“…This process was used so that older Latinos could ask questions and get assistance with reading and answering the questions if they had limitations in vision, literacy, or hand strength/flexibility that were required to fill in the forms (Quinn, 2010). Selected parts of a larger questionnaire were used for this study, including background questions and published measures of well-being (Ryff, 1989), depression (Radloff, 1977), economic strain (Hilton & Devall, 1997), spirituality (Hodge, 2003), and religiosity (Allport & Ross, 1967). We analyzed the data using descriptive statistics and hierarchical multiple regression.…”

“…Economic strain. We evaluated financial difficulties that the participants were having using a one-item global measure of economic strain (Hilton & Devall, 1997). The item asked participants how many days in the past week they were "worried that my income will not be enough to cover my future needs.…”

“…Economic strain was a strong predictor of depression in this study, and it has been an important predictor in numerous other studies assessing different research topics and outcomes. The original 13-item Family Economic Strain Scale (Hilton & Devall, 1997), from which the global economic strain item originated, was developed for use with young families. Many of the questions refer to the care of children, which make the measure inappropriate for older adults.…”

Using face-to-face interviews and a self-report questionnaire, the authors investigated the contributions of spirituality and religiosity to the well-being and levels of depression of 60 Latino adults ages 50 to 84 after controlling for age, health, education, and economic strain. Religiosity and spirituality predicted well-being; however, increases in well-being were associated with lower levels of externalizing religiosity and higher levels of spirituality. Economic strain overshadowed all other variables in predicting depression. Thus, 2 factors predicted the psychological health of Latino elders: Economic strain predicted depression, and spiritual health predicted wellbeing. Several suggestions for implementing the findings are presented.

This was a cross sectional study of caregivers of preschool children (n = 432). Caregivers were interviewed using validated scales. Structural equation modeling was used to examine associations with the outcomes. Adjusting for study region, demographics and caregiver's body mass index, we found significant associations between PHCB and higher mealtime ritualizations (β: 0.21, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.11; 0.32, more parental modeling (β: 0.39, 95% CI: 0.27; 0.49) and less parental restrictive behavior (β: -0.19, 95% CI: -0.29; -0.10). More parental covert control (β: 0.44, 95% CI: 0.35; 0.54), more parental overt control (β: 0.14, 95% CI: 0.03; 0.25) and less parental permissive behavior (β: -0.25, 95% CI: -0.34; -0.09) were significantly associated with LUCB. Findings suggest the synergistic effects of mealtime ritualizations and covert control at the environmental-level and parental modeling, overt control, restrictive and permissive behavior at the parent-level on the outcomes. Most factors are modifiable and support multidisciplinary interventions that promote healthy child weight-related behaviors.

“…Pearlin, Lieberman, Menaghan, and Mullan (1981), in a study of coping, found that families deferred health care. Similarly, Hilton and Devall (1997), in a study of dual and single parents, found that single parents in economic hardship deferred health care and were worried about sacrificing family holidays and other family/child-focused activities. Even making a change as small as decreasing daily food expenses has proven to be relatively inelastic: Food expenses in an economic study were found to be relatively unresponsive to fluctuating annual income (Hall & Mishkin, 1982).…”

In a follow-up study of family members who participated in a previous study of high work demands, 130 participants from 71 families responded to questions about recent changes in work and financial well-being, as well as daily family adaptations associated with the recession. The general portrait of the families who belonged to an emergent professional class was of relative stability in their work situations. Nevertheless, a substantial percentage perceived financial decline, an increase in the pace of their work, and increasingly rushed feelings at home. Respondents reported financial adjustments in their daily lives. Adjustments in expenses associated with family dining out and with leisure were especially noteworthy when participants reported the perception of financial decline. Results are discussed in light of how the experience of the current recession among families in the professional class differs from experiences of families during previous recessions.
