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…
Early School Medicaid Expansions and Health Services for Children With Parental Opioid Use Disorder
This cohort study found that, given the complex health and health care needs of children growing up amid the opioid crisis, integrating health care into schools may offer a promising policy solution
How Do (Human) Child Welfare Workers Respond to Machine-Generated Risk Scores
Algorithmic risk scoring tools have been widely incorporated into governmental decision making, yet little is known about how human decision makers interact with machine-generated risk scores at the street level. We examined such human–machine interactions in the child welfare system, a high-stakes setting where caseworkers ascertain whether government interventions in family life are warranted. Using novel data—verbatim transcripts of caseworker…
Integrated Surveillance System for Controlling Covid-19 on a University Campus, 2020‒2021
To minimize the impacts of COVID-19 and to keep campus open, Cornell University’s Ithaca, NY, campus implemented a comprehensive process to monitor COVID-19 spread, support prevention practices, and assess early warning indicators linked to knowledge, behaviors, and attitudes of campus community members. The integrated surveillance approach informed leadership and allowed for prompt adjustments to university policies and practices through evidenc…
Conditions of Confinement in American Prisons and Jails
Research on the consequences of incarceration for inmates and ex-inmates, their families, and their communities has proliferated in just the last 20 years. Yet little of this research has documented variation across facilities in conditions of confinement or how these variations in conditions of confinement shape the consequences of incarceration for inmates and ex-inmates, their families, and their communities. Also, the conditions of confinemen…
Within- and Between-Sector Quality Differences in Early Childhood Education and Care
This study leverages nationally representative data (N ≈ 6,000) to examine the magnitude of quality differences between (a) formal and informal early childhood education and care providers; (b) Head Start, prekindergarten, and other center-based care; and (c) programs serving toddlers and those serving preschoolers. It then documents differences in children's reading and math skills at age 5 between those who had enrolled in formal and informal s…
