We examined socioeconomic, academic, and health-related factors associated with respondent reports that childcare interfered with academics. 176 undergraduate student parents. We administered a cross-sectional survey to a representative sample of students at a public university in New York City. Using a sub-set of those who reported being parents/guardians (n = 176), we conducted bivariate analyses to assess factors associated with childcare problems interfering with school. About 30% of the sample reported that childcare interfered with school somewhat/moderately/a lot in the last year. Compared to those with no/little perceived interference, they were significantly more likely to need mental health treatment (30% vs. 13%;  < 0.01), worry that they would run out of food sometimes/often (32% vs. 16%;  < 0.01), and experience housing problems (26% vs. 9%;  < 0.01). Offering mental healthcare and services addressing food and housing insecurity can help college students to navigate challenges inherent to being a student parent. Offering mental healthcare and services addressing food and housing insecurity can help college students to navigate challenges inherent to being a student parent. Building on existing literature on ethnic/racial identity in emerging adulthood, we compared between-group differences for Multiracial and Monoracial participants and relevant within-group relationships for Multiracial participants. Participants were college students (n = 888; 67% women; Mage = 21.7; SD = 5.58) categorized into three groups Monoracial White (61%), Multiracial (17%), and Monoracial Minoritized (22%). Measures included ethnic racial identity (ERI) exploration and commitment, discrimination, and features of Multiracial identity. The survey was sent through campus email and completed electronically. Monoracial Minoritized participants reported higher discrimination and ERI commitment and exploration than Multiracial and Monoracial White participants. Multiracial participants reported higher ERI exploration and discrimination than Monoracial White participants. Multiracial participants' ERI exploration and racial conflict explained ERI commitment in regression models. Multiracial indhan Monoracial White participants. Multiracial participants' ERI exploration and racial conflict explained ERI commitment in regression models. Conclusions Multiracial individuals should be researched and intervened with differentially from other racial groups, with variables specific to their unique experiences.The current study explores the motivations underlying tobacco use among varsity athletes. A cross-sectional exploratory mixed method approach was used. Both tobacco users (TU) and non-tobacco users (NTU) completed an online survey of closed and open-ended questions. These questions focused on tobacco use, motivations for tobacco use, teammate and coaches' perceptions of athlete tobacco use, and self-perceived effects of tobacco use on health and athletic performance. Thirty-eight completed surveys were included of which 12 were TU and 26 were NTU. The majority of TU indicated that they used products during the off-season. Motivations for using tobacco products included social influences, stress-relief, and increasing energy. TU mostly indicated that there are negative effects on their health but not on their athletic performance, whereas NTU reported potential detrimental effects on their teammate's performance. Overall, varsity athletes who use tobacco products are aware of the health effects and negative opinions of their teammates.As students gradually return to P-12 classrooms in the United States during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, they will have faced and been inundated with images of death at unprecedented levels. Teachers, administrators, and other school personnel will be challenged with assisting students in processing these encounters with death. While death education is no longer a formal component of the American curriculum, death education took on a prominent role in the curriculum during its "Period of Popularity" from 1968-1977. Lessons from this period can help guide educators in bringing back needed components of death education to P-12 classrooms today.Objective First, to examine general health care attitudes and health care utilization of a University Health Service (UHS) at a large university. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/nutlin-3a.html Second, to identify differences between LGBT and non-LBGT students. Participants 2,943 university students were surveyed in Spring 2013; 7.8% LGBT, 67% undergraduate and 65% female. Methods A cross-sectional mixed-methods online survey to assess health care utilization and attitudes. Results A majority had utilized UHS and held positive attitudes in general. LGBT students were more likely to use UHS for ongoing care, mental health, and preventive care; report concerns about utilization (e.g. confidentiality, sensitivity, and discrimination issues); report provider discomfort discussing sexuality; and hold positive attitudes toward the health care needs of LGBT students. Conclusions University health centers have an important role in student health. Barriers to care should be removed, including perceived discrimination. Student health center staff should be trained on LGBT health issues. To examine the relationships between loneliness and psychosocial supports, emerging adult service utilization, and barriers to utilization. 18 to 29-year-old students enrolled in a large Midwestern University (  = 292). Online surveys were administered to all participants involving information on loneliness, social supports, basic need satisfactions, community/university service utilization, and barriers to service use. Logistic and linear regressions, analysis of variance were conducted. Emerging adults were found to have a greater likelihood of service utilization when higher in social support from friends and less likely to utilize services when high in relatedness and competence need satisfaction, specifically in regard to community services. Group differences in greater barriers to service utilization were found among the highest levels of loneliness and the lowest levels of need satisfaction. Overall, this study indicates psychosocial supports and loneliness are related to service utilization in a nuanced manner.
