Parenting and social support: Caregiver strain in social context for low-income Black mothers
14), chronic strain was embedded within complex experiences of parenting, social support, and societal context (e.g., poverty, neighborhood disinvestment and safety concerns, racism). Social support was critical but insufficient to meet their needs, particularly among mothers describing greater levels of strain. The framework developed may serve as a clinical tool to understand, map, gather data, and highlight areas to counter marginalization and…

Dynamics of Youth Violence and the Prevention Efforts of Fútbol for Good Programs in Colombia
Perceived Stress, Executive Function, and Stress Regulation: Implications for Middle Schoolers’ Emotional and Behavioral Well-being
Middle schoolers with or at risk for emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) typically have a trajectory of difficult outcomes (e.g., school dropout, incarceration). Growing evidence suggests that the continuum of behavioral competence to challenges is closely linked to students’ neurocognitive executive function (EF) capacities, perceived stress (e.g., peers, school), and ability to navigate stressful situations; yet research with students with…
Ethnic Discrimination in Social Media and Depressive Symptoms Among Hispanic Emerging Adult College Students: Examining the Moderating Roles of Emotion Self-Efficacy and Locus of Control
With the rise of social media and the potential for ethnic discrimination on these platforms, this study examined the relationship between depressive symptoms, social media discrimination, 'powerful others,' and emotional self-efficacy with a convenience sample of 628 Hispanic emerging adult college students from Florida ( n = 401) and Texas ( n = 227). Results from a hierarchical multiple regression model indicate that higher social media discri…
A picture worth more than one thousand words: A 30-year review of photovoice representation disparities in psychiatric research
and previous research informed search terms; the search year began in 1992 when Photovoice was created. Fourteen studies met the criteria: original peer-reviewed journal articles, written or translated into English, conducted in the United States, and described exclusively as Photovoice with at least 50% of participants meeting the diagnostic criteria for severe mental illnesses, internalizing disorders, or substance use disorders. Participant so…
It Validates Her Identity”: A Mixed Methods Approach to Examining Culture, Context, and Family Engagement in an Urban Afterschool Program for Black and Hispanic Girls
Neighborhood OST (out-of-school-time) programs can provide a safe and accessible setting and promote positive youth development for Black and Hispanic girls in under-resourced communities. The present mixed-methods study examined program-level cultural and contextual influences in family engagement among 24 girl-caregiver dyads (aged 11–15, 83% Black, 13% Hispanic) in a partnering OST program, Girl Power Rocks, Inc. While quantitative analyses mi…
Promoting work-related well-being of after-school staff via effectiveness and connectedness: A Mixed Method Study
Executive Function, Perceived Stress, and Academic Performance Among Middle Schoolers With and Without Behavior Problems
Students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) characteristically experience academic difficulties. There is growing evidence that the continuum from academic competence to underachievement is partially explained by executive function (EF; neurocognitive attention-regulation processes) and stress. Yet, there is scarce research investigating these relationships among students with or at risk for EBD, especially during the elevated stress a…
Community Fútbol Coaches Working Together to Prevent Violence and Promote Positive Youth Development in Colombia
In resource‐limited settings in Colombia, there is a lack of safe spaces for youth, with adolescent males being 10 times more susceptible to physical violence than females. Acknowledging the potential of community‐led sports‐based interventions, we examined how community fútbol (a.k.a. soccer or football) coaches in the Caribbean region of Colombia prevent youth violence exposure. By conducting in‐depth qualitative interviews with 13 community co…
Teachers as first responders in marginalized, urban communities: Stress and coping during unprecedented times for public education
A Call to Action on Assessing and Mitigating Bias in Artificial Intelligence Applications for Mental Health
Advances in computer science and data-analytic methods are driving a new era in mental health research and application. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies hold the potential to enhance the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of people experiencing mental health problems and to increase the reach and impact of mental health care. However, AI applications will not mitigate mental health disparities if they are built from historical data tha…
Colombian Adolescents’ Perceptions of Violence and Opportunities for Safe Spaces Across Community Settings
During adolescence, access to safe environments is critical for healthy development. This study analyzed adolescents’ perceptions of safety in personal and public spaces in the semi-rural community of Santa Ana, Colombia on the Island of Barú (95.8% of inhabitants live in poverty). We used thematic analysis to explore adolescents’ experiences and reflections to identify the factors influencing their perception of safety across different community…
Bridging simulation technology with positive behavioral supports to promote student engagement and behavior
Device-Based Movement Behaviors, Executive Function, and Academic Skills among African American Children with ADHD and Disruptive Behavior Disorders
Vigorous PA may prove useful as an adjunct treatment to improve EF in African American children with ADHD and DBD in low-income neighborhoods. Research using experimental and longitudinal designs, and examining qualitative features of PA experiences, will be critical for understanding relationships between PA, academic skills, and EF in this population
The Interactive Virtual Training for Teachers (IVT-T) to Practice Classroom Behavior Management
Promoting healthy trajectories for urban middle school youth through county‐funded, parks‐based after‐school programming
Ongoing pressure for public schools to prioritize academics has increased attention on after‐school settings as a critical space for social‐emotional learning (SEL). After‐school programs are uniquely positioned to build protective and promotive factors that contribute to positive future orientation, especially within communities where systemic inequities create barriers to high school graduation, higher education, employment, and earnings. This …

Workforce Support for Urban After‐School Programs: Turning Obstacles into Opportunities
Highlights Resource and workforce challenges impede adoption of evidence‐based practice in after‐school programs. Academic–community partnerships inform recommendations that align with individual program goals. We describe a three‐tiered approach to workforce support with online, workshop, and on‐site components.

Youth care workers perceive that youth have unique experiences and needs related to sexual health programming and pregnancy prevention. Reflecting a great deal of fami…
Channels of Change: Contrasting Network Mechanisms in the Use of Interventions
This study informs community science, and seeks to narrow the research-to-practice gap, by examining how the interpersonal networks within a setting influence individuals' use of interventions. More specifically, it explores the role of two network mechanisms-cohesion and structural similarity-in urban elementary school teachers' use of interventions designed to improve academic and behavioral outcomes for students. Lagged regression models exami…

Can't have one without the other: Mental health providers and community parents reducing barriers to services for families in urban poverty
University–community partnerships are widely recognized as critical to the success of community research and advocacy work but difficult to form and sustain. This article will describe a unique facet of that partnership, namely the collaboration between mental health clinicians and community consultants, a partnership that our data suggest was a cornerstone of our school‐based mental health service program called PALS, an ecological model designe…
