We evaluated district mental health data from a convenience sample of 814 students in grades 5-12 special education to identify risk for mental health symptoms, violence exposure, and substance use. School social workers p…
Art and archives in the gallery
Artists have long been interested in the archival process. Their work examining and critiquing archives and archival concepts has attracted considerable scholarly attention; however, little attention has been paid to the perspectives of archivists, focusing instead on those of artists themselves, as well as critical theorists. This article focuses on how archivists consider and harness archives in their practice, examining their use of archives i…

The role of resilience and gender
Resilience-building assets may partially mediate the effect of traumatic stress on GPA among females. Resilience initiatives, especially among minoritized female students, may protect against the effect of trauma on academics. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
Implementing a School-Based, Trauma-Informed Resilience Curriculum for Parents
“Families OverComing Under Stress” (FOCUS) Resilience Curriculum for Parents (FRC-P) is a trauma-informed group parenting program adapted for school social workers to deliver to parents of racial/ethnic minority urban public schoolchildren, an under-researched group of parents in the literature. The objective was to describe implementation of the pilot FRC-P in terms of possible effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptability. Social workers delive…
Evaluating the KidCope for Children in Active Duty Military Families
A Trauma-Informed, Family-Centered, Virtual Home Visiting Program for Young Children
Military-connected families face many challenges associated with military life transitions, including deployment separations. We report on a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of Families OverComing Under Stress-Early Childhood (FOCUS-EC) delivered through an in-home, virtual telehealth platform. FOCUS-EC is a trauma-informed, family-centered preventive intervention designed to promote family resilience and well-being. Military-…
Leveraging a public–public partnership in Los Angeles County to address Covid-19 for children, youth, and families in underresourced communities
There is growing concern about the mental health and social impact of COVID-19 on underresourced children, youth, and families given widespread social disruption, school closures, economic impact, and loss of lives. In this commentary we describe how an existing public-public partnership between a large county mental health department and a state university responded to COVID-19. This partnership, originally designed to address workforce needs, r…
The Impact of Deployment on Parental, Family and Child Adjustment in Military Families
Accumulation of Risk and Promotive Factors Among Young Children in US Military Families
In the families of the new cohort of war veterans now entering the civilian population in the United States are over two million young children (Cozza, Haskins & Lerner, 2013; Institute of Medicine, 2013). Several noteworthy studies have shown that children exposed to separation from a parent due to combat‐related deployment are at elevated risk for a variety of negative consequences (Lester & Flake, 2013). Cozza et al. (2013) argue that existing…
Focus for Early Childhood
Spouse Psychological Well-Being
Understanding predictors of military spouse psychosocial vulnerability informs efforts to assess, identify, and support at-risk spouses and families. In this analysis we test the effects of family stress and strain on military spouse psychological health, using a sample of female civilian spouses (n=161). Regression findings confirm expectations of the significant contribution of family stressors, strain, and resources in explaining variation in …
Evaluation of a Family-Centered Prevention Intervention for Military Children and Families Facing Wartime Deployments
Objectives. We evaluated the Families OverComing Under Stress program, which provides resiliency training designed to enhance family psychological health in US military families affected by combat- and deployment-related stress. Methods. We performed a secondary analysis of Families OverComing Under Stress program evaluation data that was collected between July 2008 and February 2010 at 11 military installations in the United States and Japan.

A Lifetime of Low-Risk Behaviors Among HIV-Positive Latinas in Los Angeles
Stress Biomarkers as Outcomes for HIV+ Prevention
Mothers living with HIV (MLH) are at high risk for acute and chronic stress, given challenges related to their HIV status, ethnicity, economic and urban living conditions. Biomarkers combined into a composite index show promise in quantifying psychosocial stress in healthy people, but have not yet been examined among MLH. According, we examined potential biomarker correlates of stress [cortisol and catecholamines from home-collected urine and bas…
Who is doing well? A typology of newly homeless adolescents
There is growing evidence to support developing new typologies for homeless adolescents. Current typologies focus on the risks associated with being homeless, with less consideration of the positive attributes of homeless adolescents. The authors examined both risk and protective factors in a sample of newly homeless adolescents. Using cluster analysis techniques, they identified three distinct clusters of newly homeless adolescents: those who ar…
The longitudinal impact of HIV+ parents' drug use on their adolescent children
The impact of parental substance use on the emotional and behavioral adjustment of their adolescent children was examined over 5 years. A representative sample of 220 parents with HIV (PWH) and 330 adolescent children in New York City were repeatedly assessed. Some parents never used marijuana or hard drugs over the 5 years (nonusers). Among those who were users, substance use varied over time. PWH who used substances during a specific 3-month pe…
Psychosocial predictors of somatic symptoms in adolescents of parents with HIV
The objective of this study was to identify salient parent and adolescent psychosocial factors related to somatic symptoms in adolescents. As part of a larger intervention study conducted in New York, 409 adolescents were recruited from 269 parents with HIV. A longitudinal model predicted adolescent somatization scores six years after baseline assessment. Adolescent somatic symptoms were assessed at baseline and at 3-month intervals for the first…
Current Practice of Family-Based Interventions for Child Traumatic Stress
Lessons Learned from “Integrating” Intensive Family-based Interventions into Medical Care Settings for Mothers Living with HIV/Aids and their Adolescent Children
Projecting Canada
Within the field of Canadian historical film studies-a terrain frequently on the periphery of scholarly interest-the National Film Board of Canada has nevertheless found itself the focus of a considerable amount of attention.Given that its undeniable presence seems permanently embedded in the cultural fabric of the nation, it should perhaps come as no surprise that as a topic of study, it boasts what is perhaps the most developed body of scholarl…
Childbearing Among Daughters of Parents With HIV
Rates and predictors of anxiety and depressive disorders in adolescents of parents with HIV
Children with a parent with HIV (PWH) are expected to be at increased risk for anxiety and depressive disorders because of the potential impact of parental HIV illness and death. PWH and their adolescent children were initially recruited in the context of a randomized intervention trial, with more than 60% of adolescents experiencing death of a parent prior to assessment. Using the Composite International Diagnostic Interview, lifetime and recent…
Families living with HIV
Given the historical emergence of the AIDS epidemic first among gay men in the developed world, HIV interventions have primarily focused on individuals rather than families. Typically not part of traditional family structures, HIV-positive gay men in Europe and the US lived primarily in societies providing essential infrastructure for survival needs that highly value individual justice and freedom. Interventions were thus designed to focus on at-…
