Abstract:

8564 Background: Although melanoma is rare in the pediatric population, a sizable increase in the incidence of this disease has been previously reported in the pediatric population (J Clin Oncol 23:4735, 2005). In this study, we describe the incidence of pediatric melanoma in Texas in an effort to determine whether there has been a similar increase in Texas. Methods: Between 1995 and 2003, we identified 197 cases of melanoma (ICD codes 8720–8780) in children < 20 years of age. Baseline characteristics were compared by chi-square analysis and age-adjusted incidence rates were calculated base

Abstract:

Little is known about services provided to children and youth (C/Y) discharged from an acute care facility. Recent research has provided a foundation for efforts to supplement or complement that early work. This research investigates post-acute care (PAC) in Texas. It focuses on what differentiates those discharges that receive PAC from those that do not and on what differentiates those C/Y who receive PAC in a health care facility from those who receive home health services. The results show that only 6.4% of discharges involving C/Y receive PAC and that many factors affected the 2 issues und

AbstractObjective:Widowed fathers and their children are at heightened risk for poor coping and maladaptive psychosocial outcomes. This exploratory study is the first to explicitly examine the psychological characteristics of this population of fathers.Method:Some 259 fathers (mean age = 46.81; 90% Caucasian) with dependent-age children and whose wives had died from cancer within the previous five years completed a web-based survey that consisted of demographic questions, the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES–D), the Texas Inventory of Grief–Revised (TRIG–R), the Psycholog

Background:Physical education (PE) classes provide opportunities for children to be active. This study examined the associations between specific environmental characteristics (teacher characteristics; class size, duration and location; and lesson context) and elementary school-aged children’s moderate-to-vigorous activity (MVPA) during PE.Methods:Environmental characteristics and student activity levels were measured in 211 third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade PE classes in 74 Texas public schools using SOFIT direct observation.Results:Students engaged in less than half their PE class time in MVP

Abstract:

Breakfast consumption is associated with lower obesity prevalence and cardiometabolic risk and higher dietary quality (DQ) in children. Low-income, Hispanic populations are disproportionately affected by obesity and cardiometabolic risks. This study examined the relationship between breakfast consumption groups (BCG) on anthropometric, metabolic, and dietary parameters in predominately low-income, Hispanic children from 16 Texas schools. Cross-sectional data were from TX Sprouts, a school-based gardening, nutrition, and cooking randomized controlled trial. Anthropometric measurements included

Abstract:

Children develop their personalities and attitudes at an early age. With children spending 25% of each day in the classroom, schools are a major influence on self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, and environmental attitudes. Studies in human issues in horticulture have focused on how gardens affect self-esteem in nontraditional populations but have yet to research children in mainstream school districts. Our main goal was to initiate and integrate an environmental education garden program into the curriculum of several schools in the midwest and Texas. Our objectives included evaluating wh

Abstract:

Previous behavioral genetic research in children has found that conduct problems in the presence of high CU traits are more heritable than conduct problems in the presence of low CU traits—a gene × trait interaction. The current study replicates and extends this finding using a sample of adolescent twins from the Texas Twin Project, who were assessed for rule-breaking and aggression. We find evidence that genetic influences on CU traits contribute to genetic liability for both rule-breaking and aggressive behavior. CU traits moderate genetic influences on aggressive behavior, such that the her

Abstract:

Most existing emergency evacuation studies assume evacuees to evacuate from their residence locations. However, depending on the time of day, people's movements are constrained not only by their workplaces, but also the necessity of picking up family members. Family member interactions, a typical activity during an evacuation, can greatly affect the evacuation process. Activity-based modeling has been applied to estimate daily traffic demand widely. However, only limited research has been reported to incorporate the activity component in examining evacuation processes, particularly for mass ev

Our analysis begins with an examination of the state of Georgia's rationale for the decision regarding social promotion that was based on the perceived views that teachers have on the issue. Research suggests, however, that teachers hold contradictory opinions concerning the use of standardized tests for high stakes decisions, such as promotion, and are not aware of the consequences most children suffer when they fail a grade. Following a discussion that challenges the claims of success in Chicago, Baltimore, and Texas, we explore the viability of choosing litigation as a strategy to stop the

Abstract Introduction: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) comprises about 18% of childhood leukemias, with an incidence of 7.7 cases per million in the United States. The evidence for variation in disease distribution by race and ethnicity is limited, although there is a slight increased risk for the promyelocytic subtype in Hispanics (Puumala et al, Pediatr Blood Cancer, 2014). In earlier treatment eras (pre-2002), the Children's Cancer Group reported Hispanics with AML to have inferior overall survival (OS) when compared with non-Hispanics (Lange et al, Blood, 2008; Aplenc et al, Blood, 2006), but
