My Cross to Bear: Mothering in the Context of Intimate Partner Violence Among Pregnant Women in Mexico
Intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy negatively affects both maternal and infant health, yet gaps remain in understanding factors that maintain violence and/or promote resilience within the context of mothering. Nine focus groups were conducted with pregnant and/or IPV-exposed women ( n = 17) and service providers ( n = 26) working with these women in Nuevo León, Mexico. Thematic analysis of the focus group data revealed the detriment…
What words can tell us about social determinants of mental health: A multi-method analysis of sentiment towards migration experiences and community life in Lima, Perú
To support resilience in contexts of migration, a deeper understanding of the experiences of both receiving communities and migrants is required. Research on the impacts of migration on community life is limited in contexts with high internal migration (i.e., migrating within one's country of origin). Evidence suggests that cultural similarity, community relationships, and access to resources may be protective factors that could be leveraged to s…

A qualitative exploration of families' experiences and resilience factors during the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted widespread changes and challenges worldwide. In the context of the early months of the pandemic, the current study utilized thematic analysis to assess parents' ( N = 13) perspectives of need for resources to foster their family's wellbeing. Five themes emerged: Information Deficits, Need for More Instrumental Supports, Frustration and Worry, Resources Promoting Resilience, and Positive Perspective Shift. Result…
Lessons learned in adapting an online intervention program for posttraumatic stress for use in Egypt
Cultural adaptation of evidence-based treatments is a pressing priority for global health, and previous research has informed recommendations for guiding the process of translation and adaptation. As research in the domain of cultural adaptation and evaluation of evidence-based treatments progresses, it is critical that researchers communicate key lessons learned, so that models of adaptation can be continuously refined and reconsidered. The work…
Interparental Conflict on Italian Adolescent Adjustment: The Role of Insecurity within the Family
Despite its importance, limited research has examined mechanisms underpinning how interparental conflict affects adolescents in Europe. Using a sample of 141 Italian families (mothers, fathers, and adolescents, Mage = 17.25 years, SD = 0.64), this study explores whether three types of adolescents' emotional insecurity, which describes adolescents' vulnerability to conflict, play a role in the association between interparental conflict and adolesc…
Evaluating social protective factors for violence involvement in Honduras
Endemic levels of violence continue to stall social and economic development in Honduras. Significant emphasis has been placed on social protective factors such as resilience and cohesion in violence prevention policies and programmes. This article evaluates these factors using previously validated tools applied to over 1,200 non-incarcerated and incarcerated individuals. Results demonstrate that resilience and cohesion are not as strongly associ…
Relational resilience as a potential mediator between adverse childhood experiences and prenatal depression
This study examined the indirect effects of individual, relational, and contextual resilience in the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and prenatal depression. Participants included 101 pregnant women. Adverse childhood experiences had a direct effect on depression, B = 1.11, standard error = .44, p = .01, and relational resilience, B = −1.15, standard error = .19, p < .001, but not individual or contextual resilience. With resil…
