Positive impacts of a universal trauma-informed intervention on student mental health
Effective school-based universal interventions to prevent or reduce mental health problems among upper middle school students are lacking, particularly for student populations with chronic exposure to adversity. To address this gap, we conducted an efficacy trial that compared RAP (Relax, Aware, Personal rating) Club, a trauma-informed universal intervention, with an active control health education program called Healthy Topics (HT). We hypothesi…
Redlining, gentrification, and Black American mental health
Racialized housing discrimination has important implications for the mental health of Black American populations. This scoping review, conducted from May to December 2022, summarized key definitions and measurement approaches relevant to redlining and gentrification and their impact on the mental health of Black adults in the United States. Interdisciplinary research databases were searched (PudMed, SCOPUS, Sociological Abstracts, PsycINFO), and …
Disclosure of direct and witnessed police stops among Black youth in Baltimore City, Maryland
Youth-police contact is increasingly acknowledged as a stressor and a racialized adverse childhood experience that can undermine youths' mental health. There is limited empirical research, however, on youths' disclosure of police stops to trusted others and how disclosure might mitigate adverse mental health responses to police stops. The present study examines patterns of disclosure following direct and witnessed police stops and their implicati…

Feasibility and Acceptability of a Video Group Psychoeducational Intervention with Latina Immigrant Mothers to Enhance Infant Primary care
The Voices on Vax Campaign
We recommend using techniques to maximize engagement by the priority population, conducting in-person outreach, incorporating mixed methods data collection, and providing a mix of structured training and creative freedom to youth ambassadors
A greening theory of change
Neighborhoods are one of the key determinants of health disparities among young people in the United States. While neighborhood deprivation can exacerbate health disparities, amenities such as quality parks and greenspace can support adolescent health. Existing conceptual frameworks of greening‐health largely focus on greenspace exposures, rather than greening interventions. In this paper, we develop and propose a Greening Theory of Change that e…
Don't Forget the Parents
Caregivers of adolescent daughters with juvenile legal system involvement face unique stressors that have been largely overlooked in research and practice. The current study recruited 183 Black and Native North American/Indigenous caregivers with daughters involved in the juvenile legal system via a Qualtrics survey distributed using MTurk with careful screening practices. Results indicated high levels of stress and worry related to daughter's ju…
Stress, worry, and health problems experienced by Black and Indigenous caregivers of girls with juvenile legal system involvement
Training Residents on Understanding Trafficked Humans (TRUTH)
Trafficked persons frequently seek healthcare, but many go unrecognized. Most residency programs provide little to no education on the topic. In this pilot study, our objective was to demonstrate that human trafficking education improves residents’ knowledge, confidence, and attitudes concerning care of trafficked persons. Residents took part in a 1-hour didactic training on human trafficking. Knowledge, attitudes, and confidence were assessed in…
Anticipation of racially motivated police brutality and youth mental health
Adolescent Police Stops, Self-Harm, and Attempted Suicide
Objectives. To explore associations between police stops, self-harm, and attempted suicide among a large, representative sample of adolescents in the United Kingdom. Methods. Data were drawn from the 3 most recent sweeps of the UK Millennium Cohort Study (MCS), from 2012 to 2019. The MCS is an ongoing nationally representative contemporary birth cohort of children born in the United Kingdom between September 2000 and January 2002 (n = 10 345). We…
Confirming Profiles of Comorbid Psychological Symptoms in Urban Youth
How adolescents cope with food insecurity in Baltimore City
Objective: To increase our understanding about food insecurity among urban adolescents, we conducted a qualitative study in Baltimore City with adolescents to: (i) explore how adolescents experience and cope with food insecurity; and (ii) identify community-based approaches or interventions for addressing food insecurity. Design: A total of eight focus groups were conducted across six neighbourhoods. To gather sociodemographic characteristics and…
A mixed methods exploratory assessment of the usefulness of Baltimore City Health Department’s trauma-informed care training intervention
Youth exposure to trauma is a significant public health problem in the United States, particularly in urban areas. Although trauma-informed care (TIC) training of service providers to address this challenge is increasing nationwide, we lack empirical evidence regarding the feasibility and acceptability of cross-organizational TIC training, including perspectives of training participants. The purpose of our study was to evaluate participating serv…
Barriers and facilitators for access to mental health services by traumatized youth
Parenting styles and emerging adult depressive symptoms in Cebu, the Philippines
Incidence of depressive disorders and symptoms increases during the transition to adulthood. The parenting relationship is a potential target for interventions to reduce risk for depression in offspring during this time period, and a four-category typology of parenting styles (authoritative, permissive, authoritarian, and neglectful) has been found to correlate with offspring psychological functioning. The majority of studies, however, have exami…
A multilevel examination of racial disparities in high school discipline
National data have shown for decades that Black students experience more frequent and severe disciplinary actions that remove them from school (e.g., suspension), compared with their White peers. Despite extensive research documenting the sequelae associated with suspension (e.g., school drop-out and delinquency), there has been relatively scant research addressing the discipline gap as it relates to students’ sense of belonging and equitable tre…
The ethics of mental health survey research in low- and middle- income countries
Neuropsychiatric conditions are a leading cause of disability globally Efforts to understand this gap have led to an expansion of global mental health (GMH) research, particularly in low-and middle-income countries (LMIC) where the availability of treatment services is even more severely lacking Such surveys can provide data on unmet needs, be used to advocate for resources, and elucidate etiological processes; they also, however, pose ethical ch…
Inequality in Black and White High School Students’ Perceptions of School Support
Preventing Perinatal Depression in High Risk Women
Parenting styles and emerging adult drug use in Cebu, the Philippines
Parenting style is a potent and malleable influence on emerging adult substance use. Most of the parenting-substance use literature has been conducted in Western populations and it is unknown whether findings are generalizable to other cultures and contexts. We extended the parenting-substance use literature to a cohort of emerging adults in the Philippines using the Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey. We assessed associations between …
Intimate Partner Violence and Risk of Psychiatric Symptoms
Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Binge Eating
Asian Americans are more likely than non-Latino Whites to report binge eating, but are equally likely to meet binge eating disorder (BED) criteria. Using nationally representative data, we assessed whether differences in symptom reporting contributed to this disparity. Asian Americans were less likely than Whites to endorse BED symptoms related to distress or loss of control despite a higher prevalence of binge eating; they were also less likely …

Implementing mindfulness and yoga in urban schools
Purpose – Mindfulness-based interventions – which train capacities for attention, awareness, compassion, and self-regulation of thoughts and emotions – may offer unique benefits for urban youth exposed to chronic stress and adversity. Urban schools are promising settings in which to integrate mindfulness-based interventions; however, they pose complex challenges for intervention implementation and evaluation. Design/methodology/approach – The pap…
The relation of medical conditions to depressive symptoms among Latinos
Individuals with medical conditions report more depressive symptoms than those without such conditions. This study assessed whether physical activity (PA) plays a mediational role in the association between medical conditions and depressive symptoms among Latino adults. Adjusting for socioeconomic factors, those who reported having been diagnosed with diabetes, cardio-related disease, hypertension, high cholesterol, arthritis, or sleep problems e…

Psychosocial Strengths and Needs of Low‐income Substance Abusers in Recovery
Psychosocial heterogeneity among recovering substance users is not well understood. Cluster analysis was used to identify subgroups with distinct psychosocial profiles among a low‐income sample attending a community recovery center ( n = 151). Psychosocial characteristics assessed included depressive symptoms, perceived social support, self‐efficacy, and coping. A 3‐cluster solution explained the most variance in the constructs assessed (R 2 = 0.…
