Addressing Access Barriers in Rural America
Purpose Family Resource Centers (FRCs) are place‐based programs with great potential to address rural access barriers and improve health outcomes, yet empirical evidence on these programs is lacking. Using multiple data sources from a longitudinal investigation in Wisconsin, this mixed‐methods study analyzed whether and how FRCs address rural access barriers. Methods A convergent parallel mixed‐methods design was used to gather, analyze, and inte…
The Effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences on Adult Mental Health Across Gender, Race/Ethnicity, and Economic Status in the United States
Associations between Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and poor mental health are well documented, but it remains unclear to what degree these associated effects vary among demographic subgroups. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to synthesize the evidence linking ACEs to depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) while exploring whether these associations vary by gender, race/ethnicity, and economic status. We s…

Intergenerational Transmission of Parental Adverse Childhood Experiences and Children’s Outcomes
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are among the leading environmental causes of morbidity and mortality. Extending research on within-generation effects, more recent scholarship has explored between-generation consequences of ACEs. Despite growing interest in the intergenerational effects of parents’ ACEs on children’s outcomes, this line of scholarship has yet to be coalesced into a comprehensive review. The current study is a scoping review …
Bidirectional Relations between Adverse Childhood Experiences and Children’s Behavioral Problems
Secondary traumatic stress among home visiting professionals
This study reaffirms that the STSS has sound psychometric properties, but it also raises questions about the prevalence and etiology of STS. Given the likely costs of PTSD to personal well-being and professional efficacy, further research is needed to advance the measurement and prediction of secondary traumatic stress.

Trauma Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (T-SBIRT) Implemented within Tanf Employment Services
The current study tested a trauma screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (T-SBIRT) interview protocol as implemented within Temporary Assistance to Needy Families programming. Using a non-experimental process evaluation and quasi-experimental outcome evaluation (N = 88), the study assessed four research questions. First, do T-SBIRT providers reach model adherence rates above 90%? Second, do over 90% of T-SBIRT completers experie…
Disparities in adverse childhood experiences by race/ethnicity, gender, and economic status
Home Visiting Effects on Breastfeeding and Bedsharing in a Low-Income Sample
BACKGROUND: Research suggests that home visiting interventions can promote breastfeeding initiation, though their effects on breastfeeding continuation are unclear. No known studies have assessed the impact of home visiting on bedsharing. AIMS: To test the effects of home visiting on breastfeeding and bedsharing in a low-income, urban sample in the United States. METHODS: During a field trial conducted in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, from April 2014 to …
Increasing mental health treatment access and equity through trauma-responsive care
Adverse childhood experiences and other potentially traumatic events have lasting implications for mental health. Evidence-based treatments are available to address trauma-related symptoms, but their impact is hindered because access is limited and unequal. In the U.S., adverse experiences and mental disorders disproportionately affect socioeconomically disadvantaged groups that face treatment access barriers-disparities that are compounded by pa…
Toward the assessment of adverse adult experiences
Extending research on adverse childhood experiences, the findings indicate that adverse adult experiences can be measured reliably and validly using a brief assessment. Implications are discussed, including opportunities to advance the study of trauma and resilience over the life course. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved)

Rethinking the Measurement of Adversity
Research on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) has unified the study of interrelated risks and generated insights into the origins of disorder and disease. Ten indicators of child maltreatment and household dysfunction are widely accepted as ACEs, but further progress requires a more systematic approach to conceptualizing and measuring ACEs. Using data from a diverse, low-income sample of women who received home visiting services in Wisconsin (…
Complementing SBIRT for Alcohol Misuse with SBIRT for Trauma
Reducing alcohol misuse is a priority for U.S. health officials considering that misuse of alcohol is a leading preventable cause of morbidity and mortality. Consequently, health centers are integrating Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) for alcohol misuse within usual care. Although SBIRT is well validated among general patient samples, results have not generalized to drinkers with probable alcohol use disorder; mor…
Poor mental health among low-income women in the U.S
Adapting Parent–Child Interaction Therapy to Foster Care
Objective: This study presents outcomes from a randomized trial of a novel Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) model for foster families. Differential effects of two intervention doses on child externalizing and internalizing symptoms are examined. Method: A sample of 102 foster children was assigned to one of three conditions—brief PCIT, extended PCIT, or wait-list control. The brief and extended groups received 2 days of PCIT training and 8…
Alterable Predictors of Educational Attainment, Income, and Crime
Using data from the Chicago Longitudinal Study, an ongoing panel investigation of more than 1,500 children, this article identifies a comprehensive set of predictors of educational attainment, employment, income, and adult crime. Predictors are measured from participants’ birth through high school by means of surveys and administrative records. These sources include data on individual, family, and school experiences, as well as on demographic att…

Implementation of Parent–Child Interaction Therapy Within Foster Care
This paper describes an innovative adaptation of an evidence-based intervention - Parent Child Interaction Therapy or PCIT - to foster parent training services. The authors faced multiple problems that commonly plague translational child welfare research as they developed, implemented and tested their model. The paper discusses how the authors addressed these problems when: 1) specifying the child welfare context in which the intervention model w…
