From the Beginning, a Lost Battle
Youth Lens methodology
Young people are rarely included in research & policy that affect their lives. • We conducted youth participatory action research with youth in Cleveland, Ohio. • We show how engaging with youth across all stages of research enriches the work. • Our collaborative research highlights challenges to youth well-being. Research on youth well-being is often driven by adult researcher voices, while youth experiences are neglected. Youth participatory ac…
Social Service Workers’ Use of Social Media to Obtain Client Information
To gain insight into current use of social-media platforms in human services delivery, we systematically surveyed 172 social-service workers from six agencies in a Midwest US city to gather data about social-media usage among social-service providers, potential challenges and benefits of using social media, and whether a social-media-based informatics platform could be valuable. Quantitative analyses showed that approximately half of participants…

NUMBER OF RESEARCH STUDIES MEETING THE CRITERIA FOR REVIEW: This review included studies that compared child maltrea…
Conceptualizing Social Determinants of Neighborhood Health through a Youth Lens
Opportunities to improve sleep of children exposed to interpersonal violence
Older Neighbors and The Neighborhood Context of Child Well‐Being
Drawing on Coleman’s concept of social capital, researchers have investigated how the quality of neighborhood social networks influences child development and well‐being. The role of non‐kin older neighbors in advancing child well‐being through the enhancement of social capital, however, has been under‐studied. Our objective was to delineate specific pathways through which non‐kin older neighbors contribute to neighborhood quality for children an…
The influence of neighborhood violent crime on child-rearing
Why does child maltreatment occur? Caregiver perspectives and analyses of neighborhood structural factors across twenty years
Two sides of the same neighborhood? Multilevel analysis of residents’ and child-welfare workers’ perspectives on neighborhood social disorder and collective efficacy
Neighborhood processes have been shown to influence child maltreatment rates, and accordingly neighborhood-based strategies have been suggested as helpful in intervening in and preventing child maltreatment. Although child-welfare workers are at the forefront of child maltreatment work, little is known about the extent to which their perspectives on neighborhood processes related to child maltreatment align with those of neighborhood residents. T…

How might neighborhood built environment influence child maltreatment? Caregiver perceptions
Lessons learned implementing community‐based comprehensive case management for families surviving homicide
Family members of homicide victims often experience a wide range of adverse reactions to the homicide. This study reports on the Traumatic Loss Response Team, a project conducted by a community‐based, mental‐health agency to provide comprehensive case‐management services to meet homicide survivors' complex needs. To conduct the study, we abstracted service/process data from open client cases in 2013 (most recent year with available data) and cond…

Clinically Significant Trauma Symptoms and Behavioral Problems in a Community-based Sample of Children Exposed to Domestic Violence
Children’s Perceptions of the Social Support of Neighborhood Institutions and Establishments
A study of children’s help-seeking behavior in 5 Cleveland, Ohio (USA) neighborhoods revealed the important role played by particular members of neighborhood institutions and establishments not commonly considered in research on children’s social networks: the school crossing guard, the librarian at the local public library branch, and the store owner/clerk at the neighborhood convenience store. These roles—above and beyond their “position descri…
We Don't Really Get to Go Out in the Front Yard’—children's Home Range and Neighborhood Violence
This comparison of the home range of sixty 7–11-year-old children in five Cleveland, OH, USA, neighborhoods with different levels of violence/crime revealed: (a) home range was a useful tool to study effects of neighborhoods on children; (b) neighborhood violence had differential effects on range, depending on child's gender, age, and range type. Among 7–9-year-olds, range ‘when alone’ or ‘with a friend’ was similar regardless of gender or level …
If I don't know them, I'll get killed probably
Violence has eroded the childhood environment of many children in US cities. This study examined 60 7- to 11-year-old children's neighborhood perceptions and help-seeking behavior in Cleveland, Ohio (USA) neighborhoods with different levels of violence/crime. Results showed that children of neighborhoods of both low and elevated levels of violence were exposed to violence and expressed concerns about victimization. In light of these concerns, chi…
