Advancing Health Equity in Pediatric Primary Care
Health is a fundamental human right and families deserve health equity, a state where all children have the opportunity to reach their full health potential. Black families and children are disproportionately burdened with racial inequities in morbidity and mortality. Although evidence supports racially concordant care and wraparound pediatric primary services to address racial inequities, there remains a significant gap in developing and evaluat…
Pediatric ACEs and Related Life Events Screener (PEARLS v2)
Due to a demonstrated relationship between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and a range of psychological, physical, and social risks, there has been a growing movement to integrate routine ACEs screening in pediatric settings. As screenings have increased, there has also been a call for research to uncover areas for improvement in the implementation of these screenings. The Pediatric ACEs and Related Life Events Screener (PEARLS) is one commo…
Associations Between Early-Life Adversity, Ambient Air Pollution, and Telomere Length in Children
OBJECTIVE: Examine the independent associations and interaction between early-life adversity and residential ambient air pollution exposure on relative buccal telomere length (rBTL). METHODS: Experiences of abuse, neglect, household challenges, and related life events were identified in a cross-sectional sample of children aged 1 to 11 years ( n = 197) using the 17-item Pediatric ACEs and Related Life Event Screener (PEARLS) tool. The PEARLS tool…
Biological Burden of Adverse Childhood Experiences in Children
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to examine relationships between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and related life events and allostatic load (AL)-"wear and tear" from chronic stress-in a pediatric population. METHODS: Children were screened with the PEdiatric ACEs and Related Life Event Screener (PEARLS) tool, a 17-item questionnaire capturing experiences of abuse, neglect, household challenges, and related life events. Biological data were avai…
A Caregiver-Child Intervention for Mitigating Toxic Stress (“The Resiliency Clinic”)
In conclusion, a group intervention teaching supportive caregiving and stress mitigation is feasible and acceptable for many families in an urban federally qualified health center (FQHC) with a signal for modest improvements in behavioral health. Future program iterations will seek to address participation barriers and expand the intervention's capacity to promote early relational health
Screening for Park Access during a Primary Care Social Determinants Screen
Clinical interventions to increase park access would benefit from an understanding of the social and economic adversity faced by patients
Community social and place predictors of sense of community
Sense of community (SOC) is empirically “unpacked” as a multilevel construct with place and social elements. SOC has been studied primarily at the individual level despite researchers acknowledging its effects at the community level. Little attention has been given to the roles of place and place attitudes in SOC. We argue that place and social are inextricably bound, and studying the impact of the social alone on community‐oriented constructs li…
Confirmatory factor analysis of the Sense of Community Index and development of a Brief SCI
The Sense of Community Index (SCI) is the most widely used measure of the construct, despite the lack of confirmation of its intended dimensions or subscales. Yet psychometric appraisals of the SCI have never used the proper tool for evaluating an established dimensional construct: confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The Block Booster Project data set (of residents of 47 street blocks in Brooklyn and Queens, New York) used in developing the origi…
Neighborhood Sense of Community and Social Capital
Effects of Gender and Dress on Helping Behavior
The effects of gender and dress on helping behavior were examined. Perceptions and feelings influencing decisions to help were also investigated in an exploratory manner. 128 subjects were asked by a male or female confederate for 37¢ and afterwards completed a questionnaire. The confederates were either well-dressed or sloppily dressed. Analysis indicated that the woman was helped more than the man but that well-dressed and sloppily dressed conf…
