Evaluating and shaping early childhood policy in New Mexico: Using kindergarteners’ developmental health as a population health measure
Findings indicate generally positive developmental health among New Mexico kindergarteners, yet significant disparities persist across demographic and neighborhood lines. The integration of bold policy reforms with a statewide developmental assessment represents a promising model for monitoring population health and identifying opportunities for targeted early childhood prevention and early intervention supports
Unveiling early childhood health inequities by age five through the national neighborhood equity index and the early development instrument
There is growing public urgency to close equity gaps in health and development by addressing inequities at multiple levels of children's developmental ecosystems. Current measurement strategies obscure the dynamic structural and relational patterns of oppression, adversity, and disadvantage that children can experience in their local intimate developmental ecosystem, as well as the leverage points that are necessary to change them. The purpose of…
Income is not an equalizer: Health development inequities by ethnoracial backgrounds in California kindergartners
This study examines health development inequities among California kindergarteners in diverse communities. Our analysis shows that the relationship between neighborhood-level income and kindergartners' health development varies by domain and is weaker for students of color. Given the scarcity of population-level data on health development outcomes, these analyses offer valuable insights for identifying ecosystems necessitating support in promotin…
The kindergarten Early Development Instrument predicts third grade academic proficiency
Early Child Development, Residential Crowding, and Commute Time in 8 US States, 2010–2017
Objectives. To examine relationships of residential crowding and commute time with early child development. Methods. We used the Early Development Instrument (EDI), a teacher-reported, population-health measure of child development. The sample included child-level observations spanning 8 US states from 2010 to 2017 (n = 185 012), aggregated to the census tract (n= 2793), stratified by percentage of households in poverty. To test the association o…
