Design and early validation of a digital assessment for science perceptions (DigiDast)
The Draw-A-Scientist Test (DAST) has long been used to examine perceptions of scientists, yet its paper-based administration and analysis present limitations in accessibility, adaptability, and analytic precision for young learners and diverse audiences. This study introduces DigiDAST, a digital adaptation of the DAST that assesses children’s perceptions of scientists through interactive, developmentally appropriate tools. Guided by a content ana…
Adolescent Perspectives on Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children Prevention Programming
The commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) is confirmed across all racial and ethnic identities, socioeconomic statuses, geographic regions, and backgrounds, underscoring a need for greater general awareness of the crime and the many trajectories of abuse it may encompass. CSEC prevention programs are one suggested method of averting initial or re-victimization of particularly vulnerable children and youth, as well as providing youth w…
Hope in Folded Pages
This paper presents the co‐creation of River of Hope , an animation exploring climate resilience among communities along the Red River in Northern Vietnam. Developed through a transnational collaboration between Vietnamese youth, UK and Vietnamese researchers and a UK‐based animation artist, the project demonstrates how participatory digital arts can surface cultural connections and insights often obscured by generational and linguistic divides. …
From science to storytelling
Climate change presents urgent global challenges that demand swift and transformative responses. However, current efforts often fall short, revealing a crisis not only of environmental concern but also of social action. Responses to this have included climate change and sustainability education and communication, though these have tended to be knowledge‐heavy, operating under outdated knowledge deficit‐based assumptions that merely providing more…
Place-based and intergenerational storytelling for youth climate action
The urgency of the climate crisis necessitates inclusive approaches that engage marginalised groups, particularly youth, in meaningful and sustained ways. This paper explores the transformative potential of place-based and intergenerational storytelling for fostering youth climate action, drawing on insights from a British Academy-funded project in Vietnam. Building on Lundy’s Model of Participation, we integrate “momentum” as a critical extensio…
Act of hope
This case study explores a collaboration between young people, researchers and artists which captured stories of how people in the Red River Catchment of Northern Vietnam are responding to climate change, and then used the local art of water puppetry to communicate those stories to a wider audience. The performance evoked the interdependence of the human and physical worlds, showing the impacts of climate change but also people’s adaptiveness. In…
Reimaging activism to save the planet
This article offers new insights into the important role that transdisciplinary, participatory action research approaches offer young people as a safe space to ‘act’ on climate change and environmental degradation. Drawing upon methodological meta‐reflections on three separate, but interlinked, projects (two UK‐based, one in Vietnam), we highlight an evolving approach that fuses knowledge, local context and emotional connection to engage action. …
Collection, Storage, and Use of Client Data
We are a team of university-based researchers who have decades of experience collaborating with multiple community-based human trafficking (HT), domestic violence, and sexual violence programs on research projects. In this paper, we provide recommendations for HT agencies on routine data collection, storage, and use based on our insights from working closely with multiple community-based HT service provider agencies. In this opinion piece, we con…
A mixed methods study to understand perinatal mental healthcare referral decisions among midwives and health visitors in the UK
Fundamental to MWs'/HVs' decision-making was their perceived relationship between themselves and women. Although PNMH service provision is important for women to ensure they receive appropriate PNMH care, service provision appeared less important to MWs'/HVs' referral decision-making than how maternity/health visiting services were delivered. Further important factors to MWs/HVs were to the ability to provide continuity of carer with women allowi…
The Contributing Role of Family, School, and Peer Supportive Relationships in Protecting the Mental Wellbeing of Children and Adolescents
Globally, mental disorders are the leading cause of disability in children and adolescents. Previous research has demonstrated that supportive relationships are a key protective factor against poor mental health in children, particularly amongst those who have experienced adversity. However, fewer studies have examined the relative impact of different types of supportive relationships. The current study examined the association between level of f…
Scientific accompaniment
Purpose Calls for the development and dissemination of evidence-based programs to support children and families have been increasing for decades, but progress has been slow. This paper aims to argue that a singular focus on evaluation has limited the ways in which science and research is incorporated into program development, and advocate instead for the use of a new concept, “scientific accompaniment,” to expand and guide program development and…

The stories of women, by women, married to male ministry leaders
This qualitative research study captured the narratives of women married to men in ministry leadership roles. Although much empirical research has been published on the effects of stress on men and women in full-time ministry, few studies have explored personal narratives of the ministry wife or the effects on her family. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the satisfaction, expectations, fears, regrets, and insights of the fishb…
Youth Internet Safety Education
Background: This review critically examines the messages of youth internet safety education programs in the light of research about both the dynamics of internet dangers and the efficacy of youth prevention education. Methods: Using terms “internet safety education” and “digital citizenship,” a Google search identified 12 multi-topic safety programs. Review articles were identified via Google Scholar for six forms of online harm to youth that hav…
Investing ourselves
As working-class female academics, this paper examines the constructions of our identities focusing on both what unites and differentiates us as working-class women. We focus on the structuring forces in our lives such as our class, our whiteness and our gender, but we also discuss how our experiences have been shaped by space and place as a complex set of time-sensitive inter-relationships involving domination and subordination. Here, our differ…

Personalising screening of sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy - qualitative evidence to inform effective implementation
Implementing variable-interval screening into clinical practice is generally acceptable to PWD and HCP with important caveats, and misconceptions must be addressed. Clear safeguards against increasing non-attendance, loss of diabetes control and alternative referral pathways are required. For risk calculation systems to be safe, reliable monitoring and clear communication is required
We are the same as everyone else just with a different and unique backstory’
This paper develops understandings of how being publicly identified and consequently labelled as ‘looked after’ can have damaging consequences for young people, particularly in how they are perceived by their peers in the context of schooling. Based on qualitative research in northern England utilising participatory approaches with young people and interviews with support staff, we explore barriers that inhibit young people's sense of belonging. …
A systematic review investigating the behaviour change strategies in interventions to prevent misuse of anabolic steroids
We examined intervention effectiveness of strategies to prevent image- and performance-enhancing drug use. Comprehensive searches identified 14 interventions that met review inclusion criteria. Interventions were predominantly educational and delivered within school sport settings, but targeted a wide range of mediating factors. Identification of effective components was limited across studies by brief or imprecise descriptions of intervention co…
Learning to belong? ‘Culture’ and ‘place making’ among children and young people in Hull, UK City of Culture 2017
Despite the rise of ‘child-friendly cities’ internationally, and a growing interest in youth engagement in urban planning, the role of children and young people in culture-led regeneration and ‘place making’ schemes, remains under-researched. Notwithstanding the wealth of research into childhood and youth cultures, little is known about the ways in which the abstract (and perhaps predominantly ‘adult’) notions of ‘culture’ and ‘place’ are negotia…

New measures to assess the social ecology of youth
OBJECTIVE: This project used mixed methods to expand the understanding of social ecological constructs important to youth and develop measures to assess these constructs. METHODS: Eight focus groups and 24 cognitive interviews were conducted with adolescents and caregivers. These were followed by a survey completed by 440 youth ages 10-21 (average age: 16.38, standard deviation[SD] = 3.04). RESULTS: Qualitative data revealed social ecological con…
The effect of multiple adverse childhood experiences on health
The alcohol harm paradox
Deprived increased/higher drinkers are more likely than affluent counterparts to consume alcohol as part of a suite of health challenging behaviours including smoking, excess weight and poor diet/exercise. Together these can have multiplicative effects on risks of wholly (e.g. alcoholic liver disease) and partly (e.g. cancers) alcohol-related conditions. More binge drinking in deprived individuals will also increase risks of injury and heart dise…
Bulletproof Diva
From the trenches of America's cultural landscape resounds the battle cry of Lisa Jones. Part soldier and part satirist of the current wars on racism, sexism, and other insidious social conventions, she has tackled the politics of everything from hair products to Anita Hill in her award-winning Skin Trade column for Village Voice. Born on New York's Lower East Side to a black nationalist father and Jewish intellectual mother, Lisa was never one t…

Why Have Child Maltreatment and Child Victimization Declined
Various forms of child maltreatment and child victimization declined as much as 40–70% from 1993 until 2004, including sexual abuse, physical abuse, sexual assault, homicide, aggravated assault, robbery, and larceny. Other child welfare indicators also improved during the same period, including teen pregnancy, teen suicide, and children living in poverty. This article reviews a wide variety of possible explanations for these changes: demography, …

Education and poverty
Although there is widespread agreement that poverty and poor educational outcomes are related, there are different explanations about why that should be the case. The purpose of this paper is to provide a conceptual synthesis of some of the research literature on poverty and education. From our readings the debates cohere, to a greater or lesser extent, around three different foci: ones that focus on the individual and that we have termed the ‘mi…
Power and Violence by Paul Ricoeur
In this article, from his Lectures I: Autour du politique, Ricoeur addresses and subjects to critical examination the political thought of Hannah Arendt, taking as his starting point her paper 'On Violence', and her treatment of the conceptual pair power and violence. In investigating Arendt's cardinal distinction between these concepts, Ricoeur brings to light the way in which Arendt's thinking goes against the grain of the dominant tradition in…

Health Care Access, Utilization, and Problems in a Sample of Former Foster Children
Three years of descriptive data that describe health problems and access to care for former foster youth are presented (n = 92). Findings were that most youths had health coverage at emancipation, but the proportion with coverage shrinks after three years to 57%. Youths generally reported good health despite the loss of Medicaid and increasing difficulties with access to care. However, mental health problems and substance abuse problems in the sa…
Direct Service Workers' Attitudes Toward Employment, Unemployment, and Client's Problems
This research was designed to provide some preliminary data on how social workers in Child and Family agencies assess the impact of joblessness on their clients. It was hypothesized that social workers would use more external attributions than internal attributions at both the abstract and practice level for explaining unemployment than would other professionals. The abstract level was identified by having respondents complete the Unemployment At…
His Unemployment and Her Reaction
This article reviews the literature on wives' reactions to their husbands' unemployment to identify effects that would be of interest to researchers or clinicians and to contribute to the knowledge base on economic functioning and family dynamics. The first part identifies the research evidence, and the second part discusses the implications of the findings
Does Training and Documentation Improve Emergency Department Assessments of Domestic Violence Victims
Oneself as an Author
In his discussions of life as narrative, and identity as narrative identity, Paul Ricoeur has claimed that we learn to become narrators and heroes of our own stories, without actually becoming the authors of our own lives. This idea, that we cannot be the author of our own life-story in the same way that the author of fictional narrative is the author of that story, seems at first incontestable, given that we are caught up within the enactment of…
Using Tanf Sanctions to Increase High School Graduation
The School Attendance Demonstration Project (SADP) was aimed at encouraging AFDC teens to attend school and finish high school. The project used a combined approach of the financial incentive in the form of a penalty for non-attendance, and the provision of social services. SADP tracked the school attendance and graduation status of eligible teens (n=997) in the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD). The study utilized a control group with ra…
Effect of Unemployment on Women
In the context of a four-month longitudinal investigation, the reactions of a small group of women to unemployment were compared with those of a larger group of men. The hypothesis that women would be less affected by the loss of their jobs was not supported. However, it was found that only the women who experienced financial distress or who exhibited a strong satisfaction with work were negatively affected, while the mere fact of being unemploye…

Women in Substance Use Treatment
The objective of this study was to examine the differences between women with children in substance use treatment who are involved in Child Protective Services (CPS+) and those who are not involved (CPS-). Using a sample of all alcohol and other drug (AOD) clients (N = 6,023) receiving substance use treatment over a three-year period (1997-99), the study found that CPS+ women were more likely to be younger, have more children, have been arrested …

The Prevalence and Characteristics of Substance Abusers in a Child Protective Service Sample
The purpose of this research was to identify characteristics of substance abusers in a child protective services caseload. The random sample of 443 children was drawn from an urban county from all children with a substantiated abuse case. Files of children were reviewed to derive data. Sixty-eight percent of the children had mothers who abused alcohol or drugs, and 37 percent of them had mothers who abused both. Substance abuse, service contacts,…

Teenage drinking, alcohol availability and pricing
There is no safe level of alcohol consumption for 15-16 year olds. However, while abstinence removes risk of harms from personal alcohol consumption, its promotion may also push children into accessing drink outside family environments and contribute to higher risks of harm. Strategies to reduce alcohol-related harms in children should ensure bingeing is avoided entirely, address the excessively low cost of many alcohol products, and tackle the e…
