A Quasi-Experimental Design Protocol to Evaluate a Two-State Rural Kinship Navigator Program
Kin caregivers provide support to millions of children in the United States when their biological parents are unable. Despite their critical role, kin caregivers often lack financial, medical, legal, housing, and support resources. These inequities are exacerbated in rural areas. The Wyoming/Montana Kinship Navigator Program was designed to improve outcomes for caregivers and children with a rural, solution-focused, enhanced case-management model…

Influence of Kinship Caregiver and Family Characteristics on Kinship Care Experiences
Kinship care is the increasingly preferred child placement with a relative when the biological parents are unable to provide care. Program and resource supports must understand how to best meet these caregivers’ needs. Through thematic analysis of existing literature, this study aims to understand how kin caregiver characteristics affect kinship care outcomes. A total of 28 peer-reviewed articles were included in this analysis. Findings indicate …
Cross-State Validation of a Tool Supporting Implementation of Rural Kinship Navigator Programs
While kinship care is prevalent and preferred over out-of-family care, there are relatively few measurement tools validated for use with this audience. The Title IV-E Clearinghouse, used to rate Families First Prevention Services such as Kinship Navigator Programs, requires valid tools. Such families face a myriad of needs in supporting children in their care. Previous research has established the significant challenges faced by rural families. A…
Rural Midwestern Mexican Fathers’ Perspectives on Family Food, Mealtimes, and Physical Activity
Two focus group interviews with eight low-income Mexican fathers in two communities in a rural Midwestern state explored fathers' perceptions, behaviors, and roles related to child and family food consumption, mealtimes, and physical activity. On average, fathers were 34 years of age, had 10 years of formal education, and annual household incomes ranged from $36,250 to $46,249. Findings include the identification of fifteen themes through the pro…
Family Legacy of Diabetes-Related Behaviors
African Americans are at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and this risk may be influenced by familial experiences and cultural norms throughout the life course. This led us to conduct this study of 20 African American families with strong histories of T2DM to explore familial complexities that prevent or help manage diabetic symptoms. Experiences were analyzed inductively through individual family profiles created using …
Food parenting practices in rural poverty context
Family Networks and Psychological Well-Being in Midlife
Scholarship has highlighted the importance of kin relations for well-being in adulthood. Much focus has been on relationships between spouses and between parents and children. However, limited research has explored the role of adult sibling relationships in well-being, and no studies have made direct comparisons among the effects of tension with these multiple family members. Using data collected from 495 adult children nested within 254 families…
