Family Disadvantage, Education, and Health Outcomes Among Black Youths
Key Points Question Are there associations of childhood disadvantage and educational attainment with mental and physical health among Black youths? Findings In this cohort study of 329 Black youths, those who grew up in economically disadvantaged households and graduated college displayed an adult profile of better mental health and less substance use but also a proinflammatory phenotype and greater likelihood of metabolic syndrome compared with those not graduating.
Appeals from the Trustee’s Disallowance of Property Claims: Uncertainties Ahead
In bankruptcy proceedings, a creditor who wishes to participate in the distribution of the bankrupt’s estate or other person claiming an interest in property within the estate must deliver a proof of claim to the trustee. If a claim is disallowed by the trustee, the creditor or claimant can appeal that decision to the Supreme Court as of right.
Racial Disparities in School Belonging and Prospective Associations With Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome
Key Points Question Are racial disparities in high school students’ sense of school belonging associated with cardiometabolic health in adulthood? Findings In this cohort study of a national sample of 4830 US children, adolescents, and young adults, attending a school that had a greater Black-White gap in school belonging was associated with an increased risk of diabetes and more risk factors for metabolic syndrome 13 years later among Black students.
The balance of giving versus receiving social support and all-cause mortality in a US national sample
Significance Social support is a key contributor to mortality risk, with effects comparable in magnitude (though opposite in direction) to smoking and obesity. Research has largely focused on either support received or support given; yet, everyday social relationships typically involve interchanges of support rather than only giving or only receiving.
Effect of Volunteering on Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease in Adolescents: A Randomized Controlled Trial
April 2013 JAMA Pediatr. 2013;167(4):327-332. doi:10.1001/jamapediatrics.2013.1100 Importance The idea that individuals who help others incur health benefits themselves suggests a novel approach to improving health while simultaneously promoting greater civic orientation in our society. The present study is the first experimental trial, to our knowledge, of whether regular volunteering can reduce cardiovascular risk factors in adolescents.

Neighborhood Social Conditions, Family Relationships, and Childhood Asthma
Abstract BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Poor neighborhood conditions have established associations with poorer child health, but little is known about protective factors that mitigate the effects of difficult neighborhood conditions. In this study, we tested if positive family relationships can buffer youth who live in dangerous and/or disorderly neighborhoods from poor asthma outcomes.

Association of Reports of Childhood Abuse and All-Cause Mortality Rates in Women
A major limitation of this study is the retrospective assessment of childhood abuse. While we have interpreted these findings as indicative of an effect of childhood abuse exposure on later-life mortality, we must caution that the retrospective and self-reported nature of the abuse measure means that other explanations are always possible and that these reports may not necessarily be an accurate representation of what happened in these participants’ childhoods.
