(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2023/grey-literature/health-economic-disparities-emerge-in-the-middle-class/) Health, Economic Disparities Emerge in the Middle Class
Oct 13th 2023, 12:38

The fortunes of Americans whose wealth is in the top 10 percent have soared, leaving the rest of the country trailing in their wake. But let’s focus instead on the unsettling trends that have developed within the middle class.
Both the health and finances of older workers have deteriorated in the bottom half of “the forgotten middle” over the past two decades, according to researchers at the University of Southern California and Columbia University.
Take one important indication of this. Home equity is typically an older worker’s largest single asset. But homeownership has fallen sharply in the bottom half of what the researchers define as the 60 percent of older Americans in the middle class.
The homeownership rate in the lower middle class was 79 percent in the generation born late in the Depression but slid to 54 percent for the last of the boomers born in the early 1960s. Contrast them to the upper middle class: 85 percent of the late boomers own a house.
This is just one of the disparities between the top and bottom halves of the middle class that “widened substantially between 1994 and 2018,” the researchers said.
They repeated their strategy of using simple statistics for various measures of physical and socioeconomic health to track changes over time for people who were between ages 53 and 58 in five different years: 1994 (the Depression generation), 2000, 2006, 2012, and 2018 (the late boomers).
To compare the cohorts, the researchers ranked and sorted individuals in each cohort into socioeconomic subgroups based on a combination of their annual earnings and estimates of the current value of their wealth, annualized. The lower middle class is the 15th to 44th percentiles in terms of their financial resources. The 15th percentile is the federal poverty level, so the lower-middle class in this study also includes very low-paid workers. The upper middle class is the 45th to 75th percentiles.
The economic gap has widened in various ways as the lower middle class has fallen further behind. Both their earnings and the share who were employed have stagnated over the decades. The share with employer health insurance plunged from 76 percent of the Depression generation in 1996 to 46 percent of the late boomers in 2018, though many may have ended up on government-subsidized healthcare. 

In contrast, employment in the upper middle class rose slightly, and the earnings of the late boomers in this group are 30 percent higher than the Depression generation’s earnings. Their employer health insurance rate has been both higher and stable over that time. 
To be clear, the health of all 53- to 58-year-olds has deteriorated, a troubling trend that has been confirmed by earlier research. For example, the number of chronic conditions reported by both the upper- and lower-middle classes have increased, this new study found.
But the lower middle class has fared worse. One in five members in the Depression generation said they were in poor or fair health in 1994. By 2018, that had jumped to nearly one in three late boomers. In the upper middle class, the share in poor or fair health has stayed at about 10 percent of women and has risen to 17 percent of men – still well below the rate for men in the lower middle class.  
Smoking, a straightforward indication of health, has fallen quite a bit over the decades in the upper middle class. The smoking rate hasn’t changed much in the lower middle class. The rate was 25 percent for women and 31 percent for men in 2018.
Obesity is one health statistic that runs counter to the trend. Despite the upper middle class being healthier in most ways, the obesity rates in both the upper and lower middle class have risen sharply.
But the main conclusion of the researchers is that the disadvantaged people in the bottom half of the forgotten middle are “being left behind compared to those with higher economic status, whose expected health and economic resources have grown substantially.”

Oct 13th 2023, 12:23

Abstract

Purpose
The Massachusetts General Hospital Hairpulling Scale (MGH-HPS) is a 7-item self-report tool that measures hair-pulling behaviors. The study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the Polish version of the MGH-HPS in a sample of adults.

Methods
The online screening survey was completed by 1024 participants (777 women, 241 men, 6 non-binary), 92 of which (68 women, 24 men) were included in the study because they confirmed engaging in hair-pulling behaviors at least occasionally; 23 of those (2.25% of the initial sample) met the DSM-5 criteria for hair-pulling disorder. The participants were asked to complete the online version of the MGH-HPS, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21-Item Version, the Obsessive Compulsive Inventory-Revised, and a scale containing the DSM-5 hair-pulling disorder criteria. The factor structure, reliability, validity, and diagnostic accuracy of the Polish version of the MGH-HPS were examined.

Results
The confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that both a one-factor and a two-factor model fit the data well; however, given the high correlation between the factors, the unidimensional model may be superior. High internal consistency and convergent and divergent validity were obtained for the total score of the MGH-HPS and the Severity and Resistance and Control factors (Cronbach’s alphas: 0.89, 0.85 and 0.84 respectively). The ROC analysis indicated adequate prognostic ability of the total score to discriminate subjects with clinical and non-clinical hair-pulling. The optimal cut-off value was 13 points (sensitivity = 100%, specificity = 62.22%).

Conclusions
The Polish version of the MGH-HPS is a valid, reliable tool which may be used to measure hair-pulling behaviors in adult samples.

Oct 13th 2023, 12:19

Abstract
Multiple theoretical frameworks have been proposed to provide a more comprehensive picture of the risk factors that influence anxiety-related developmental trajectories. Nonetheless, there remains a need for an integrative model that outlines: (1) which risk factors may be most pertinent at different points in development, and (2) how parenting may maintain, exacerbate, or attenuate an affective style that is characterized by high negative emotional reactivity to unfamiliar, uncertain, and threatening situations. A developmentally informed, integrative model has the potential to guide treatment development and delivery, which is critical to reducing the public health burden associated with these disorders. This paper outlines a model integrating research on many well-established risk mechanisms for anxiety disorders, focusing on (1) the developmental progression from emotional reactivity constructs early in life to those involving higher-level cognitive processes later in youth, and (2) potential pathways by which parenting may impact the stability of youth’s cognitive-affective responses to threat-relevant information across development.

Oct 13th 2023, 12:19

Abstract
Ethnographic research on Connecticut farms reveals that workers in the agricultural sector experience a wide range of working and living conditions. While legal precarity, poverty, and oppressive social dynamics confine all farmworkers to positions of structural vulnerability, some acquire a kind of “structural agency” that enables them to exert influence over their conditions of work in ways that are meaningful to their everyday experiences. Several key variables are at play in producing structural vulnerability and structural agency, including agricultural subsector, farm size, type of work, immigration status of workers, workplace interpersonal dynamics, racial and ethnic hierarchies, individual farm cultures, and local and state approaches to im/migration and labor policy enforcement. Ethnography of agricultural labor must take seriously the diversity of farm work experiences and incorporate the perspectives of individuals at multiple levels of farm hierarchies. A new concept linked to structural vulnerability, “structural agency,” can facilitate analyses of how people in broader contexts of marginalization work toward positive outcomes for themselves and others.

Oct 13th 2023, 12:19

Abstract
This review is aimed at synthesizing current findings concerning technology-based cognitive offloading and the associated effects on learning and memory. While cognitive externalization (i.e., using the environment to outsource mental computation) is a highly useful technique in various problem-solving tasks, a growing body of research suggests that the offloading of information into the environment (and digital storage in particular) can have negative effects on learning. Based on this review, a model of offloading with cognitive load at its core is developed to summarize when learners offload information. A high intrinsic cognitive load (i.e., a high difficulty), a high extraneous load (i.e., unnecessary design elements), and a low perceived or actual working memory capacity trigger offloading. Crucially, the value attributed to information also affects whether information is externalized. In this model, extraneous cognitive load in the design of technology-enhanced learning acts as a triple barrier: (1) It prevents information from entering working memory, (2) it inhibits information being stored in long-term memory, and (3) it can prevent learners from externalizing information using technology. As a result, in many instances, only the gist of information (or its location) is retained, while learners often gain the illusion of having memorized that information. Furthermore, offloading substantially increases the risk of memory manipulation, potentially posing a societal problem. Consequently, educational approaches should maximize the meaningfulness of the residual information that is often retained in the form of “biological pointers.” In addition, current issues surrounding the use of generative artificial intelligence pertaining to externalization are discussed.

Oct 13th 2023, 12:18

Abstract
The purpose of this scoping review was to explore operationalizations and related conceptualizations of young children’s engagement in early childhood education and care (ECEC) settings. The literature search was conducted in March 2021 across ERIC, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, with the aim of identifying studies where child engagement or involvement in ECEC settings was quantitatively assessed. The search resulted in 5965 articles, of which 286 were included in this review. Data were extracted about engagement conceptualization, theoretical frameworks, study population, study design, and engagement measurement tools and methods. Findings show variations in definitions and measurement of child engagement. Almost two-thirds of the studies lacked an explicit definition of child engagement. Young children’s engagement was typically defined as behaviors and interactions with the social and material environment, while involvement was depicted as an internal experience. The most common method of measuring children’s engagement in ECEC was observations by an external observer, followed by teacher surveys. Seventy-seven unique established measures of child engagement were identified. About one-third of the identified studies relied on unestablished measures of child engagement. Measures of general child engagement in ECEC had a focus on behavioral aspects of engagement, whereas most measures with a focus on engagement in academic activities also included cognitive and emotional aspects. To advance the research of child engagement in ECEC settings, more attention should be put into clarifying the concept of child engagement in terms of its generalizability, specificity, and temporality. Corresponding operationalizations should be precisely described. Our recommendations also include validating existing measures of child engagement and developing self-reports for young children.

Oct 13th 2023, 12:18

Abstract
Objective
This brief report was designed to understand resilience in families 2 years after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Background
The COVID-19 pandemic has had well-documented adverse effects on individuals and families. However, some studies have found null, or even positive, effects within aspects of family life. These mixed results suggest the potential for resilience in families, yet few studies have empirically investigated this possibility.
Methods
A sample of 593 parents (53% female) that were married or in a romantic relationship participated in a nationwide survey in September 2022; individuals were recruited via the research survey firm Prolific. Latent profile analysis was used to identify typologies of family adjustment following the pandemic and predictors of group membership.
Results
A three-group solution was identified, with groups labeled as stable family functioning (n = 286; 48% of the sample), improved family functioning (n = 250; 42%), and worsened family functioning (n = 57; 10%). Predictors of group membership indicated significant differences across all three groups in respondents’ levels of cohesive family mindset. Select group differences were also observed in levels of couple communication, partner gratitude, perceived stress, and loneliness.
Conclusion
Findings provide empirical support for the occurrence of resilience in families in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Predictors of group membership provide insights into sources of family resilience and areas to target in family-based interventions designed to support families under stress.

Oct 13th 2023, 12:18

Abstract
People experiencing homelessness (PEH) are at disproportionate risk of becoming infected and having severe illness from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), especially when residing in congregate settings like homeless shelters. Behavioral health problems related to substance use disorder (SUD) and severe mental illness (SMI) may have created additional challenges for PEH to practice prevention measures like mask wearing, physical distancing, handwashing, and quarantine and isolation. The study objective was to understand the perceived barriers PEH face regarding COVID-19 non-pharmaceutical prevention strategies and identify recommendations for overcoming barriers. From August-October 2020, qualitative phone interviews with 50 purposively selected behavioral health professionals across the United States serving PEH with SUD or SMI were conducted. Professionals described that PEH faced barriers to prevention that were structural (e.g., access to necessary resources), behavioral (related to SUD or SMI), or related to the priority of other needs. Recommendations to overcome these barriers included providing free prevention resources (e.g., masks and hand sanitizer), providing education about importance of prevention strategies, and prioritizing access to stable housing. Interviews took place before COVID-19 vaccines were available, so barriers to vaccination are not included in this paper. Findings can help support tailored approaches during COVID-19 and future public health threats.

Oct 13th 2023, 12:17

Abstract
Of the estimated 35.3 million refugees around the world (UNHCR, Figures at a Glance, 2022), approximately 50% are children under the age of 18. Refugee adolescents represent a unique group as they navigate developmental tasks in an unstable and often threatening environment or in resettlement contexts in which they often face marginalization. In addition to physiological, social, and psychological changes that mark adolescence, refugee youth often face traumatic experiences, acculturative stress, discrimination, and a lack of basic resources. In this consensus statement, we examine research on refugee adolescents’ developmental tasks, acculturative tasks, and psychological adjustment using Suárez-Orozco and colleague’s integrative risk and resilience model for immigrant-origin children and youth proposed by Suárez-Orozco et al. Finally, we discuss recommendations—moving from proximal to more distal contexts.

Oct 13th 2023, 12:17

Abstract
This study explored Black and Latinx youth organizers’ experiences of racism within national gun violence prevention organizing spaces. Interview data were analyzed from 17 Black and/or Latinx youth (Mage = 20.17, 47% women) across the United States who organized against gun violence. The findings identified three forms of racism that Black and Latinx organizers experienced in national organizations: (1) being tokenized for their racial identities and experiences without having real decision making power; (2) feeling a burden to educate their white peers about the structural causes of gun violence and how to improve organizing spaces for other youth of color; and (3) being silenced in their racially conscious organizing efforts to address the structural causes of gun violence in their communities. This research highlights how Black and Latinx youth gun violence prevention organizers contend both with structural racism in their everyday lives and racism in organizing spaces.

Oct 13th 2023, 12:17

Abstract
In her essay Powers of Horror, Julia Kristeva investigates the concept of abjection. Essentially, the term means “the state of being cast off” and according to Kristeva it is a feeling of disgust, filth and humiliation, things we tend to reject for becoming subjects and protecting identities. But as I will argue here, by rejecting athletes who dissolve the culturally strict boundaries in sports, the sports organizations become abjects themselves, and consequently evade moral responsibility.

Oct 13th 2023, 12:17

Background
There has been an increase in children and young people attending emergency departments for mental health reasons, including self-harm. Patients often report having poor experiences when attending emergency departments for mental health support. However, there has yet to be a review exploring the experiences of young people. Our aim in this study was to synthesise qualitative literature on young people’s experiences of going to emergency departments for mental health support.
Methods
A systematic review and metasynthesis were conducted. Five databases and grey literature were searched for relevant studies. Five articles met study criteria and were analysed using an iterative process of thematic synthesis.
Results
The synthesis yielded four overarching themes: (a) emergency departments’ inability to meet the mental health needs of young people, (b) emergency departments exacerbating patient distress, (c) patients feeling like a burden or undeserving of treatment and (d) consequences of poor emergency department experiences.
Conclusions
These findings (based on a still very limited literature) highlight the role that emergency departments have in relation to being a key point of contact with young people who self-harm. To properly engage with patients, emergency departments need to have the resources to provide compassionate care and follow clinical guidelines regarding assessments.

Oct 13th 2023, 12:16

Abstract

Background
Disparities in vaccine coverage among groups in the USA is common, possibly due to higher vaccine hesitancy in certain populations, difficulty accessing vaccines, and underlying social vulnerability.

Methods
The aim of this study was to investigate the association between mpox vaccine administration, social determinants of health, and social vulnerability index (SVI) in Durham County, North Carolina, USA. Random forest regression (RFE) and min–max scaling preprocessing were used to predict mpox vaccinations in Durham County at the census tract level. The top eleven most influential features and their correlations with mpox vaccination were calculated.

Results
Non-Hispanic white individuals, males, and those between the ages of 20 and 40 years were overrepresented in mpox vaccine reception in Durham County. Surprisingly, lacking a high school diploma, lacking health insurance, lacking a household vehicle, and living below the poverty line were all positively associated with receiving the mpox vaccine. Being a Black or African American and Hispanic or Latino individual was also positively associated with receiving the mpox vaccine.

Discussion
Vaccine outreach efforts in Durham County, North Carolina, had success in reaching at-risk individuals, including socially vulnerable individuals. Future research should focus more specifically on how social vulnerability relates to vaccine reception for vaccine-preventable diseases.

Oct 13th 2023, 12:16

Current mental health service provision for young people was primarily designed based on an assumption of repeat attendance to enable access to interventions. This applies to in-person therapy and, in recent years, digitally provided apps and programmes. Yet, discontinuation after only one or two attendances or uses is a common problem. However, there is a different model, which is intentionally designing provision without assuming repeat attendance, that is, single session interventions. Evidence from the United States, where a suite of digital, self-help single session interventions, accessible anonymously, have been designed, indicates that these are helpful to young people with reductions in depression symptoms at up to 9 months later. These interventions also have had better reach into currently underserved populations (e.g. LGBTQ+ and ethnic minority adolescents). Therefore, these may be a potentially helpful way to expand existing provision at scale, enabling all young people to access evidence-based help quickly.

Oct 13th 2023, 12:16

Abstract
Rather than placing the onus on stigmatized and disenfranchised communities as hard-to-reach in sexual health research, we challenge researchers to recognize and provide outreach to populations who are hardly reached, such as cisgender Black women. We posit that the disparate human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and sexually transmitted infection (STI) rates experienced by Black women in the USA are due in part to social and structural inequities and lack of researcher outreach within these communities. Social inequities give rise to racial and gender discrimination, which often results in structural barriers that researchers may not acknowledge. Structural barriers include medical mistrust and lack of access to preventative sexual health services, health care, education, and other resources. To achieve health equity, researchers must engage with Black women to understand the unique struggles they face and intervene with non-stigmatizing, culturally appropriate interventions. Interventions must utilize gatekeepers, influencers, community organizations, community advisory boards, and peer support. It is critical that sexual health researchers reach out to those who do not fall under the traditional hard-to-reach category but are hardly reached to counteract the current projection that 1 in 32 Black women will be diagnosed with HIV in their lifetime.

Oct 13th 2023, 12:16

Abstract
Rather than confining the categories health and sickness to a biomedical conception of the biological organism, there is growing recognition of epistemological and ontological multiplicity in the realm of diagnosis and, indeed, in the very realm of disease itself. In short, the empirical manifestations of health and illness as well as the processes thought to cause them are now understood to assume a much wider variety of both biological and other forms. This essay considers the underlying epistemological and ontological opportunities and challenges of taking what we are calling this diffusion of diagnosis seriously. By diffusion we mean the movement from a concentrated understanding of diagnostic authority as confined to scientific biomedicine to a less concentrated appreciation of the diverse approaches to diagnosis throughout the world. We consider the extent to which, and the manner in which, we as sociologists of diagnosis might not only critique these various processes but perhaps also take them seriously in an ethnographic sense as locally produced, evaluated and legitimated forms of health care.
