    Abstract Objective: To examine inequalities in sleep quality during the COVID-19 pandemic by gender, sexual orientation, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic position (SEP), and test associations between discrimination and sleep quality in a national longitudinal cohort of emerging adult college students.
    Participants: Participants were enrolled in college full-time and were aged 18-22 at baseline.
    Methods: Participants completed online surveys in spring 2020 (
    Results: Most students reported poor sleep quality (78% in 2020; 82% in 2021) and those from marginalized groups generally experienced worse sleep quality. Discrimination was associated with poorer concurrent sleep quality at both time points.
    Conclusions: Sleep inequalities among college students continued to manifest during the pandemic, even when students were not necessarily on campus. Colleges should take a multi-pronged approach to promote sleep quality through individual, community, and institutional interventions.

    Abstract An emerging area of research considers links between characteristics of the school setting and health. The existing small evidence base assessing the association between class size and health is inconclusive. This quasi-experimental study uses an instrumental variables approach based on North Carolina's elementary class size reduction policy to assess the relationship between class size and student screen time. Specifically, data are from public school students in North Carolina, USA, who were in 3rd grade any time between fall 2005 and spring 2011. There was no association between class size and screen time (measured as recreational television and/or electronic device use), after accounting for grade size and school size, year fixed effects, and clustering at the school and district level. These findings suggest that, in statewide policy implementation settings, there may not be any immediate spillover benefits of class size reduction policies on student screen time.

    Abstract Maternal mortality remains a large concern in the United States (US), although other Western countries are making progress. In this scoping review, we identify four problems that may contribute to the maternal mortality burden in the US: inadequately investing in women's health, poor quality of care, increasing disparities, and poor data collection and monitoring of maternal health issues. Because maternal mortality is decreasing in California, we identify strategies implemented there that could improve maternal health outcomes nationwide: funding programs to address social determinants of maternal health; supporting health care strategies to improve maternal health (including national standards and goals for health care systems); and investing in maternal health monitoring and surveillance (including use of technology). We encourage researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to work together to develop evidence-based policies and practices to improve maternal health and reduce maternal. We conclude with recommendations for the United States and globally.

    Abstract Youth experiencing systemic oppression(s) face heightened challenges to wellbeing. Critical consciousness, comprised of reflection, motivation, and action against oppression, may protect wellbeing. Wellbeing here refers to mental, socioemotional, and physical health. The aim of this systematic review was to synthesize research on the relationship between critical consciousness and wellbeing among adolescents and young adults (ages 12-29). Five databases (PsycInfo, PsychArticles, ERIC, Sociological Abstracts, and PubMed) were searched systematically using keyword searches and inclusion/exclusion criteria; 29 eligible studies were included. Results demonstrated that the critical consciousness and wellbeing relationship varied by critical consciousness dimension and age. The studies of adolescents most often focused on racial/ethnic marginalization and found critical motivation most strongly associated with better wellbeing. The studies of young adults focused on young adult college students and identified mixed results specifically between activism and mental health. Study methods across age spans were primarily quantitative and cross-sectional. Research on critical consciousness and wellbeing can benefit from studies that consider multiple critical consciousness dimensions, use longitudinal approaches, and include youth experiencing multiple and intersecting systems of privilege and marginalization.

    Abstract Pathogenic heterozygous loss of function variants in CTNNB1 are associated with CTNNB1 neurodevelopmental disorder. We report the clinical phenotype of individuals with CTNNB1 neurodevelopmental disorder using both caregiver-reported data (medical history, adaptive function, quality of life, and behavior issues) and in-person clinical assessments (neurological, motor, and cognitive function) in 32 individuals with likely pathogenic or pathogenic CTNNB1 variants. Most individuals had truncal hypotonia, muscle weakness, hypertonia, dystonia, microcephaly, and many had a history of tethered cord. Visual problems included strabismus, hyperopia, and familial exudative vitreoretinopathy. Half of individuals walked without an assistive device. The mean Gross Motor Functional Measure-66 score was 56.6 (SD = 14.8). Average time to complete Nine-Hole Peg Test was slower than norms. Mean general conceptual ability composite scores from Differential Ability Scales Second Edition were very low (M = 58.3, SD = 11.3). Fifty-five percent of individuals had low adaptive functioning based on the Vineland Adaptive Behavioral Scales. Based upon the Child Behavior Checklist total problems score, the majority (65%) of individuals had behavioral challenges. The mean overall Quality of Life Inventory-Disability score was 81.7 (SD = 11.9). These data provide a detailed characterization of clinical features in individuals with CTNNB1 neurodevelopmental disorder.

    Abstract Sociopolitical stress arises in reaction to awareness of, exposure to, and/or involvement in political events. Among a longitudinal cohort of 628 college students from 10 universities across the U.S., we explored trajectories of sociopolitical stress during the 2020 United States presidential election season and examined relationships to psychological well-being. Growth mixture modeling classified our sample into four subgroups each with distinct trajectories of sociopolitical stress:

    Abstract Introduction: Emotional and behavioral problems are growing among children ages birth to five, and racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities exist. Comprehensive, culturally responsive, family-driven systems of care, such as the one operated by California's diverse, urban Alameda County, offer one potential intervention.
    Methods: We used client-level service data (
    Results: Comprehensive mental health services and supports were associated with improved emotional and behavioral functioning outcomes for children over time, even after controlling for other risk factors.
    Discussion: Systems of care appear to support the multidimensional functioning of children and their families.
