Children With Cerebral Palsy

This report describes the findings and interim results of a follow-up study of 770 children with cerebral palsy who were cared for under the aegis of the New York City Financial Aid Program from 1945 to July 1, 1954. The findings seem to indicate that some redirection of the program to include development, expansion and improvement of some alternate services within the community is advisable. It is likely that this same type of follow-up study would be of equal value for children of other diagnostic groups, and similar studies might be initiated.

Advanced Placement Classes

A follow-up study was made of the students in the mathematics Advanced Placement classes at a large New York City high school from 1956-57 to 1964-65, inclusive. Of the 182 students who responded to the questionnaire 52% were offered placement and 32% were offered credit. Beginning with 1964, all students with a score of at least 3 on the Advanced Placement Examination received an offer of placement and/or credit. The students attended 45 different colleges. Almost 90% of the students indicated that the program was a good experience for them. Their chief criticism of the Advanced Placement course, however, was its lack of emphasis on theory.

Neighbourhood Socioeconomic Status

ObjectiveTo determine whether neighbourhood socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and biomarkers of diet (urinary sodium and potassium excretion).DesignA cross-sectional study.SettingThe data reported were from the 2010 Heart Follow-up Study, a population-based representative survey of 1645 adults.ParticipantsCommunity-dwelling diverse residents of New York City nested within 128 neighbourhoods (zip codes).Primary and secondary outcome measuresBMI (kg/m2) and WC (inches) were measured during in-home visits, and 24-hour urine sample was collected to measure biomarkers of diet: sodium (mg/day) and potassium (mg/day), with high sodium and low potassium indicative of worse diet quality.ResultsAfter adjusting for individual-level characteristics using multilevel linear regressions, low versus high neighbourhood SES tertile was associated with 1.83 kg/m2higher BMI (95% CI 0.41 to 3.98) and 251 mg/day lower potassium excretion (95% CI −409 to 93) among women only, with no associations among men (P values for neighbourhood SES by sex interactions <0.05).ConclusionOur results suggest that women may be particularly vulnerable to the effects of a socioeconomically disadvantaged neighbourhood. Future neighbourhood research should explore sex differences, as these can inform tailored interventions.Trial registration numberNCT01889589; Results.

Research And Policy

Although prisoner reentry has taken center stage in correctional research and policy discussions, there has been little emphasis on reentry among jail populations. This paper examines a jail-based reentry program in New York City that begins while individuals are incarcerated and includes 90 days of postrelease services. This article explores these assumptions through an evaluation of a jail-based reentry program in New York City that begins while individuals are incarcerated and includes 90 days of postrelease services. To determine program impact, the authors compare samples of participants with nonparticipants and program completers with noncompleters. The groups are matched using developmental trajectories derived from group-based trajectory modeling, in addition to propensity score matching. Findings show that participants perform no better than nonparticipants over a 1-year follow-up, but those who stay engaged for at least 90 days of postrelease services experience significantly fewer (and slower) returns to jail. The findings regarding program completion are tempered by several methodological concerns, however. The article concludes with a discussion of how the study may offer insights for program implementation and operation with this target population.

Finding Method

During 1956 and 1957 all children under the care of the child health stations of the Department of Health in New York City, who manifested pica, were examined for symptoms and signs of lead poisoning. A blood specimen was taken and tested for lead content; if the concentration of lead was 0.06 mg/100 ml or higher, the child was referred to a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. Among 194 children with pica, there were 28 cases and 20 probable cases of lead poisoning. The follow-up of children with pica is a good case-finding method for lead poisoning.
