Promoting positive childhood experiences (PCEs) among those impacted by parental substance use
Impact of Medicaid expansion and methadone coverage as a medication for opioid use disorder on foster care entries during the opioid crisis
Prevalence and Correlates of Youth Homelessness in the United States
PURPOSE: Unaccompanied youth homelessness is a serious concern. Response, however, has been constrained by the absence of credible data on the size and characteristics of the population and reliable means to track youth homelessness over time. We sought to address these gaps. METHODS: Using a nationally representative phone-based survey (N = 26,161), we solicited household and individual reports on different types of youth homelessness. We collec…

Highlights We report results regarding youth couch surfing and homelessness from a national survey. Youth couch surfing is a common experience, although far more so for young adults than adolescents. There are notable differences between youth reporting homelessness versus only couch surfing. Couch surfing encompasses a range of experiences, some of which likely include need for services. Broader assessments of youths’ housing situation beyond po…

Different Types of Intimate Partner Violence Likely Require Different Types of Approaches to Prevention
Buzawa and Buzawa (this issue) assert that there are different typologies of intimate partner violence (IPV) defined by the extent to which the violence is part of a general pattern of coercive control. They center their discussion on batterers, who are understood to be responsible for the most severe forms of abuse and injury. Economic factors are believed to be "only a weak predictor of violence" in these cases. Thus, they argue that, in the fa…

Violent Victimization and Perpetration During Adolescence
Structural and Dynamic Process Family Risk Factors
This study utilized a dynamic cumulative family risk model to explain changes in adolescent functioning. We used a person-centered approach to detect patterns of academic, emotional, and behavioral functioning and the stability of these patterns using two waves of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (N= 10,173). Four adjustment profiles emerged at both time points. Although most (91%) adolescents remained in the same classificati…

Also, the authors discuss possible mediators and moderators of extracurricular activity participation in regard to adolescent development.
