Mate Selection Behavior of GED Recipients

The General Educational Development (GED) degree is designed to be a credential equivalent to the high school diploma. However, growing evidence indicates that GED recipients have worse outcomes than high school graduates. Such findings raise the question: is the GED socially equivalent to the high school diploma? Although educational assortative mating patterns have long been used as a barometer of the social distance across educational groups, there has not been a study that has addressed this question by examining the marital sorting patterns of GED recipients. Using log-linear models, our study shows that the odds of intermarriage between GED recipients and high school graduates resemble those between GED recipients and those without a secondary degree. Racial/ethnic minorities had greater difficulty crossing the GED/high school graduate boundary when they married. Our findings detract from the purported view that the GED degree is equivalent to a traditional high school diploma.

Sectoral Relations, Appropriateness, Supply-Demand Problem in the Post-Secondary Vocational Schools: Recommendations for Improvement

This current study aims to identify the problem areas of the post-secondary vocational schools and develop some possible actions that could be taken to improve them. In order to obtain information about the current status of these schools, a questionnaire was prepared and distributed to post-secondary vocational school employees and 167 industrial sector representatives. The answers of these respondents were analyzed by using factor analysis, and some indexes were generated. The results of this study suggest that the main problems of the post-secondary vocational schools are stated as the limited collaboration between the post-secondary vocational schools and the private sector firms, selection of inappropriate locations to open post-secondary vocational schools, limited social facilities, and the lack of job opportunities for some graduates of associate degree programs. Some institutional and educational recommendations are suggested by the participants for solving these problems. For example, to improve the institutional status of the post-secondary vocational schools, the duration of workplace training should be increased, machinery and equipment used in these schools should be enhanced, and employment demand projections should be taken into consideration while determining the student admission quotas. In terms of education and training, they propose that the education period should be extended for the students to gain professional skills and competences, and a preparatory class should be placed to improve the basic professional skills of the general high school graduates who enrolled in these schools.

Obese Body Mass Index in late-life as a protective factor for Mild Cognitive Impairment, Dementia and Death

Objective: The goal of the current study was to estimate the hazards of conversion from unimpaired to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to probable dementia and death for underweight, normal, overweight and obese older adults in an aging cohort where the timing of examinations may be associated with the severity of dementia. Methods: We analyzed six waves of the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS); a longitudinal aging cohort. Participants were classified into mutually exclusive cognitive statuses: cognitively unimpaired, MCI, probable dementia and death. Time-to-event ratios and cognitive transitions were examined with multistate survival models accounting for misclassification. BMI was computed from height and weight measurements and expressed in kg/m2 and categorized into underweight, normal, overweight and obese. Results: Participants (n=6,078) were 77 years old, on average, and the majority were white, females and high school graduates. About one third (32.68%) of the sample has normal BMI, one third is overweight (35.59%), the rests are obese (26.41%) or underweight (5.33%). After adjusting for the effects of diabetes, CVD, vigorous physical activity, age and race/ethnicity, the protective effect of obesity in late-life against developing dementia (HR=0.44; 95%CI[0.29-0.67]) and dying from dementia (HR=0.63; 95%CI[0.42-0.95). Discussion: Prior research shows the risk of dementia associated with obesity at older ages is either attenuated or reversed. Our findings support a protective factor of obesity in late-life against conversion to dementia and death.

Intergenerational Education and Late-life Cognitive Decline among Latinos and Non-Hispanic Whites

Latinos face a growing burden of Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementia (ADRD). Although education has been established as a strong predictor of ADRD, evidence to date is primarily for non-Latino cohorts. Few studies have assessed the relationship between intergenerational education and one’s cognitive decline. Using the US Health and Retirement Study (N=20,860) we evaluated the joint effect of parental and own educational attainment on immediate and delayed verbal memory scores (range 0-10) from 1998 to 2016. The exposure was a 4-category variable based on parents’ (highest of mother’s or father’s) and participant’s own high school attainment: first-generation (parents’ education &lt;12; own ≥12); multi-generation (both ≥12: REF); neither graduated high school (both &lt;12) and parent(s) graduated high school but not respondent (parents ≥12; own &lt;12). Linear mixed effects models with subject-specific random intercepts and random slopes were stratified by race/ethnicity and tested for a 3-way interaction term (exposure x Latino x time). Models controlled for age, sex, place of birth and retest effects. Baseline verbal memory scores did not differ for first-generation compared to multi-generation high school graduates. Verbal memory decline was faster for first- compared to multi-generation high school graduates among non-Hispanic whites (e.g., β=-0.04; 95% CI: -0.05, -0.03, delayed verbal recall); among Latinos, first and multi-generation high school graduates had similar rates of decline (e.g. β=0.00; 95% CI: -0.03, 0.04, delayed verbal recall; p&lt;0.001 for three-way interaction). Our findings suggest social and economic policies that facilitate educational achievement, particularly for important population subgroups, may reduce ADRD risk.

Coping Styles Among High School Graduates Aiming to Study Medicine in Dealing With Depressive and Anxious Symptoms

Background: Psychological distress, its associated stressors and resilience factors, and the implications derived for the education and training of medical students and physicians have long been the subject of international studies. The study presented here investigated affective symptoms in association with coping styles in the earliest phase of University medical education: high school graduates aiming to study medicine.Materials and Methods: We conducted a self-report survey at a medical school in Germany among high school graduates who indicated being interested in studying medicine at the university's on-campus recruitment day. The questionnaire included validated instruments for the self-assessment of symptoms of depression (i.e., Patient Health Questionnaire; PHQ-9) and anxiety (i.e., Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 (GAD-7), and participants were also asked to rate functional and dysfunctional behavior-based coping styles for symptoms of depression and anxiety. Additional variables addressed were gender, motivation, interest in studying medicine, and parental employment in medicine.Results: Of 400 high school graduates, 346 (87%) completed the survey. More than 40 (12.5%) and nearly 30 (8.4%) reported relevant symptoms of depression (PHQ-9 sum score ≥10) and anxiety (GAD-7 sum score ≥10), respectively. Among the graduates, young women had higher values for symptoms of depression than young men, and one's interested exclusively in studying human medicine tended to have marginally higher levels of symptoms of depression than ones who were also interested in other subjects. Relevant functional coping styles included seeking social support, relaxing, engaging in sports, listening to or making music, and reading books, whereas relevant dysfunctional coping styles included consuming alcohol, abusing drugs, restrictive eating, watching TV, surfing the Internet, and withdrawing and ruminating.Conclusion: The results clarify the burden and associated resilience factors of premedical high school graduates at the earliest phase of their University education. As such, they reveal ways to address educational and supportive services and support the need for further investigation into factors of success in studying human medicine.
