Implementing a comprehensive behavioral health model for social, emotional, and behavioral development in an urban district
Urban communities are disproportionality impacted by issues such as community violence, leaving children at higher risk of trauma, and increased adverse childhood experiences. This applied study addresses a research‐to‐practice gap by demonstrating the longitudinal impact of a district‐initiated, school‐wide multitiered systems of support approach to universal instruction, intervention, and assessment—the Comprehensive Behavioral Health Model. Re…
Exploring Power
In an effort to understand the power that exists for those working in schools, the constructs of social privilege and social capital were empirically examined in order to understand their presence in a sample of university students enrolled in pre-service teacher-education or school psychology/counseling programs. This study examines the manifestations of these power constructs, and also examines the relationship between them. The findings, merge…
Comparing Communities
Social capital includes access to resources based on social networks, similar to how economic capital is access to fiscal resources. We explore ethnic social capital as a variant of social capital that includes the social resources that are available to a person as a result of being a member of an ethnic and cultural network. This study identifies the way that ethnic social capital is important for understanding the resilience of ethnic minority …
Opportunity for Unity collaborative
No community is immune to the devastating effects of youth violence, although some are disproportionately affected— particularly 10 to 24 year old males of African-American and Hispanic descent. This study examines one community's effort to reduce youth violence by hiring influential young adults and coordinating the work of community-based organizations that address the underpinnings of community violence (e.g., domestic violence, substance abus…
Toward a New Paradigm for Psychiatric Diagnoses and Clinical Research in Sexology
The growing acceptance of a biopsychiatric model for women's sexual health issues and the dramatic increase of pharmaceutical industry research funding over the last decade have both contributed to ethical and professional crises in sexology and psychiatry. Although conflict of interest (COI) policies deal with some of these issues, public trust is compromised in such an industry-dominated climate. This article describes why the lack of transpare…
Personal Epistemology of Urban Elementary School Teachers
Personal epistemology, originating from social construction theory, provides a framework for researchers to understand how individuals view their world. The Attitudes About Reality (AAR) scale is one survey method that qualitatively assesses personal epistemology along the logical positivist and social constructionist continuum; however, the literature primarily reflects women working in a mental health facility and undergraduate students. This s…
A Critical Examination of an Urban-Based Youth Empowerment Strategy
Youths from marginalized and disenfranchised communities can be empowered to advocate for social justice through civic engagement and sociopolitical action. Examining youth empowerment programs, using critical social theory, builds upon our understanding of sociopolitical systems and oppression and provides a lens to examine mechanisms of change while applying theory to practice. Jennings, Parra-Medina, Messias, and McLoughlin (2006 Jennings, L. …
