A gradient of childhood self-control predicts health, wealth, and public safety - Moffitt et. al - 2011 - Article

Summary with the article: A gradient of childhood self-control predicts health, wealth, and public safety - Moffitt et. al - 2011

To improve citizen's health and wealth, policy-makers are considering large-scale programs aimed at self-control. Self-control refers to the ability to delay gratification, control impulses, and modulate emotional expression. It is one of the earliest and most ubiquitous demands that society places on their children. However, one question remains to be answered before policy-makers can decide on actually implementing such programs. That is, whether self-control can be proven to be important for the health, wealth, and public safety of the population. This question is the main research question in the present study.

In this study, a cohort of 1,000 children was followed from birth to the age of 32. Throughout these years, the participants were examined on their level of self-control. SIn fact, success at many life tasks critically

The use of outpatient mental health care services of migrants vis-á-vis Dutch natives: Equal access? - Koopmans - 2012 - Article

Summary with the article: The use of outpatient mental health care services of migrants vis-á-vis Dutch natives: Equal access? - Koopmans, Uiters, Deville, Foets - 2012

Although migrants have a higher risk and frequency of mental health problems, not much is known about the use of mental health care among European migrants. Ethnic minorities in North America are less likely to seek mental help than other groups, regardless of their health.

This research uses the definitions from Andersen's behavioural model to investigate the differences in health care usage between migrants and natives. This behavioural model is used in health care to demonstrate which factors lead to the use of health care services. These factors include risk factors, protection factors, and needs. The model is used for

Waarom werken wij? - Chapter 1

‘Waarom werken wij?’ is een vraag waarvan veel mensen het antwoord weten, zoals vaker het geval is bij sociale wetenschappen. Deze algemeen bekende antwoorden zijn juist interessant om te onderzoeken: het vanzelfsprekende ter discussie stellen levert nieuwe, verrassende antwoorden op. In dit proefschrift van Frank van Luijk staat de vraag “Waarom werken wij?” centraal.
