School air pollution and executive functioning development among low-income kindergarteners
The present study examines the associations between toxic industrial air pollution around elementary schools and children's executive functioning (EF) skill development among a racially and ethnically diverse sample of kindergarteners from low-income families in Tulsa, Oklahoma ( N = 763; 50% female; 52% Hispanic/Latinx, 18% Black, 13% White, 10% multiracial, 6% American Indian, 1% Asian American/Pacific Islander). Data on ambient industrial poll…

Which form of cash is best for families? Associations between lump sum versus regular payments and food insecurity
Associations between daily food insecurity and parent and child well-being
Food insecurity poses a serious threat to children's development, but the mechanisms through which food insecurity undermines child development are far less clear. Specifically, food insecurity may influence children through its effect on parents' psychological well-being and parent-child interactions as a result, but past research on the role of parents is correlational and undermined by omitted variable bias. Using a partially rural, low-income…
Encouraging older adults to use assistive devices
The current study explored the application of Politeness Theory within the context of conversations between older adults and their adult children about acquiring assistive devices. Politeness Theory posits that we want our public self-image, i.e. ‘face’ to be respected, and that concept of face is divided into negative face and positive face. We can show respect for negative face by communicating we value a person’s autonomy, and we can show resp…

Parenting Practices and Socioeconomic Gaps in Childhood Outcomes
In this article, developmental psychologists Ariel Kalil and Rebecca Ryan examine the relation between parenting practices and socioeconomic gaps in child outcomes. They document substantial differences between richer and poorer families, including growing gaps in parental engagement and time use. These gaps matter: the fact that children born to lower-income, less-educated parents are less likely to spend quality time with their parents only com…
Radon From the Ground into Our Schools
Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Exposure in schools may be harmful to schoolchildren and staff. However, states differ considerably in their approaches to mandating radon testing and mitigaiton in schools. In this study, 126 survey responses were received and analyzed from parents of K-12 children in Vermont, USA. Qualitative data were obtained by interviewing two parents for their views and concerns about radon in sc…
Time Investments in Children across Family Structures
This article compares time invested in children across family structures as a means to understand differences in children's development. Using data from the 1997 Panel Study of Income Dynamics' Child Development Supplement, we measure time investments from multiple caregivers and distinguish time children spend with a caregiver alone versus shared with another caregiver. We examine six family structures-married biological parents, cohabiting biol…
A Systematic Review of Consumer-Providers’ Effects on Client Outcomes in Statutory Mental Health Services
Diverging Destinies
Using data from the 2003–2007 American Time Use Surveys (ATUS), we compare mothers’ (N = 6,640) time spent in four parenting activities across maternal education and child age subgroups. We test the hypothesis that highly educated mothers not only spend more time in active child care than less-educated mothers but also alter the composition of that time to suit children’s developmental needs more than less-educated mothers. Results support this h…
Absolute risk representation in cardiovascular disease prevention
Consumers and GPs shared preferences for risk representation formats. Both groups liked the option to combine formats and tailor the risk information to reflect a specific individual's risk, to maximise understanding and provide a good basis for discussion
Factors Related to Job Satisfaction and Autonomy as Correlates of Potential Job Retention for Rural Nurses
This study of 167 nurses in 10 rural Georgia agencies examines the relationships among personal characteristics, factors of job satisfaction, autonomy, and job retention. The findings indicate that, contrary to expectations, personal characteristics (e.g., age, education, salary, marital status, and number of dependents) are not strong predictors of job retention in this sample. Some of the factors of job satisfaction do correlate negatively with…
Education of Health Care Providers for the Rural Setting
Spurred by mass concern over shortages of health care providers, the country's educational system has, over the past ten years, produced an ample supply (in some areas a near glut) of health care professionals. Studies demonstrate, however, that these professionals tend to cluster in the affluent metropolitan and suburban areas. Residents of rural areas are still significantly underserved. In the heavily rural southern half of Georgia, this probl…
