The Yasi in Juvenile Court: A Research Note on Judges’ Perceptions and Implementation Needs
This pilot study explores judges’ perceptions of the Youth Assessment and Screening Instrument (YASI), a risk and needs assessment tool used in juvenile court disposition decisions. Survey data from 42 judges across three U.S. states reveal that while judges view these tools as beneficial for standardizing evaluations and supporting rehabilitation efforts, they expressed concerns that overreliance could overlook individual circumstances and may n…
Are Mandated Reporting Policies Contributing to Disparities in Child Welfare? A Discussion of Their History and Unintended Consequences
Mandated reporting policies have expanded in scope and focus since their inception in the 1960s, though their effectiveness in protecting children is mixed. Researchers and advocates argue these policies may exacerbate racial disproportionalities in child welfare. This article presents select findings from a study examining the relationship between mandated reporting laws (State Child Abuse and Neglect [SCAN] Policies Database) and substantiation…

Exposure to Environmental Chemicals and Infertility Among US Reproductive-Aged Women
Environmental chemical exposure has been rising over the past few decades but its impact on fertility remains uncertain. We assessed exposures to 23 common chemicals across a range of sociodemographic characteristics and their relationship with self-reported infertility. The analytic sample was non-pregnant women aged 18-49 years without a history of hysterectomy or oophorectomy (n = 2579) from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey…
Mandated reporting policies and the detection of child abuse and neglect
Associations between Disability and Infertility among U.S. Reproductive-Aged Women
We aim to evaluate the association between self-reported disabilities and infertility and whether disabilities are associated with decreased likelihood of seeking infertility-related care. This US nationally representative cross-sectional analysis includes 3789 non-pregnant women aged 18-49 years without history of hysterectomy or oophorectomy (NHANES, 2013-2018). Disabilities and infertility were both self-reported in personal interviews with tr…
Violence, Trust, and Public Support for the Colombian Peace Agreement
Objective As peace agreements have increasingly been put to a popular vote in places such as Northern Ireland, South Sudan, and Colombia, there is a corresponding practical and theoretical interest in understanding what factors influence public opinion toward the peace? We contend that support for peace in Colombia, as in other postwar contexts, is most powerfully shaped by individuals’ assessments of two critical factors—the level of violence ex…
