The ICPSR Student Data Sandbox Debut (December 3, 2020 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79382 79382-20296437@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, December 3, 2020 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research

Introducing the ICPSR Student Data Sandbox!

The Sandbox (https://www.openicpsr.org/openicpsr/studentdata) is a place for students and classes from ICPSR member institutions to self-publish data they generate and/or use. Students will:
- Learn about data management with the goal of sharing
- Be recognized for the work they've contributed to social and behavioral research with a data citation and persistent identifier
- Learn from each other's data
The data can be collected by the students themselves or subsets of existing datasets, anything that students use for their own research.

This webinar will include best practices and general instructions for building your sandcastle (we had to!). We'll discuss how research methods courses that generally conduct campus surveys can compare their results to those from the previous years or to others from different kinds of schools, and how students looking for data for a research project might be interested to know what others have used. The possibilities are almost endless.

This is part of the ICPSR Maximizing Your Membership Value Series. See previous webinars from this series on the ICPSR YouTube channel, and find out more about ICPSR membership at icpsr.umich.edu.

What’s in a number? In the case of the U.S. Social Security number, the now-familiar nine digits hold a fascinating story about modern citizenship, governance and data. Starting in 1936, the SSN was affixed to more and more American lives, spurring new uses of punch cards and filing systems as well as novel dilemmas about personal data. This talk gives a brief history of the SSN and what it reveals about the changing state of “our” information.

OVERCOMING SYSTEMIC BARRIERS TO ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Over the past five years, less than 3% of venture capital funding went to Black and Latinx founders. What are the barriers to entrepreneurship for minorities and how can venture capital become more inclusive to entrepreneurs? What steps should be taken by operators and financiers to ensure that sufficient funding is accessible to businesses in these communities? Join moderator Rashmi Menon, entrepreneurship lecturer at Michigan Ross, for a panel discussion with entrepreneurs and venture capitalists about how they are working to expand equity in this space.

In this webinar, Michael Weiss and John Diamond will discuss MDRC’s The Higher Education Randomized Controlled Trial (THE-RCT) restricted-access dataset, recently released at the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR). THE-RCT is the largest individual-participant dataset from higher education randomized controlled trials to date, containing de-identified data from more than 25 MDRC random assignment evaluations encompassing 50 higher education institutions and 65,000 students! MDRC researchers are currently using this database to explore research questions such as:

• What happens to program effects after the program ends?
• Which program components (for example, enhanced advising, financial support, or tutoring) are associated with larger improvements in student success?
• What sized improvements in student success can various programs reasonably expect to achieve?

MDRC and ICPSR hope this dataset will inspire new scholarship that will help improve outcomes for low-income, underrepresented, and underprepared students, who have long been a focus of MDRC’s higher education studies. The dataset will continue to grow as MDRC and other organizations conduct additional higher education RCT studies, making it a more useful resource over time. We hope that you can attend this webinar to learn more about this exciting new resource!

This webinar is free and open to the public. This webinar will be recorded. The recording will be available on the ICPSR YouTube page.

Examining the impact of COVID-19 on adults with physical disabilities from marginalized communities (April 22, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/83637 83637-21446269@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 22, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research

This webinar will present the findings from a recent study on the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on adults with physical disabilities from marginalized communities in Southeast Michigan, one of the early pandemic epicenters in the United States. Interviews with 16 adults revealed how participants either had to engage in risky behavior to have their needs met or avoid risk and not have those needs met. They contribute to understandings of risk, its impact on physical and psychological health, and the importance of accommodations. The study expands insight into early responses to the pandemic among individuals with long-term physical disabilities from marginalized communities. It helps elucidate how socioeconomic status and race/ethnicity can differentially impact the lives of adults with physical disabilities and further marginalize a population that is “always already” vulnerable. This knowledge can expand awareness and appreciation of how social, economic, and political systems are structured and integrated into future clinical guidelines and emergency response policies and more adequately addressed.

This webinar is free and open to the public. Communication Access Realtime Translation services will be available to provide live closed captions for the event.

Beyond the Pandemic: Challenges and Opportunities for Changes in Education
Wednesday, May 12 at 1pm EDT
https://umich.zoom.us/j/96351558688

At the end of the school year in 2020 parents, educators, and researchers, wondered how to deal with the “COVID slide” related to achievement and gains in learning due to schools shifting to virtual learning across the country. What we did not know at the time is that many schools would struggle to open at all in the Fall of 2020 and online and remote learning would continue to be one of the primary ways that children were educated for the rest of the 2020-21 school year. Today, the question remains: What will parents, educators, and researchers need to consider regarding achievement and learning gains as children are likely to return to in-person schooling in Fall 2021? Dr. Pamela Davis-Kean will discuss her research on how homeschooling was discussed on social media, the issues related to “holding back” or repeating a grade in primary school, and how new proposed policies for free community college may be important for helping those in secondary education get extra time to develop skills for entry into a four-year college.

Student-athletes represent a distinguished population of resilient and high-performing individuals. However, for student-athletes of color, winning often requires them to also defeat the mighty foe of racism.

In honor of May as Mental Health Awareness Month, this Community Conversation will include a panel of mental health experts who work with student-athletes as they center racism as a mental health crisis, address the impact of racial trauma on the mental and physical well-being of student-athletes of color, and offer recommendations for healing and supporting this unique population of students.

Please join us for this conversation to learn how you may be a ‘player' in this game! Open to student-athletes of color and all who support them.

Student-athletes represent a distinguished population of resilient and high-performing individuals. However, for student-athletes of color, winning often requires them to also defeat the mighty foe of racism.

In honor of May as Mental Health Awareness Month, this Community Conversation will include a panel of mental health experts who work with student-athletes as they center racism as a mental health crisis, address the impact of racial trauma on the mental and physical well-being of student-athletes of color, and offer recommendations for healing and supporting this unique population of students.

Please join us for this conversation to learn how you may be a ‘player' in this game! Open to student-athletes of color and all who support them.

Examining the Risk of Potentially Preventable Hospitalization in Adults with Congenital and Acquired Disabilities (July 8, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/84312 84312-21623271@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, July 8, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location

Adults with pediatric-onset (cerebral palsy/spina bifida (CP/SB)) or acquired disabilities (spinal cord injury (SCI) or multiple sclerosis (MS)) are more likely than those without disability to develop medical complications. Little is known about potentially preventable hospitalizations (PPH) among adults with disabilities. PPHs are preventable if a patient had timely access to care. The objective of this study was to examine potential risk and protective factors for PPH, comparing adults with aforementioned disabilities to people without. Our results indicate that adults with disabilities were at greater odds for PPH compared to people without disabilities. Use of preventative services such as annual wellness visit had substantial protective association against PPH. Attendees will learn: (1) how to work with administrative claims data and medical codes to identify appropriate case and control groups; (2) how to define covariates and outcome measures in claims data; (3) how to use various modeling techniques to test a hypothesis; (4) how to interpret the results and develop policy implications.

This webinar is free and open to the public. Communication Access Realtime Translation services will be available to provide live closed captions for the event.

The content of this webinar has been developed under a grant from the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR #90RTHF0001).

How to Use TransPop Data: The first national probability sample of transgender individuals in the United States (July 22, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/84448 84448-21623998@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, July 22, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research

Join us for a virtual presentation of TransPop, the first national probability sample of transgender individuals in the United States. During this presentation you'll learn how to use these data to reach your own groundbreaking results.

The TransPop study not only describes the demographic make-up of the transgender population and their experiences related to identity and transition, but also aims to provide information on areas like health outcomes, health care access, quality of life, and experiences with discrimination.

In addition to being the first national probability sample of transgender individuals in the United States, it also includes a comparative cisgender sample. A primary goal of this study was to provide researchers with a representative sample of transgender people in the United States. The study examines a variety of health-relevant domains including health outcomes and health behaviors, experiences with interpersonal and institutional discrimination, identity, transition-related experiences, and basic demographic characteristics (age, race/ethnicity, religion, political party affiliation, marital status, employment, income, location, sex, gender, and education).

The TransPop study is available at https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR37938.v1.

This webinar is free and open to the public. A live transcript will be available. The webinar will be recorded, and the recording and slides will be sent to all registrants after the webinar.

Techniques and Challenges for EHR Phenotyping

Speaker:
Lisa Bastarache, MS
Research Associate Professor Department of Biomedical Informatics,
Vanderbilt University

Electronic health records (EHR) contain a wealth of real world data that can be used for research purposes. However, extracting phenotype information from EHRs can be challenging. EHR phenotyping can be divided into two types: (1) Fast phenotyping which seeks to capture a broad swath of the medical phenome, and is often accomplished using coded EHR data (e.g. billing codes) and (2) slow phenotyping that seeks to achieve high precision and recall for a single phenotype, and often uses multiple EHR data types (e.g. medications, text, lab results). This talk will describe specific use-cases for both fast and slow phenotyping, and review challenges that are commonly encountered in creating research-grade EHR phenotypes.

Adults with pediatric-onset neurodevelopmental disabilities and skeletal disabilities are often challenged by bone fragility. We will discuss implications of skeletal fragility and fracture risk on health outcomes and quality of life over the lifespan. We will describe the physiology of bone development and how it differs in these disabilities, and the importance of considering bone size and mineralization as an innovative way of assessing fracture risk. This information forms the basis for discussing how bone strength is affected in various conditions, along with implications for treatment. Knowing the biological and biomechanical pathways to fragility can inform on novel and better ways to screen, monitor, and treat bone fragility based on the skeletal needs of the individual.

Negated and Polar Opposite Items for Balanced Scale construction: An Empirical Cross-Cultural Assessment

Fernanda Alvarado-Leiton

Acquiescent Response Style (ARS) is a culturally patterned measurement error in surveys that threatens comparisons across groups with different cultural backgrounds potentially undermining inclusivity estimating attitudes and beliefs in a population. Balanced scales blend items written in different directions and are hypothesized as a method for controlling ARS. This study examined the differences in measurement properties between two types of balanced scales. The first balanced scale type included negated items, which were item reversals formed by inserting a negation, such as, “no” and “not.” The second type included polar opposite items, which used antonyms or opposite terms to reverse the item direction (e.g., “unhappy” as the opposite of “satisfied”). Participants were recruited to a Web survey and randomly assigned to (1) unbalanced, (2) negated balanced or (3) polar opposite balanced scales. Participants came from three groups with different ARS tendencies to contrast the effects of scale wording in mitigating ARS across groups and improving measurement across cultural subgroups. These groups were: Non-Hispanic White respondents, Hispanic respondents in Mexico and Hispanic respondents in the US. Both types of balanced scales outperformed unbalanced scales in convergent validity, with higher correlations between scale scores and validation variables for balanced than unbalanced scales. No statistical differences were observed between negated and polar opposite scales in fit indices of factor models, reliability measures or convergent validity for any group. These findings suggest that negated and polar opposite balanced scales are equivalent for ARS control, and that they yield adequate measurement properties for all groups included in the study.

Response Style and Measurement of Satisfaction with Life

Sunghee Lee

Satisfaction with Life (SWL), a five-item scale, is designed to assess global judgment about one’s satisfaction with life as a whole rather than specific domains of life. Popularly used by many organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), it has been translated into over 30 languages. However, with its standard version using a 7-point Likert response scale, it is subject to measurement error due to response style and measurement non-comparability across groups associated with systematically different response styles. More importantly, whether and how this is addressed in research may have implications for its inclusivity. This study examines the utility of balancing the SWL scale experimentally with multiple racial/ethnic/linguistic groups in the US: Latinx dominant in English, Latinx dominant in Spanish, non- Latinx Whites, non-Latinx Blacks, non-Latinx Koreans dominant in English and non-Latinx Koreans dominant in Korean. The results suggest the benefit of balancing measurement scales but not for groups that engage in middle response style.

Reducing Acquiescent Response Style with Conversational Interviewing

Rachel Davis

Acquiescent response style (ARS), the tendency for survey respondents to select positive answers such as “Strongly Agree,” is of particular concern for increasing measurement error in surveys with populations who are more likely to acquiesce, such as U.S. Latinx respondents. This study enrolled 891 Latinx telephone survey respondents in an experiment to address two questions: (1) Does administering a questionnaire using conversational interviewing (CI) yield less ARS than standardized interviewing (SI)? (2) Do item-specific (IS) response scales reduce ARS when compared to disagree/agree (DA) response formats? No difference was observed in ARS between the DA and IS response scales. However, CI yielded significantly lower ARS than SI, likely due to the CI interviewers' efforts to clarify questions and help with response mapping. Findings from this study suggest that using CI to administer survey questions may decrease use of ARS and improve data quality among survey respondents who are more likely to engage in ARS.
