Navigating the disability process: persons with mental disorders applying for and receiving disability benefits.

Persons with mental disorders are less likely to be working and more likely to apply for and receive SSDI and/or SSI benefits than are those without such disorders. Data from the National Health Interview Survey on Disability (NHIS-D) were examined to identify the predictors of SSDI/SSI application and receipt among persons with self-reported mental disorders. Compared with nonapplicants, applicants had higher levels of disability, fewer financial and interpersonal resources, and better access to information about the disability programs. Among applicants, similar factors distinguished recipients from those who did not receive benefits. Navigating the disability process is associated with the extent of impairment, economic and social disadvantage, and linkage to the disability determination process.

[An investigation of age related slowing in cognitive processing speed in a mental rotation task].

The age related slowing in cognitive processing speed was investigated with a mental rotation task. Slope of regression line predicting reaction time from rotation angle was assumed to be an index of mental rotation speed, and the intercept increase when the task was changed standard to mirror image, an index of decision process speed. Three groups were compared: young control (mean age = 19.1), younger elderly (M = 69.5) and older elderly (M = 79.0). In the mental rotation speed, an age difference between the control and older groups, but not between the older groups, was found. However, the decision process speed differed no only between the control and older groups, but also between the two older groups. These findings indicated that the effect of aging was larger on decision process than on mental rotation.

Poverty, family process, and the mental health of immigrant children in Canada.

OBJECTIVES: This study examined the differential effects of poverty on the mental health of foreign-born children, Canadian-born children of immigrant parents, and children of non-immigrant parents. METHODS: Secondary analysis of data from a national Canadian study of children between 4 and 11 years of age was conducted. RESULTS: Compared with their receiving-society counterparts, foreign-born children were more than twice as likely to live in poor families, but they had lower levels of emotional and behavioral problems. The effect of poverty on children's mental health among long-term immigrant and receiving-society families was indirect and primarily mediated by single-parent status, ineffective parenting, parental depression, and family dysfunction. In comparison, the mental health effect of poverty among foreign-born children could not be explained by the disadvantages that poor families often suffer. CONCLUSIONS: Poverty may represent a transient and inevitable part of the resettlement process for new immigrant families. For long-stay immigrant and receiving-society families, however, poverty probably is not part of an unfolding process; instead, it is the nadir of a cycle of disadvantage.
