“…Children are unlikely to recall very early life experiences with violence while parents may be more accurate reporters for the early preschool years. While the concordance between parent-child reporting of violence exposure has been shown to be moderate, with parents consistently underreporting (35), the discordance increases as children get older and are no longer under direct parental supervision, particularly in the preadolescent years (i.e., 12 and older) (45). Thus, discordance in reporting for earlier events as in this analysis is less of a concern.…”

“…The final violence score is the average of the two rasch scores. This is a desirable approach here as children are unlikely to be able to recall events occurring during very early childhood at the same time that parents may be more likely to underreport events that occur when children are older and violence occurs outside of the supervision of parents (45,46). As violence was assessed within one year of lung function testing, some subjects reported experiences that may have occurred after lung function was measured.…”

“…Few studies have directly examined the influence of such contextual factors on asthma. Two recent studies have shown significant associations between greater neighborhood income inequality and higher childhood asthma hospitalization rates (60,141). In New Zealand, Salmond and colleagues (119) used small-area analysis to find a linear increase in a 12-month period prevalence of asthma with increasing area deprivation.…”

▪ Abstract The prevalence of asthma in the United States is higher than in many other countries in the world. Asthma, the most common chronic disease of childhood in the United States, disproportionately burdens many socioeconomically disadvantaged urban communities. In this review we discuss hypotheses for between-country disparities in asthma prevalence, including differences in “hygiene” (e.g., family size, use of day care, early-life respiratory infection exposures, endotoxin and other farm-related exposures, microbial colonization of the infant bowel, exposure to parasites, and exposure to large domestic animal sources of allergen), diet, traffic pollution, and cigarette smoking. We present data on socioeconomic and ethnic disparities in asthma prevalence and morbidity in the United States and discuss environmental factors contributing to asthma disparities (e.g., housing conditions, indoor environmental exposures including allergens, traffic air pollution, disparities in treatment and access to care, and cigarette smoking). We discuss environmental influences on somatic growth (low birth weight, prematurity, and obesity) and their relevance to asthma disparities. The relevance of the hygiene hypothesis to the U.S. urban situation is reviewed. Finally, we discuss community-level factors contributing to asthma disparities.

“…For instance, in African American and Latino cultures, the values of respect and unquestioning obedience to authority figures within a family context are often reflected in more stoic relationships between parents and their children (e.g., Marin and Marin 1991). One hypothesis is that a lack of communication between parents and their children regarding emotional experiences in ethnic minority cultures lowers their level of correspondence in self-report measures (Jaccard et al 1998;Howard et al 1999). Taken together the findings on age and gender have been mixed, there is scant data on the role of ethnicity in reporter agreement, and no studies have examined parent child agreement in anxiety sensitivity.…”

Anxiety Sensitivity in Childhood and Adolescence: Parent Reports and Factors that Influence Associations with Child Reports

Research suggests that anxiety sensitivity is an important cognitive developmental precursor of anxiety disorders. Identifying the developmental origins of anxiety sensitivity may be facilitated by multiple perspective assessment (parents, children) coupled with an understanding of agreement in reporting. In general, disagreement between parent and youth ratings of the child's emotions is common but is not well understood. Variables such as age and gender have been suggested as potential factors that influence agreement; however, this literature often produces inconsistent results. This study examined parent reports of their children's anxiety sensitivity in order to explore the effects of age, sex, and ethnicity on cross informant associations with child reports using complementary statistical models. Parents and children (N = 202, aged 6-17 years) completed child and parent versions of the childhood anxiety sensitivity index [CASI (child) and CASI-P (parent)] as well as instruments assessing fears and manifest anxiety. Results indicated that the CASI-P demonstrated internal consistency, test-retest associations, incremental and concurrent validity estimates similar to those previously reported for the self report instrument. Moreover, reliability and validity were highly similar across age and child sex. However, age and ethnicity were found to significantly influence cross informant associations, and the statistical method used to examine cross informant associations produced differing conclusions. Results are discussed in terms of the utility of a parent report measure of anxiety sensitivity and implications of the differing statistical methods for clarifying the existing research on informant agreement in internalizing symptoms.
