  • Housing Hardships and Health Risks Among Children and Youth

    Open AccessAndrew Foell, Cheryl Dimonte et al.ARTICLEChild & Family Social Work2026

    Housing and neighbourhood contexts are critical social determinants of health for children and youth. However, little is known about how co‐occurring socioecological factors, including household, housing and neighbourhood contexts, cumulatively influence child and youth health risks. The aims of this study were to examine the combined effects of household‐, housing‐ and neighbourhood‐based risk and protective factors on child and youth health ris…

  • Choice and Opportunity

    Andrew Foell, Patrick J Fowler et al.ARTICLEHousing Policy Debate2025

    Mixed-income development initiatives target distressed public housing for redevelopment and provide support to low-income families. These initiatives involve an involuntary move for families living in the sites targeted for redevelopment. The objectives of this study were to examine housing relocation, neighborhood change, and family well-being among families (n = 383) affected by the South City Choice Neighborhoods Initiative (CNI) in Memphis, T…

  • Exploring associations between neighborhood amenities and mental health

    Open AccessMelissa L Villodas, Ngozi Victoria Enelamah et al.ARTICLEWellbeing Space and Society2025

    The presence of neighborhood amenities influences youth mental health, with variation by race. • Sidewalks were associated with a higher likelihood of mental health challenges for some groups but lower likelihood for others, signaling the need for attention on how contextual factors shape this relationship. • Community investments in neighborhood amenities can support youth mental health, but require diverse youth voices to achieve equitable outc…

  • Examining the Utility of the Early Childhood Development Index (Ecdi) among Children in the Nigeria Context

    Open AccessNgozi Victoria Enelamah, Smitha Rao et al.ARTICLEChildren2024

    An estimated 6 million children under the age of five in Nigeria (out of nearly 31 million) risk not reaching their full developmental potential. The dearth of context-relevant measures poses a challenge to the planning and implementation of effective interventions. This study assesses the utility of the Early Childhood Development Index (ECDI) in Nigeria. We used the Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys to track progress among 3- to 4-year-old chi…

  • Structural and Intermediary Social Determinants of Health and the Emotional and Behavioral Health of US Children

    Open AccessNgozi Victoria Enelamah, Margaret Lombe et al.ARTICLEChildren2023

    Children grow up in homes where varying environmental and socioeconomic contexts have a bearing on their emotional and behavioral health (EBH). This study used data from a representative sample of the child supplement of the US National Health Information Survey (NHIS) and applied the social determinants of health (SDoH) framework to explore factors associated with child EBH. We conducted a path analysis of the child's EBH measured by the strengt…

    Suicide rates among youth are increasing, and African American youth are becoming the most likely group to die by suicide in the USA. We utilized ecodevelopmental theory to investigate the relationship between parental incarceration and substance misuse and their association with suicidal planning in a sample of African American youth and young adults. Participants consisted of 190 African American youth and young adults living in public housing …

    Open AccessMelissa L Villodas, Von Nebbitt et al.ARTICLEJournal of the Society for Social…2021References: 11

    The modified NCI is not ideal for assessing neighborhood cohesion among this understudied population. Future research should prioritize psychometric testing alongside cognitive interviewing, to provide a contextualized measure of neighborhood cohesion for this population

  • Maternal caregiver's typologies and internalized behaviors in African American adolescents living in urban public housing

    Open AccessMargaret Lombe, Von Nebbitt et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community Psychology2021Cited by: 1References: 66

    AIMS: This study explores how variations in maternal caregiver types may be associated with adolescents' internalized behaviors (i.e., depressive symptoms) and resources (i.e., attitudes toward delinquent behaviors and efficacious beliefs). METHOD: Using a sample of 375 African American youth from public housing in three large US cities, we used Latent Profile Analysis to identify various maternal caregiver classes. Multinomial logistic regressio…

  • The impact of the recession on food insecurity among households who were low income

    Margaret Lombe, Kaipeng Wang et al.ARTICLEJournal of Poverty2018Cited by: 1

    This article aims to investigate the impact of recession on food insecurity among households who are low income. Guided by family stress theory, this article uses data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (N = 3,701). Results suggest that prevalence of food insecurity continued to increase during and after the recession, with the most dramatic increase from 2008 to 2010. The changes in food insecurity prevalence over…

    This study examined the potential risk and protective parental factors associated with depression among African American youth living in public housing. Utilizing a community-based participatory research approach, 239 African-American youth surveys were collected during 2013–2014 in two urban public housing developments with low socioeconomic profiles. Over half (52.3%) of the sample was in high school and female (58%). 65.3% reported living with…

  • Religiosity and Antisocial Behavior

    C P Salas-Wright, T Tirmazi et al.ARTICLESocial Work Research2015Cited by: 1References: 6

    A growing body of literature suggests that religious engagement may protect youths from involvement in nonviolent and violent antisocial behavior. However, despite demographic evidence suggesting that religion may be particularly important among young African American women, research on religiosity as a candidate protective factor for this important subpopulation is sparse. Using a sample of 138 young, female African Americans recruited from publ…

  • Unheard voices

    Open AccessOtima Doyle, Trenette T Clark et al.ARTICLEPsychology of Men & Masculinity2015Cited by: 11References: 2

    Researchers have called for qualitative investigations into African American fathers’ parenting practices that consider their social context and identify specific practices. Such investigations can inform the way we conceptualize African American fathers’ parenting practices, which can in turn contribute to prevention interventions with at-risk youth. We conducted semi-structured, qualitative interviews about parenting with 30 self-identified, Af…

  • Descriptive Analysis of Individual and Community Factors among African American Youths in Urban Public Housing

    Von Nebbitt, V E Nebbitt et al.ARTICLESocial Work2014Cited by: 5References: 25

    African American adolescents are disproportionately represented in urban public housing developments. These neighborhoods are generally characterized by high rates of poverty, crime, violence, and disorganization. Although evidence is emerging on youths in these communities, little is known about their depressive symptoms, perceived efficacy, or frequency of substance use and sex-risk behavior. Further, even less is known about their exposure to …
