This secondary analysis examined the impact of respondent-level factors on scores on the (SIS-C) for children and youth with intellectual disability to determine if there were any significant differences in the SIS-C scores by different respondent pairs when considering children's age, intellectual functioning level, and adaptive behavior level. Results indicated whenever a pair of respondents included a teacher or a paraprofessional, the support needs scores were lower than when the pair included a family member. Moreover, there was a significant interaction effect across respondent pairing, child age, and child intellectual functioning levels as well as across respondent pairing, child age, and child adaptive behavior levels. Implications for administration and use of the SIS-C are provided.

Housing is a pressing problem worldwide and a key determinant of health and wellbeing. The right to adequate housing, as a pillar of the right to an adequate standard of living, means more than a roof to live under. Adequate means the dwelling must fulfill material functions and psychosocial functions, thus contributing to dwellers health and wellbeing.

Conservationists increasingly aim to understand human behaviour to inform intervention design. However, obtaining information from people about their behaviour can be challenging, particularly if the research topic is considered sensitive. Topic sensitivity may raise methodological, ethical, political and legal concerns which, if poorly addressed, can have significant impacts on research participants, the research process, data quality and the success of conservation outcomes that are informed by research findings.

This quasi-experimental study examined whether "sanctuary city" policies are an effective mechanism for reducing mental health inequalities by immigrant origin status in Latinx populations in California. Ample evidence indicates that people experience mental health problems when restrictive immigration policies are imposed. It remains unclear whether sanctuary city policies can improve population mental health in the groups targeted by restrictive immigration policies: undocumented immigrant Latinxs, documented immigrant Latinxs, and native-born Latinxs.

Background: Medical care delivery has been substantially disrupted during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, leading to delays in medical care, particularly among older adults. Less is known about how these delays have affected different segments of this population. Understanding the negative health consequences older adults face from delayed care will provide critical insights into the longer-term population health needs following the pandemic.

Unlabelled: National valuation studies are costly, with ∼1000 face-to-face interviews recommended, and some countries may deem such studies infeasible. Building on previous studies exploring sample size, we determined the effect of sample size and alternative model specifications on prediction accuracy of modeled coefficients in EQ-5D-5L value set generating regression analyses. Data sets ( = 50 to ∼1000) were simulated from 3 valuation studies, resampled at the respondent level and randomly drawn 1000 times with replacement.
