The dyadic link between color-evasiveness and racial socialization among Black–White interracial parents.
The Right to Truth
Nearly a decade after a national peace education policy and negotiations to end Colombia’s armed conflict, this study uses multilevel, mixed-effects logistic regression to examine the ways in which students’ proximity to the conflict, perceptions of curriculum, and classroom context predict young people’s attitudes toward learning about conflict, peace, and justice in Colombia. We find that students who self-identify as victims or relatives of vi…
Fatal Police Shootings of Victims with Mental Health Crises
“Your son needs help … and we're gonna help him”
In the Moment I Wanted to Kill Myself, and Then After I Didn't
Research on planning, method choice, and method substitution in adolescents' suicide attempts is limited. We conducted in-depth interviews with 20 adolescents following their suicide attempt to learn the extent to which the attempt was planned, why they used the method they did, and whether they would have substituted another method if the one they used had been unavailable. Applied Thematic Analysis was used to identify codes and develop themes.…
Consensus-Driven Priorities for Firearm Injury Education Among Medical Professionals
PURPOSE: Firearm injury is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. However, many medical professionals currently receive minimal or no education on firearm injury or its prevention. The authors sought to convene a diverse group of national experts in firearm injury epidemiology, injury prevention, and medical education to develop consensus on priorities to inform the creation of learning objectives and curricula for firea…

Validating the National Violent Death Reporting System as a Source of Data on Fatal Shootings of Civilians by Law Enforcement Officers
Objectives. To evaluate the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) as a surveillance system for fatal shootings of civilians by law enforcement in the United States. Methods. We cross-linked individual-level mortality data from the 2015 NVDRS and 5 open-source data sets ( FatalEncounters.org , Mapping Police Violence, the Guardian’s “The Counted,” Gun Violence Archive, and The Washington Post’s “Fatal Force Database”). Using the comprehe…

Measurement Invariance in Comparing Attitudes Toward Immigrants Among Youth Across Europe in 1999 and 2009
This study applies the alignment method, a technique for assessing measurement equivalence across many groups, to the analysis of adolescents’ support for immigrants’ rights in a pooled data set from the 1999 International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) Civic Education Study and the 2009 IEA International Civics and Citizenship Education Study. We examined measurement invariance across 92 groups (country by cohort…

Homicides by Police
Objective. To evaluate the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) as a surveillance system for homicides by law enforcement officers. Methods. We assessed sensitivity and positive predictive value of the NVDRS “type of death” variable against our study count of homicides by police, which we derived from NVDRS coded and narrative data for states participating in NVDRS 2005 to 2012. We compared state counts of police homicides from NVDRS, …

Nationalism and Support for Immigrants' Rights Among Adolescents in 25 Countries
Adolescents' attitudes toward immigrants develop in tandem with their sense of national identity. In this article we identify factors that influence restrictive views of nationalism and opposition or support for immigrants' rights during young people's formative years, among the generation that comprises today's young adults. Data were analyzed from 77,000 native-born 14-year-olds from 25 countries surveyed in the IEA Civic Education Study of 199…
Method Choice in Nonfatal Self-Harm as a Predictor of Subsequent Episodes of Self-Harm and Suicide
Objectives. We examined time-varying and time-invariant characteristics of nonfatal intentional self-harm episodes in relation to subsequent episodes of self-harm and suicide. Methods. We conducted a follow-up cohort study through 2007 of 3600 patients discharged from hospitals in New Jersey with a primary diagnosis of intentional self-harm in 2003. We determined repetition of self-harm from hospital records and suicide from state registers. Resu…
Students' Conceptual Knowledge and Process Skills in Civic Education
In 2 related studies framed by social constructivism theory, the authors explored a fine-grained analysis of adolescents' civic conceptual knowledge and skills and investigated them in relation to factors such as teachers' qualifications and students' classroom experiences. In Study 1 (with about 2,800 U.S. students), the authors identified 4 cognitive attributes (dimensions) underlying the test items of the International Association for the Eval…
Veterans and Suicide
Objectives. We assessed the risk of suicide among veterans compared with nonveterans. Methods. Cox proportional hazards models estimated the relative risk of suicide, by self-reported veteran status, among 500 822 adult male participants in the National Death Index (NDI)–linked National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), a nationally representative cohort study. Results. A total of 482 male veterans died by suicide during 1 837 886 person-years of f…
A Call to Link Data to Answer Pressing Questions About Suicide Risk Among Veterans
OUR PAPER IN THE CURRENT issue of Journal1 makes the case that male veterans of conflicts prior to Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) have an age- and race-adjusted suicide risk that is modestly, but not significantly, higher than risk among male nonveterans. Our estimate is consistent with findings from prior military cohort studies2–6 but not with findings from Kaplan et al. 2007,7 who, using the same underlying da…
Collaborative Learning and Technology Skills Development
Fostering young people’s support for participatory human rights through their developmental niches
The last 6 decades of empirical research on civic engagement among young people living in democracies and of the recognition of international human rights have seen the achievement of many milestones. This article focuses on some connections between these 2 areas and examines the ways in which everyday settings such as neighborhoods and the schools that exist within them can foster support for human rights (especially the practice of participator…
A Multi-Dimensional Exploration of Teachers' Beliefs About Civic Education in Australia, England, and the United States
Teachers' beliefs influence their behaviors in classrooms and their organization of classes, each of which can greatly impact student learning. This study focuses on four categories of teachers' beliefs—beliefs about subject, about learners and learning, about teaching, and about self-efficacy—and their potential to shape civic education. More specifically, this study takes a comparative approach in examining how national policies in Australia, E…

How Adolescents in 27 Countries Understand, Support, and Practice Human Rights
An understanding of human rights among young people forms a foundation for future support and practice of rights. We have used data from 88,000 14‐year‐olds surveyed in the 1999 International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) Civic Education Study to examine country differences in students' knowledge pertaining to human rights compared with other forms of civic knowledge, and in students' attitudes toward promoting a…
