Student Exposure to Family Adversity and Student Adjustment Difficulties in the Classroom
Limited research has explored how family-school relationships can buffer the negative effects of family adversity on students’ behavioral and emotional functioning in the classroom. Drawing on ecological resilience theory, this study investigates the relationship between student exposure to family adversity and adjustment difficulties in school and examines whether family engagement moderates this association. Data were collected from third-grade…
A pragmatic measure of student-reported school climate
There continues to be great interest in efficient and valid methods for assessing school climate for both research and practice purposes. Consistent with this special issue on pragmatic measurement, this paper distills a previously validated 30-item measure ( Bradshaw et al., 2014 ; Bradshaw, Waasdorp, Debnam, & Lindstrom Johnson, 2014 ; Lindstrom Johnson, Reichenberg, Shukla, Waasdorp, & Bradshaw, 2019 ) into a simplified version of the three co…

A Cross-Classified Hierarchical Linear Model of School Belonging and Marijuana Use Among Black Youth
BACKGROUND: Black youth have experienced notable increases in marijuana use, which has resulted in disproportionate rates of arrests and severe health diagnoses. Efforts to address these rising trends point to structural factors impacting the quality of Black youths' daily environments. Guided by the Phenomenological Variant of Ecological Systems Theory (PVEST), we examine the complexity of school belonging as a protective factor given its known …

The Racialized Control of Latinx Immigrant Students
School‐Family Partnerships to Support Attendance
BACKGROUND: Since returning to in-person instruction after the emergence of COVID-19 schools have seen a dramatic increase in the number of students chronically absent, with data indicating a greater increase for low-income, Black, and Hispanic students. Given the role of school attendance in both promoting positive educational outcomes as well as providing students with physical and mental health supports, it is critical to identify ways to re-e…
Developing a measure of educator self-efficacy around emotion co-regulation
Introduction Research suggests that one of the most pervasive consequences of traumatic events is the resulting dysregulation of emotions. Educators, including teachers, administrators, and student services staff, are instrumental in supporting students as they navigate overwhelming emotions by modeling and teaching skills to regulate emotional states (i.e., emotion co-regulation). Given the saliency of emotion co-regulation within educational co…

Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms among Assault-injured Youth
Community violence and its physical health consequences are well known among youth living in urban settings. However, less is known about the cumulative effect of contextual and demographic risk factors on posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) among vulnerable youth. Longitudinal data (baseline, 9-month, 21-month) were analyzed to investigate trajectories of PTSS, internalizing, and externalizing symptoms among 188 youth ( Mage 12.87, 60.6% male) …
Planning for a Crisis, but Preparing for Every Day
This study aimed to identify potential gaps related to crisis preparedness at 98 public secondary schools. We focused on crises that may occur following a substantiated eminent threat of school violence. Crisis preparedness data collected by trained external assessors captured knowledge of the procedure for responding in a safety-related crisis and process for notifying school staff, as well as the posting of the crisis plan in school locations. …
School racial‐ethnic discrimination, rule‐breaking behaviors and the mediating role of trauma among Latinx adolescents
Much of the literature linking adversity to trauma fails to account for racialized experiences, including racial‐ethnic discrimination, which is a highly prevalent form of adversity for youth of color in the U.S. Adversity and trauma often result in students experiencing elevated rule‐breaking behaviors, exacerbating existing racial‐ethnic disparities in disproportionate school discipline. Drawing from race‐based trauma theory, the present study …
Exploring Young Men’s Experience of Resistance to Masculine Norms
There are costs and benefits to conforming and resisting gender norms, and this ratio likely changes during the transition to adulthood. In this paper, we explore the development of young men’s masculine norm resistance from adolescence through emerging adulthood. Using thematic analysis on interviews with cisgender young adult men who reported feeling at least somewhat gender atypical ( N = 30, M age = 23, White = 74%), we found that: (a) men re…
The power of local research to inform adverse childhood experiences in substance use prevention in adolescents and adults
These findings demonstrate how local research can help prioritize prevention resources and increase the value of data-based decision-making. Policy-makers and providers can examine youth and adult data to compare priorities and assess for planning purposes. Specifically, it is possible to replicate known research findings, identify the most impacted subpopulations, and forecast the community's future needs
Violence Exposure, Aggressive Cognitions & Externalizing Behaviors Among Colombian Youth
Limited work has focused on understanding mechanisms through which violence negatively impacts youth outcomes. The present study investigates how three different facets of violence exposure (witnessing violence, victimization and armed conflict) relate to Colombian youth externalizing behaviors via the indirect influence of aggressive cognitions and the moderating role of community belongingness. Data were from a sample of students ( N = 3,483) i…
A Randomized Controlled Trial of MTSS-B in High Schools
This study presents findings from a 58 high-school group-randomized controlled trial testing the effectiveness of training in a multitiered system of supports for behavior (MTSS-B) framework, which was leveraged to reduce students’ risk for emotional and behavior disorders. The trial tested the impact of MTSS-B, which included (a) training in the broader MTSS-B framework that went beyond the existing Tier 1 (school-wide PBIS) training offered by …
Annual Research Review
OBJECTIVE: Research has identified the United States (U.S.) as a global outlier in its firearm ownership rates, with a correspondingly higher risk of youth firearm violence compared to other countries. The relative extent of disparities in youth firearm violence within the U.S. has been less clear. Little is known about factors in the social ecology driving these disparities and whether current firearm violence prevention approaches sufficiently …
Factors associated with successful mentor matching in an intervention study of youth violence
One challenge of conducting intervention studies is ensuring that study participants are exposed to the intervention. For example, in our randomized controlled trial of Take Charge! , a mentor‐implemented and research‐informed violence prevention program that partners with one‐on‐one community‐based mentoring agencies, only 50% of intervention youth with fight‐related injuries were successfully matched with a mentor. We examined the differences b…

I Used to Be Wild
Public health practice involving adolescents is largely focused on preventing or delaying the initiation of risk behavior. However, given the experimental and exploratory nature of this developmental period, this is often impractical. This article focuses on behavioral transitions and the ways in which youth involved in risk behaviors shift to more promotive behaviors. Based on a positive youth development perspective, in-depth interviews with ur…
The School Assessment for Environmental Typology (SAfETy)
School safety is of great concern for prevention researchers, school officials, parents, and students, yet there are a dearth of assessments that have operationalized school safety from an organizational framework using objective tools and measures. Such a tool would be important for deriving unbiased assessments of the school environment, which in turn could be used as an evaluative tool for school violence prevention efforts. The current paper …
