A Systematic Review of Microaggression-Focused Interventions and Training Programs in Healthcare
Microaggressions in healthcare are prevalent in clinical encounters, training, and collegial interactions, impacting the physical and psychological well-being of patients and healthcare professionals with marginalized backgrounds. To address healthcare-based microaggressions, there has been an increasing number of interventions and training programs over the past few decades. Based upon the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Met…
Addressing Challenging Interpersonal Interactions on University Campuses: A Systematic Review of Training and Intervention Programs
Microaggressions are widely reported across various interpersonal interactions in higher education settings, with significant implications for the psychological, academic, and occupational well-being of individuals from marginalized backgrounds. In response, a growing number of interventions and training programs (interventions hereafter) have been developed to address microaggressions on university campuses. However, a comprehensive review of th…
The Free2B Multi-Media Bullying Prevention Experience: An Exemplar of Scientific Edutainment
The current paper illustrates the use of a new paradigm, termed Scientific Edutainment , as a way to combine evidenced-based developmental science with the latest in entertainment technology to provide innovative, engaging, and technologically-sophisticated educational programming

Measuring Community-Based Participatory Research Partnerships: The Initial Development of an Assessment Instrument
PAIR was developed out of a need identified jointly by community members and researchers, and is intended to characterize the range of relationships between researchers and community members engaging in community-based research and programming
Development, Validation, and Utility of an Instrument to Assess Core Competencies in the Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (Lend) Program
The Role of Empowerment in a School-Based Community Service Program with Inner-City, Minority Youth
Despite considerable fiscal and structural support for youth service programs, research has not demonstrated consistent outcomes across participants or programs, suggesting the need to identify critical program processes. The present study addresses this need through preliminary examination of the role of program empowerment in promoting positive identity development in inner-city, African American youth participating in a pilot school-based serv…
Developing Measures of Community‐Relevant Outcomes for Violence Prevention Programs: A Community‐Based Participatory Research Approach to Measurement
Community‐Based Participatory Research is a research paradigm that encourages community participation in designing and implementing evaluation research, though the actual outcome measures usually reflect the “external” academic researchers’ view of program effect and the policy‐makers’ needs for decision‐making. This paper describes a replicable process by which existing standardized psychometric scales commonly used in youth‐related intervention…
The Association Between Forms of Aggression, Leadership, and Social Status Among Urban Youth
Methods for Linking Community Views to Measureable Outcomes in a Youth Violence Prevention Program
We applied rigorous action steps to match community-defined indicators to survey data collected in the youth violence prevention intervention. We learned important lessons that inform recommendations for others interested in such endeavors. The process used to derive and assess community-defined indicators of success emphasized the principles of community-based participatory research (CBPR) and use of existing and available data to reduce partici…
Preliminary Examination of a Cartoon‐Based Hostile Attributional Bias Measure for Urban African American Boys
The current study illustrates how researchers developed and validated a cartoon‐based adaptation of a written hostile attributional bias measure for a sample of urban, low‐income, African American boys. A series of studies were conducted to develop cartoon illustrations to accompany a standard written hostile attributional bias vignette measure (Study 1), to determine initial psychometric properties (Study 2) and acceptability (Study 3), and to c…

Using Community-Based Participatory Research to Develop the PARTNERS Youth Violence Prevention Program
Despite several challenges inherent to CBPR, the current study provides a number of lessons learned for the continued development of relationships and trust among researchers and community members, with particular attention to balancing the demand for systematic implementation of community-based interventions while being responsive to the immediate needs of the community

Containing mental health treatment costs through program design: A Massachusetts study
A single site pre-post study of seriously mentally ill patients treated in a public mental health system shows that annual treatment costs can be substantially reduced with the use of day hospital treatment. Two cohorts of psychiatric patients--282 consecutive admissions to a traditional public inpatient unit in 1980, and 340 consecutive admissions to a combination of inpatient and day hospital care in 1984--were followed 12 months after admissio…
