Organizational Arrangements in Evidence2Success Communities
Building healthy communities requires organizational arrangements that center on resident and community assets while using data to guide decisions. This study examines how the Evidence2Success framework was implemented in three communities, Kearns, UT, Mobile, AL, and Memphis, TN, to understand how citizen-led asset mapping, coalition processes, and funding strategies shape youth well-being efforts. Using an interpretive case-study design, we ana…
Understanding community‐ and system‐capacity change over time
Evidence in majority White and low‐population areas suggest that community prevention systems can create social capital that is needed to support high‐quality implementation and sustainability of evidence‐based programs. This study expands prior work by asking the question: How does community social capital change during the implementation of a community prevention system in low‐income, highly populated communities of color? Data were collected f…
Cultural Orientation Gaps Within a Family Systems Perspective
The intersection of a family's heritage culture and new mainstream cultural norms results in person-to-person differences in values, beliefs, and behaviors, particularly among immigrant families. These differences often lead to divergent cultural views and patterns of behavior both within and between family members. According to the acculturation gap distress hypothesis, these cultural orientation gaps between family members have consequences for…
Cytokine Patterns in Healthy Adolescent Girls
BACKGROUND: Little is known about variation in individual cytokines/cytokine profiles for a large healthy, pediatric population. When cytokines in a healthy group are not abnormally high as in a disease state, it is challenging to determine appropriate statistical strategies. The aims of the study were (1) to describe variation among cytokine concentrations and profiles in healthy adolescent girls, (2) to illustrate utility of data reduction appr…
Integrating mindfulness with parent training
There is growing support for the efficacy of mindfulness training with parents as an intervention technique to improve parenting skills and reduce risk for youth problem behaviors. The evidence, however, has been limited to small scale studies, many with methodological shortcomings. This study sought to integrate mindfulness training with parents into the Strengthening Families Program: For Parents and Youth 10-14 (SFP 10-14), an empirically-vali…
A developmental-contextual model of depressive symptoms in Mexican-origin female adolescents
The current study tested a developmental-contextual model of depressive symptomatology among Mexican-origin, female early and middle adolescents and their mothers. The final sample comprised 271 dyads. We examined the interrelations among cultural (i.e., acculturation dissonance), developmental (i.e., pubertal development and autonomy expectation discrepancies), and interpersonal (i.e., mother-daughter conflict and maternal supportive parenting) …
Family Correlates of Adjustment Profiles in Mexican-Origin Female Adolescents
This study used a person-centered approach to examine patterns of adjustment along psychological (i.e., depression, self-esteem, anxiety) and academic (i.e., academic motivation) domains in a sample ( N = 338) of Mexican-origin female adolescents. Four adjustment profiles were identified. A High Functioning ( n = 173) group, which exhibited high positive adjustment and academic functioning, an Average Functioning ( n = 83) group, which exhibited …
Variable-Centered and Person-Centered Approaches to Studying Mexican-Origin Mother–Daughter Cultural Orientation Dissonance
Parenting and Neighborhood Predictors of Youth Problem Behaviors Within Hispanic Families
This study examined the influence of family and neighborhood contexts on Hispanic youth problem behavior. The effects of parents' perceptions of neighborhood context and parenting practices on problem behavior were examined in 167 one-parent ( n = 75) and two-parent ( n = 92) families. Results from multigroup path analyses showed significant main effects of perceived neighborhood context on parenting practices and on youth problem behavior and si…
