“You’re Not Alone”
Many adolescents experience severe pain during menstruation, yet their attempts to receive medical attention to alleviate or manage this pain are often met with dismissal or disbelief. In light of these barriers to care, many adolescents turn to social media to share their experiences with menstruation and pain, as well as hear from other members of their community. In this study, we investigated how adolescents present their experiences with men…
Is all validation equal? Evaluating sensory- and emotion-focused validation in the context of experimentally induced pain
Validation has been examined in experimental and clinical settings, but examination of whether specific content of validation responses affect pain-related outcomes has not been considered. We examined the impact of sensory- or emotion-focused validation following a pain task. Participants ( N = 140) were randomly assigned to one of three validation conditions (i.e. sensory, emotional, or neutral) and completed the cold pressor task (CPT). Partic…
Dysmenorrhea and psychological wellbeing among females with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
Although rarely examined together, ADHD, emotional regulation (ER), and dysmenorrhea may be associated, which could create additive burdens on psychological well-being (PWB). Clinicians working with ADHD populations may need to take these challenges into consideration to maximize treatment outcomes. This study investigated the relationships among ADHD, dysmenorrhea, ER, and PWB within a sample of 266 adult females with a self-reported ADHD diagno…

Current Knowledge on Child Sexual Abuse in Indigenous Populations of Canada and the United States
T his literature review was undertaken to assess the state of current knowledge, stemming from scientific research with regards to child sexual abuse (CSA) in indigenous communities. At first, this review was to be restricted solely to the indigenous peoples of Qubec. However, since the literature on CSA in indigenous populations is extremely limited, the scope of our research was extended to include results from studies on indigenous peoples of …
Reflections and Commentary on a Theory of Philanthropy
This special section of The Foundation Review includes four articles about theory of philanthropy, an approach for identifying and articulating a comprehensive and integrated synthesis of how and why a foundation operates as it does. The opening article explains what a theory of philanthropy is, how it contrasts with theory of change, and how it is more than -but incorporates -a foundation's philosophy and strategy. Next come two case studies, on…
Mental Health Literacy in Emerging Adults in a University Setting
Despite the high prevalence of mental health concerns in university populations, students are unlikely to seek formal help. The current study examined help-seeking behaviors among emerging adults in a university setting using a mental health literacy framework. Responses from 122 university undergraduates were examined. Students ranged in age from 17 to 25 years ( M = 20.67 years, SD = 2.03 years). Quantitative data were collected to determine st…
