In large part, we have thrown out the antiquated notions of the 1800s, giving way to a more realistic, sociocultural view of the world. The United States is, perhaps more than any other industrialized country, distinguished by the size and diversity of its racial and ethnic minority populations. Current trends promise that these features will endure. Fifty years from now, there will most likely be no single majority group in the United States. How will we fare as a nation when race-based issues such as immigration, job opportunities, and affirmative action are already so contentious today? In America Becoming , leading scholars and commentators explore past and current trends among African Americans, Hispanics, Asian Americans, and Native Americans in the context of a white majority. This volume presents the most up-to-date findings and analysis on racial and social dynamics, with recommendations for ongoing research. It examines compelling issues in the field of race relations, including: Race and ethnicity in criminal justice. Demographic and social trends for Hispanics, Asian Americans, and Native Americans. Trends in minority-owned businesses. Wealth, welfare, and racial stratification. Residential segregation and the meaning of "neighborhood." Disparities in educational test scores among races and ethnicities. Health and development for minority children, adolescents, and adults. Race and ethnicity in the labor market, including the role of minorities in America's military. Immigration and the dynamics of race and ethnicity. The changing meaning of race. Changing racial attitudes. This collection of papers, compiled and edited by distinguished leaders in the behavioral and social sciences, represents the most current literature in the field. Volume 1 covers demographic trends, immigration, racial attitudes, and the geography of opportunity. Volume 2 deals with the criminal justice system, the labor market, welfare, and health trends. Both books will be of great interest to educators, scholars, researchers, students, social scientists, and policymakers. 606 $aMinorities$zUnited States$xSocial conditions$xResearch$vCongresses 606 $aMinorities$zUnited States$xEconomic conditions$xResearch$vCongresses 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations$xResearch$vCongresses 607 $aUnited States$xEthnic relations$xResearch$vCongresses 607 $aUnited States$xPopulation$vStatistics$vCongresses 615 0$aMinorities$xSocial conditions$xResearch 615 0$aMinorities$xEconomic conditions$xResearch 676 $a305.8/00973 701 $aSmelser$b Neil J$089308 701 $aWilson$b William J.$f1935-$044079 701 $aMitchell$b Faith$f1952-$01803681 712 12$aResearch Conference on Racial Trends in the United States$f(1998 :$eWashington, D.C.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970037503321 996 $aAmerica becoming$94477039 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05466nam 2201093Ia 450 001 9910959189503321 005 20251017110122.0 010 $a9786611767303 010 $a9780309185929 010 $a0309185920 010 $a9781281767301 010 $a1281767301 010 $a9780309120579 010 $a0309120578 035 $a(CKB)1000000000539248 035 $a(EBL)3378384 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000208285 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11201327 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000208285 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10240175 035 $a(PQKB)10404216 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3378384 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10246295 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL176730 035 $a(OCoLC)923279120 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3378384 035 $a(Perlego)4739077 035 $a(DNLM)1484050 035 $a(BIP)21781871 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000539248 100 $a20080915d2008 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 04$aThe National Children's Study Research Plan $ea review /$fPanel to Review the National Children's Study Research Plan, Committee on National Statistics, Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education, National Research Council, Board on Children, Youth and Families, Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education, National Research Council and Institute of Medicine and Board on Population Health and Public Health Practice, Institute of Medicine [and] National Research Council of the National Academies 205 $aFirst edition. 210 1$aWashington, D.C. :$cNational Academies Press,$d2008. 215 $a1 online resource (167 pages) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$aPrint version: National Children's Study research plan.

It proposes to examine the effects of environmental influences on the health and development of approximately 100,000 children across the United States, following them from before birth until age 21. By archiving all of the data collected, the NCS is intended to provide a valuable resource for analyses conducted many years into the future. This book evaluates the research plan for the NCS, by assessing the scientific rigor of the study and the extent to which it is being carried out with methods, measures, and collection of data and specimens to maximize the scientific yield of the study. The book concludes that if the NCS is conducted as proposed, the database derived from the study should be valuable for investigating hypotheses described in the research plan as well as additional hypotheses that will evolve. Nevertheless, there are important weaknesses and shortcomings in the research plan that diminish the study's expected value below what it might be. 606 $aChildren$xHealth and hygiene$xResearch$zUnited States 606 $aChildren$xHealth and hygiene$zUnited States$vStatistics 606 $aMedical policy$zUnited States 606 $aPublic health$xResearch$zUnited States 606 $aPublic health$zUnited States$vStatistics 606 $aChild development 606 $aChildren 606 $aChild health services 606 $aMedical policy 606 $aLongitudinal method 606 $aResearch 606 $aChild Development 606 $aPsychology, Child 606 $aChild 606 $aHealth Policy 606 $aLongitudinal Studies 606 $aResearch 606 $aChild Behavior 607 $aUnited States 615 0$aChildren$xHealth and hygiene$xResearch 615 0$aChildren$xHealth and hygiene 615 0$aMedical policy 615 0$aPublic health$xResearch 615 0$aPublic health 615 0$aChild development. 615 0$aChildren. 615 0$aChild health services. 615 0$aMedical policy. 615 0$aLongitudinal method. 615 0$aResearch. 615 12$aChild Development. 615 12$aPsychology, Child. 615 22$aChild. 615 22$aHealth Policy. 615 22$aLongitudinal Studies. 615 22$aResearch. 615 2$aChild Behavior. 676 $a613.0432 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bBoard on Children, Youth, and Families. 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bBoard on Population Health and Public Health Practice. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on National Statistics. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bPanel to Review the National Children's Study Research Plan. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959189503321 996 $aThe National Children's Study Research Plan$94358413 997 $aUNINA
