Beyond the Bell: Breadth and Intensity of After-School Activities and Academic Functioning Among Latino Adolescents
A preponderance of research suggests that adolescents’ participation in structured after-school activities is linked to academic benefits, yet less is known about the educational effects of different types of after-school engagement. This mixed methods, two-wave longitudinal study examined associations between school-, community-, and home-based after-school activities and academic outcomes among Latino adolescents. The quantitative sample includ…
The Role of Parent–Adolescent Communication Among Youth Exposed to Neighborhood Violence in Rural Mexico
This study examines the potential moderating effects of mother– and father–adolescent communication on the relations between community violence exposure (i.e., witnessing violence and personal victimization), neighborhood-based sexual harassment, and adolescents’ depressive and posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms. The sample included 200 poor, rural adolescents ( M age = 14.93, SD = 1.40), the majority of whom were girls (58%) from two public …

Emotionally numb: Desensitization to community violence exposure among urban youth
Community violence exposure (CVE) is associated with numerous psychosocial outcomes among youth. Although linear, cumulative effects models have typically been used to describe these relations, emerging evidence suggests the presence of curvilinear associations that may represent a pattern of emotional desensitization among youth exposed to chronic community violence. This study uses longitudinal data to investigate relations between CVE and both…
Silent and Infertile: An Intersectional Analysis of the Experiences of Socioeconomically Diverse African American Women With Infertility
To date, the preponderance of research on infertility in the United States has been conducted with affluent, White couples seeking advanced medical interventions. However, racial/ethnic minorities are equally, if not more, likely to experience infertility in the United States. Drawing on qualitative interviews with 50 African American women of different socioeconomic backgrounds, our study uses an intersectional framework to explore the experienc…
Investigating the immigrant paradox and Latino adolescents’ academic attitudes
This study investigates the immigrant paradox, whereby early generation immigrant youth exhibit more positive developmental outcomes than their later generation peers. Among our sample of Latino 9th graders (n 212) residing in impoverished, urban cities, we examine whether the immigrant paradox exists with regard to Latino adolescents’ educational values and school effort and whether cultural values serve as a protective factor for Latino youth. …
Latino Adolescents' Community Violence Exposure: After‐school Activities and Familismo as Risk and Protective Factors
Low‐income, urban adolescents are exposed to extremely high rates of witnessing and being victimized by community violence. Such violence exposure presents serious implications for youth's development and psychological well‐being. In a sample of 223 ninth‐grade Latino adolescents, we examine: (1) what types of after‐school activity participation increase or reduce adolescents' risk for violence exposure and (2) the role of the cultural value of f…
