    Open Access•Chelsea L Derlan, Emma Fontaine et al.•ARTICLE•Youth Violence and Juvenile Justice•2026

    The current study examined whether adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) were associated with justice involvement among Black adolescents, and whether internal developmental assets (i.e., positive values, social competencies, positive identity, and commitment to learning) and external developmental assets (i.e., support, empowerment, boundaries and expectations, and constructive use of time) moderated these relations. Gender differences were also …

  • A Qualitative Scoping Review of Community Firearm Violence in Low-Income Settings

    Open Access•Colleen S Walsh, Terri N Sullivan et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Community Health•2025

    Firearm violence is a public health crisis in the United States that disproportionately impacts community members in low-income areas who witness and experience violence and violent victimization at elevated rates compared to other socioeconomic groups, often as result of community disinvestment and systemic racism (Smith et al., Soc Sci Med 246:112587, 2020). While quantitative reviews of firearm violence and related factors exist, a review of q…

    Open Access•Colleen S Walsh, Katherine M Ro et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Child & Adolescent…•2025

    Exposure to violence has a devastating impact on youth well-being. In urban communities with high rates of violence, negative outcomes are exacerbated by co-occurring rates of poverty and lack of resources and opportunities for youth. Recent studies highlight social media as a conduit for youth violence, though understanding online exposure to violence for youth and adults in urban communities is relatively understudied. Research on youth and adu…

  • Longitudinal Associations Between Peer Risk and Promotive Factors and Exposure to Community Firearm Violence Among Black Adolescents

    Open Access•Colleen S Walsh, Terri N Sullivan et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Community Psychology•2025•References: 48

    Firearm violence is pervasive for Black early adolescents in disinvested urban communities. The current study used a subsample of a longitudinal school‐based dataset ( N = 479, ages 10–17, 100% Black), which included middle school students from three urban communities who completed surveys at two time points (Fall, Spring). Cross‐lagged panel models were run to specify the directionality of relations between five firearm exposure items and four p…

    Open Access•Chelsea L Derlan, Diamond Y Bravo et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Research on Adolescence•2024•References: 31

    The current study examined whether adverse childhood experiences and racial discrimination predicted adolescents' internal developmental assets, external developmental assets, and depressive symptoms. We also tested whether these relations were buffered by aspects of caregivers' reports of ethnic-racial socialization efforts (i.e., cultural socialization and preparation for bias). Participants were Black adolescents 12 to 17 years of age (Mage = …

    This study identified risk, promotive, and protective factors for handgun carriage among 265 primarily African American adolescents ( Mage = 14.3) living in low-income urban areas.

  • Identification of Promotive and Protective Factors for Young Adults Living in Concentrated Disadvantage

    Open Access•Katherine M Ro, Diane L Bishop et al.•ARTICLE•Youth & Society•2023•References: 39

    Violence is a major public health concern that particularly impacts Black young adults living in under-resourced, urban communities. There is limited research on promotive and protective factors that mitigate the impact of violence exposure on aggressive behavior. This study aims to address this gap by exploring positive factors across the ecological model in a sample of 141 predominantly Black young adults ages 18 to 22 years living in low-incom…

  • Implications of intergenerational trauma: Associations between caregiver ACEs and child internalizing symptoms in an urban African American sample

    Findings demonstrate that higher levels of caregiver ACE exposure are associated with their child's PTSD symptoms in a sample of African American dyads living in urban, high-burden communities. These results suggest a need for ACE screening during medical visits and provides guidance for future clinical interventions. The distinct intergenerational consequences for caregivers with ACEs and their children's psychosocial wellbeing warrant further s…
