Sustaining scenarios: Researcher-practitioner reflections on extending research beyond project boundaries
We evaluate the results of a food system scenarios workshop in Flint, Michigan designed to co-create actionable pathways toward desirable futures in the medium-term (20 years), alongside analysis from practitioners one year post workshop. The goal of the scenario planning process is to support the translation and usability of research findings beyond project boundaries through the engagement of diverse voices and perspectives, combining research …
Understanding the Longitudinal Impact of School-Based Health Centers on Student Attendance
Defining success in community-university partnerships: Lessons learned from Flint
The success of responsible research and innovation (RRI) work is as much about the process of partnership as it is about the products and outcomes. In this paper, we present lessons learned from the first three years of a participatory modeling (PM) research project based on RRI principles and focused on the transformation of the food system in Flint, Michigan through identification of leverage points. Participatory modeling is a type of communit…

The Impact of School-Based Health Centers on the Health Outcomes of Middle School and High School Students
Objectives. We studied the direct and indirect effects of school-based health centers (SBHCs) on the health and health behaviors of middle and high school students. Methods. We used a prospective cohort design to measure health outcomes annually over 2 consecutive years by student self-report. Cohorts of middle school and high school students were recruited from matched schools with and without SBHCs. Data were obtained from 744 students in both …
Methods of Rapid Evaluation, Assessment, and Appraisal
A central issue in the use of rapid evaluation and assessment methods (REAM) is achieving a balance between speed and trustworthiness. In this article, the authors review the key differences and common features of this family of methods and present a case example that illustrates how evaluators can use rapid evaluation techniques in their own work. In doing so, the authors hope to (a) introduce readers to a family of techniques with which they ma…
Early Marriage in a Hmong Cohort
Rumbaut and Ima's (1988) report on the social and cultural adaptation of Southeast Asian refugee youth in Sad Diego indicated that the Hmong have retained their traditional family patterns more than any other group studied. Important characteristics of these family patterns include early age of marriage for female children, high levels of fertility, and a narrow set of circumscribed roles for females vis-a-vis those of males. Other studies indica…
The Educational Achievement of the St. Paul Hmong
A longitudinal survey study of St. Paul high school students shows that Hmong compare favorably with the general population in social adjustment and academic achievement. Questionnaire responses of parents indicate a strong Hmong emphasis on educating children as a way of improving the status of the entire family. When interpreted in the context of recent Hmong history, the survey data support a “cultural model” proposed by Gibson and Ogbu to exp…
The Problem of Metaphorical Nonequivalence in Cross-Cultural Survey Research: Comparing the Mental Health Statuses of Hmong Refugee and General Population Adolescents
The use of questionnaire data to compare the mental health of Hmong refugee and general population high school students demonstrates the difficulty of translating between investigator and subject lexicons and, consequently, of equating the conceptual systems they signify. Whether particular psychosocial variables that are standardized for a general population can be used to study the adjustment of linguistically unassimilated ethnic minorities de…
