This study interrogates the role of cultural competency, the dominant medical knowledge regime, by examining how it intellectualizes race, upholds medical hierarchies, and reproduces racial health inequities. • We explore medical trainees' perceptions of cultural competency curricula, race and racial bias training, and their impact on clinical interactions during the COVID-19 pandemic. • We draw on Bonilla-Silva and Peoples' theoretical framing o…
Maternal and Child Health Pipeline Training Programs
The MCHPTPs not only increase the diversity of the MCH workforce, they also actively prepare the next generation of MCH leaders. The intentional connection of undergraduates to the infrastructure and continuum of MCH training, underscores the comprehensive impact of this funding
MCH Pipeline Training Program
Introduction Efforts to recruit and retain diverse Maternal and Child Health (MCH) professionals are of paramount public health significance. Culturally congruent mentorship strategies are key to supporting a successful transition from undergraduate to graduate studies. Methods This mixed-method study evaluated a culturally congruent mentorship training used by one of the MCH Pipeline Training programs and described mentorship practices and lesso…
HRSA-Funded MCH Pipeline Training Program
The research productivity of students in the six MCHPTPs is strongly indicative of the success of integrating MCH research mentoring into MCH didactic training. The development of a diverse and robust MCH mentorship program promotes and strengthens research activities in areas of high priority such as addressing health disparities in MCH morbidity and mortality in the U.S
Success of Maternal and Child Health Pipeline Training Programs
The study highlights successes in recruiting from underrepresented minorities, particularly Black/African Americans and first-time college goers in the family into the MCH Pipeline Training Programs. Programs were successful in furthering academic and career development for most trainees. Attitudes towards MCH and the training programs were overwhelmingly positive. Continued support of these programs is critical in addressing health disparities a…
The Association between Caregiver Substance Abuse and Mental Health Problems and Outcomes for Trauma-Exposed Youth
Mentoring the mentors of students from diverse backgrounds for research
This article defines and discusses 6 beliefs, attitudes, and practices that can erode or undermine self-esteem and self confidence in student-scholars from underrepresented and marginalized groups in academic settings. Specifically, the beliefs and practices are reactions to implicit bias, color blindness, imposter syndrome, internalized racism, stereotype threat, and code-switching. Mentors need to know how to discuss these reactions because the…
Research accountability groups and mentoring minutes
Efforts to recruit and retain public health researchers should include scholars that reflect the demographics of the United States. Innovative research mentoring programs that integrate one-to-one and small group learning experiences may result in improved engagement and research productivity among graduate school scholars from underrepresented populations in public health research fields. This study analyzed leadership characteristics and resear…
Establishing the foundation
This issue is a call for more culturally congruent mentorship training, support, and research on the effectiveness of mentoring strategies. The role of mentoring is fundamental to professional growth and success. Importantly, one size does not fit all. A repertoire of mentoring strategies and formats is necessary to include the talent, skills, and contributions of the next generation of diverse researchers in public health and biomedical sciences…
Maternal Sociodemographic Characteristics, Experiences and Health Behaviors Associated with Postpartum Care Utilization
Evaluating Maternal and Child Health and Leadership Competencies of Emerging MCH Leaders
Maternal Characteristics Associated With Child Behavior Reports in Head Start Settings
The objective of this study was to examine the association between maternal characteristics and mother‐rated child behavior reports for 435 predominately African American children enrolled in urban Head Start programs. Mothers who were adolescents at the time of their child's birth reported more favorable child behaviors compared with those who were not adolescents at childbirth. Less favorable ratings of child behavior scores were observed for m…
Links between child and adolescent trauma exposure and service use histories in a national clinic-referred sample
The National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) is a federally funded child mental health service initiative designed to raise the standard of care and increase access to evidence-based services for traumatized children and their families across the United States. As part of the quality improvement goal, a Core Data Set (CDS) was established to standardize data collection and examine treatment outcomes across participating centers. This paper…
Supporting the Need for an Integrated System of Care for Youth with Co‐occurring Traumatic Stress and Substance Abuse Problems
Adolescents are at high risk for violence exposure and initiation of drug use. Co‐occurring substance use and trauma exposure are associated with increased risk of mental health disorders, school underachievement, and involvement with multiple systems of care. Coordination and integration of systems of care are of utmost importance for these vulnerable youth. This study delineates the negative sequelae and increased service utilization patterns o…

Using Panda (Preventing the Abuse of Tobacco, Narcotics, Drugs, and Alcohol) in a Baltimore City Head Start Setting
This preliminary study describes an evaluation of a substance abuse prevention curriculum, the Preventing the Abuse of Tobacco, Narcotics, Drugs, and Alcohol (PANDA) taught to African American Head Start pupils. Protective factors against drug use include positive self-concept. Thus, this study used a measure of self-concept to begin to evaluate the effectiveness of the PANDA curriculum. A prospective cohort design with examiners masked to pre-an…
