Associations between Local and State Structural Stigma, Minority stress, and Mental Health in a Nationwide Sample of Sexual Minority Adolescents
Structural stigma, which includes policies and attitudes that mark minorities for discrimination, contributes to sexual minority adolescents’ (SMA) stress and mental health disparities, yet the relative contributions of county- vs. state-level stigma remain unknown. This study examined how structural stigma affects SMA exposure to minority stress and mental health symptoms with a U.S. national sample of SMA ( N = 2,558, ages 14-17, M = 15.9), of …
Exploring the Drivers of Child Maltreatment Under- and Overreporting: A Qualitative Study
Child abuse and neglect (CAN) is a complex issue that is subject to both under- and overreporting; yet, research into the underlying neighborhood-level drivers of these practices remains limited. The current study gathered perspectives from 30 child protective service (CPS) workers and agency leaders in Southern California neighborhoods to identify perceptions of social and contextual neighborhood factors that might influence over- and underrepor…
Maternal and adolescent depressive symptoms and family conflict: An autoregressive cross‐lagged examination of competing models in multi‐stressed mothers and adolescents
Maternal and adolescent depression are challenges that often co‐occur. Many studies have drawn bivariate associations between maternal depressive symptoms, adolescent depressive symptoms, and family conflict, but few have examined reciprocal effects. Even among extant studies, there is a lack of clarity related to directionality of influence. Three competing theoretical models may explain the relationship between maternal depressive symptoms, ado…
Adaptation Resources and Responses to Wildfire Smoke and Other Forms of Air Pollution in Low-Income Urban Settings: A Mixed-Methods Study
Little is known about how low-income residents of urban communities engage their knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and resources to mitigate the health impacts of wildfire smoke and other forms of air pollution. We interviewed 40 adults in Los Angeles, California, to explore their threat assessments of days of poor air quality, adaptation resources and behaviors, and the impacts of air pollution and wildfire smoke on physical and mental health. Pa…
Vulnerable, Resilient, or Both? A Qualitative Study of Adaptation Resources and Behaviors to Heat Waves and Health Outcomes of Low-Income Residents of Urban Heat Islands
Little is known of how low-income residents of urban heat islands engage their knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and resources to mitigate the health impacts of heat waves. In this qualitative study, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 40 adults in two such neighborhoods in Los Angeles California to explore their adaptation resources and behaviors, the impacts of heat waves on physical and mental health, and threat assessments of future h…
Minority and low-SES families’ experiences during the early phases of the Covid-19 pandemic crisis: A qualitative study
Readily available crisis-oriented resources, for both children and parents, are needed to help families maintain or rebuild their sense of control over their lives during the early phases of a collective crisis (e.g., pandemic). Although early observations help to contextual families' initial experiences, examining long-term trends can inform meaningful policies and practices that both support how low-SES families buffer against COVID-19-related …
Let’s talk about adaptation! How individuals discuss adaptation during evidence-based practice implementation
Purpose Researchers suggest that adaptation should be a planned process, with practitioners actively consulting with program developers or academic partners, but few studies have examined how adaptation unfolds during evidence-based practice (EBP) implementation. The purpose of this paper is to describe real-world adaptation discussions and the conditions under which they occurred during the implementation of a new practice across multiple county…
An exploration of the socio-cultural context in immigrant-concentrated neighborhoods with unusual rates of child maltreatment
Despite the field’s understanding of individual and family level predictors of child maltreatment, research on neighborhood indicators of child abuse and neglect, especially in immigrant communities, is limited. This study employed a qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews to elicit perceptions of 28 key community informants to further understand the social dynamics of highly concentrated immigrant communities and their influence on…
Adverse Childhood Experiences and Mental Health, Chronic Medical Conditions, and Development in Young Children
Research-Supported Intervention and Discretion Among Frontline Workers Implementing Home Visitation Services
Workers dynamically negotiated multiple system- and provider-level (or outer- and inner-contextual) demands influencing RSI provision for clients with complex service needs. Results affirm the need to attend to the unintended consequences of implementing new contract, reimbursement, and other system organizational processes and to address the "committed work" supporting RSI delivery
Cultural adaptation of an evidence-based home visitation programme: Latino clients’ experiences of service delivery during implementation
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the experiences of Latino clients following a naturalistic cultural adaptation made to SafeCare, an evidence-based home visiting intervention designed to address specific linguistic and cultural issues affecting the Latino community during implementation in San Diego County, California. Design/methodology/approach – Hierarchical linear models examined whether Latino clients experienced differences…
Interagency Collaborative Team model for capacity building to scale-up evidence-based practice
Exploration and adoption of evidence-based practice by US child welfare agencies
Mixed Method Designs in Implementation Research
This paper describes the application of mixed method designs in implementation research in 22 mental health services research studies published in peer-reviewed journals over the last 5 years. Our analyses revealed 7 different structural arrangements of qualitative and quantitative methods, 5 different functions of mixed methods, and 3 different ways of linking quantitative and qualitative data together. Complexity of design was associated with n…
Caregiver Reports of Serious Injuries in Children Who Remain at Home After a Child Protective Services Investigation
Developmental and Behavioral Needs and Service Use for Young Children in Child Welfare
Objective. To determine the level of developmental and behavioral need in young children entering child welfare (CW), estimate early intervention services use, and examine variation in need and service use based on age and level of involvement with CW by using a national probability sample in the United States. Methods. As part of the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being, data were collected on 2813 children <6 years old for whom po…
Parent-Training Programs in Child Welfare Services: Planning for a More Evidence-Based Approach to Serving Biological Parents
Child welfare service agencies provide parent training as part of their legally mandated responsibility to provide services to assist families to keep their children at home or to achieve reunification. The use of parent-training programs for families in the child welfare system has undergone relatively little examination. Mental health, special education, and juvenile justice have been identifying evidence-based approaches that have demonstrated…
Contextual Predictors of Mental Health Service Use Among Children Opento Child Welfare
BACKGROUND: Children involved with child welfare systems are at high risk for emotional and behavioral problems. Many children with identified mental health problems do not receive care, especially ethnic/minority children. OBJECTIVE: To examine how patterns of specialty mental health service use among children involved with child welfare vary as a function of the degree of coordination between local child welfare and mental health agencies. DESI…
Outpatient mental health services for children in foster care: A national perspective
Longitudinal assessment of family support among homeless mentally ill participants in a supported housing program
Although strengthening the family relations of individuals with severe mental illness has been identified as an important objective for community-based case management programs, little is known about the impact of such programs on patterns of family relations over time. This study assesses longitudinally the family support of a large sample of homeless mentally ill individuals participating in a supported housing program. The program randomly ass…
Providing independent housing for the homeless mentally ill: A novel approach to evaluating long‐term longitudinal housing patterns
The provision of adequate housing for the severely mentally ill homeless has been considered a prerequisite for successful treatment. Whether or not providing access to independent housing environments without on-site support is an effective means for stabilizing this population in the community is far less studied. Preference studies indicate a strong desire for access to independent housing, but little is known about the ability of mentally ill…
