The risk of school dropout among youth in formal and informal kinship foster care
Does Sharing Activities With Parents Protect African American Adolescents From Low Self-Esteem When Bullied
Making a way out of no way
Exploring self‐care practices of African American informal kinship caregivers
African American caregivers providing informal kinship care are vulnerable to chronic stress. Research has indicated stress increases individuals' risk for many adverse physical and mental health outcomes, including cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease and depression. Given the adverse outcomes related to stress, identifying mechanisms to help these caregivers lower and manage their stress is critical to their overall health and well-being…
Future Orientation as a Moderator of Bullying Victimization and School Outcomes
Bullying victimization remains to be a public health concern in the United States, especially among sexual and ethnic minority youth. However, few studies have examined how school outcomes might be associated with bullying victimization among heterosexual and sexual minority African American youth and the factors that may attenuate that relationship. To address this gap, this study surveyed 462 heterosexual and 102 sexual minority African America…
Examination of risky truancy behaviors and gender differences among elementary school children
There has been a dramatic increase in the rate of truancy cases throughout the United States, and despite truancy reduction efforts, truancy rates remained constant. Truancy is frequently associated with youth's high-risk behaviors and negative academic and life outcomes. Given the negative impact of truancy, conducting research on school attendance is critical to the success of youth over the life course. The current study examined a sample of 2…
Academic Trajectories of Children in Formal and Informal Kinship Care
The academic achievement places children on a positive trajectory for their lifespan. The aim of this study was to examine the academic trajectories of children in out-of-home care (OOCH) and whether kinship care has a protective effect relative to nonkin foster care. The sample analyzed for this study consists of 519,306 racially diverse youth in North Carolina schools 8 to 11 years old in the school year 2009–2010 (e.g., 27% African American, 1…
Social-ecological pathways to school motivation and future orientation of African American adolescents in Chicago
Guided by the social-ecological perspective, this study aims to explore how various social climates are associated with school motivation and the future orientation of 597 African American adolescents. We examined the direct and indirect effects of parent factors and school climate on future orientation through school motivation. School motivation was positively associated with a future orientation. Perceived parental expectations and teacher sup…
Psychosocial factors and behavioral health outcomes among children in Foster and Kinship care
Assessing Child Welfare Agency Practices and Attitudes that Affect Father Engagement
The importance of fathers' involvement in their children's lives is irrefutable. Supportive, warm, and positive involvement of fathers leads to children being well-adjusted. Indeed, involved fathers positively influence their children's cognitive ability, social behavior, psychological well-being, and educational achievement. For children in foster care, when fathers are involved they have significantly shorter stays in foster care than those who…
Social media as a vector for youth violence
Examining maternal and paternal involvement as promotive factors of competence in African American children in informal kinship care
Fathers' Perspectives on Supports and Barriers That Affect Their Fatherhood Role
This qualitative study explored resident and nonresident fathers' perspectives about factors that facilitated and inhibited their ability to play a positive and active role in their children's lives. A total of 30 fathers were recruited from a support/mentoring group and from the general population to complete a semi-structured, audio-taped interview. A content analysis revealed that both groups of fathers were committed to maintaining a relation…
