Archival Research01:40

Archival Research

Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...
Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Impact of Social Context on Individuals01:21

Impact of Social Context on Individuals

Social psychology examines how the real or imagined presence of others influences individuals' thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. A key concept in this field is the role of social context in shaping behavior. The same individual may act differently depending on the social setting, due to the varying expectations and norms associated with each environment. This context-dependent behavior illustrates the influence of social roles, which prescribe appropriate conduct in specific situations.Social...

Maintaining nurses' educational and administrative records in healthcare settings, including hospitals and nursing schools, is paramount. Here's a breakdown of the types of academic records mentioned:
Naturalistic Observations02:30

Naturalistic Observations

If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...
Statistical Methods for Analyzing Epidemiological Data01:25

Statistical Methods for Analyzing Epidemiological Data

Epidemiological data primarily involves information on specific populations' occurrence, distribution, and determinants of health and diseases. This data is crucial for understanding disease patterns and impacts, aiding public health decision-making and disease prevention strategies. The analysis of epidemiological data employs various statistical methods to interpret health-related data effectively. Here are some commonly used methods:

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Health Services Research
  • Social Determinants of Health
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Housing instability is a critical social determinant of child health.
  • Accurate identification of housing instability in pediatric populations is challenging.
  • Administrative databases offer a potential avenue for identifying children facing housing instability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if administrative databases can identify children with housing instability in pediatric hospitals.
  • To analyze trends in the identification of housing instability over time.
  • To explore demographic and regional variations in identification rates.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Pediatric Health Information System database.
  • Examined International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) and International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) Z codes for housing instability identification.
  • Analyzed incidence of housing instability as a primary or nonprimary diagnosis over a 20-year period.

Main Results:

  • Over 22,000 encounters with housing instability were identified across 20 years.
  • The proportion of identified housing instability encounters significantly increased over time (P < .001).
  • Disproportionate representation was observed among Non-Hispanic Black, Hispanic, and government-insured children; significant regional variations in identification were noted (P < .001).

Conclusions:

  • Administrative databases show promise for identifying pediatric patients with housing instability.
  • While Z-code utilization for housing instability identification has increased, significant regional disparities persist.
  • Continued analysis of administrative data is crucial for informing future research and advocacy efforts concerning child housing instability.
