The diagnostic odyssey of autism: a cross-sectional study of 3 age cohorts of children from the 2016-2018 National Survey of Children's Health - PubMed
Children with autism receive their first diagnosis, intervention plans and developmental services at younger ages than they had in the past. Future research is needed to identify the mechanisms for these improvements in early identification and intervention to accelerate additional progress.
Men who took classes in high school that prepared them for blue-collar occupations where jobs and wages later shrank have an increased risk of overdose death in adulthood.

Research suggests that economic declines contribute to mortality risks from suicide and drug poisoning, but how the economy impacts individuals' risks of these deaths has been challenging to specify. Building on recent theoretical advances, we investigate how adolescent occupational expectations and …
Women living in a predominantly Black neighborhood gave birth to infants that weighted less, on average, than women living neighborhoods where less than 75% of the residents were Black.

Prior studies of neighborhood racial segregation and intrauterine growth have not accounted for confounding factors in early life. We used the Life-Course Influences on Fetal Environment Study of births to Black women in metropolitan Detroit, 2009-2011, (<i>N</i> = 1,408) to examine whether health a …
Climate change, extreme events, and increased risk of salmonellosis: foodborne diseases active surveillance network (FoodNet), 2004-2014 - PubMed
Overall, our study suggests a stronger association between extreme precipitation events, compared to extreme heat, and salmonellosis across multiple U.S. regions. In addition, the rates of infection with Salmonella serovars that persist in environmental or plant-based reservoirs, such as S. Javiana …

Maternal persistent marijuana use and cigarette smoking are independently associated with shorter gestational age - PubMed
In this high-risk US population, maternal marijuana use and cigarette smoking during pregnancy were independently associated with shorter gestational age. When we examined the effects on preterm birth subtypes, the elevated risk was only observed with spontaneous preterm birth.
