  • Covid-19 and the Latinx community

    Open AccessChristina Marquez, Kelly Kazmierski et al.ARTICLEJournal of Latinx Psychology2023

    COVID-19 has disproportionately affected the Latinx community, leading to heightened economic instability and increased mortality/morbidity. Frontline community health workers ( promotoras ) have played an integral role in serving low-income Latinx immigrant communities, disseminating health information to this vulnerable community while also facing heightened risks to their own health and wellbeing. This study explores the impact of the pandemic…

  • Barreras y Soluciones

    Open AccessJessica L Borelli, Breana R Cervantes et al.ARTICLEFamily Process2022

    Barriers facing effective science‐to‐practice translation have led scholars to conduct early‐stage intervention research within community organizations. We describe our experiences developing a manualized parent–youth attachment‐based group therapy intervention within a community health organization dedicated to serving low‐income Latinx immigrant families, Latino Health Access (LHA), in which services are rendered by trained community workers (p…

  • Más que palabras

    Open AccessJosé Arreola, Lyric N Russo et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2022

    The adverse impact of maternal deportation fears on mental health is visible only when demographic stress is lower. Deportation fears may increase mental health risk, potentially reducing treatment seeking among families previously at lower risk. Findings underscore the importance of policy and sociocultural shifts. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)

  • Examining Interpersonal Traumas Across Low Income Latinx Mother-Youth Dyads

    Open AccessLyric N Russo, José Arreola et al.ARTICLEChild Psychiatry & Human…2022

    Child abuse has intergenerational consequences for psychopathology, however, there remains a paucity of research regarding how these experiences affect Latinx families, particularly those at risk for additional negative life events, such as racial discrimination. This study aims to contribute to this gap in the literature by examining the impact maternal child abuse exposure has on youth and maternal psychopathology, as well as whether these asso…

    Open AccessJessica L Borelli, Lyric N Russo et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community Psychology2021Citada por: 1Referencias: 71

    Latinx families are increasing in the population in the United States and have documented mental health concerns. Much remains to be understood about mental health predictors within this population. The present study aimed to help fill this gap and offer an in-depth assessment of psychopathology within a large (N = 330) sample of Latinx mothers and youth by exploring associations between sociodemographic risk, attachment relationship quality, and…

  • A resilient research approach

    Open AccessNoel L Shadowen, Nancy G Guerra et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community Psychology2020Referencias: 17

    This community‐based participatory action research (CBPAR) study describes a method for evaluating an after‐school resilience‐focused intervention in a low‐resource rural area of southern India. Communities Rising, a locally developed resilience and academic program, was evaluated in a cross‐continent collaboration between a research team at a U.S. university and the local community. The CBPAR literature highlights the importance of cultural cons…

  • Community readiness for youth violence prevention

    Noel L Shadowen, Nancy G Guerra et al.ARTICLEVulnerable Children and Youth…2017Referencias: 1

    Much attention in the field of community-based youth violence prevention has focused on the importance of evidence-based programs and practices – there are multiple lists of effective and promising programs (e.g. Blueprints, CrimeSolutions.gov), and reviews of best practices in the US and internationally are readily available (e.g. World Health Organization, 2010). Less attention has been directed toward community motivation and ‘readiness’ for a…

    This paper reports on the development and piloting of the Madres a Madres (Mothers to Mothers) program, a new, community‐based parent training program designed for immigrant Latina mothers and their children. Promotoras , or female community health workers of Latina background, delivered the program in a home visitation format. A total of 194 mothers and 194 focal children (87 male, 107 female) ages 7–12 were randomized to the intervention (113 m…

  • Can We Make Violent Behavior Less Adaptive for Youth

    Open AccessNancy G GuerraARTICLEHuman Development2012

    One of the reasons it is so difficult to prevent youth violence is that it works. For many youth, violence is one of the few available currencies they have to get ahead. It is relatively easy to learn and can be ‘traded’ for power, control, resources, respect, status, and other desired outcomes. This is particularly true for marginalized and disadvantaged youth in the USA and worldwide. As a Jamaican inner-city youth commented in a recent ethnogr…

  • Positive parenting, family cohesion, and child social competence among immigrant Latino families

    Melinda S Leidy, Nancy G Guerra et al.ARTICLEJournal of Latina/o Psychology2012Citada por: 4

    The relation between positive parenting, family cohesion, and child social competence was examined among Latino families (predominantly from Mexico) who were recent immigrants to the United States. A mixed method study was conducted, including both pre- and post-test self-reported surveys (9-month interval) and qualitative data from focus groups. A total of 282 parents and 282 children (ages 9-12) participated in the survey study. Results at post…

  • Understanding Bullying and Victimization During Childhood and Adolescence

    Open AccessNancy G Guerra, Kirk R Williams et al.ARTICLEChild Development2011

    In the present study, quantitative and qualitative data are presented to examine individual and contextual predictors of bullying and victimization and how they vary by age and gender. Two waves of survey data were collected from 2,678 elementary, middle, and high school youth attending 59 schools. In addition, 14 focus groups were conducted with 115 youth who did not participate in the survey. Changes in both bullying and victimization were pred…

  • Mobilizing Communities to Implement Evidence‐Based Practices in Youth Violence Prevention

    Open AccessThomas E Backer, Nancy G GuerraARTICLEAmerican Journal of Community…2011Citada por: 4Referencias: 30

    Community mobilization can increase the effective implementation of evidence‐based practices (EBPs) in youth violence prevention. These strategies bring together people and organizations in a community to try to solve or reduce a problem. They help communities address the challenges of identifying EBPs, disseminating them to local decision‐makers, and then implementing and sustaining them if they are successful. Science‐based systems for implemen…

    The effectiveness of the evidence based program, Families and Schools Together (FAST), was examined in two inter‐related studies with immigrant Latino (Mexican) families in the U.S. In Study 1, we reported findings from pre‐test, 3‐month post‐test, and 12‐month follow‐up surveys of parents and children participating in the FAST program. Families were selected from communities that were randomly assigned to either intervention or control groups. A…

  • Predictors of bullying and victimization in childhood and adolescence

    Clayton R Cook, Kirk R Williams et al.ARTICLESchool Psychology Quarterly2010

    Research on the predictors of 3 bully status groups (bullies, victims, and bully victims) for school-age children and adolescents was synthesized using meta-analytic procedures. The primary purpose was to determine the relative strength of individual and contextual predictors to identify targets for prevention and intervention. Age and how bullying was measured were also considered as moderators. From an original pool of 1,622 studies conducted s…

Although progress has been made, a number of important issues remain. In this article, the authors review several of the more prominent interventions for Latino youth and families, highlighting how they were adapted to or developed for Latino culture. They begin b…
