   Abstract = {BACKGROUND: The youngest children in a school class are more
             likely than the oldest to be diagnosed with ADHD, but this
             relative age effect is less frequent in older than in
             younger school-grade children. However, no study has
             explored the association between relative age and the
             persistence of ADHD diagnosis at older ages. We aimed to
             quantify the association between relative age and
             persistence of ADHD at older ages. METHODS: For this
             meta-analysis, we searched MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL,
             PsycINFO, and PubPsych up to April 1, 2022, with terms
             related to "cohort" and "ADHD" with no date, publication
             type, or language restrictions. We gathered individual
             participant data from prospective cohorts that included at
             least ten children identified with ADHD before age 10 years.
             ADHD was defined by either a clinical diagnosis or symptoms
             exceeding clinical cutoffs. Relative age was recorded as the
             month of birth in relation to the school-entry cutoff date.
             Study authors were invited to share raw data or to apply a
             script to analyse data locally and generate anonymised
             results. Our outcome was ADHD status at a diagnostic
             reassessment, conducted at least 4 years after the initial
             assessment and after age 10 years. No information on sex,
             gender, or ethnicity was collected. We did a two-stage
             random-effects individual participant data meta-analysis to
             assess the association of relative age with persistence of
             ADHD at follow-up. This study was registered with PROSPERO,
             CRD42020212650. FINDINGS: Of 33 119 studies generated by
             our search, we identified 130 eligible unique studies and
             were able to gather individual participant data from 57
             prospective studies following up 6504 children with ADHD.
             After exclusion of 16 studies in regions with a flexible
             school entry system that did not allow confident linkage of
             birthdate to relative age, the primary analysis included 41
             studies in 15 countries following up 4708 children for a
             period of 4 to 33 years. We found that younger relative age
             was not statistically significantly associated with ADHD
             persistence at follow-up (odds ratio 1·02, 95% CI
             0·99-1·06; p=0·19). We observed statistically significant
             heterogeneity in our model (Q=75·82, p=0·0011, I2=45%).
             Participant-level sensitivity analyses showed similar
             results in cohorts with a robust relative age effect at
             baseline and when restricting to cohorts involving children
             with a clinical diagnosis of ADHD or with a follow-up
             duration of more than 10 years. INTERPRETATION: The
             diagnosis of ADHD in younger children in a class is no more
             likely to be disconfirmed over time than that of older
             children in the class. One interpretation is that the
             relative age effect decreases the likelihood of children of
             older relative age receiving a diagnosis of ADHD, and
             another is that assigning a diagnostic label of ADHD leads
             to unexplored carryover effects of the initial diagnosis
             that persist over time. Future studies should be conducted
             to explore these interpretations further. FUNDING:

   Abstract = {Adolescents are in a dynamic period of cognitive, emotional,
             and behavioral development. School-based interventions that
             focus on social-emotional learning, including the
             development of self-regulation skills, have been shown to
             have positive impacts on students’ mental health and
             academic achievement. In this qualitative study, we examine
             health education teachers’ and school counselors’ views
             of their students’ challenges and their strategies for
             supporting students’ social and emotional development. We
             conducted 16 focus groups and interviews with 24 educators:
             16 middle level health education teachers and eight school
             counselors. Our qualitative analysis of the transcripts
             indicated that both teachers and counselors described the
             contexts for students’ challenges as related to
             academic/school pressures, social media, peer relationships,
             and home influences. Educators also identified students’
             challenges as being related to their developmental stage,
             challenges with impulsive behaviors, and difficulty
             regulating emotions. Strategies for supporting students’
             self-regulation included day-to-day interactions, skills
             instruction and practice, positive teacher-student
             relationships, and a structured classroom environment.
             Implications for professional development for middle level
             educators and the implementation of preventive interventions
             are discussed.},

   Title = {Beyond parental wealth: Grandparental wealth and the
             transition to adulthood},
   Journal = {Research in Social Stratification and Mobility},
   Volume = {89},

   Abstract = {This study considers the multigenerational consequences of
             wealth transmission for the transition to young adulthood.
             Using a wider set of outcomes than has previously been
             considered, and by analyzing parental and grandparental
             wealth simultaneously, this work underscores the salience of
             multiple generations of wealth as a predictor for young
             adult well-being. Data comes from the US Panel Study of
             Income Dynamics on a sample of youth followed from
             mid-adolescence until the age of 20. Results from linear
             regression models indicate that parental wealth was
             associated with increases in the probability of college
             attendance and steady employment and inversely associated
             with the likelihood of nonmarital birth and idleness.
             Grandparental wealth predicted non-educational outcomes at
             least as well as parental wealth did and explained more
             variance in young adults’ outcomes when parental wealth
             was lower. The association between parental wealth and
             non-educational outcomes suggest that wealth may inform
             young adults’ broader life course by predicting outcomes
             other than college attendance. Grandparental wealth may
             serve a compensatory function for children with low parental
             wealth. Results suggest that persistently low wealth across
             multiple generations may impede the successful transition to
             young adulthood.},

   Abstract = {The COVID-19 pandemic spurred an economic downturn that may
             have eroded population mental health, especially for renters
             and homeowners who experienced financial hardship and were
             at risk of housing loss. Using household-level data from the
             Census Bureau's Household Pulse Survey (n = 805,223; August
             2020-August 2021) and state-level data on
             eviction/foreclosure bans, we estimated linear probability
             models with two-way fixed effects to (1) examine links
             between COVID-related financial hardship and
             anxiety/depression and (2) assess whether state
             eviction/foreclosure bans buffered the detrimental mental
             health impacts of financial hardship. Findings show that
             individuals who reported difficulty paying for household
             expenses and keeping up with rent or mortgage had increased
             anxiety and depression risks but that state
             eviction/foreclosure bans weakened these associations. Our
             findings underscore the importance of state policies in
             protecting mental health and suggest that heterogeneity in
             state responses may have contributed to mental health
             inequities during the pandemic.},

   Abstract = {This study broadens the traditional focus on income as the
             primary measure of economic deprivation by providing the
             first analysis of wealth deprivation, or net worth poverty
             (NWP), and adult health. Net worth poverty-having wealth
             (assets minus debts) less than one-fourth of the federal
             poverty line-likely exacerbates the negative effects of
             income poverty (IP). In 2019, one-third of US households
             were net worth poor, with substantially higher rates among
             Black (60%) relative to White (25%) households. We estimate
             longitudinal growth curve (i.e., linear mixed effects)
             models to test how NWP, IP, and the interaction of the two
             predict a diverse set of health measures. We also consider
             whether NWP resulting from either low assets or high debts
             is more predictive of health outcomes and test for
             heterogeneous associations by race. Data come from Panel
             Study of Income Dynamics on 8,962 individuals ages 25 to 64,
             observed between 2011 and 2019 (n = 26,776). Adjusting for
             income poverty, net worth poverty, relative to no poverty,
             was associated with a one-quarter to one-third increase in
             the likelihood of reporting poor self-rated health,
             psychological distress, and work limitations. Simultaneously
             experiencing both NWP and IP was associated with the largest
             deficits. Both asset-driven (low asset) and debt-driven
             (high debt) NWP reduced health, but asset-driven NWP had
             stronger associations (e.g., a 5-percentage point increase
             of being in poor health, twice that of debt-driven). White,
             relative to Black, adults exhibited statistically larger
             associations for psychological distress (4.3 vs 1.1
             percentage points) and work limitations (3.7 vs. 1.5
             percentage points). White and Black adults who were jointly
             net worth and income poor exhibited the most disadvantage.
             Findings underscore how wealth is a critical component of
             financial deprivation and that wealth deprivation,
             particularly the lack of assets, merits attention in
             socioeconomic studies of health inequalities.},

   Abstract = {With the increasing sophistication of online survey tools
             and the necessity of distanced research during the COVID-19
             pandemic, the use of online questionnaires for research
             purposes has proliferated. Still, many researchers undertake
             online survey research without knowledge of the prevalence
             and likelihood of experiencing survey questionnaire fraud
             nor familiarity with measures used to identify fraud once it
             has occurred. This research note is based on the experience
             of researchers across four sites who implemented an online
             survey of families’ experiences with COVID-19 in the U.S.
             that was subject to substantial fraud. By the end of data
             collection, over 70% of responses were flagged as fraudulent
             with duplicate IP addresses and concurrent start/end times
             representing the most common indicators of fraud observed.
             We offer lessons learned to illustrate the sophisticated
             nature of fraud in online research and the importance of
             multi-pronged strategies to detect and limit online survey
             questionnaire fraud.},
