A Scoping Review of Acculturation Challenges of Immigrants From the Former Soviet Union in the United States From a Life Course Perspective
The United States is home to over a million former Soviet Union (FSU) immigrants, yet literature on their familial dynamics and mental health and well-being is scarce. Following Arksey and O’Malley’s framework, this scoping review synthesizes literature since 1990 about FSU immigrants’ acculturation and well-being across 10 databases. The scoping review included 39 studies. The selected articles revealed three themes: (a) maintaining cultural and…
Navigating Acculturation
This study explores the adaptations of recent immigrants from Central Asia (CA) to the United States. Using qualitative grounded theory analysis of narratives from 42 immigrants, gathered through semi-structured interviews and focus groups, acculturation, life course development, resilience, and intersectionality frameworks were applied to the analysis. Participants included 21 women and 21 men aged 22 to 45. Three major themes emerged. The first…
Against the World
On the eve of World War I, the Hungarian feminist Rosika Schwimmer triumphantly hosted an international congress of women's suffrage activists in Budapest. A decade later, Schwimmer was a stateless refugee without a passport. Her fate was emblematic of the way the world changed after 1914. Prewar enthusiasm for the free movement of goods, ideas, and people around the world shriveled. Across Europe and the United States, support for internationali…
A Service‐Led Pragmatic Evaluation of Family Foundations Targeting the Reduction of Perinatal Parent Mental Health Difficulties and Family Conflict in Australia

Roman Krakovský. State and Society in Communist Czechoslovakia
When Czechoslovakia’s communist government came to power after World War II, its leaders embarked on a project to create a completely new society. In State and Society in Communist Czechoslovakia, Roman Krakovský examines their attempt to revolutionize the world around them. The book focuses on how communism transformed everyday life, particularly the ways the communist state tried to create new structures of time and space. Within this broad top…
Interparental Conflict Across the Early Parenting Period
Current evidence about the prevalence of interparental conflict (IPC) during early parenthood is primarily based on mothers' reports. Drawing upon Australian longitudinal data from 4136 fathers, the aims of the study were to: (a) report on the extent to which fathers report IPC across six biennial time intervals when their children were aged 6-12 months to 10-11 years, (b) identify trajectories of IPC over time and (c) identify postnatal factors …
Family Foundations To promote parent mental health and family functioning during the Covid-19 pandemic in Australia
Evidence-based family-based interventions targeting parent mental health and partner conflict during community-wide crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic are scarce. Family Foundations (FF), a 10-week couple/parent-based intervention targeting parent mental health, conflict and co-parenting was delivered via video-conferencing during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to: (1) explore parents’ and clinicians’ experiences and perceived benefits…
Judith Szapor. Hungarian Women’s Activism in the Wake of the First World War
In the aftermath of the First World War, Hungary experienced a liberal revolution, a Communist coup, foreign invasion, a rightist counterrevolution, and the loss of some two-thirds of its former territory via the Treaty of Trianon. Judith Szapor’s book Hungarian Women’s Activism in the Wake of the First World War: From Rights to Revanche is the first to examine the politicization of Hungarian women during this tumultuous period. Szapor concentrat…
Young Mothers’ and Fathers’ Perceptions of Relationship Violence
Teens and young adults who are pregnant or parenting are important targets for efforts to prevent intimate partner violence (IPV). To intervene appropriately and effectively, we need to fully understand the unique issues and contexts for IPV in this population. This focus group study examined young parents' ( N = 28) perceptions of their relationships, stressors and sources of conflict, forms of IPV, and help-seeking behaviors. We examined data u…
Social Network Implications of Normative School Transitions in Non-Urban School Districts
This article expands research on normative school transitions (NSTs) from elementary to middle school or middle to high school by examining the extent to which they disrupt structures of friendship networks. Social network analysis is used to quantify aspects of connectedness likely relevant to student experiences of social support. Data were drawn from 25 communities followed from sixth to ninth grades. Variability in timing of NSTs permitted mu…
Telling Lies, Making Truth
This chapter analyzes the political function of show trials in Eastern Europe. It argues that while show trials told lies, their primary purpose was to reveal new truths about the Cold War world to their East European audiences. Show trials described a world where the peace-loving socialist East was continually menaced by the imperialist West, which sent spies and saboteurs to wreck its economic development and plotted to destroy it in a nuclear …
The Fight for Peace
This chapter examines the Communist-led peace movement and analyzes its propaganda. Like show trials, the peace movement spread a similar set of messages around the Soviet bloc and throughout the world. Unlike the show trials, peace discourse was primarily concerned with revealing the truth of the warmongering West. For example, peace activists detailed American war crimes in Korea and exposed American racist policies at home. Within Eastern Euro…
Curtain of Lies
'Curtain of Lies' examines the role of truth in the political culture of the Cold War by looking at Eastern Europe during the period from 1948-1956. It examines how actors on both sides of the Iron Curtain tried to delineate the 'truth' of Eastern Europe and how this worked to set the parameters of knowledge about the region

Longitudinal Effects of Universal Preventive Intervention on Prescription Drug Misuse
Objectives. We examined long-term prescription drug misuse outcomes in 3 randomized controlled trials evaluating brief universal preventive interventions conducted during middle school. Methods. In 3 studies, we tested the Iowa Strengthening Families Program (ISFP); evaluated a revised ISFP, the Strengthening Families Program: For Parents and Youth 10–14 plus the school-based Life Skills Training (SFP 10–14 + LST); and examined the SFP 10–14 plus…
Fantastic Truths, Compelling Lies
This article examines the coverage by Radio Free Europe (RFE) of the show trial of Rudolf Slánský in 1952 and contrasts this coverage with documents on the response to the trial within Czechoslovakia. RFE aggressively portrayed the trial as a pack of lies and condemned its anti-Semitism as not authentically Czechoslovak. The response within Czechoslovakia was more much nuanced. Most publicly accepted the trial as valid and acted in ways that unde…
Six‐Year Sustainability of Evidence‐Based Intervention Implementation Quality by Community‐University Partnerships
There is a knowledge gap concerning how well community-based teams fare in implementing evidence-based interventions (EBIs) over many years, a gap that is important to fill because sustained high quality EBI implementation is essential to public health impact. The current study addresses this gap by evaluating data from PROSPER, a community-university intervention partnership model, in the context of a randomized-control trial of 28 communities. …

What Motivates People to Participate More in Community‐based Coalitions
The purpose of this study was to identify potential opportunities for improving member participation in community‐based coalitions. We hypothesized that opportunities for influence and process competence would each foster higher levels of individual member participation. We tested these hypotheses in a sample of 818 members within 79 youth‐oriented coalitions. Opportunities for influence were measured as members' perceptions of an inclusive board…

Gender and the Politics of Difference in the Czech Lands after Munich
This article examines gender politics in the Czech lands after the Munich conference of 1938. It first outlines the social policies of the Second Czechoslovak Republic and the laws it designed to redirect women's participation in the workforce and in public life. Then, it looks at women's own participation in this campaign to “reorient” gender relations, showing how some women hoped to use the new regime to help translate their beliefs about gend…
La politique de la personne
Cet article analyse le genre de la citoyenneté et des droits dans la Tchécoslovaquie entre 1918 et 1945. En 1918 la nouvelle République démocratique a proclamé l'égalité, y compris l'égalité entre hommes et femmes. Aux femmes étaient accordés toute une série de nouveaux droits, le plus important étant le vote ; elles sont devenues, en principe, des citoyennes égales aux citoyens. Néanmoins, il est rapidement devenu évident que cette égalité citoy…
Democracy and Its Limits
On 28 October 1918, a group of Czech nationalists stood on the steps of the Obecni Dům (Municipal House) in Prague and proclaimed their independence from the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, allying themselves with the new state of Czechoslovakia. Their declaration marked the beginning of a new era in the Czech lands, one in which Czechs, as the majority nation, hoped to redefine the terms of political discourse. The new Czechoslovak Republic, its Czec…
