Book Synopsis Applying Quantitative Bias Analysis to Epidemiologic Data by : Timothy L. Lash
Download or read book Applying Quantitative Bias Analysis to Epidemiologic Data written by Timothy L. Lash and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-04-14 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bias analysis quantifies the influence of systematic error on an epidemiology study’s estimate of association. The fundamental methods of bias analysis in epi- miology have been well described for decades, yet are seldom applied in published presentations of epidemiologic research. More recent advances in bias analysis, such as probabilistic bias analysis, appear even more rarely. We suspect that there are both supply-side and demand-side explanations for the scarcity of bias analysis. On the demand side, journal reviewers and editors seldom request that authors address systematic error aside from listing them as limitations of their particular study. This listing is often accompanied by explanations for why the limitations should not pose much concern. On the supply side, methods for bias analysis receive little attention in most epidemiology curriculums, are often scattered throughout textbooks or absent from them altogether, and cannot be implemented easily using standard statistical computing software. Our objective in this text is to reduce these supply-side barriers, with the hope that demand for quantitative bias analysis will follow.

Book Synopsis American Child Bride by : Nicholas L. Syrett
Download or read book American Child Bride written by Nicholas L. Syrett and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2016-09-02 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most in the United States likely associate the concept of the child bride with the mores and practices of the distant past. But Nicholas L. Syrett challenges this assumption in his sweeping and sometimes shocking history of youthful marriage in America. Focusing on young women and girls--the most common underage spouses--Syrett tracks the marital history of American minors from the colonial period to the present, chronicling the debates and moral panics related to these unions. Although the frequency of child marriages has declined since the early twentieth century, Syrett reveals that the practice was historically far more widespread in the United States than is commonly thought. It also continues to this day: current estimates indicate that 9 percent of living American women were married before turning eighteen. By examining the legal and social forces that have worked to curtail early marriage in America--including the efforts of women's rights activists, advocates for children's rights, and social workers--Syrett sheds new light on the American public's perceptions of young people marrying and the ways that individuals and communities challenged the complex legalities and cultural norms brought to the fore when underage citizens, by choice or coercion, became husband and wife.
Book Synopsis Does Child Marriage Matter for Growth? by : Ms.Pritha Mitra
Download or read book Does Child Marriage Matter for Growth? written by Ms.Pritha Mitra and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2020-02-07 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global attention to ending child marriage and its socio-economic consequences is gaining momentum. Ending child marriage is not only critical from a development perspective but it also has important economic implications. This paper is the first to quantify the relationship between child marriage and economic growth. Applying a simultaneous equations model, the analysis shows that eliminating child marriage would significantly improve economic growth—if child marriage were ended today, long-term annual per capita real GDP growth in emerging and developing countries would increase by 1.05 percentage points. The results also provide insights on policy prioritization in developing comprehensive strategies to end child marriage. For example, the strong interdependent relationship between education and child marriage suggests that education policies and the budgets that support them should place greater emphasis on reducing child marriage.
Book Synopsis Socioeconomic Distribution of Cervical Cancer, in Relation to Early Marriage and Pregnancy by : Frank Edward Lundin (Jr.)
Download or read book Socioeconomic Distribution of Cervical Cancer, in Relation to Early Marriage and Pregnancy written by Frank Edward Lundin (Jr.) and published by . This book was released on 1965 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A case-control study based on data from the vaginal cytologic survey of Memphis, Tennessee, which reached all levels of the city, is used to relate the etiology of cervical cancer to socioeconomic status, age at 1st marriage, and age at 1st pregnancy. Because evidence suggests that the epidemiologic distribution of squamous cell carcinoma differs from that of adenocarcinoma, cases are limited to the squamous type (SCC). Because of the different racial incidence of SCC and other types of cervical cancer, all data are presented separately by race. Among never-married white women, 6.5 cases of SCC would be statistically expected; 0 were found. Among never-married black women 3.5 would be expected; 1 was found. For intraepithelial carcinoma (IC) 10.4 cases would be expected for whites and 5 were found; 6.6 expected for nonwhite , 3 found. Among married whites, cases of SCC and IC were roughly the same as expected but age at marriage under age 18, expected cases of SCC were 25.8, observed were 48; expected IC was 34.9, observed was 66. (p=.001 for SCC and p=.0001 for IC). Among nonwhites, expected SCC for women married under 18 was 38.0 observed was 37; expected IC 38.4, observed 36. The expected and observed cases gradually came into agreement until age at 1st marriage reached 25+. Then for whites expected SCC was 25.1 and observed was 14; for nonwhites expected SCC was 12.3 and observed was 7. For IC, expected for whites was 27.7, observed 17 and for nonwhite 6.6 expected and 10 observed. For white women similar figures showed age at 1st pregnancy and socioeconomic area of residence are definitely associated with histologically confirmed cases of invasive and intraepithelial carcinoma of the cervix as well as with uncomfirmed cases with suspicious and positive cytologic findings. Early pregnancy and lower categories. For nonwhite women, although age at 1st marriage is not associated with either form of cancer, early pregnancy is associated with invasive cervical cancer as well as unconfirmed cases with suspicious or positive cytologic findings. Age at 1st pregnancy and marriage were highly correlated. The data are cons istent with the view that age at 1st pregnancy, alone or in conjunction with early marriage, is a determinant of cervical cancer. Number of pregnancies was not related. It is possible an unidentified 3rd factor is responsible.

Book Synopsis Gender, Poverty and Access to Justice by : David Lawson
Download or read book Gender, Poverty and Access to Justice written by David Lawson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Access to justice is a fundamental right guaranteed under a wide body of international, regional and domestic law. It is also an essential component of development policies which seek to adequately respond to the multidimensional deprivations faced by the poor in order to improve socio-economic well-being and advance the progress of the Sustainable Development Goals. Women and children make up most of Africa’s poorest and most marginalized population, and as such are often prevented from enforcing rights or seeking other recourse. This book explores and analyzes the issue of gendered access to justice, poverty and disempowerment across Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and provides policy discussions on the integration of gender in justice programming. Through individual country case studies, the book focuses on the challenges, obstacles and successes of developing and implementing gender focused access to justice policies and programming in the region. This multidisciplinary volume will be of interest to policy makers as well as scholars and researchers focusing on poverty and gender policy across law, economics and global development in Sub-Saharan Africa. Additionally, the volume provides policy discussion applicable in other geographical areas where access to justice is elusive for the poor and marginalized.
Book Synopsis When Your Children Marry by : Deborah M. Merrill
Download or read book When Your Children Marry written by Deborah M. Merrill and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2011-05-05 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marriage is an important transition in the life of any adult who marries. But often when a son or daughter gets married, their relationships with their natal families changes. It is often said that a 'daughter is a daughter all of her life, but a son is a son 'til he takes him a wife.' This book examines how marriage changes relationships between adult children and their parents and how this differs for sons versus daughters. Merrill considers the process by which men 'get pulled into' their wives' families and the ways in which men are sometimes more connected to their wives' families following marriage than to their own families. But what is it about a relationship with a son that changes when he marries? And why do daughters tend to stay closer? Why do mothers experience greater difficulty in negotiating relationships with married sons than with married daughters? Why do daughters tend to stay closer and maintain stronger ties to their natal families than sons do? This book answers these questions and offers advice for mothers on how to maintain strong ties with their children when they marry, negotiate relationships that may be fraught with new challenges, and accept changes when they happen. Sharing firsthand accounts from mothers, sons, and daughters, the author sheds new light on this neglected topic.

Download or read book Primal Loss written by Leila Miller and published by Lcb Publishing. This book was released on 2017-05-20 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seventy now-adult children of divorce give their candid and often heart-wrenching answers to eight questions (arranged in eight chapters, by question), including: What were the main effects of your parents' divorce on your life? What do you say to those who claim that "children are resilient" and "children are happy when their parents are happy"? What would you like to tell your parents then and now? What do you want adults in our culture to know about divorce? What role has your faith played in your healing? Their simple and poignant responses are difficult to read and yet not without hope. Most of the contributors--women and men, young and old, single and married--have never spoken of the pain and consequences of their parents' divorce until now. They have often never been asked, and they believe that no one really wants to know. Despite vastly different circumstances and details, the similarities in their testimonies are striking; as the reader will discover, the death of a child's family impacts the human heart in universal ways.
