Taking stock of youth substance use portrayals
The changing landscape of substance use and related harms, interventions, and priority setting in Canada has intensified public commentary about youth and drugs. Given the politicized nature of these issues and the significant role of media in shaping societal views and responses to substance use, there is pragmatic value in examining how youth substance use is represented in contemporary media coverage, including to identify potential shortcomin…
Research breakdowns
Impactful research on refugee mental health is urgently needed. To mitigate the growing refugee crisis, researchers and clinicians seek to better understand the relationship between trauma, grief and post-migration factors with the aim of bringing better awareness, more resources and improved support for these communities and individuals living in host countries. As much as this is our intention, the prevailing research methods, that is, online a…
Developmental Trajectories of Cyber-Aggression among Early Adolescents in Canada
The objective of the present study was to examine developmental trajectories of cyber-aggression in early adolescence, as well as their relationship with predictive factors related to cyber-aggression (e.g., overt aggression, gender, and time spent online). Participants were 384 adolescents from the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada who were in grade six and grade seven at Time 1 of the study (192 boys, Mage = 13.62 years, SD = 0.74 year…
Application of Two-Eyed Seeing in Adolescent Mental Health to Bridge Design Thinking and Indigenous Collective Storytelling
A Two-Eyed Seeing perspective was useful to incorporate a design thinking approach as collective storytelling among Indigenous youth. This research may inform and shape the design of eMental health apps used in health clinics to better engage Indigenous youth
Cybervictimization, time spent online, and developmental trajectories of online privacy concerns among early adolescents
The goal of the present study was to examine developmental trajectories of online privacy concerns, as well as to identify predictive factors (e.g., cybervictimization, time spent online, and socializing online) related to online privacy concerns among early adolescents. Participants were 378 adolescents from the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada who were in grade six and grade seven at wave 1 of the study (192 boys, Mage = 13.93 years, …
Grease Trail Storytelling Project
Background: Indigenous learners and community members are often excluded from online learning environments, as both consumers and producers of knowledge, resulting in an educational digital divide. Further, Indigenous knowledges represented through digital practices and online spaces risk misrepresentation and appropriation, which leads to stereotypes and deficit thinking about Indigenous people, their histories, and their current realities. Ther…
Aboriginal Youth Experiences with Cyberbullying
Technology has transformed interactions among adolescents from face-to-face to instantaneous virtual communication. Yet the use of digital media among adolescents can be potentially harmful with the risk of cyberbullying. While cyberbullying is a growing concern, few researchers have explored cyberbullying experiences among Aboriginal adolescents. The present study addresses this gap by examining qualitative data regarding cyberbullying experienc…
Examining the Relationship between Attachment Styles and Resilience Levels among Aboriginal Adolescents in Canada
The history of colonization in Canada has a traumatic intergenerational impact on young Aboriginal people's health, which is evidenced by the wide health disparities (Adelson, 2005; Health Council of Canada, 2012). However, extant research shows that, through resilience, many Aboriginal adolescents overcome adverse situations and develop into healthy adults (Andersson & Ledogar, 2008). Knowledge of the ways and extent to which Aboriginal youth se…
