To use recent, national data to examine correlates of smoking before, during, and after pregnancy; quitting smoking during pregnancy; and relapsing by 24 months postpartum.
Multivariate logistic regression models used data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort and accounted for relevant socio-demographic, clinical, and contextual...
Over the past 30years, a prominent stream of research has addressed the conceptualization and measurement of child well-being
and the construction of child well-being indices. This paper extends this accumulating body of research in five ways. First,
an index of child well-being for US children ages 6–11 is constructed using individual children (mi...
This paper uses recent data on U.S. children from the National Survey of America’s Families (NSAF) to create indices that
tally the number of problems or risks that individual children experience. We compare results with those from indices developed
elsewhere that assess the change across sets of population-level indicators. While the two types of...
Adolescents who volunteer do better in school, feel more positive about themselves, and avoid risky behaviors (for example, using drugs). Teens who participate in service activities also are more likely to vote, and to have a positive work ethic and a socially responsible attitude as adults. In addition to benefits for the individual, the contribut...
BACKGROUND School-age children and adolescents in the United States have a lot of discretionary time (6.5 to 8 hours per day). 1 Participating in organized out-of-school time programs and activities is one constructive and safe way that children can spend their free time. 2 These activities can provide supervision, fun, and opportunities to develop...

... As emphasized by Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory (Bronfenbrenner, 1979), contextual factors such as family and neighborhood environments play an important role in child development. However, analysis of the NSCH also identified large gaps with regard to family-level and neighborhood-level aspects of well-being, which include factors such as home and neighborhood safety, parent functioning, and neighborhood social support (Moore et al., 2011b). These national findings demonstrate a need for health care systems to intervene to help young children achieve wellness and establish trajectories that support wellbeing across the life course. ...

... In contrast, teens in higher SES families may be more involved in extra-curricular activities with peers (e.g. Theokas & Bloch, 2006), providing more time to socialize and make friends. ...
... Among children in higher income households (income of $100,000/year or more), only 12% did not participate in any sport during the past year, whereas among children from lower income households (income of less than $25,000/year) 30% did not participate in sport [11]. Youth sport participation typically requires expenditures of time and money, which pose a relatively larger burden on less affluent families [13,14]. Less affluent families may struggle providing transport to practices and games [13,15] due to less flexible work schedules and having less access to a means of transportation. ...
... Childhood and adolescence are particularly important stages in the lifecourse with regards to well-being (Ben-Arieh, 2008;Handbook of Child Well-Being, 2014). Numerous indices have emerged with the goal of capturing the well-being of children and adolescents in the United States (Buck et al., 2018;Land et al., 2001Land et al., , 2007Moore et al., 2007Moore et al., , 2008O'Hare & Bramstedt, 2003;O'Hare et al., 2013). However, these measures suffer from several issues that prevent more widespread usage. ...

... This relapse is substantial; among women who became abstinent after using cessation support during pregnancy, 43% are smoking again 6 months postpartum [3]. Most pregnant women are 'spontaneous quitters' who do not use cessation support, and among this group, relapse rates reached up to 76% within two years of giving birth [4][5][6][7][8]. ...
