  • Development of a Momentary Digital Intervention to Prevent Sexual Revictimization Among College Women

    Open AccessMolly Maloney, Daniel W Oesterle et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Sexual Abuse2026

    Sexual violence (SV) revictimization occurs at high rates among college women and is associated with numerous unique risk factors that vary from those predicting primary victimization; however, few programmatic efforts specifically target the prevention of sexual revictimization.

SIU is argued to function as an internal source of stress, which some may attempt to mitigate via alcohol misuse. Objective: The present study hypothesi…

    Jennifer L BrownARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022Cited by: 1References: 8

    Policies of dispersal are increasingly favoured internationally for the resettlement of refugees and asylum seekers.

Little is known in published research about how rural schools engage in refugee education within the pol…

    Nicole K Gause, Jennifer L Brown et al.ARTICLEVulnerable Children and Youth…2019References: 12

    Black females are disproportionately affected by HIV/STIs, though individual-level sexual risk factors do not appear to explain racial/ethnic HIV incidence rate disparities. The current study examined the roles of attachment representations, working models of self and others, with psychosocial risk factors related to population-level sexual network features in association with risky sexual behaviors. A total of 560 Black emerging adult females ( …
