Objectives: To understand processes contributing to Chinese American adolescents' civic engagement, our study examined: (a) the mediating role of Chinese American adolescents' ethnic identity resolution in the associations between their parents' cultural socialization and their own civic engagement (i.e., political participation and civil participation), (b) the moderating role of parents' racial socialization competency in the association between parents' cultural socialization and adolescents' ethnic identity resolution, and (c) the moderating role of adolescents' behavioral acculturation toward American culture in the associations between adolescents' ethnic identity resolution and civic engagement.
Method: Participants included 303 Chinese American adolescents aged 10-18 years old ( = 14.1, = 2.2; 50% girls) and their parents ( = 44.1 years, = 6.0; 78% mothers).
Results: Chinese American parents' cultural socialization was positively related to their adolescents' ethnic identity resolution, which in turn contributed to adolescents' greater political participation and civil participation. The positive association between parents' cultural socialization and adolescents' ethnic identity resolution was further strengthened by parents' greater racial socialization competency. Moreover, a complex moderating effect of adolescents' behavioral participation in American society was revealed, in which adolescents' ethnic identity resolution was significantly associated with greater political participation only when they also had high levels of behavioral acculturation. Conversely, the relation between adolescents' ethnic identity resolution and their civil participation was not dependent on their behavioral acculturation level.
Conclusion: Our study highlighted the joint contribution of adolescent and parenting factors in promoting different forms of youth civic engagement in Chinese American families. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

Background: Those with neurological disorders like cerebral palsy (CP) may experience an altered impact of social determinates of health on child functioning and well-being. We investigated the relationship between relative social advantage and medical and functional outcomes in a large cohort of children, adolescents and young adults with CP (n = 1269, aged 2-84 years).
Methods: We extracted data from the Cerebral Palsy Research Registry and dichotomized a range of independent factors (income, ethnicity and race) into advantaged and disadvantaged/vulnerable and a range of medical and functional outcomes (gross motor, manual ability, behaviour, breathing, nutritional intake, hearing, seizures, language and vision) and computed odds ratios using logistic regression.

Connecticut Children's, Hartford, Connecticut, USA.
Background: Racial disparities in access to kidney transplantation (KT) have been described among children with end-stage renal disease in the United States. It has been suggested that these disparities stem from a combination of clinical and socioeconomic factors.
Methods: We evaluated data from the US Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) of all pediatric (< 18 years old) KT recipients from 1999 to 2014 and compared outcomes by race or ethnicity: Hispanic, non-Hispanic Whites (NHW), and non-Hispanic Blacks (NHB).
Changes in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Activities of Family Medicine Departments.
Fam Med
December 2024
Department of Family and Community Medicine, UMass Chan Medical School, Worcester, MA.
Background And Objectives: Institutional racism causes worse health outcomes for patients of racial/ethnic minority groups via limited access to health care, disparities in quality of care delivered, and lack of physician diversity. Increased attention to racism in 2020 led many medical institutions to examine their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts. In the context of increased national attention to health equity, this study sought to investigate the current status of DEI infrastructure by evaluating leadership and support related to DEI in family medicine departments in 2020 and 2021.
