Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Non-Fatal Self-Inflicted Firearm Injuries Among Adults in the United States, 2000–2021
Nonfatal self-inflicted firearm injuries represent an important and understudied public health concern in the United States. We analyzed nationally representative data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System–Firearm Injury Surveillance Study (NEISS-FISS), 2000–2021, to characterize nonfatal self-inflicted firearm injuries among U.S. adults aged 18–64 years. Emergency department (ED) narratives were combined using text mining and a…
Patterns of Family Harsh Parenting and the Effects of Cumulative Risks
This study examines patterns of harsh parenting within families and explores the associations between cumulative risks and these patterns. Drawing on data from the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study collecting data from 20 large cities across the United States, latent profile analysis was utilized to identify distinct profiles of maternal and paternal harsh parenting behaviours among 2175 families with 9‐year‐old children. Three profile…
Spatial Patterns of Opioid Overdose Mortality Risk Across Urban, Transitional, and Rural Communities Using Satellite-Derived and Socioeconomic Indicators
Geographic differences in drug overdose patterns across the rural-urban continuum are well documented. Few studies utilize remote sensing data to assess environmental and structural factors influencing overdose risk across different geographic scales. We performed a retrospective ecological study analyzing fatal opioid overdoses within census block groups in Cook County, Illinois, from 2018 to 2023. Urbanicity was classified using the Global Huma…
Rethinking Parental Risk Factors of Harsh Parenting
Harsh parenting poses significant risks to children's emotional, cognitive and behavioural development. This study examines the interplay of maternal and paternal risk factors for harsh parenting through psychometric network analysis, emphasizing their interconnectedness within family systems. Data from the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study, collected in 20 large cities across the USA, were analysed to construct separate networks for m…
Characteristics of Parents Who Spent Time Away from Home During Stay-at-Home Orders and Relation to Parenting Behaviors in Ohio
The land cover paradox
The findings reveal that the mental health impacts of environmental features are context-dependent and spatially patterned. While access to green and blue space may offer protective effects, these benefits are not uniformly experienced across urban neighborhoods. Suicide prevention efforts should consider not only individual and socioeconomic risk factors, but also spatial disparities in environmental quality and neighborhood-level disadvantage
Emotional and Physical Symptoms Following Intimate Partner Violence Victimization in the United States
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a public health issue that produces significant psychological and physiological consequences. This exploratory descriptive study examines whether sustaining a serious injury increases the likelihood that IPV survivors experience emotional and physical symptoms. We analyzed nonfatal violence by an intimate partner reported in the U.S. National Crime Victimization Survey (2009-2023) and applied survey-adjusted log…
Spatial accessibility to gun violence exposure on walkable routes to and from school
This study investigates the spatial accessibility of gun violence exposure along walkable routes to and from schools in Englewood, Chicago. Focusing on both direct and indirect forms of gun violence, the study uses acoustic detection technology to quantify the cumulative burden of gun violence exposure potentially encountered by students during their commute to and from school. We examined the spatial distribution of shooting incidents in proximi…
Uncovering Spatial Patterns of Residential Settlements, Segregation, and Vulnerability of Urban Seniors Using Geospatial Analytics and Modeling Techniques
We harnessed the analytical power of geospatial analysis and modeling techniques, pioneering a novel approach to studying the spatial distribution of households with at least one senior aged 65 or over, known as senior households (SHHs). We developed and implemented a spatial modeling approach that disaggregates the senior household counts obtained from the U.S. Census block data to residential land parcels. This innovative method models the seni…
Material Hardship, Labor Market Characteristics and Substantiated Child Maltreatment
Adverse Childhood Experiences, Women Who Are Sex Trafficked, and Social Service Utilization
The aim of this study was to examine the associations between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and the high levels of social service usage by women who are sex trafficked. Fifty (N = 50) women who were sex trafficked were surveyed using purposive and snowball sampling methods. The ACEs score for respondents ranged from 2 to 10 with an average score of 7.4 (SD = 2.3). Emotional and sexual abuse tied at 88 percent as the most frequently cited A…
Early Child Adversity and Delinquent Behavior in Foster Care Youth
Gun Violence on Walkable Routes to and from School
Variability in Opioid-Related Drug Overdoses, Social Distancing, and Area-Level Deprivation during the Covid-19 Pandemic
A network analysis of post-traumatic stress among youth aging out of the foster care system
Dual trajectories of parenting self‐efficacy and depressive symptoms in new, postpartum mothers and socioemotional adjustment in early childhood
Postpartum depression and low parental self‐efficacy (PSE) are risk factors for poor child behavior. Little is known, however, about the course of dual trajectories of cooccurring depressive symptoms and PSE or its impact on children's socioemotional development. This study sought to identify trajectories of postpartum PSE and depressive symptoms in new, first‐time mothers using growth mixture modeling. Results demonstrated a class of women with …
Cognitive readiness to parent, stability and change in postpartum parenting stress and social-emotional problems in early childhood
