“…Consistent with previous research (e.g. Duncan et al, 2023a , b ), a SES composite score was derived from four items: (i) whether they sometimes go to bed hungry because there is not enough money to buy food (yes = 0, no = 1); (ii) perceived familial financial comfort relative to students in their class (more comfortable = 2, as comfortable = 1, less comfortable = 0); (iii) whether they have their own bedroom (yes = 1, no = 0); and (iv) whether they were worried about their family paying bills and expenses due to COVID-19 (true/mostly true = 0, neutral or don’t know/false/mostly false = 1). Individuals scoring a 0 were reclassified as a 1 due to low frequency ( n = 51), resulting in a 5 to 1 scale where 5 represents higher SES and 1 represents lower SES.…”

“…Psychometric analysis has not been conducted for the cumulative SES score. The score has been used in previous research (Duncan et al, 2023a , b ), and the individual items comprising the SES score were derived and/or adapted from measures considered developmentally appropriate and demonstrating validity and reliability in adolescent populations (e.g. Boyce et al, 2006 ; Kleinman et al, 2007 ; Koyanagi et al, 2019 ; Ladouceur, 2020 ; Smith et al, 2022 ), for which traditional SES indicators (e.g.…”

Objective To provide contemporary evidence of how dietary intake and eating behaviours vary by social positions among adolescents. Methods We used survey data collected during the 2020–2021 school year from 52,138 students attending 133 secondary schools in Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec, Canada. Multiple regression models tested whether self-reported indicators of dietary intake and eating behaviours differed by gender, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status (SES). Results Females were more likely than males to skip breakfast, restrict eating, and consume fruit, vegetables, and fast food on more days. Gender-diverse/“prefer not to say” students were more likely to restrict eating than males and the least likely to consume breakfast and drink water daily, and fruits and vegetables regularly. Black and Latin American students were more likely to restrict eating and consume purchased snacks and fast food, and less likely to drink water daily than white and Asian adolescents. Daily breakfast consumption was most likely among Latin American students. Black students were the least likely to report eating breakfast daily and fruits and vegetables regularly. Lower SES was associated with lower odds of eating breakfast and drinking water daily and regular fruit and vegetable consumption, and higher odds of restrictive eating and purchased snack consumption. Fast food consumption had a u-shaped association with SES. Conclusion Results emphasize gender, racial/ethnic, and socioeconomic inequities in the diets and eating behaviours of adolescents. There is a critical need to address the structural factors contributing to inequities and prevent the consequences of dietary disparities.

Background: Children with cerebral palsy are considered to be a population at risk for the occurrence of sleep difficulties. However, existing literature has been limited by subjective measures of sleep and has failed to examine contributing factors. Methods: Forty-five youth with cerebral palsy participated. Both youth and caregivers completed sleep-related questionnaires, while youth completed daily actigraphy for objective sleep assessments. Results: Sleep patterns, including sleep duration, wake after sleep onset, and sleep efficiency, are generally aligned with existing sleep recommendations. However, the number of awakenings was significantly higher in youth with cerebral palsy compared to these recommendations. Most youth experienced poor sleep quality, and approximately a quarter experienced insomnia. Being a boy and having a preexisting mental health diagnosis was associated with poor sleep quality and greater insomnia symptoms. Conclusions: Most youth with cerebral palsy experience a range of sleep difficulties. This study provides new information on sleep patterns in youth with cerebral palsy, highlighting the importance of addressing sleep issues in this population to improve their well-being and ultimately limit the negative impacts on overall health and quality of life.
