Food insecurity and childhood outcomes: a cross-sectional analysis of 2016-2020 National Survey of Children's Health data.

Context: Racial inequalities across social determinants of health (SDOHs) are often influenced by discriminatory policies that reinforce systems that further uphold these disparities. There is limited data describing the influence of food insecurity (FI) on childhood racial discrimination.

Objectives: Our objective was to determine if the likelihood of experiencing racial discrimination was exacerbated by FI.

Association and disparities of food insecurity and exposure to violence: analysis of the National Survey of Children's Health.

Context: Lack of access to food is a significant concern for child well-being, and it creates many health disparities and adverse social outcomes. Food insecurity and its many associated risk factors increase parental stress, which are strongly correlated with an increased risk of child abuse and maltreatment. Research now identifies being witness to domestic abuse as a form of child maltreatment, and exposure to violence in the community has been shown to result in similar long-term impacts.

Comparing Self-Reported and Aggregated Racial Classification for American Indian/Alaska Native Youths in YRBSS: 2021.

To identify how race and ethnicity were reclassified with survey variables for children self-reporting as American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) using the 2021 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS). We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's 2021 YRBSS. YRBSS collects behaviors and demographics of students in grades 9 through 12, including race and ethnicity via self-report, and then reclassifies data into a "raceeth" variable.

Associations of social determinants of health and childhood obesity: a cross-sectional analysis of the 2021 National Survey of Children's Health.

Context: Childhood obesity is a growing health problem in the United States, with those affected having an increased likelihood of developing chronic diseases at a younger age. Social determinants of health (SDOH) are known to influence overall health. Families who are of low socioeconomic status (SES) have also been shown to be more likely to experience food insecurity.

The Impact of Montelukast's Black Box Warning on Pediatric Mental Health Adverse Event Reports.

Objective: In March 2020, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) required a black box warning for montelukast due to serious mental health side effects. We hypothesized the warning would lead to an overall decrease in reports of mental health symptoms and disorders related to montelukast in both -pre-adolescent and adolescent groups.

Methods: Adverse events of pre-adolescent and adolescent children taking montelukast sodium were reviewed from March 1, 2018 to March 3, 2020 and March 4, 2020 to February 28, 2022 using the FDA's Adverse Events Reporting System.

Trends and forecasted rates of adverse childhood experiences among adults in the United States: an analysis of the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.

Context: Many studies have shown increases in negative social aspects in the United States that may increase the likelihood of a child experiencing adversity. These rising trends include household dysfunction, poor mental health and substance use, crime rates, and incarceration. Additionally, the pathway of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) may also perpetuate intergenerational trauma.

and What Clinicians Should Know About Present-Day Child Abuse and Legacies of Forced Migration.

In 1997, Jimcy McGirt was convicted by the State of Oklahoma for sex crimes against a minor. McGirt appealed his conviction, citing that Oklahoma lacked jurisdiction over the case due to his tribal citizenship, since the crime took place on tribal territory. On July 9, 2020, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) reversed the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals' original decision for the case, citing that Congress had failed to disestablish reservations with regard to the Major Crimes Act, which gave the federal government jurisdiction over major felony crimes perpetrated by Native Americans on reservations.

Racial discrimination among children in the United States from 2016 to 2020: an analysis of the National Survey of Children's Health.

Context: Sociological research has linked racism and discrimination among children to poorer health outcomes and social conditions later in life.

Objectives: Given the change in the political climate in the United States, highly publicized deaths of Black men and women by police, and the rise in hate crimes against Asian Americans from 2016 through 2020, our primary objective was to assess trends in racial or ethnic discrimination among children in the United States.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH), a nationally representative survey, utilizing data from 2016 to 2020.

Trends in public interest in child abuse in the United States: An infodemiology study of Google Trends from 2004 to 2022.

Introduction: More than 1 in 7 children in the United States experience abuse annually with rates remaining consistent over the past 2 decades. During this timeframe, several high-profile cases of child abuse and neglect were publicized in national media in addition to multiple investigations uncovering Indigenous children dying from abuse at Indian Boarding Schools. Increased media attention among other public health and medical topics has been linked to increased public interest, thus, our objective was to investigate trends in public interest from 2004 to 2022.
