Transgender and Gender-Diverse Children’s Health Care Experiences With Parents
We conducted a qualitative metasummary of studies with qualitative findings from transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) child participants. We created this report as a resource that health care providers can use to improve and enhance the health care–related services that they offer to TGD children and the children’s accompanying parents. We used the qualitative metasummary method to identify relevant peer-reviewed articles with qualitative data co…
An examination of disconnected youth participation and outcomes in US Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Title I Youth Programs
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014 authorizes programs targeting marginalized youth. However, no peer‐reviewed studies have used national data to examine participation and outcomes specifically for disconnected youth (DY).

We employed a qualita…
Another Side of Waiver Federalism

Yet existing scholarship focuses on large and highly salient programs, potentially limiting our understanding of implementation dynamics. This study, by contrast, examines “small” waivers in a low-salience policy context: the Workforce Inno…
