Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Young Europeans now grow up in an era characterized by escalating economic, political, social, and educational inequalities, increasing racism and xenophobia, a high level of unemployment, and a declining trust in nearly all major social and political institutions. But how do these emerging processes of marginalization play out within and beyond educational institutions? How can we educate teachers for the new situation? In exploring these questions, the contributions in this honorary volume pay tribute to the research work of Professor Anne-Lise Arnesen, who has made an impressive effort to educate teachers for a diverse, tolerant, and inclusive society throughout her working life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federal safety net programs play a significant role in the lives of many children with autism from low-income households. Without safety net benefits, families of children with autism may be unable to afford life's necessities like food, shelter, and medications. Despite its critical importance, however, safety net use is largely overlooked in autism research. The primary purpose of this dissertation was to examine the distribution, parameters, and determinants of federal safety net program use among a nationally representative sample of children, ages 3-17 years, with autism from low-income households. Drawing from the 2016-2017 National Survey of Children's Health, the study employed descriptive and multivariate logistic regression analyses to examine how predisposing, enabling, and need factors influence participation in the following four safety net programs: cash assistance from a government welfare program; the woman infants and children (WIC) program; food stamps or supplemental nutrition assistance program benefits (SNAP); and free or reduced-cost breakfasts or lunches at school. The study compared the statistics for children with autism spectrum disorder to children with special health care needs who did not have autism, and children who did not have a special healthcare need or autism. Findings revealed that, even among low-income households, children with autism differed from children with other special healthcare needs in a number of ways: (a) they had poorer health and used and needed more services, (b) they were more likely to be Hispanic and from households with at least one immigrant parent, and (c) they were less likely to reside in the South but more likely to reside in the West. Children in the autism group had significantly higher levels of safety net use across all individual programs except for WIC. They also had higher levels of any safety net use and concurrent use, relative to comparison groups. In general, the magnitude and statistical significance of group differences were larger between children with autism and those with no special healthcare needs. Group differences in safety net outcomes generally persisted after controlling for predisposing characteristics, indicating that factors other than disability severity and sociodemographic characteristics contributed to group differences. Public health insurance and financial need played an important role in attenuating group differences in safety net program use and concurrent use. Findings also indicate that the relationship between public health insurance and safety net program use was explained in part, by variability in financial need. Despite the finding that children with autism from low-income households were more likely to use at least one safety net program than comparison groups, a sizeable proportion of children in the ASD group (14%) were still disconnected from all four safety net programs. Many of these children experienced material hardship with nearly two-thirds (64%) of disconnected parents of children with ASD reporting difficulty meeting basic needs at some point and about a third (34%) having to reduce work to care for their child. Having higher material hardship despite having access to safety net benefits seems to indicate challenges within existing safety net policies in being responsive to the needs of children with autism. Findings from this study raise important policy questions regarding proposed budget cuts for certain safety net programs, changes in program eligibility, and the role that public health insurance programs have on promoting access to the economic safety net. Future research about the economic security of children with ASD and their families could focus on the following five areas of inquiry: the analysis of subpopulations of low-income children with autism by race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic position; the consideration of multiple indicators of material hardship and financial burden; the assessment of the subpopulation of children with autism who do not receive safety net benefits despite being eligible; the identification of factors that drive group differences in federal safety net program use; and the examination of the role that safety net programs have in ameliorating the adverse effects of poverty for children with autism and their families.

Download or read book Trapped in America s Safety Net written by Andrea Louise Campbell and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-09-02 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “remarkable” look at the flaws of the social safety net through one family’s personal tragedy and the Catch-22 financial disaster that followed (Deborah A. Stone, author of Policy Paradox). When Andrea Louise Campbell’s sister-in-law, Marcella Wagner, was run off the freeway by a hit-and-run driver, she was seven-and-a-half months pregnant. She survived—and, miraculously, the baby was born healthy. But that’s where the good news ends. Marcella was left paralyzed from the chest down. This accident was much more than just a physical and emotional tragedy. Like so many Americans, neither Marcella nor her husband, Dave, who worked for a small business, had health insurance. On the day of the accident, she was on her way to class for the nursing program through which she hoped to secure one of the few remaining jobs in the area with the promise of employer-provided insurance. Instead, the accident plunged the young family into the tangled web of means-tested social assistance. As a social policy scholar, Campbell thought she knew a lot about means-tested assistance programs. What she quickly learned was that missing from most government manuals and scholarly analyses was an understanding of how these programs actually affect the lives of the people who depend on them. Using Marcella and Dave’s situation as a case in point, she reveals the programs’ shortcomings in this book. Because American safety net programs are designed for the poor, the couple first had to spend down their assets and drop their income to near-poverty level before qualifying for help. What’s more, to remain eligible, they’ll have to stay under these strictures for the rest of their lives, barred from doing many of the things middle-class families are encouraged to do: Save for retirement. Build an emergency fund. Take advantage of tax-free college savings. And, while Marcella and Dave’s story is tragic, the financial precariousness they endured even before the accident is all too common in America, where the prevalence of low-income work and unequal access to education have generated vast—and growing—economic inequality. The implementation of the ACA has cut the number of uninsured and underinsured and reduced some disparities in coverage, but continues to leave too many people open to tremendous risk. Behind the statistics and beyond the ideological battles are human beings whose lives are stunted by policies that purport to help them. In showing how and why this happens, Trapped in America’s Safety Net offers a way to change it. “An engaging narrative account of how social assistance programs shape real people’s lives. Campbell is authoritative and scholarly, yet warm and personal—a rare combination one sees in the likes of Oliver Sacks and Barbara Ehrenreich.” —Deborah A. Stone, author of Policy Paradox “Makes a compelling case for a stronger, more integrated, and ultimately more effective strategy for helping the millions of Americans who find themselves plummeting out of the insecure middle class.” —Jacob S. Hacker, New York Times–bestselling coauthor of Winner-Take-All Politics
Download or read book Primary Care and Public Health written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-07-19 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ensuring that members of society are healthy and reaching their full potential requires the prevention of disease and injury; the promotion of health and well-being; the assurance of conditions in which people can be healthy; and the provision of timely, effective, and coordinated health care. Achieving substantial and lasting improvements in population health will require a concerted effort from all these entities, aligned with a common goal. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requested that the Institute of Medicine (IOM) examine the integration of primary care and public health. Primary Care and Public Health identifies the best examples of effective public health and primary care integration and the factors that promote and sustain these efforts, examines ways by which HRSA and CDC can use provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to promote the integration of primary care and public health, and discusses how HRSA-supported primary care systems and state and local public health departments can effectively integrate and coordinate to improve efforts directed at disease prevention. This report is essential for all health care centers and providers, state and local policy makers, educators, government agencies, and the public for learning how to integrate and improve population health.
