Missing Care, Missing Class
BACKGROUND: Health-related issues are perhaps the most common reason for student absences, as nearly every student has missed school due to an illness or injury at some point. Researchers in medicine and education have thoroughly documented the relationship between health and attendance. METHODS: Descriptive trends are analyzed. Ordinary Least Squares regression is applied to the data in the National Survey of Children's Health. Our variable of i…
Rethinking reference and racial/ethnic categories
Racial/ethnic categories used in education research are frequently aggregated across groups and often used in regression models as relative to white individuals, (un)consciously centering whiteness. We employ Quantitative Critical Race Theory (QuantCrit) to consider the implications of collapsing racial/ethnic categories and of reference group category selection. We propose a decision tree framework to support researchers in choosing a reference …
Identifying High-Priority Ecological-Level Indicators of Structural Racism in Black and Hispanic/Latino Communities
Structural racism manifests as a multifaceted phenomenon in which various social and structural drivers of health can carry different levels of significance and impact. This study used a theory-driven approach to identify high-priority key ecological-level manifestations of structural racism to inform the development of a novel, multilevel, and multidimensional structural racism measure for Black and Hispanic/Latino communities. Based on the Nati…
Cross-cultural adaptation of the awareness and beliefs about cancer measure for Hispanics/Latinos living in the United States
Introduction: The purpose of this study is to culturally adapt the Awareness and Beliefs about Cancer (ABC) measure for use in the Hispanic/Latino population living in the United States (US). Methods: In accordance with Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) Consortium guidelines for cross-cultural adaptation of measures for content and linguistic validity, we conducted: two forward-translations, reconciliation, two back-translations, revision and harmo…

Impact of different interventions on preventing suicide and suicide attempt among children and adolescents in the United States
Reducing undertreatment (the untreated and dropout) of depression and suicide screening and treatment in medical care settings may be effective in preventing suicide-related behaviors in children and adolescents
Cost-Related Non-Utilization of Health Services and Self-Perceived Reactions to Race
Negative perceptions of reactions to race during the time of health services utilization is positively associated with CRNU, ie, foregoing physician visits and prescription fills due to cost
Do Elementary Students Reading Motivation Levels Differ by Racial/Ethnic And/Or Immigrant Background
Prior research indicates that students enter school with high levels of reading motivation, but levels begin to decline as soon as second grade. However, most studies rely on predominately White samples. This exploratory study uses a large dataset to examine self-report reading motivation levels for students of varying racial/ethnic and immigrant backgrounds. Results show that self-report reading motivation levels are high for all students and de…
