Individual and Organizational Contributions to Educator Stress: The Roles of Organizational Health and Self‐Invalidation
Chronic stress among educators is associated with burnout, absenteeism, and turnover. Identification of the contributors to educator stress is critical to guide prevention and intervention efforts. However, despite stress being conceptualized as a complex and dynamic process, the literature has generally focused on cross‐sectional studies with inadequate attention to the interaction between individual and organizational factors. The biosocial mod…
The impact of violence exposure and posttraumatic stress on the academic functioning of Latine middle school students: The moderating role of language use
Latine youth are at an increased risk of exposure to stress and trauma, and face significant educational inequities and cultural stressors. Thus, the current cross-sectional survey examined the role of acculturation based on language use as a moderator in the relationship between traumatic stress and academic functioning among immigrant and U.S. born Latine youth in one community middle school (N = 130). We examined language use as a moderator in…

Caregiver Factors in Children’s Trauma Treatment: A Review of the Literature
The feasibility and promise of Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Training with teachers and school personnel in high‐poverty schools
This study examined the feasibility and promise of using virtual Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Training (DBT‐ST) with educators. DBT‐ST was offered to 39 educators (89% female, mean age 46.45) in one high‐poverty school district during the COVID‐19 pandemic using a pre–post design. Educators attended five of eight groups (Mode = 8) and there were statistically significant decreases in stress ( p = .001, r rb = −.51) and dysfunctional coping…
The Psychological, Academic, and Economic Impact of Covid-19 on College Students in the Epicenter of the Pandemic
Initial research has indicated that college students have experienced numerous stressors as a result of the pandemic. The current investigation enrolled the largest and most diverse sample of college students to date ( N = 4714) from universities in New York (NY) and New Jersey (NJ), the epicenter of the North American pandemic in Spring 2020. We described the impact on the psychological, academic, and financial health of college students who wer…
Concurrent Planning: Understanding the Placement Experiences of Resource Families
Concurrent planning is a process by which all options for permanency are considered simultaneously for children in foster care. Children are placed with caregivers (resource parents) who are open to adoption if reunification with birth parents does not occur. This quantitative study explored resource parents’ perceptions of the concurrent planning process via surveys at two time points. Participants included resource parents of 77 infants assesse…
Trauma in Schools: An Examination of Trauma Screening and Linkage to Behavioral Health Care in School‐Based Health Centers
BACKGROUND: This study examined trauma screening and behavioral health linkage rates in school-based health centers (SBHCs). METHODS: Participants included 4161 English- and Spanish-speaking patients between the ages of 12 and 22 across 8 urban SBHCs 2 years. Screening rates at medical visits and linkage to additional behavioral health screening and services were assessed via electronic medical records and a chart audit. RESULTS: Medical provider…
Promoting Values of Education in Latino Mother-Adolescent Discussions about Conflict and Sexuality
Latina/o Sexualities: Probing Powers, Passions, Practices, and Policies
Latina/os are currently the largest minority population in the United States. They are also one of the fastest growing. Yet, we have very limited research and understanding of their sexualities. Instead, stereotypical images flourish even though scholars have challenged the validity and narrowness of these images and the lack of attention to the larger social context. Gathering the latest empirical work in the social and behavioral sciences, this…

Academic Achievement Among Immigrant and U.S.‐Born Latino Adolescents: Associations With Cultural, Family, and Acculturation Factors
This study examined proximal risk and protective factors that contribute to academic achievement among 130 Latino students. Participating students were 56.2% female and 35.3% foreign‐born (mean age = 11.38, standard deviation = .59). Acculturative stress, immigrant status, child gender, parental monitoring, traditional cultural values, mainstream values, and English language proficiency were explored in relation to academic achievement. Higher le…
Reinforcement Sensitivity and Risk for Psychopathology Following Exposure to Violence: A Vulnerability-Specificity Model in Latino Youth
Relative impact of violence exposure and immigrant stressors on Latino youth psychopathology
Latino youth in a low‐income urban community are at high risk of exposure to violence. Given an accumulation of factors before, during, and after migration, immigrant youth might be at increased risk of exposure to violence and other relevant stressors (e.g., acculturation stress, language proficiency, acculturation/enculturation, and parental separations). Utilizing a short‐term longitudinal design, we assessed exposure to violence and immigrant…
Evidence-Based Mental Health Programs in Schools: Barriers and Facilitators of Successful Implementation
Although schools can improve children's access to mental health services, not all school-based providers are able to successfully deliver evidence-based practices. Indeed, even when school clinicians are trained in evidence-based practices (EBP), the training does not necessarily result in the implementation of those practices. This study explores factors that influence implementation of a particular EBP, Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Tra…
Low‐Income Latina Mothers' Expectations for Their Pregnant Daughters' Autonomy and Interdependence
Forty‐five pregnant Latina adolescents and their mothers (23 English‐speaking, 22 Spanish‐speaking) were videotaped conversing about feelings and plans related to the adolescent's pregnancy. The prevalence of the mothers' messages about the daughter's reliance on the family unit (interdependence) and the daughter's self‐sufficiency (autonomy) were related to adolescents' reported and observed feelings about their pregnancies, pending motherhood c…
Does Stigma Keep Poor Young Immigrant and U.S.-Born Black and Latina Women From Seeking Mental Health Care?
OBJECTIVE: This study examined the extent to which stigma-related concerns about mental health care account for the underuse of mental health services among low-income immigrant and U.S.-born black and Latina women. METHODS: Participants included 15,383 low-income women screened for depression in county entitlement services who were asked about barriers to care, stigma-related concerns, and whether they wanted or were getting mental health care. …
The Validity of Observational Measures in Detecting Optimal Maternal Communication Styles: Evidence from European Americans and Latinos
This study examined the sensitivity of an observational coding system for assessing positive and negative maternal behaviors of Latino and European American mothers toward their adolescent children. Ninety Latino (54 Spanish speaking and 35 English speaking) and 20 European American mother–adolescent dyads participated in an observational study of conversations about sexuality, AIDS, and conflicts. Associations were examined between observed mate…
School Connectedness, Mental Health, and Well-Being of Adolescent Mothers
In this article, the authors describe recent research on risk factors associated with adolescent mothers' mental health outcomes. They outline the consequences associated with three major risk factors that impact the teen mother's adjustment to her new parental role: lack of social support, caregiver stress, and feelings of low self-efficacy. The article concludes with specific recommendations in how school personnel can address the mental health…
Early Puberty, Peer Victimization, and Internalizing Symptoms in Ethnic Minority Adolescents
One thousand twenty-four African American and Latino sixth graders participated in a study examining the moderating role of pubertal development on the relation between peer victimization and adolescent self-worth, depressed mood, and physical symptoms using peer and self-reported victimization. It was hypothesized that early-maturing girls who were victimized would experience heightened internalized distress. Among boys, two competing hypotheses…
