Feb 3rd 2024, 14:17

Abstract
We assess how immigrant parent legal status shapes children’s physical and mental health. Using the Hispanic Community Health Study of Latino Youth—a multi-site dataset—we evaluated mean differences in multiple physical and mental health indicators and parents’ and children’s stress and resilience by parents’ (primarily mothers’) legal status (N = 1177). We estimated regression models of two overall child health outcomes—allostatic load and any internalized disorder. Average allostatic load was 28% higher (0.36 standard deviations) and average prevalence of any internalizing disorder was 16% points greater for children of foreign-born unauthorized versus US-born parents. Higher levels of socioeconomic and acculturative stress contributed to children of foreign-born unauthorized parents’ heightened health risk, while resilience factors—parental health and familial support—protected their health. Children with unauthorized immigrant parents experience both negative physical and mental health outcomes that can have potential long-term costs.

Feb 3rd 2024, 14:16

Abstract
Although the estimated prevalence of ADHD in the school population is 5%, various studies carried out in Latin America have obtained higher figures. This descriptive-cross-sectional research analysed the prevalence of ADHD symptomatology in a random and probabilistic sample of 1535 schoolchildren from Cuenca-Ecuador (aged from 72 to 164 months, 51.3% were female and 50% attended public schools). IQ was evaluated using the Raven’s Progressive Matrices Test. The ADHD symptomatology was evaluated using the short version of Conners-3. Descriptive statistics, chisquares and prevalence data were calculated. We found a total prevalence of ADHD symptomatology of 20.3%. A higher prevalence of ADHD symptomatology was reported among girls compared to boys; and in public schools (compared to private schools). These findings may reflect a higher occurrence of ADHD in vulnerable populations that tend to be less well cared for. Although the results do not come from complete individual clinical evaluations, the representativeness of the sample and the simultaneous presence of scores above the cut-off points in the home and school contexts show a worrying situation that should be taken into account by agents responsible for the design of public health and education policies.

Feb 3rd 2024, 13:19

Implementation Research and Practice, Volume 5, Issue , January-December 2024. IntroductionDue to usability, feasibility, and acceptability concerns, observational treatment fidelity measures are often challenging to deploy in schools. Teacher self-report fidelity measures with specific design features might address some of these barriers. This case study outlines a community-engaged, iterative process to adapt the observational Treatment Integrity for Elementary Settings (TIES-O) to a teacher self-report version designed to assess the use of practices to support children’s social-emotional competencies in elementary classrooms.MethodCognitive walkthrough interviews were conducted with teachers to improve the usability of the teacher self-report measure, called the Treatment Integrity for Elementary Schools–Teacher Report (TIES-T). Qualitative content analysis was used to extract themes from the interviews and inform changes to the measure.ResultsIncreasing clarity and interactive elements in the measure training were the dominant themes, but suggestions for the measure format and jargon were also suggested.ConclusionThe suggested changes resulted in a brief measure, training, and feedback system designed to support the teacher’s use of practices to support children’s social-emotional competencies in elementary classrooms. Future research with the TIES-T will examine the score reliability and validity of the measure.Plain Language SummaryCollecting observational data in schools is challenging, so developing teacher self-report measures and involving teachers in the design process is important to help make them easier to use. This paper reports on the development of a teacher self-report measure designed to collect information about the instructional practices teachers deliver to promote positive student behavior.

Feb 3rd 2024, 13:17

Abstract
Late diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is associated with early progression to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). We examined racial/ethnic differences in presentation with advanced HIV/AIDS at a community health center in New Jersey. Records of patients diagnosed with HIV between 1990 and 2018 were reviewed. Odds ratios (OR) of presenting with AIDS at HIV diagnosis were computed in unadjusted and adjusted models. There were 182 (48.3%) Latino, 48 (12.7%) non-Latino White (NLW), 130 (34.5%) non-Latino Black, and 17 (4.5%) non-Latino of other race/ethnicity included in the analysis. Over 75% of the Latinos were foreign-born. Latino patients had higher odds of presentation with AIDS at time of HIV diagnosis than NLW in unadjusted (OR = 4.85, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 2.28–10.31) and adjusted models (OR = 3.71, 95%CI: 1.60–8.59). Latino patients, particularly foreign-born and bisexual, had higher odds of being diagnosed with AIDS at presentation with HIV in this cohort.

Feb 3rd 2024, 12:21

Abstract

Objectives
To determine if rates of maternal diabetes vary by race, ethnicity, and neighborhood hardship.

Methods
We conducted a secondary analysis of live births in Chicago from 2010 to 2017. Our sample was restricted to Non-Hispanic White, Non-Hispanic Black, Mexican, Non-Hispanic Asian, and Other Hispanic mothers between the ages of 15 and 50, with singleton births. The addresses of mothers were geocoded to specific neighborhoods, which we stratified into tertiles using the Economic Hardship Index. We used generalized logit mixed models to examine the interaction between race/ethnicity, neighborhood economic hardship, and maternal diabetes.

Results
In our cohort of 299,053 mothers, 4.75% were diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Asian mothers had the highest frequency of gestational diabetes (8.3%), followed by Mexican mothers (6.8%). Within their respective racial/ethnic groups, Asian and Mexican mothers living in medium hardship neighborhoods had the highest odds of gestational diabetes compared to the reference group (OR 2.80, 95%CI 2.53, 3.19; OR 2.30, 95%CI 2.12, 2.49 respectively). Overall rates of preexisting diabetes were 0.9% and were highest among Mexican and Black mothers (1.26% and 1.06%, respectively). Asian mothers in medium hardship neighborhoods had the greatest odds of preexisting diabetes, among all Asian mothers and compared to the reference (OR 4.71 95% CI 3.60, 6.16).

Conclusions
For racial and ethnic minoritized mothers, gestational and preexisting diabetes do not increase in a step-wise fashion with neighborhood hardship; rates were often higher in low and medium hardship neighborhoods.

Feb 3rd 2024, 11:21

Abstract

Background
The aim was to compare cardiometabolic health between Asian American children and Non-Hispanic White (NHW) children as well as to compare cardiometabolic health among Asian American children by birthplace.

Methods
Children aged 6–17 years enrolled in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2011 to 2018 who self-identified as non-Hispanic Asian and NHW were included. Among Asian Americans, place of birth was defined as foreign born vs United States (US) born. Regression models were adjusted for age, sex, household income, food insecurity, passive smoke exposure, and body mass index (BMI) z-score.

Results
Among 3369 children, 8.4% identified as Asian American (age 11.7 years) and 91.6% identified as NHW (age 11.7 years). Compared to NHW children, Asian American children had significantly lower BMI z-scores and odds of obesity. Asian American children had higher HOMA-IR, and greater odds of dyslipidemia and microalbuminuria compared to NHW children. Among Asian Americans, 30.5% were foreign born. Compared to foreign-born Asian American children, US-born Asian American children had significantly higher non-HDL, triglycerides, and uric acid, lower HDL, and lower odds of hyperfiltration. There were no differences in blood pressure by racial group or place of birth.

Conclusions
Although Asian American children have lower odds of obesity, they have significantly worse glucose intolerance, more dyslipidemia, and more microalbuminuria compared to NHW children. US-born Asian American children have worse cardiometabolic health profiles compared to foreign-born Asian Americans.

Feb 3rd 2024, 11:17

American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Medicine®, Ahead of Print. Seventy-one undergraduate students took part in a study examining their attitudes toward medical assistance in dying (MAiD) for mental illness. More than half (52%) of the students did not know that a change to Canada’s MAiD law will allow people with a mental illness as their sole underlying condition to request a medically assisted death next spring (ie, March, 2024). Less than a one-third (28%) of the students agreed/strongly agreed with the statement that MAiD should be offered to people receiving treatment for mental illness (42% disagreed/strongly disagreed), and even less (14%) agreed/strongly agreed with the statement that people waiting for treatment for mental illness should be able to access MAiD (71% disagreed/strongly disagreed). In explaining their answers to the second statement, over two-thirds (68%) of the students believed that people who are waiting to be treated for mental illness should receive treatment first, before considering MAiD. In other words, undergoing treatment for mental illness that might work was seen as a better option than dying.

Feb 3rd 2024, 10:18

Abstract
Under ‘post-truth’ conditions the generation, circulation and status of knowledge are being transformed, with significant implications for institutional trust, social cohesion and public safety. These conditions raise complex challenges and opportunities within education, which plays a potentially pivotal role in supporting communities to respond in an assertive and critical manner. However, little is currently understood about the way key stakeholders within education position themselves epistemically in relation to post-truth conditions. The purpose of this research was to analyse epistemic aspects of educators’ responses to post-truth conditions using a ‘social lab’ methodology, which is a qualitative, action-oriented approach to studying complex social problems. Analysis of data from the social lab, which involved a variety of education stakeholders, identified four epistemic aims (with associated ideals, processes and actions) to orient an educational response to post-truth conditions. However, overall, epistemic aims lacked precision and contextual specificity. Furthermore, aims were associated with divergent underpinning epistemological commitments, mirroring divergences in literature on the educational implications of post-truth conditions. Teachers may require additional training to enhance epistemic reflexivity and drive more productive and inclusive conversations about post-truth in classrooms, staffrooms and ITE programs. The findings are suggestive of the complex epistemological and institutional dynamics that need to be negotiated in educational responses to post-truth conditions.

Feb 3rd 2024, 09:18

Abstract
Research-practice partnerships (RPPs) are emerging as a promising approach for educational change by closing the gap between educational research and practice. However, these partnerships face several challenges, such as addressing cultural differences as well as relationship-building in a historically unbalanced relationship between researchers and practitioners. Scholars have argued that these cultural differences, also called boundaries, have learning potential if approached constructively, but that we need to know more about what characterizes them in an educational context. The aim of this study is to contribute to our understanding of frameworks for RPPs. By analysing 45 hours of video recordings from meetings in an RPP between four researchers and 300 practitioners, the study offers a characterization of seven different boundaries organized into three different boundary themes: a) prerequisites for collaboration, b) collaborative practices, and c) collaborative content. Moreover, the different boundaries affect the positioning of different actors in the RPP. For example, depending on the boundary expressed, teachers are positioned as either flawed implementers or co-inquirers. We argue that the boundaries and different participant positions within the RPPs they reinforce may affect their learning potentials.

Feb 3rd 2024, 08:28

Abstract

Background
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and HIV treatment as prevention, which underlies the Undetectable = Untransmittable (U = U) campaign, are two effective biomedical approaches for HIV prevention among sexual minority men (SMM). Attitudes toward PrEP and U = U may differ between SMM emerging adults (EA: 18–24 years old) and young adults (YA: 25–29 years old) to drive differences in sexual behavior. However, to date, few studies assessed the degree to which YAs and EAs differ in their beliefs in the effectiveness of PrEP and U = U.

Method
A national sample of 80 SMM in the USA (Mage = 25.1 years; 53.7% racial/ethnic minority; 38.8% EA; 61.3% YA) participated in a 6-month mHealth intervention for PrEP adherence. Non-parametric tests assessed differences in sexual behaviors and attitudes toward the effectiveness of PrEP and U = U between EAs and YAs using baseline data.

Results
Compared to EAs, higher proportions of YAs trusted PrEP’s effectiveness and considered condom use unnecessary after taking PrEP. More YAs than EAs were willing to engage in sexual behaviors that they felt too risky before learning about U = U and were more comfortable having condomless sex with HIV-positive partners. Conversely, a greater proportion of EAs than YAs preferred to use condoms even when their partners are on anti-HIV medications.

Conclusion
Overall, YAs trusted the effectiveness of U = U and PrEP more than EAs, underscoring developmental differences in SMM’s perspectives on biomedical HIV prevention tools. Our findings underscore the importance of tailoring messages on biomedical HIV prevention options differently for EAs and YAs to optimize uptake.

Feb 3rd 2024, 07:19

Abstract
The article examines how higher education institutions respond to ambiguous governance instruments. A key focus is how ambiguity is tackled in the interpretation and implementation processes. Building on theoretical perspectives from institutional analysis of organisations, an empirical point of departure is the analysis of ten higher education institutions in Norway and their response on the introduction of development agreements. The findings point out two important dimensions in analysing implementation processes: focusing on the change dynamics and the degree of internal integration. In combination, these point towards distinct patterns in organisational responses to ambiguous policy instruments.

Feb 3rd 2024, 06:26

Abstract

Purpose
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training is embedded in various tertiary healthcare curricula. However, opportunities for students to practise their newly acquired MHFA skills before entering the clinical practice workforce are lacking. The purpose of this study was to explore pharmacy students’ experiences of MHFA training and post-MHFA simulated psychosis care role-plays.

Methods
Final-year pharmacy students received MHFA training, after which they were invited to participate in simulated patient role-plays with trained actors, whilst being observed by peers, pharmacy tutors and mental health consumer educators (MHCEs). Immediately after each role-play, the role-playing student engaged in self-assessment, followed by performance feedback and debrief discussions with the tutor, MHCE and observing peers. All MHFA-trained students were invited to participate in audio-recorded focus groups to explore their experiences. Audio-recordings were transcribed verbatim and thematically analysed.

Results
MHFA training was delivered to 209 students, of which 86 participated in a simulated patient role-play as a role-player and the remaining students observed. Seven focus groups were conducted with 36 students (mean duration 40 min, SD 11 min). Five themes emerged: scenario reactions, realistic but not real, mental health confidence, MHFA skills application, feedback and self-reflection.

Conclusion
Students enjoyed the post-MHFA simulated psychosis care role-plays, which provided opportunities to apply and reflect on their newly-acquired MHFA skills in a safe learning environment. These experiences enhanced students’ confidence to support people in the community, experiencing mental health symptoms or crises, and could be an add-on to MHFA training in the future.

Feb 3rd 2024, 05:19

Abstract
This article presents initiatives undertaken by the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine (GHSM) at King’s College London (KCL), exploring avenues to decolonise higher education institutions (HEI). HEI must integrate anti-racism agendas, challenge the European-centric academic knowledge domination, and dismantle power asymmetries. During the academic year 2021, GHSM executed (1) a gap analysis of undergraduate modules, (2) a course on decolonising research methods taught by global scholars to 40 Global South and North university students who completed pre- and post-course surveys, and (3) semi-structured interviews with 11 academics, and a focus group with four students exploring decolonising HEI; findings were thematically analysed. (1) Gap analysis revealed a tokenistic use of Black and minority ethnic and women authors across modules’ readings. (2) The post-course survey showed that 68% strongly agreed the course enhanced their decolonisation knowledge. (3) The thematic analysis identified themes: (1) Decolonisation is about challenging colonial legacies, racism, and knowledge production norms. (2) Decolonisation is about care, inclusivity, and compensation. (3) A decolonised curriculum should embed an anti-racism agenda, reflexive pedagogies, and life experiences involving students and communities. (4) HEI are colonial, exclusionary constructs that should shift to transformative and collaborative ways of thinking and knowing. (5) To decolonise research, we must rethink the hierarchy of knowledge production and dissemination and the politics of North-South research collaborations. Decolonising HEI must be placed within a human rights framework. HEI should integrate anti-racism agendas, give prominence to indigenous and marginalised histories and ways of knowing, and create a non-hierarchical educational environment, with students leading the decolonisation process.

Feb 3rd 2024, 05:06

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to identify the role of autism centers in enhancing the social skills of autistic children from the point of view of social workers working in autism centers as well to identify the major obstacles and needs of the autism centers to enhance the social skills of autistic children. The participants in the study consisted of 128 social workers working in autism centers in the emirates of Ajman and Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates. This descriptive study was based on a questionnaire consisting of 40 items was designed and randomly distributed to social workers at different autism centers in the emirates of Ajman and Sharjah. The results of the study revealed that social workers have a high-perspective point of view on the important role of autism centers in enhancing autistic children’s social skills, the necessity to provide social and psychological support programs for autistic children at the center, and increasing the number of competent social workers inside the autism centers. The study also showed that the role of autism centers in enhancing the social skills of autistic children varies according to the gender of social workers in favor of male social workers, and there were no statistically significant differences according to the variables of academic qualification and the experience of social workers. The study recommended more studies on children with autism and autism centers.
