Exploring Role and Experience Factors on a Virtual, Echo‐Based School Mental Health Professional Development Program
In‐service training for school staff, generally referred to as professional development (PD), may bolster a school's capacity for implementing school mental health (SMH) services. However, not all PD results in knowledge or behavior change. In one model of PD, Project Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO), participants collaborate with each other and a panel of SMH experts on case consultation and didactics. Although ECHO has shown t…

Urban Black adolescents' victimization experiences
This study investigated the moderating role of family factors on victimization experiences and internalizing and academic outcomes. Data (collected 2017–2019) on 471 Black urban ninth graders (51% male; M age = 14 years) with elevated externalizing symptoms were analyzed and we explored how the interaction between (self‐reported) racial socialization, parent relations, and (teacher‐reported) family academic involvement and (self‐reported) violenc…
Ethnic-Racial (Mis)Match between Mentors and Mentees on Perceived Strength of Relationship
Mentoring programs are popular mechanisms for promoting positive youth development due to developmental research suggesting that youth with strong relationships with a special adult have a lower likelihood of a range of negative outcomes. Community-based mentoring programs are mechanisms for promoting access to mental health support and positive youth outcomes. Youth mentorship programs reveal mixed and modest outcomes, yet youth outcomes are mor…
Are We Moving the Needle on Racial Disproportionality? Measurement Challenges in Evaluating School Discipline Reform
Challenges in the measurement of racial disparities in school discipline are a significant barrier to identifying policy and programmatic reforms that are effective at closing gaps. This article reviews key measurement issues and presents a set of empirical analyses as an illustrative case study. Specifically, we reframe the interpretation of discipline data in light of initiatives designed to reduce racial discipline disparities. We also charact…
Future Orientation Among Children Affected by Parental HIV in China
We utilized an exploratory analytic approach to examine predictors of children's future beliefs, an internal asset associated with resilience among children affected by HIV, with emphasis on complex interactions among multisystem factors. Children ( N = 1221) affected by parental HIV in China reported on psychosocial functioning, as well as internal, familial, and community resilience assets. Exploratory data analysis was conducted using a binary…

Contextualizing the Association Between School Climate and Student Well‐Being
BACKGROUND: In rural communities, understanding and improving school climate may benefit youth facing unique contextual challenges to well-being. As education research rarely focuses on rural schools, we aimed to examine school climate and student well-being with a particular focus on rural schools, compared to suburban schools. METHODS: Cross-sectional survey data were collected from 62,265 students in 22 rural and 78 suburban Maryland middle an…
Buffering Effects of Racial Discrimination on School Engagement
BACKGROUND: Urban black adolescents' wellbeing in the early high school years can be negatively impacted by exposure to racial discrimination. These impacts may be buffered by supportive relationships with adults at school. We considered both the protective and promotive effects of culturally responsive teachers and caring school police on school engagement for students exposed to racial discrimination across settings. METHOD: This study leverage…
Triangulating School Climate
Highlights Observed classroom and school environmental factors relate to how students perceive school climate. Observations account for large proportions of the shared variation in school climate perceptions. Findings suggest the utility of outside observations to explain variation in school climate
Improving understanding of how mentoring works
The objective is to develop and test dimensionality and validity of a new measure of five mentoring intervention processes drawn from emphases across prior mentoring efforts that might be the basis for effects: identification with the mentor, social and emotional support, teaching and education, and advocacy, and shared time and activity. Partial validation of value was drawn from moderation role in a meta‐analysis of mentoring (Tolan, Henry, Lov…
Fitting Large Factor Analysis Models With Ordinal Data
A simulation study was conducted to investigate the model size effect when confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) models include many ordinal items. CFA models including between 15 and 120 ordinal items were analyzed with mean- and variance-adjusted weighted least squares to determine how varying sample size, number of ordered categories, and misspecification affect parameter estimates, standard errors of parameter estimates, and selected fit indices…
Evaluating Factorial Invariance
In this study, we introduce an interval estimation approach based on Bayesian structural equation modeling to evaluate factorial invariance. For each tested parameter, the size of noninvariance with an uncertainty interval (i.e. highest density interval [HDI]) is assessed via Bayesian parameter estimation. By comparing the most credible values (i.e. 95% HDI) with a region of practical equivalence (ROPE), the Bayesian approach allows researchers t…

Feasibility and Preliminary Outcomes From a Pilot Study of an Integrated Health-Mental Health Promotion Program in School Mental Health Services
The prevalence of unmet health and mental health needs among youth has spurred the growing consensus to develop strategies that integrate services to promote overall well-being. This pilot study reports on the feasibility and outcomes of a theory-driven, family-focused, integrated health-mental health promotion program for underserved adolescents receiving school mental health services. Parent and adolescent assessments conducted prior to and fol…
