Creating Space for Grief
Sixty percent of students experience the death of a close person at some point in their post-secondary studies. This life stage is characterized by cognitive, academic, social, physical, emotional, and identity-related stressors which together may also intensify grief. Importantly, post-secondary students' unique needs may not be addressed by community grief supports focused on serving children, youth, and families/caregivers; most are faced with…
A longitudinal study of parents’ home-safety practices to prevent injuries during infancy
Unintentional injury represents a significant health threat to children, and infancy marks a particularly vulnerable stage. This multi-method study (questionnaire, diary) measured parents’ ( N = 143) use of three popular home-safety practices (teaching about safety, environment modification to reduce access to hazards, supervision) and child injury rates at two stages of motor development during infancy (sitting, walking). Associations between th…

Community-based methadone clinics are potentially useful sites to offer biomedical HIV prevention, but little is known about how clinicians and other clinic staff communicate with patients about sexual behavior and HIV-related topics. METHODS: Thirty semi-structured interviews were conducted at two methadone clinics in Northern New Jersey. Particip…

A longitudinal study of parents' expectations about infants' emerging behaviors and their safety strategies to moderate injury risk
Issues in Defining and Measuring Supervisory Neglect and Conceptualizing Prevention
Children’s Understanding of No Diving Warning Signs
The current study examined children's understanding of No Diving warning signs. Normally-developing 7 to 10 year olds were asked questions to assess their understanding of text, images, and main messages on No Diving warning signs. These structured interviews were audio recorded and responses were later coded. Results revealed that children understood the behavior advised against (diving), why it is prohibited (can hit head on the bottom), and wh…
