Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Alzheimer's Disease: A Literature Review. Cultural Competence

Cultural competency is especially important in the health care setting, where barriers to communication and access to quality care can result in delayed diagnosis, inappropriate treatment, or worse. Cultural competence involves both awareness and knowledge about other cultures and skill in relating to people of other cultures. Cultural competence

Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Alzheimer's Disease: A Literature Review. Interventions to Reduce Racial and Ethnic Disparities

Although there is extensive evidence documenting disparities among different racial and ethnic groups with Alzheimer's disease, there are few studies evaluating interventions to address disparities in this population. Almost all interventions designed to explicitly address racial and ethnic disparities focus on cultural competency on the part of t

Low-Income Men at the Margins Caught at the Intersection of Race, Place, and Poverty. Education

Higher educational attainment can be a ticket out of poverty and a pathway to steady lifetime employment. For many low-income men, however, educational experiences are a stumbling block to higher achievement, both academic and professional. These men are less likely to have completed high school or to have pursued postsecondary education.

Trends in the Use of Early Care and Education, 1995-2011: Descriptive Analysis of Child Care Arrangements from National Survey Data. Maternal Marital Status

Public preschool enrollment increased for both children with married mothers (from 15 to 25 percent) and for children with non-married mothers (from 30 to 36 percent; marginally significant; Figure 25), although the children of married mothers were consistently less likely to attend public preschool and more likely to attend private preschool than

Trends in the Use of Early Care and Education, 1995-2011: Descriptive Analysis of Child Care Arrangements from National Survey Data. Family Income

The NHES and CPS both show large stable differences in enrollment in private and public ECE for three- and four-year-old children by family income. At higher levels of income, children were more likely to be enrolled in private centers or those with a family payment than in public centers or those without a family payment. At lower levels of i

Trends in the Use of Early Care and Education, 1995-2011: Descriptive Analysis of Child Care Arrangements from National Survey Data. Trends among preschool-aged children

The CPS showed an increase in public preschool enrollment among three- and four-year-old children and a corresponding decrease in private preschool enrollment between 1995 and 2011. As seen in Figure 14, public enrollment rose by nine percentage points from 20 percent in 1995 to 29 percent in 2011. Conversely, attendance in private preschools

Trends in the Use of Early Care and Education, 1995-2011: Descriptive Analysis of Child Care Arrangements from National Survey Data. Financing of ECE

In the CPS, parents report whether their children attend “public or private school.” In the NHES, parents report whether there is “any charge or fee for this [early care and education] program, paid either by you or some other person or agency.” Although “public” could be thought of as not having a charge or fee (as with Head Start and

Trends in the Use of Early Care and Education, 1995-2011: Descriptive Analysis of Child Care Arrangements from National Survey Data. Center-based care and Preschool

Previous research has shown that the percentage of children ages three and four reported by the CPS as being in “nursery school” or “preschool” is similar to the percentage of children reported by the NHES as participating in “center-based care”, which might include day care centers, preschools, prekindergarten, or (Early) Head Start p

Trends in the Use of Early Care and Education, 1995-2011: Descriptive Analysis of Child Care Arrangements from National Survey Data. Family Income and ECE Use

There was a large and consistent difference in the use of center-based care and education by family income across this time period. Among children under age five, 27 percent of children with a family income below 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) participated in center-based care compared to 40 percent of their peers with family incom

Trends in the Use of Early Care and Education, 1995-2011: Descriptive Analysis of Child Care Arrangements from National Survey Data. Child Age and ECE Use

Center care participation has remained consistently higher among preschool-aged children than infants and toddlers. Yet, most of the growth in the use of center care from 1995 to 2005 occurred among children under age three. For example, the number of two-year-olds in center-based care increased from 18 to 28 percent between 1995 and 2005. By 2005
