Psychometric Assessment of Measures of Psychological Symptoms, Functional Status, Life Events, and Context for Low Income Hispanic Patients in a Primary Care Setting
This study assessed the psychometric properties of a set of nine commonly used lists in an English-speaking Hispanic sample taken from a primary care setting. Those were the General Health Questionnaire-12, the Anxiety, Depression, and Somatization scales from the SCL-90, the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36, the Holmes and Rahe Family Life Changes, abbreviated versions of the Daily Hassles and Uplifts, the Herth Hope Index, Duke Social Suppo…
Drug-Injecting Street Youth
Homeless Youths' Descriptions of their Parents' Child-Rearing Practices
The families of runaway and homeless youth have been characterized as having high levels of parent-child conflict and distress. This study explored homeless youths' perceptions of their parents' child-rearing practices. Youth (N = 409) were recruited from street and service sites using a stratified probability sampling design. Factor analysis conducted with 23 parenting descriptors revealed four distinct parenting styles: Supportive/Emotionally A…
