“…For example, exposure to poverty during young adulthood has a negative impact on an individual's self‐rated health and daily activity limitations measured in mid‐to‐late life (Johnson et al, 2012). Similarly, perceived discrimination during adolescence undermines health outcomes in middle adulthood (Yang, Chen, Choi, & Kurtulus, 2019). Other early life conditions of interest include low birthweight, nutrition deficit, and stressful family conditions (Blackwell, Hayward, & Crimmins, 2001; Johnson & Schoeni, 2011).…”

Though prior research has attempted to understand the impact of rural residence in early life on later mortality, the role of social integration and social support in explaining the residential mortality gap remains unclear. We first use the inverse probability treatment weighting method to address the potential selection bias in the data and then apply the complementary log–log modelling to a unique person‐wave data drawn from the Americans' Changing Lives study. The results indicate that (a) respondents living in small‐towns (i.e., rural areas) after childhood have a lower risk of death than those living in either suburban areas or central cities, (b) including social integration and social support in the analysis further widens the gaps between small‐town respondents and central city participants, and (c) social integration and social support have opposite effects on mortality. Social integration and social support are important in shaping health, but they cannot explain the rural mortality advantage.

“…Convergent validity was studied using bivariate correlation analysis (Spearman's r correlation coefficient) between its global score and five theoretically related variables: age, school years, previous-year final classifications for Portuguese and mathematics, and the average final classification of Portuguese and mathematics. Construct validity was studied through exploratory factorial analysis (EFA) with direct oblimin rotation, following the same procedure as used in previous studies of the NVS (e.g., [24,44]). The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test and Bartlett's test of sphericity were performed to determine assumptions of EFA and sampling adequacy for principal component analysis.…”

“…Adolescence is a life transition period characterized by numerous developmental changes (physical, cognitive, and emotional) (e.g., [18][19][20][21]), which are inherently linked to (health) behavioral change [20,22] and habit formation, as well as to an increasing level of individuals' autonomy in many spheres of their lives, including health decision making. At this stage, several levels of influence-individual traits, peer and family influences, school and neighborhood environments-collectively determine individual development and the adoption of health behaviors [12], namely in relation to physical activity, healthy eating, substance abuse, and sexual risk-taking behaviors, these being major determinants of later life health outcomes and inequities [23][24][25]. Under this scenario, effective health literacy programs are expected to be implemented within the environments in which adolescents are embedded [12].…”

Self-management of health requires skills to obtain, process, understand, and use health-related information. Assessment of adolescents’ functional health literacy requires valid, reliable, and low-burden tools. The main objective of this study was to adapt and study the psychometric properties of the Newest Vital Sign for the Portuguese adolescents’ population (NVS-PTeen). Classic psychometric indicators of reliability and validity were combined with item response theory (IRT) analyses in a cross-sectional survey, complemented with a 3-month test-retest assessment. The NVS-PTeen was self-administered to students enrolled in grades 8 to 12 (12 to 17 years old) in a school setting. Overall, 386 students (191 girls) from 16 classes of the same school participated in the study (mean age = 14.5; SD = 1.5). Internal reliability of the NVS-PTeen was α = 0.60. The NVS-PTeen total score was positively and significantly correlated with Portuguese (r = 0.28) and mathematics scores (r = 0.31), school years (r = 0.31), and age (r = 0.19). Similar to the original scale (for the U.S.), the NVS-PTeen is composed of two dimensions, reading-related literacy and numeracy. Temporal reliability is adequate, though with a learning effect. IRT analyses revealed differences in difficulty and discriminative capacity among items, all with adequate outfit and infit values. Results showed that the NVS-PTeen is valid and reliable, sensible to inter-individual educational differences, and adequate for regular screening of functional health literacy in adolescents.

“…Definisi dari diskriminasi itu sendiri ialah perlakuan secara berbeda atau tidak sama oleh kelompok atau lingkungannya dan merupakan pengalaman yang dapat membuat seseorang mengalami perceived discrimination (Levine & Hogg, 2010;Yang, Chen, Choi, & Kurtulus, 2018). Menurut Sutin, Stephan, Carretta, dan Terracciano (2015), perceived discrimination adalah anggapan diperlakukan tidak adil dikarenakan karakteristik pribadi.…”

Diskriminasi sering terjadi pada etnis minoritas di Indonesia, salah satunya etnis Tionghoa. Perlakuan ini dapat menyebabkan seseorang mengalami perceived discrimination, atau anggapan dan perasaan bahwa yang bersangkutan diperlakukan buruk dan tidak sama. Sejumlah penelitian terdahulu menunjukkan perceived discrimination dapat menurunkan kualitas hidup seseorang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat peran perceived discrimination terhadap kualitas hidup pada etnis Tionghoa. Alat ukur yang digunakan adalah PEDQ dan WHOQOL_BREF. Partisipan penelitian berjumlah 109 etnis Tionghoa yang bertempat tinggal di Jabodetabek dengan rentang usia 20-65 tahun, yang diambil menggunakan teknik accidental sampling. Berdasarkan hasil uji regresi, penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa perceived discrimination memiliki peran negatif terhadap kualitas hidup pada etnis Tionghoa. Sementara itu perceived discrimination memiliki peran terhadap setiap dimensi kualitas hidup masing-masing sebesar 6,2%, 3,8%, 3,8%, dan 4,3% terhadap kualitas hidup. Diperlukan adanya intervensi kepada etnis Tionghoa yang mengalami perceived discrimination agar dapat menghilangkan pikiran-pikiran negatif yang dapat mengganggu kualitas hidup dengan cara terapi kognitif, dan juga kebijakan untuk mengurangi diskriminasi itu sendiri.
