Parental spanking and subsequent risk for child aggression in father-involved families of young children
Ethnic Group and Temporal Influences of Social Norms
This study tests the influence of ethnic group and temporal influences of descriptive and injunctive norms on adolescent smoking behavior. A panel of high school students (N = 1,607) completed a self-administered survey in the 9th grade and again in the 12th grade. Fixed effects hierarchical regression analyses indicated that the influence of descriptive and injunctive norms was greater at the 12th grade than at the 9th grade. While salient descr…
Caring for the caregiver
HIV and AIDS have altered the context in which millions of children in sub-Saharan Africa are raised. Many are under the care of a widowed or ill parent, and others are residing with their extended family. Caregivers of orphans and other vulnerable children (OVC) face a variety of stressors that may adversely affect children. This study explores potential benefits of caregivers' membership in support groups on their own psychosocial wellbeing, an…

Implementation of a mental health consultation model and its impact on early childhood teachers' efficacy and competence
Early childhood mental health (MH) consultants work closely with childcare teachers onsite to serve as a resource for childcare providers as they foster and enhance children's early development. The increase in the quality of care that can be supported through an early childhood MH consultation program makes this type of consultation an optimal tool for enhancing the childcare environment and overall child development. This article details the in…
The Effects of Hurricane Katrina on Food Access Disparities in New Orleans
Disparities in neighborhood food access are well documented, but little research exists on how shocks influence such disparities. We examined neighborhood food access in New Orleans at 3 time points: before Hurricane Katrina (2004–2005), in 2007, and in 2009. We combined existing directories with on-the-ground verification and geographic information system mapping to assess supermarket counts in the entire city. Existing disparities for African A…

Predictors of Adopting Motivational Enhancement Therapy
Substance abuse counselors have shown limited success in adopting evidence-based practices (EBPs). The purpose of this paper is to identify the barriers and facilitators of adopting an EBP called motivational enhancement therapy (MET). One hundred thirty-six predominantly female (60%) African American (68%) addiction counselors representing over 40 agencies completed surveys before and after participating in a 2-day MET training. Based on stepwis…
The Ubiquity of Energy-Dense Snack Foods
Objectives. We assessed the availability and accessibility of energy-dense snacks in retail stores whose primary merchandise was not food and whether these varied by store type, region, or socioeconomic factors. Methods. We conducted systematic observations of 1082 retail stores in 19 US cities and determined the availability and accessibility of 6 categories of energy-dense snack foods. Results. Snack food was available in 41% of the stores; the…
Impact of a mentoring program on psychosocial wellbeing of youth in Rwanda
Addressing the psychosocial needs of vulnerable children and youth is viewed increasingly as a priority of humanitarian programs, particularly in Africa, where the scale of the problem necessitates community-based solutions. This quasi-experimental study tested a model of adult mentorship and support to improve psychosocial outcomes among youth-headed households in a rural area of Rwanda. Two rounds of data were collected from youth who served as…

Log‐Linear Models
Log‐linear modeling is a data analysis technique used to explore relationships among categorical variables. Log‐linear models express the logarithms of the expected cell frequencies from a multiway contingency table as a linear combination of the variables and their interactions. The simplest models yield a test equivalent to the chi square test of independence, but the technique allows exploration of relationships among more than two variables. …
Skewed Contraceptive Method Mix
Contraceptive prevalence has been central to family planning research over the past few decades, but researchers have given surprisingly little consideration to method mix, a proxy for method availability or choice. There is no ‘ideal’ method mix recognized by the international community; however, there may be reason for concern when one or two methods predominate in a given country. In this article method skew is operationally defined as a singl…
Reassessing the Level of Unintended Pregnancy and Its Correlates in Vietnam
Despite rapidly increasing contraceptive use and rapidly declining fertility, unintended pregnancy and induced abortion remain common in Vietnam. This study reassesses the level of unintended pregnancy in Vietnam and its correlates, drawing on retrospective calendar data gathered for the Vietnam Demographic and Health Survey II. Data from 13,540 “segments” of outcomes and contraceptive practice were analyzed. Based on the calendar data, 40 percen…
Application of Computer-assisted Interviews to Sexual Behavior Research
Collection of sensitive data with the use of video-enhanced, computer-assisted, self-administered interviews (V-CASI) has the potential to reduce interview bias and improve the validity of the study. The purpose of this study was to compare responses to sensitive questions elicited by V-CASI and by face-to-face interview (FTFI) methods. Women attending a New Orleans, Louisiana, public family planning or sexually transmitted disease clinic from Ju…
Implementation of condom social marketing in Louisiana, 1993 to 1996
OBJECTIVES: This article describes the implementation and impact of the first statewide condom social marketing intervention in the United States. METHODS: A statewide social marketing program made condoms freely available in 93 public health clinics, 39 community mental health centers, 29 substance abuse treatment sites, and more than 1000 businesses in neighborhoods with high rates of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and HIV. Surveys about …

Smoking Control and Smoking Rate
Amount of control of smoking at three comparable chemical plants was associated with smoking rates. Using a self-report survey, smoking rates were assessed at the three plants. Company authorities were asked about smoking control policy and the extent to which smoking was controlled at each of the three plants was observed. A judgment was made that one plant had a very strict smoking control policy while the other two had moderate policies of con…
Predicting In-Hospital Survival of Myocardial Infarction
This study reports on the ability of several indices to predict in-hospital survival from acute myocardial infarction. The following indices were included: Acute Physiological and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II), Medisgroups (MDGRP), Computerized Severity Index (CSI), Patient Management Categories (PMC), Coded Disease Staging (CDS), Ischemic Heart Disease Index (IHDI), and Predictive Index for Myocardial Infarction (PIMI). An arbitrary stra…
Appraisal of Modifiable Hospitalization Risks
Nine prevention experts rated hospitalization risks of 64 hypothetical healthy adults between 20 and 65 years old. There was substantial agreement among seven out of the nine experts. Pairwise correlations between any two of the experts ranged between 0.66 and 0.86. Decision analytic tools were used to model the average of the experts' ratings. The panel of experts provided us with the factors used, the relationship between the factors, and the r…
Hospital falls
During a 22-month period in 1981-82, 250 falls were recorded at a 152-bed acute care specialty hospital in a United States metropolitan area. Rates were highest for patients age 65 years and older and for patients admitted with mental disorders. Patients who had fallen once had a subsequent fall rate of 91.7 per 1,000 patients compared to an overall rate of 18.7 for first falls. Half the falls occurred in or enroute to the private bathroom attach…
