We leverage the onset of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in childhood to estimate the impact of a childhood health shock on parental labor supply. T1D is the second most common childhood chronic physical health condition, inheritability is low, the exact cause is unknown, the onset is unpredictable, and receiving treatment is crucial to survival. Using Danish administrative registry data with both an event study and difference-in-differences analysis shows that mothers shift to part-time work, marginally shift from the private to public sector, and experience a long-term 4-5% decrease in wage income. The dynamic effects reveal large initial impacts, but the magnitudes decrease (although are not eliminated) over time. Fathers do not experience any long-term reduction in wage income. This suggests part of the motherhood penalty is likely due to mothers bearing the economic burden when their child is diagnosed with a chronic health condition.

Introduction: Globally, the prevalence of undernutrition is highest in the sub-Saharan African region with over a third of the world's stunted children residing in this region. Many studies have explored child nutrition in sub-Saharan Africa, but they often overlook the intricate nuances of maternal knowledge. We examined the association between maternal nutritional knowledge and childhood nutritional outcomes.

Background: Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cancer experience long-term consequences into survivorship that impact quality of life, including mental health symptoms, substance use, and persistent pain. Given the elevated rates of pain, AYA cancer survivors are at increased risk for opioid pain medication (OPM) exposure, increasing risk for opioid-related negative consequences, particularly for those with mental health symptoms. Minimal research has documented that a considerable proportion of AYAs with cancer receive OPM that continues into survivorship, yet the lack of consensus on the definition of problematic opioid use coupled with the high clinical need for OPM makes it particularly challenging to understand the impact of OPM use in this population.
