Reports of hate crimes and violence against Asian Americans have made headlines across the United States in the past year, prompting calls to increase the community’s visibility to combat negative stereotypes and misconceptions.
But large data gaps exist about Asians and their experiences in America. Why are those stories missing? And what can the research community do to bring them to light?
The Pew Research Center and a panel of distinguished experts for a look at recent research on Asian Americans as they explore how to close those data gaps and how better data can serve policymakers, the press, and advocates.
Getting shot, trouble with the law, teen pregnancy, anxiety/depression, bullying, and substance abuse are concerns many parents have about their children. The data shows:
- Relatively few minors are shot each year, but black youth are disproportionately affected.
- Overall juvenile arrest rates have declined but remain highest for black youth.
- Teen pregnancy rates have dropped significantly nationwide since 1991 but still vary by state and race.
- Around 1 in 4 teens experience anxiety disorders and 1 in 10 experience depression. Rates are higher for girls.
- Bullying remains an issue, though data is limited, and substance use has declined from peak levels in the 1990s.
Pew research new demography of mothers (5.20.10)irishdem2
The document summarizes changes in the demographics of motherhood in the United States between 1990 and 2008 based on data from the National Center for Health Statistics and Census Bureau. Key findings include:
1) Mothers are older on average now than in 1990. The share of births to teens declined while the share to women 35 and older increased.
2) Unmarried motherhood increased sharply, with 41% of 2008 births to unmarried women compared with 28% in 1990.
3) The racial makeup of mothers changed, with whites declining from 65% to 53% of mothers and Hispanics increasing from 17% to 24% of mothers.
There is a correlation between animal abuse and violent human behavior. Reports show that domestic violence often involves both animal abuse and child abuse occurring in the home. Notorious criminals have histories of animal cruelty and other crimes. Laws aim to improve cross-reporting of animal abuse, child abuse, and domestic violence cases to allow for earlier detection and prevention of violence.

Children ages 2-5 begin developing their unique sense of self and recognize ethnic differences, though their exposure to other cultures is limited by caregivers. Cross-culturally adopted children do not differ in self-esteem or adjustment compared to same-race adoptees, and those adopted at a younger age tend to do better. Gender roles and identity form during this age, with notions of sex-typed play emerging at age 3 and gender stability by age 4. Poverty has negative effects, especially in the first 5 years, though programs like WIC, Head Start, and school nutrition programs can help mitigate impacts.
Steve Vitto :A Case for Tarheted Imterventions and PBISSteve Vitto
The document discusses factors that place children at risk of academic failure and identifies targeted interventions that can help support at-risk students. It notes that children from low-income families or who experience issues like poverty, lack of early literacy exposure, family instability, or behavioral/emotional problems are particularly vulnerable. The document advocates for early and individualized interventions in school, including strengthening student engagement, self-esteem, organizational skills, and relationships, to improve outcomes for at-risk children.
Every 10 minutes a teenager in Texas gets pregnant. Sexual activity among Texas teens is higher than the national average, and teens engage in different types of sex at early ages. This leads to high rates of sexually transmitted infections, teen births, and repeat pregnancies. While most Americans support comprehensive sex education, many Texas teens do not receive formal education about birth control and safe sex practices before becoming sexually active. Increased access to effective sex education programs could help reduce negative health and social outcomes for Texas youth.

SECRECY IN THE CHILD’S BEST INTEREST
Most families cannot accept a child with ambiguous genitalia or mixed reproductive organs. In elementary school, bathrooms do not exist for males, females, and others. For normal development, a child must have a gender identity. Therefore, it is best for the child to have a clear gender assigned, one way or the other, than to have a mixed one or none at all.
Consider normal social expectations: everyone who knows a pregnant woman wants to know the gender of her baby at birth. Many people learn the gender of the fetus before birth, setting up a definite expectation. Families express disgust at going home with, not a boy or girl, but an “it.”
Intersex children are often bullied or battered when they try to use the “wrong” bathroom in public places.17 Androgyny, having the appearance and affect of neither gender, is not a good option. If the person's sexual orientation is heterosexual, others will mistakenly interpret the lack of a clear gender as evidence of homosexual orientation.
Furthermore, most children do not need to know about their problems at birth with ambiguous genitalia. If such problems can be corrected, or given a better appearance, then the adult can live and function normally. In fact, some people may not even know they were “sexed” at birth and still live happy lives.
Finally, surgeons and parents at birth do the best they can. They believed that lack of gender at birth was a social emergency and that decision had to be made. It is wrong to second-guess them years later.
ENDING THE SHAME AND SECRECY
In his 20s, David Reimer met Cheryl Chase, who soon became the leading advocate for intersex people and who argued that everyone should know his or her true origins and make their own decisions about their gender and sexuality.
At birth, Cheryl had ambiguous genitalia and was first sexed as a boy, but after 18 months and an unusual appearance, doctors decided to make her a girl. Cheryl's life refuted Money's claim that professionals can assign gender with happy results. Like some other intersex teenagers and adults, Cheryl never felt completely male or female and lived between genders.
Cheryl argues that, “What most harms the intersex child is the attitude that the child suffers from something shameful that must be concealed and never publicly acknowledged.”18 She argues that such children would be better off being told the truth and being allowed to choose, in early adolescence, which gender they want to be. Ideally, the parents would embrace the child as he/she is and not be ashamed.
In the late 1990s, Cheryl Chase and other intersex people challenged the view of Hopkins/Money that early surgery and hormones were good for intersex children. They picketed a meeting in 1996 of the American Academy of Pediatrics. With David Reimer's public testimony falsifying Money's claims that biology doesn't matter to gender, other intersex people emerged and ...
Health and Health Care for Hispanics in the United States - Updated January 2018KFF
Hispanics make up nearly 1 in 5 of the US population and are projected to account for 1 in 4 people by 2045. They face greater health challenges such as higher rates of obesity, diabetes, HIV diagnosis, and teen birth compared to whites. Hispanics also experience greater barriers to healthcare access, with higher rates of being uninsured, having no usual source of care, and not seeing a doctor or dentist in the last year. Additionally, Hispanics are more likely to face other social determinants of poorer health such as lower levels of education, food insecurity, and unsafe neighborhoods. While the uninsured rate for Hispanics declined under the Affordable Care Act, they are still more likely than whites to
This document discusses proactively ending child abuse in the United States. It notes that organizations like the Parent Enhancement Program in Oregon seek to cure child abuse and neglect by addressing its underlying causes or symptoms. The document provides statistics on the high rates of child abuse and neglect in the U.S., especially among young children, and discusses the negative long-term health, behavioral, and relationship consequences of experiencing abuse as a child. Risk factors for abuse, like teenage parenthood, premature or difficult infants, lack of parenting knowledge, and negative attitudes towards childrearing are also examined. The document concludes by advocating for educating youth on childcare, development, and stress reduction to help reduce instances of abuse stemming from a
This document provides information from various sources about the impacts of illiteracy and empowering women through literacy. It begins with statistics showing high illiteracy rates in the US and its social costs, including impacts on employment, income, health, and involvement in the criminal justice system. It then discusses how literacy can empower women by improving prospects for employment, personal finance, healthcare choices, and legal rights. The document advocates for grassroots literacy efforts like reading programs and adult literacy tutoring to address these issues.

Article “It’s a Quick Way to Get What You Want”: Formative Exportation about HIV Risk within Urban Massachusetts Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM) Who Attend Sex Parties” had been the article obtained from AIDS Patient Care along with STD Journal this had been published within Oct of the year 2010. Authors of the article are Mimiaga M. J., Bland S., Reisner L. Sari, Isenberg D., Cranston K., Van Derwarker R. Driscoll A. Maura, and Mayer K. Major concentration of research had been to investigate HIV sexual risk behaviors about MSM which reported attending as well as hosting sex parties within the Massachusetts in last twelve months.
Men who have sex among men at those sex parties have been at the bigger risk of getting HIV or the STI because of the fact that there have been rest of the factors included such as alcohol, drugs, higher mean of the anonymous partners, along with unprotected sex (Migiaga, 2010). This research happened at Fenway Health, a health care and research facility. There had been forty preselected participants which finished the in depth, semi structured qualitative interview along with the interviewer administered comprehensive quantitative assessment series for 1 hour and half. This study or interviews had been done through one of 2 trained interviewers.
The asked questions as, How would we define the sex party? While did we start hosting or attending the sex parties? Describe sex parties we attended or hosted? Have condoms along with lube present at those parties? What type of sexual behaviors do men involve in along with what HIV as well as Sexual Transmitted Infection risk behaviors do we see for happening? Do we organize or participates such parties? Any of the rules include in the parties?
When asking such questions, they assessed psycho-social factor such as anxiety, depression, alcohols used problematic as well as history of the alcohol or drug abuse along with trauma history such as child-hood sexual abuse. Results or the conclusion of study advised that men who had attended such parties have been at very much risk for acquiring and transmitting HIV because of reasons explaining in the whole the article (Migiaga, 2010).
“Party, Play—And Pay” had been article taken from “Newsweek Journal”, which had been published in the year of 2005 (Jefferson, 2005). Such article provided brief detailed account of what the sex party of men on the crystal meth has been as otherwise called as “Party & Play”, or as a short form “PnP”. Authors discuss sex party’s scene like room of approximately thirty to forty men paying twenty dollars piece to host of such party, they had put each of their belong in the hefty bag for the safe-keeping when they walk-around in nude by having the sex with many partners un-protected as well as us.
Black mothers and babies in the US face significantly higher rates of pregnancy-related mortality and infant mortality compared to white counterparts. From 2007-2016, the pregnancy-related mortality ratio for black women was 40.8 per 100,000 live births, over 3 times the rate of 12.7 for white women. The infant mortality rate for black infants in 2018 was 10.8 per 1,000 live births, over twice the rate of 4.6 for white children. Researchers like Dr. Rachel Hardeman and Dr. Fleda Jackson study how structural racism impacts these disparities and how to improve health outcomes.
Thank you to our Diversity & Inclusion Committee for sharing these important organizations and activists at the forefront of raising awareness in the fight for racial justice in maternal/infant health and HIV/AIDS management. As #BHM comes to a close, it’s important that we continue to prioritize our actions toward progress in the ongoing fight for racial equity in our health systems.
This document discusses the issue of sex-selective abortions in the United States and argues that legislation should be passed to ban this practice. It provides evidence from multiple studies that sex-selective abortions resulting in skewed gender ratios have occurred among some immigrant communities in the US. While not a widespread problem, the document estimates that tens of thousands of female fetuses have been aborted based on their gender among high-risk communities. It also discusses the more severe issues with sex-selective abortion in other countries like India and China in order to further argue that banning such practices is ethically justified.

Urban, African-American children often witness or experience violence which can negatively impact their development and behavior. Exposure to violence is associated with increased rates of post-traumatic stress disorder, behavioral issues, and lower academic achievement. Successful intervention programs require a multi-disciplinary community effort that addresses the root causes of violence in each neighborhood through parental involvement, religious guidance, education support, and conflict resolution training to build self-esteem.
This social policy research paper focuses on Child Welfare In the United States. The in the paper, the author gives a thorough history of the Child Welfare System as we know it. Trends and impacts on vulnerable populations within our society is also discussed.
Health and Health Care for Hispanics in the United States - updated May 2019KFF
This document summarizes health and healthcare trends among Hispanics in the United States. Some key points:
- Hispanics now make up nearly 1 in 5 of the total US population and are projected to account for over 1 in 4 by 2060.
- Hispanics face greater health challenges such as higher rates of obesity, diabetes, and fair/poor health status compared to whites.
- Access to healthcare is also more limited for Hispanics - they are more likely to be uninsured, lack a usual source of care, and go without care due to costs.
- While the Affordable Care Act helped reduce rates of uninsurance among both Hispanics and children, Hispanics still have
This study examined predictors of suicide attempts among adolescents attending Seventh-day Adventist schools in the US. It found depression to be the strongest predictor of suicide attempts. Having a negative family climate and less caring parenting also predicted higher rates of suicide attempts, while intrinsic religious orientation predicted lower rates. A survey of over 10,000 students found that depression, family relationships, parenting styles, and religious commitment were significant factors influencing suicidal ideation among this conservative religious group.

Amid Refugee Debate, Unaccompanied Syrian Children
Have Willing US Families Ready To Foster, Experts Say
BY MORGAN WINSOR @MORGANWINSOR ON 11/20/15 AT 12:30 PM
After the haunting image of a drowned Syrian refugee boy lying facedown on a Turkish
beach emerged in September, the phone lines at the Lutheran Immigrant and Refugee
Service started ringing virtually nonstop with a much higher volume of calls than usual.
Dozens of American parents and families were calling the Baltimore-based voluntary
resettlement agency asking if they could foster Syrian refugee children in need of homes.
“The flood of parents who wanted to foster was astonishing and heartwarming,”
Kimberly Haynes, director of child services at the agency, said. “The reality on the
ground is, people are empathetic and really have a heart for wanting to provide a home
for these kids. We’ve seen a spike in foster-family interest.”
Those sentiments, however, aren’t reflected in legislation passed Thursday in the
U.S. House of Representatives. The bill, an effort to halt President Barack Obama’s
program allowing Syrian refugees into the United States until key national security
agencies confirm they don’t pose a security risk, was passed by 242 Republicans and 47
Democrats. Last week's terrorist attacks in Paris, for which the Islamic State group
claimed responsibility, have stirred fears that radicalized youth will infiltrate the flow of
Syrian refugees accepted into the United States. A Syrian passport was found near the
body of one of the suicide bombers involved in those attacks.
In reality, experts said, few Syrian children will be accepted for refugee status in the
United States, and it could take years before they are resettled on American soil, due to
extensive security screening. The process is even more difficult for those who arrive
without parents or family.
More than 4 million Syrians -- half of them children -- have fled the war-torn Middle
East country since conflict broke out nearly five years ago, the United Nations Children’s
Fund said in September. The agency reported in 2014 that 8,000 children had fled Syria
without their parents -- a number that has likely surged since violence intensified this
year. In September, Obama called for his administration to accept 10,000 Syrian refugees
into the country during the current fiscal year, though he did not specify how many would
be children.
Republican New Jersey Gov. and presidential hopeful Chris Christie said the U.S. should
not accept any new Syrian refugees, not even young orphans. "I do not trust this
administration to effectively vet the people who are proposed to be coming in," he said in
an interview Monday with radio host Hugh Hewitt. When asked if he would make an
exception for "orphans under the age of 5," Christie said no.
"The fact is that we need appropriate vetting," he said, "and I don't think orphans under 5
... should be admitted into the United St.
This document discusses child abuse in Colorado and the challenges of identifying and prosecuting abuse cases. It describes a case of severe child abuse where 4 boys were found living in filth and neglect. It also profiles Dr. Kathryn Wells, who conducts medical examinations of abused children, and Detective Teresa Gessner, who investigates abuse allegations. The document examines the complex issues around balancing parental rights with child protection.
Here are some background statistics on the expanding US trend for grandparents to raise their grandchildren. I assembled the material for a class I taught in Dr. Susan Sered's course "United States Healthcare Landscapes", offered in Spring 2011 at Suffolk University.
"Students will work in teams of 3 to 4 members and lead the discussion of the readings and additional materials about one of the racial/ethnic groups covered in the course or another topic approved by the instructor. This will involve presenting a summary of the readings about assessment and treatment issues for the selected group. Disparities in mental health services for the group should also be reviewed along with solutions for resolving them. If another topic is selected, the team will be responsible for summarizing the literature on the topic. Students are encouraged to create a PowerPoint presentation on their topic and provide handouts to the class." Class Syllabus from Dr. Vida Dyson

The document discusses improving the value of American healthcare over the past 30 years. It notes that while various remedies like managed care plans, consumer directed plans, and accountable care organizations have been tried, healthcare costs still persist too high. The document suggests that large employers need to play a role by steering employees to higher value clinicians and lowering overall prices to finally address the ongoing issue of high healthcare spending in the United States.

Urban, African-American children often witness or experience violence which can negatively impact their development and behavior. Exposure to violence is associated with increased rates of post-traumatic stress disorder, behavioral issues, and lower academic achievement. Successful intervention programs require a multi-disciplinary community effort that addresses the root causes of violence in each neighborhood through parental involvement, religious guidance, education support, and conflict resolution training to build self-esteem.

Health and Health Care for Hispanics in the United States - updated May 2019KFF
This document summarizes health and healthcare trends among Hispanics in the United States. Some key points:
- Hispanics now make up nearly 1 in 5 of the total US population and are projected to account for over 1 in 4 by 2060.
- Hispanics face greater health challenges such as higher rates of obesity, diabetes, and fair/poor health status compared to whites.
- Access to healthcare is also more limited for Hispanics - they are more likely to be uninsured, lack a usual source of care, and go without care due to costs.
- While the Affordable Care Act helped reduce rates of uninsurance among both Hispanics and children, Hispanics still have
This study examined predictors of suicide attempts among adolescents attending Seventh-day Adventist schools in the US. It found depression to be the strongest predictor of suicide attempts. Having a negative family climate and less caring parenting also predicted higher rates of suicide attempts, while intrinsic religious orientation predicted lower rates. A survey of over 10,000 students found that depression, family relationships, parenting styles, and religious commitment were significant factors influencing suicidal ideation among this conservative religious group.

Amid Refugee Debate, Unaccompanied Syrian Children
Have Willing US Families Ready To Foster, Experts Say
BY MORGAN WINSOR @MORGANWINSOR ON 11/20/15 AT 12:30 PM
After the haunting image of a drowned Syrian refugee boy lying facedown on a Turkish
beach emerged in September, the phone lines at the Lutheran Immigrant and Refugee
Service started ringing virtually nonstop with a much higher volume of calls than usual.
Dozens of American parents and families were calling the Baltimore-based voluntary
resettlement agency asking if they could foster Syrian refugee children in need of homes.
“The flood of parents who wanted to foster was astonishing and heartwarming,”
Kimberly Haynes, director of child services at the agency, said. “The reality on the
ground is, people are empathetic and really have a heart for wanting to provide a home
for these kids. We’ve seen a spike in foster-family interest.”
Those sentiments, however, aren’t reflected in legislation passed Thursday in the
U.S. House of Representatives. The bill, an effort to halt President Barack Obama’s
program allowing Syrian refugees into the United States until key national security
agencies confirm they don’t pose a security risk, was passed by 242 Republicans and 47
Democrats. Last week's terrorist attacks in Paris, for which the Islamic State group
claimed responsibility, have stirred fears that radicalized youth will infiltrate the flow of
Syrian refugees accepted into the United States. A Syrian passport was found near the
body of one of the suicide bombers involved in those attacks.
In reality, experts said, few Syrian children will be accepted for refugee status in the
United States, and it could take years before they are resettled on American soil, due to
extensive security screening. The process is even more difficult for those who arrive
without parents or family.
More than 4 million Syrians -- half of them children -- have fled the war-torn Middle
East country since conflict broke out nearly five years ago, the United Nations Children’s
Fund said in September. The agency reported in 2014 that 8,000 children had fled Syria
without their parents -- a number that has likely surged since violence intensified this
year. In September, Obama called for his administration to accept 10,000 Syrian refugees
into the country during the current fiscal year, though he did not specify how many would
be children.
Republican New Jersey Gov. and presidential hopeful Chris Christie said the U.S. should
not accept any new Syrian refugees, not even young orphans. "I do not trust this
administration to effectively vet the people who are proposed to be coming in," he said in
an interview Monday with radio host Hugh Hewitt. When asked if he would make an
exception for "orphans under the age of 5," Christie said no.
"The fact is that we need appropriate vetting," he said, "and I don't think orphans under 5
... should be admitted into the United St.

Here are some background statistics on the expanding US trend for grandparents to raise their grandchildren. I assembled the material for a class I taught in Dr. Susan Sered's course "United States Healthcare Landscapes", offered in Spring 2011 at Suffolk University.
"Students will work in teams of 3 to 4 members and lead the discussion of the readings and additional materials about one of the racial/ethnic groups covered in the course or another topic approved by the instructor. This will involve presenting a summary of the readings about assessment and treatment issues for the selected group. Disparities in mental health services for the group should also be reviewed along with solutions for resolving them. If another topic is selected, the team will be responsible for summarizing the literature on the topic. Students are encouraged to create a PowerPoint presentation on their topic and provide handouts to the class." Class Syllabus from Dr. Vida Dyson

This document discusses how social stress from factors like neighborhood conditions, discrimination, and adverse childhood experiences can impact health and aging through biological pathways. Chronic stress gets under the skin by affecting telomere length, inflammation levels, epigenetic aging, and other regulatory systems. Studies show that social stress is associated with shorter telomeres in both human and animal research. Addressing social stress requires efforts at the individual, community, and policy levels to reduce health disparities and promote healthy aging.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.
