“…These findings are closely in line with a recent study that found that race and gender alone did not predict educational attainment among child welfare-involved youth, but the intersection of race and gender (specifically being a Black male) predicted a lower likelihood of education completion (Cage, Corley, & Harris, 2018). Similarly, another study found that dually involved Black males are less likely to graduate high school than dually involved White males (Baetz, 2015).…”

The primary aim of this study was to examine gender and racial differences in the association between system involvement types (i.e., child protective services [CPS] only, juvenile justice system only, and dual involvement) and academic outcomes (i.e., grade failure, chronic absenteeism). This study used records from a linked database of public youth-serving institutional records within a county’s youth court, law enforcement agencies, and CPS. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed. The impact of systems involvement on academic outcomes was most salient among Black males, while none of the system involvement types were associated with chronic absenteeism or grade failure among White males. Findings highlight the need for the development of intervention strategies to address educational needs of youth involved in the CPS and juvenile justice systems, with a heightened attention to Black and male youth, to improve their attendance and academic performance.

“… The distribution of data must be approximately normal to test the t -test hypothesis. Categorization Investigator-constructed intersectional variables ( Bostwick et al, 2019 ; Cage et al, 2018 ; Chua et al, 2016 ; DuPont-Reyes et al, 2019 ; Hsieh & Ruther, 2016 ; Peck et al, 2014 ; Warner & Brown, 2011 ) This approach involves the creation of a single “intersectional” variable containing all possible combinations of the social axes of interest as unique levels of the variable. 429-62,302 2–3 Yes, when combined with other analytic approaches (e.g., regression analysis) that allow for the control of confounders This method serves as a preliminary step to setting up the data for an intersectional analysis (e.g., including the constructed intersectional variable in a regression model).…”

“…Table 3 summarizes results by study design and outcome. Across the 29 studies, 11 were cross-sectional [ 30 , 31 , 35 , 40 , 42 , 46 , 49 , 52 – 55 ], 16 were cohort [ 22 , 28 , 29 , 32 , 33 , 36 – 38 , 41 , 43 – 45 , 47 , 48 , 50 , 51 ], and 2 were experimental [ 34 , 39 ].

Introduction With the recent emergence of the Healthy People 2030 goals there is a need to understand the role of SDOH on health inequalities from an upstream perspective. This review summarizes the recent body of evidence on the impact of SDOH across adolescence and youth health outcomes by race/ethnicity using the Health People 2030 Framework. Methods A systematic, reproducible search was performed using PubMed, Academic Search Premier, PsychInfo, and ERIC. A total of 2078 articles were screened for inclusion. A total of 263 articles met inclusion criteria, resulting in 29 articles included for final synthesis. Results Across the 29 articles, 11 were cross-sectional, 16 were cohort, and 2 were experimental. Across SDOH categories (economic stability, education access and quality, health care access and quality, neighborhood and built environment, and social and community context), 1 study examined self-efficacy, 6 educational attainment, 10 behavior, 5 smoking, 11 alcohol use, 10 substance use, and 1 quality of life. The majority of outcomes represented in this search included health behaviors such as health risk behavior, smoking, alcohol use, and substance use. Across the 29 articles identified, significant differences existed across outcomes by race/ethnicity across SDOH factors, however magnitude of differences varied by SDOH category. Discussion SDOH differentially affect adolescents and youth across race/ethnicity. The lived adverse experiences, along with structural racism, increase the likelihood of adolescents and youth engaging in risky health behaviors and negatively influencing health outcomes during adolescence and youth. Research, public health initiatives, and policies integrating SDOH into interventions at early stage of life are needed to effectively reduce social and health inequalities at a population level.
