Explaining African-Americans' depressive symptoms
Findings from five community surveys suggest that the depressive symptom scores of African-Americans are the same as, or lower than, those of Whites. This seems at odds with the minority status hypothesis that predicts higher rates of mental disorders for African-Americans. However, little is known about the role of African-American coping capacity during the life stress process which may shed light on the seeming contradiction. This cross-sectio…
Am I My Mother’s Keeper? Children as Unexpected Sources of Social Support Among African American Women Living With HIV-Aids
HIV-AIDS continues to be an escalating health problem, particularly among women. In the United States, African American women are among the leading demographic groups for HIV prevalence. African American women represent 65% of the total women living with HIV-AIDS. The typical woman with HIV-AIDS is young, in her 20s, economically challenged, and of childbearing age. Adherence to HIV therapies is critical if patients are to achieve and maintain vi…
Exploring the Impact of Head Start on Parents
These findings suggest that there are longer term parental outcomes that could be incorporated in assessments of Head Start effectiveness
Exploring the Impact of Head Start on Parents
Background-The national Head Start Program uses a comprehensive, family-centered approach to foster healthy development for low-income children. Over a 1-year period, a university-local Head Start research team developed and implemented a pilot project to explore the impact of the Head Start's parental support services and other program activities. The interest was in determining any lasting effects on parents after Head Start
A Vision for Progress in Community Health Partnerships
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is an increasingly used approach for conducting research to improve community health. Using Rogers' diffusion of innovations theory as a framework, it follows that future adoption of CBPR will occur if academic and community partners perceive CBPR to have greater relative advantage, compatibility, trialability, and observability, and less complexity than other research approaches. We propose that arti…
Protective Factors Associated with Preadolescent Violence
This study explores the influences of communal values, empathy, violence avoidance self‐efficacy beliefs, and classmate's fighting on violent behaviors among urban African American preadolescent boys and girls. As part of a larger intervention study, 644 low‐income 5th grade students from 12 schools completed a baseline assessment that included the target constructs. Boys reported more violent behaviors, and lower levels of empathy and violence a…
