An application of Bayesian inference to examine student retention and attrition in the STEM classroom
Introduction As artificial intelligence (AI) technology becomes more widespread in the classroom environment, educators have relied on data-driven machine learning (ML) techniques and statistical frameworks to derive insights into student performance patterns. Bayesian methodologies have emerged as a more intuitive approach to frequentist methods of inference since they link prior assumptions and data together to provide a quantitative distributi…
Voluntary Smoking Bans at Home and in the Car and Smoking Cessation, Obesity, and Self-Control
This study of female former and current smokers assessed the associations between voluntary smoking bans at home and in the car and smoking cessation, obesity, and self-control. Data from self-reported female smokers (N = 194) who were in a community-based random cohort at four points in time, from 1983 to 2009, were analyzed. These female participants (M age = 63.7 yr.) were given self-administered questionnaires. Analyses showed that complete s…

Developmental trajectories of marijuana use from adolescence to adulthood
This is the first study to assess the associations between the trajectories of marijuana use and other predictors of violent behavior with the use of guns or other weapons as well as stealing without the use of weapons among inner-city African Americans and Puerto Ricans (N = 838). Logistic regression analyses examined whether the longitudinal trajectories of marijuana use compared with the trajectory of no/low marijuana use predicted violent beh…
Triple Comorbid Trajectories of Tobacco, Alcohol, and Marijuana Use as Predictors of Antisocial Personality Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder Among Urban Adults
Objectives. We modeled triple trajectories of tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana use from adolescence to adulthood as predictors of antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Methods. We assessed urban African American and Puerto Rican participants (n = 816) in the Harlem Longitudinal Development Study, a psychosocial investigation, at 4 time waves (mean ages = 19, 24, 29, and 32 years). We used Mplus to obtain th…
Determinants of Obesity
This study examined the relation of cigarette smoking, psychological symptoms (e.g., depressive symptoms, anxiety), physical activity, and body mass index (BMI) separately by sex. The sample consisted of 815 African Americans and Puerto Ricans (324 males, 491 females). The participants were originally 14 years of age, and were followed to 32 years of age, and gave information on smoking, depressive symptoms, anxiety, physical activity, and BMI. S…
Longitudinal Determinants of Substance Use Disorders
Long‐term consequences of membership in trajectory groups of delinquent behavior in an urban sample
Research on stability and change in delinquent behavior over time has important implications for both the individual and the criminal justice system. The present research looks at this issue by examining the associations between the trajectories of delinquent behavior in adolescence and adult functioning. Data for the present study are from a four-wave longitudinal study of African American and Hispanic participants. Participants provided informa…
Developmental Trajectories of Marijuana Use from Adolescence to Adulthood
Longitudinal trajectories of marijuana use from adolescence into adulthood were examined for adverse life-course outcomes among African-Americans and Puerto Ricans. Data for marijuana use were analyzed at four points in time and on participants' personality attributes, work functioning, and partner relations in adulthood using growth mixture modeling. Each of the three marijuana-use trajectory groups (maturing-out, late-onset, and chronic marijua…
Ecology and Drug Use
The interrelation of ecological and psychosocial risk factors and adolescent marijuana use is examined in this three-sample longitudinal data analysis. Participants included (a) white children from the northeast of the USA, (b) African-American and Puerto Rican adolescents from New York City, and (c) adolescents living in Colombia, South America. Adolescents were interviewed in their homes. Independent measures were from the ecological, personali…
The Relationship of Personality and Behavioral Development from Adolescence to Young Adulthood and Subsequent Parenting Behavior
The purpose of the study was to examine the association of parental personality, behavior, and substance use during adolescence and adulthood as related to the later parent-offspring relationship. The sample consisted of 297 parents ( M age 32 yr.), who were first interviewed at earlier points in their lives in childhood and early adolescence at six points in time, extending from 1983 to 2002. Multiple regression models showed that parents with c…
Smoking Involvement During Adolescence Among African Americans and Puerto Ricans
Differential Test Performance in the American Educational System
Contrary to Herrnstein and Murray (1994) who claim that racial groups have different cognitive endowments and that these best explain differential test score achievements, our regression analyses document that there is less improvement in test scores per year of education for African-Americans and women. That is, the observed group test score differences do not appear to be due to racial cognitive differences but rather to other factors associate…
Is the frequency of having an eye test associated with socioeconomic factors? A national cross sectional study in British elderly
The National Diet and Nutrition Survey: Peo-ple Aged 65 Years and Over (NDNS) recruiteda representative sample of people aged 65 yearsor over from 80 diVerent postcode sectors ofmainland Britain. The sample included sub-jects from private households as well as frominstitutions such as nursing homes (not geriat-ric hospitals); the fieldwork for this survey wascarried out in 1994/1995. Further details onsubject selection and procedures are presente…
