Testing the factor structure of a scale to assess african american acculturation: A Confirmatory Factor Analysis
Research has pointed to the important role that acculturation plays in understanding a range of physical health behaviors as well as psychological functioning, but only a few studies have attempted to establish reliable and valid measures of African American acculturation. The scale developed by Snowden and Hines (1999) to assess African American acculturation provided an interesting line of inquiry for the present study because no further valida…

Mentoring adolescent foster youth: Promoting resilience during developmental transitions
The current exploratory study used quantitative and qualitative data from an evaluation of the ‘Advocates to Successful Transition to Independence’ programme, a mentoring programme designed to train mentors to assist older adolescent foster youth in acquiring skills and resources needed for successful transition out of foster care and into adulthood. The study was conducted in two phases over 2 years. Quantitative methods were used to describe ch…

Former Foster Youth Attending College: Resilience and the Transition to Young Adulthood
The primary purpose of this study was to further research and theory development in the area of risk and resilience by exploring factors associated with academic success among former foster youth--a group at high risk for developmental failure. Using data obtained from in-depth qualitative interviews with 14 former foster youth currently attending a 4-year university, the study described in this article explored factors related to their academic …

Face-to-Face versus Telephone Interviews: Using Cognitive Methods to Assess Alcohol Survey Questions
This research compares retrieval strategies and comprehension problems encountered by 30 heavier drinking respondents using protocol analysis on three alcohol use items: In the last 12 months, maximum quantity consumed in one day, frequency of drinking only one to two drinks, and frequency of drunkenness. We compare two modes of administering the questionnaire: face-to-face and telephone interviews. Results indicate that respondents in both modes…
A Scale to Assess African American Acculturation
This study examined an acculturation scale designed for use in the African American population. Consisting of 10 items presented in Likert-scale format, the scale asked about: race-related cultural and media preferences (music, radio, television); racial balance in contexts of social interaction (friends, church congregation, parties, neighborhoods); race-related attitudes (relying on relatives for help, desirability of interracial marriage); and…
Acculturation, alcohol consumption, and Aids-related risky sexual behavior among African American men
The present study examined the relationship between acculturation, alcohol consumption, and AIDS-related risky sexual behavior in a national probability sample of 338 African American men. Results indicated that acculturation did serve as an indicator of AIDS-related risk: Men at low and moderate levels of acculturation were more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior than were their more highly acculturated counterparts. In addition, interact…
Divorce-Related Transitions, Adolescent Development, and the Role of the Parent-Child Relationship: A Review of the Literature
For the adolescent undergoing multiple developmental changes, divorce and its related transitions present additional challenges, promoting growth for some and constituting developmental vulnerabilities for others. A review of the literature on adolescent development, family relationships, and the impact of divorce on adolescents reveals that adolescents experience divorce differently than younger children and that a positive parent-adolescent rel…
Targeting children at risk through adult health and social services: An analysis of family and environmental risk factors
Linking qualitative and quantitative methods in cross‐cultural survey research: Techniques from cognitive science
Survey research with diverse cultural and ethnic minority groups is a complex and challenging endeavor that confronts the researcher with problems related to linguistic and conceptual equivalence and measurement as well as problems related to difficulties that respondents have with the sociocultural dimensions of the survey/interview process. One way to improve the quality of cross‐cultural surveys and to insure that the findings are culturally r…
Early life experiences and residential stability: A ten-year perspective on sheltered care
The effects of early family losses and disruptions on the ability of seriously mentally disabled individuals to achieve stable living arrangements were investigated. Factors found to predict instability were early losses, early disruptions, psychological symptoms, and youth. Among factors found to predict stability were increased age and a diagnosis of schizophrenia
Factors Related to Sex Differences in Suicidal Behavior among Black Youth: Implications for Intervention and Research
A review of suicidal behavior among Black youth, IS to 24 years of age, indicates significant differences between males and females in rates and patterns of attempted and completed suicide. The heuristic value of three major theories of suicide is discussed in terms of Black youth suicidal patterns. Methodological issues of the validity and reliability of suicide statistics for Black youth are also examined. Socioculturalfactors contributing to s…
