Provider and Parent Perspectives on Pediatric Screening for Research on Early Life Adversity
Growing evidence links early life adversity (ELA), including Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and unpredictability, to disrupted health and development. This knowledge has led to increased screening for ELA in primary care settings and provided new opportunities to further research associations between ELA and health. It is imperative to ensure that research on ELA and ELA screening is intentionally inclusive of populations traditionally unde…
Discrimination and adverse birth outcomes among Latina women: The protective role of social support
Findings implicate discrimination as an important risk factor for adverse birth outcomes among women of Latina/Hispanic descent. Further policies, practice, and research on reducing discrimination and enhancing factors that promote resilience such as social support are needed to facilitate healthy births among Latina/Hispanic women, mitigate intergenerational harm of discrimination-related stress, and advance health equity at birth and across the…
Pediatric Aces assessment within a collaborative practice model: Implications for health equity
It is now well understood that exposure to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) is negatively linked to health and well-being across the lifespan. In an effort to disrupt ACEs exposure and its effects, there is a nationwide movement to screen for ACEs in primary care, despite a lack of well-established guidelines for assessing and responding to risk within routine care. Additionally, developing culturally responsive models of ACEs assessment is i…
Political climate and sense of belonging in higher education: Latina undergraduates and mental health
Co‐Occurring Youth Profiles of Adverse Childhood Experiences and Protective Factors: Associations with Health, Resilience, and Racial Disparities
It is important to understand racial/ethnic differences in adverse childhood experiences ( ACE s), given their relationship to long‐term physical and mental health, and the public health cost of the significant disparities that exist. Moreover, in order to inform interventions and promote resilience, it is critical to examine protective factors that mitigate the relationship between adversity and poor health. The current study utilized latent tra…
The influence of flood exposure and subsequent stressors on youth social-emotional health
Most disaster mental health research focuses on the relationship between disaster exposure and distress, often neglecting its influence on social-emotional health, despite implications for resilience and well-being after the disaster. Following multiple floods in Texas, a sample of 486 youth aged 10-19 years old (M = 13.74 years, SD = 2.57; 52.9% male) completed measures of disaster exposure, life stressors since the disaster, and social-emotiona…
The outbreak that was always here: Racial trauma in the context of Covid-19 and implications for mental health providers
The present commentary offers a timely exploration of the racial trauma experienced by Asian, Black, and Latinx communities as it relates to COVID-19. Instances of individual, cultural, and structural racism and implications for mental health are discussed. Evidence-based strategies are identified for mental health professionals in order to support healing and mitigate the risk of further racial traumas. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, al…
Trauma‐Responsive Care in a Pediatric Setting: Feasibility and Acceptability of Screening for Adverse Childhood Experiences
Highlights This study focused on implementation processes, and facilitators and barriers to ACEs screenings. There was high feasibility and acceptability of ACEs screenings at infants’ pediatric visits. Almost half of families at well‐child pediatric visits indicated positive for ACEs. A majority of families with ACEs accepted prevention services in the pediatric setting. Wellness navigators provided a cultural bridge and service access in integr…
Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea: Refugee Youth in Resettlement
The global refugee crisis has reached unprecedented levels in scale and severity. Refugee youth face adversities at every phase of their experience; however, compared to premigration and migration, far less is understood about postmigration factors impacting well‐being. An overemphasis on traumatic stress has led to a gap in the research on resilience, protective, and promotive factors during resettlement. In contrast to a deficit model, the soci…
A novel examination of exposure patterns and posttraumatic stress after a university mass murder
Results point to the differential impact of exposure categories, and provide empirical evidence for distinguishing among auditory, visual, and interpersonal exposures to events of mass violence on college campuses. Clinical implications suggest that visual and interpersonal exposure may warrant targeted efforts following mass violence. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved)
Linking profiles of neighborhood elements to health and related outcomes among children across the United States
Using Community-Based Participatory Research and Human-Centered Design to Address Violence-Related Health Disparities Among Latino/a Youth
High rates of exposure to violence and other adversities among Latino/a youth contribute to health disparities. The current article addresses the ways in which community-based participatory research (CBPR) and human-centered design (HCD) can help engage communities in dialogue and action. We present a project exemplifying how community forums, with researchers, practitioners, and key stakeholders, including youths and parents, integrated HCD stra…
Midlife Eriksonian psychosocial development: Setting the stage for late-life cognitive and emotional health
Erikson's (1950) model of adult psychosocial development outlines the significance of successful involvement within one's relationships, work, and community for healthy aging. He theorized that the consequences of not meeting developmental challenges included stagnation and emotional despair. Drawing on this model, the present study uses prospective longitudinal data to examine how the quality of assessed Eriksonian psychosocial development in mi…
Empathic Accuracy and Aggression in Couples: Individual and Dyadic Links
The authors examined links between intimate partner aggression and empathic accuracy-how accurately partners can read one another's emotions-during highly affective moments from couples' (N = 109) video recall of laboratory-based discussions of upsetting events. Less empathic accuracy between partners was generally related to higher levels of aggression by both partners. More specific patterns emerged based on the type of aggression and emotion b…
