Trends in 4th−12th grade students' aerobic capacity and muscular strength and endurance
Background Systematically monitoring youth fitness over time is critical for designing and implementing policies and interventions to maintain/increase youth fitness and reduce the burden of non-communicable disease. This study describes trends in student fitness over school years 2006/07–2018/19, the longest period for which US-based data are available. Methods This observational, longitudinal study uses 13 years of population-weighted data from…
Asthma management in schools
Asthma is a leading chronic condition among school-aged children and a major driver of absenteeism. Since attendance is linked to academic success, graduation, and earnings, interventions reducing asthma-related absences may improve educational trajectories. We evaluate a program that placed asthma case managers in New York City public schools to engage directly with students and families. Using novel linked health-education data and a triple-dif…
Depressive Symptoms, Emergency Care, and School Climate
BACKGROUND: As rates of depression and anxiety continue to rise, prevention, and treatment of poor mental health in adolescents is a major challenge for population health. Within the US context, a growing body of literature is examining the relationship between school climate and student mental health. METHODS: We extend the notion of school climate and mesosystem effects by creating an emergency department visit intensity, a novel indirect summa…
Data Missingness and Equity Implications in the Nation's Largest Student Fitness Surveillance System
BACKGROUND: Data missingness can bias interpretation and outcomes resulting from data use. We describe data missingness in the longest-standing US-based youth fitness surveillance system (2006/07-2019/20). METHODS: This observational study uses the New York City FITNESSGRAM (NYCFG) database from 1,983,629 unique 4th-12th grade students (9,147,873 student-year observations) from 1756 schools. NYCFG tests for aerobic capacity, muscular strength, an…
Dismantling Stereotypes About Being Top, Versatile, or Bottom
Many sexual minority men (SMM) use sex position self-labels, including "top," "bottom," "versatile," as well as combinations like "vers/top" and "vers/bottom" to describe engagement in anal intercourse. Despite the use of these labels, there is limited literature identifying various aspects that may impact SMM's chosen sex position label. The purpose of this study was to examine factors (i.e. sexual behavior, participants' anthropomorphic charact…
Health and Access to Gender-Affirming Care During Covid-19
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, global research has suggested that the pandemic has negatively affected lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning (LGBTQ) populations, including by limiting health care access. There is little research on the impact of COVID-19 among transmasculine persons and men assigned female sex at birth (AFAB) in the United States, who face unique health care challenges outside of the pandemic co…
