Marshallese Child Development Account Program
This pilot study was designed to assess the association of post-secondary education savings with improvement in outcomes associated with status attainment for 77 low-income Marshallese households. Given that little is known about specific status attainment measures for Marshallese households, this study provides an important glimpse into the strengths and needs of this population as well as the associations between CDA Program participation and s…
Food Security in the Time of Covid-19 for a Marshallese Community
Using an individual and family ecological systems model, we explored food security among a Marshallese cohort in Northwest Arkansas during the COVID-19 pandemic. We hypothesized that Marshallese households were experiencing high rates of food insecurity due to socioeconomic and systemic risk factors. Seventy-one Marshallese adults shared socioeconomic information about their household via an online survey. Descriptive results indicate that 91% of…
An Exploratory Study of African American Men’s Perspectives of Intraracial, Heterosexual Intimate Partner Violence Using a Multisystems Life Course Framework
Objective: Intimate partner violence (IPV) adversely affects the lives of many different groups. We examined the experiences of IPV among African American men and the meaning men gave to such experiences in their communities. Method: Using a multisystems life course perspective, we analyzed qualitative data from a community-based participatory action research project that included 19 middle- to upper-income African American men (ages 24–49) livin…
Savings Program Participation and Outcomes for Hispanics
Low- and moderate-income Hispanics in the United States have traditionally experienced few institutional incentives for savings and asset development and have instead encountered many disincentives. The authors provide a brief review of the various enticements and deterrents for savings and wealth development for traditionally underrepresented groups, with a focus on Hispanics. One of the most recent savings initiatives for low- and moderate-inco…
The Family Festival Prevention Model
Despite an overall reduction in teenage pregnancy rates in the USA, the decrease for young women of Mexican heritage in the USA has been less significant than the decrease for their White and African-American peers. Furthermore, the availability of teenage pregnancy prevention models that are conceptualised specifically for people of Mexican descent is minimal. Using qualitative focus group data that were triangulated against quantitative survey …
Preparing Children for Success
Many states are implementing asset development strategies to promote postsecondary education for low- to moderate-income families, realizing that limited education is a powerful predictor of poverty, and poverty mediates the likelihood of obtaining postsecondary education. Using demographic and qualitative data collected from two groups of low- to moderate-income parents ( N = 24), this article highlights two programs that promote savings and inc…
Examining Relationships Between Financial Capital and Personal Well-Being
Researchers have traditionally examined economic well-being with income data, yet recent findings indicate positive effects of assets on well-being, independent from income. For this study, baseline data from 904 low-income individuals were used to examine relationships between income, assets, and personal, social, and economic outcomes. Baseline findings indicate that financial assets did not influence perceptions of self-efficacy, economic stra…
Implementing and evaluating a rural community-based sexual abstinence program
Informing both program evaluation and practice research, this paper describes lessons learned during the planning, implementation, and pilot phases of an abstinence education program based in a rural community in a southern state in the USA. Although a number of challenges can emerge in successfully implementing and evaluating such a program in a school and community setting, few publications have focused on bringing these challenges to light and…
It's All About Security to Me
This qualitative study explores financial behavior and expectations in families of origin in addition to youth financial education and savings behaviors. The authors interviewed 14 youths, aged 17 to 19 years, whose families had low incomes, education levels, and savings rates and who participated in a youth-based financial education and dedicated savings program and present key themes and subthemes that were revealed during data analysis. Findin…
Parent-Child Communication Related to Sexual Health
Understanding how parent-child communication occurs within the cultural context is an important consideration in sexual health given that culture plays a major role in the development of various beliefs and attitudes. This qualitative study explores the perceived experiences of first-generation, immigrant rural Latino parents and youths (N = 19) about parent-child communication related to sexual health. Specifically, the article explores their pe…
Intersectional Perspective and Rural Poverty Research
Traditionally, poverty scholarship in the U.S. focuses on the levels, trends, and effects of poverty across social categories broadly defined either by race (minorities) or gender (women) or age (children). An intersectional perspective elucidates the complexity of people's social locations by conceptualizing race, class, gender as simultaneously interacting power relations. In this work, we suggest how an intersectional approach can benefit our …
Multi-Systems Life Course
To better respond to social work's directive of increased sensitivity to cultural and ethnic diversity, it is imperative that theory development includes explicit consideration of the complex experiences of racial and ethnic minorities. For a more advanced and culturally relative practice, the authors posit the development of an encompassing perspective referred to as multi-systems life course (MSLC). Using a case example, this article applies a …
