CSDE Affiliates Susan Graham and Jane Simoni, with co-authors Douglas Barthold, Aaron Brah, and Brett Hauber, recently published an article documenting the development of survey through pilot testing. The authors’ survey includes an introduction to hypothetical treatment options, descriptions of attributes, comprehension questions, instructions for completing a discrete-choice experiment, a discrete-choice experiment with 17 choice tasks, and questions about personal characteristics. They further refine survey features over ten waves of pilot testing.

CSDE Affiliate Katarina Guttmannova with several co-authors recently published new research on Asian-American Adolescents in the Journal of Youth and Adolescence. This study examines the longitudinal association between cumulative neighborhood risk and internalizing behavior, and the moderating role of sex and co-ethnic density using an Asian American subsample of a longitudinal panel study over a span of 6 years. The authors find no evidence of moderation by co-ethnic density or sex, indicating that reducing neighborhood disadvantage may be a promising preventive measure to address mental health problems for both sexes of Asian American adolescents.
