BackgroundThis study aims to identify risk factors for level of offending among childhood offenders from different socio-economic status (SES) neighborhoods and ethnic origins.MethodThree groups of childhood first time police arrestees were studied using standardized instruments for individual and parental characteristics: native Dutch offenders from moderate to high SES neighborhoods, native Dutch offenders from low SES neighborhoods, and offenders of non-Western origin from low SES neighborhoods.ResultsAll subgroups showed high rates of externalizing disorders (27.2% to 41.8%) and familial difficulties (25.7% to 50.5%). Few differences between neighborhoods were found in the prevalence and impact of risk factors. However, the impact of some family risk factors on offending seemed stronger in the low SES groups. Regarding ethnical differences, family risk factors were more prevalent among non-Western childhood offenders. However, the association of these factors with level of offending seemed lower in the non-Western low SES group, while the association of some individual risk factors were stronger in the non-Western low SES group. Turning to the independent correlation of risk factors within each of the groups, in the Dutch moderate to high SES group, 23.1% of the variance in level of offending was explained by ADHD and behavioral problems; in the Dutch low SES group, 29.0% of the variance was explained by behavioral problems and proactive aggression; and in the non-Western low SES group, 41.2% of the variance was explained by substance use, sensation seeking, behavioral peer problems, and parental mental health problems.ConclusionsThereby, the study indicates few neighborhood differences in the impact of individual and parental risk factors on offending, while individual and parental risk factors may differ between ethnic groups.

“…3Y5 In clinical ophthalmic practice, the diagnosis and management of dry eye are complicated by considerable variability in the symptoms and signs of the disease, as well as the limited correlation between patient symptomatology and its clinical manifestations. Although patient symptoms ranked highly in all but one of these surveys, 9 preferences for clinical diagnostic techniques were inconsistent, varying significantly depending on the profession (i.e., optometrist vs. ophthalmologist) and demographics (i.e., nationality of the respondents). 7Y11 Overall, these surveys described wide variations in diagnostic protocols among eye care practitioners.…”

This study indicates that although Australian optometrists use subjective and objective diagnostic tests and stratify treatment based on dry eye severity, there is a lack of uniformity regarding diagnostic testing, infrequent use of standardized grading scales, and significant variability in clinical care. These findings highlight the potential to improve the translation of dry eye research evidence and evidence-based guidelines into Australian optometric practice.

“…Indeed, although previous surveys of the clinical practices of both Spanish and Australian optometrists revealed TBUT to be one of the most commonly employed tests for tear film evaluation and dry eye diagnosis, the same surveys disclosed a lack of agreement between the published recommendations and actual clinical practice [16,17]. These studies, however, did not investigate in detail how optometrists conducted each particular test.…”
