Normativity of Culturally-Specific Discipline Practices and Linkages to Caregiver–Child Relationship Quality in Sierra Leone
Young people’s experiences of support, belonging, and freedom before and after leaving residential care institutions in Kenya
Family Strengthening to Prevent Family Separation and Entrance into Residential Care Institutions in Sierra Leone
Development of a Child-Informed Measure of Subjective Well-Being for Research on Residential Care Institutions and Their Alternatives in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
10% of children worldwide live in households without a biological parent, and 5.4 million children live in residential care institutions. This study describes a participatory, child-informed process of developing a multidimensional measure of child subjective well-being tailored towards the priorities of children who have lived in residential care. Eight focus groups were held with n = 49 adolescents reunified with family after living in resident…
The Chelsea Research Festival Model
Background: Researchers often fail to disseminate their results to the communities they study. Meanwhile, youth in historically marginalized communities face barriers that reduce their likelihood of becoming researchers themselves. Objectives: To bridge this research-community divide by creating the Chelsea Research Festival, an annual poster fair held at a public high school in the majority-Latinx city of Chelsea, Massachusetts. Methods: The fes…
Inclusive education for children with disabilities in a refugee camp
Children in refugee camps, and particularly those with disabilities, face unique challenges in accessing education and are at high risk of being marginalised. Best practices suggest that main-streaming is the optimal strategy for serving students with disabilities. This study examines the extent to which mainstreaming in a refugee camp helps to promote children's prosocial behaviours, taking into account their emotional and behavioural problems. …
Understanding mechanisms of change in a family-based preventive mental health intervention for refugees by refugees in New England
Transnational migration of refugees is associated with poor mental health, particularly among children. We conducted a pilot trial of the Family Strengthening Intervention for Refugees (FSI-R), using a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach to deliver a home-based intervention 'for refugees by refugees' to improve family functioning and child mental health. N = 80 refugee families in the Greater Boston area participated in the stu…
Investigating Outcomes of a Family Strengthening Intervention for Resettled Somali Bantu and Bhutanese Refugees
Pre- and post-migration stressors can put resettled refugee children at risk of poor mental health outcomes. The Family Strengthening Intervention for Refugees (FSI-R) is a peer-delivered preventative home visiting program for resettled refugees that aims to draw upon families' strengths to foster improved family communication, positive parenting, and caregiver-child relationships, with the ultimate goal of reducing children's risk of mental heal…
Parental care status and sexual risk behavior in five nationally-representative surveys of sub-Saharan African nations
This study extends prior research linking orphanhood and sexual risk behavior, lending credence to the idea that it is not parental death, but rather parental absence, that leads to sexual risk in youth. Public health programming in Sub-Saharan Africa should consider targeting not only "orphaned youth," but all children separated from their parents
The McGovern-Dole food for education and Child nutrition program (MGD)
Developments in U.S. Intercountry Adoption Policy since Its Peak in 2004
This paper examines the implications of recent developments in U.S. intercountry adoption (ICA) policy for vulnerable children. We review policy and practices from 2004-2018, including (1) the 2008 implementation of the Hague Convention and (2) the 2017 changes in Hague accrediting entities for adoption agencies. By analyzing the ICA contexts of the top five States of origin, we argue the decline in ICA is from factors within States of origin rat…
