High prevalence of criminal legal involvement among non-fatally injured ED patients – an exploratory retrospective observational cohort analysis
BACKGROUND: Individuals who have been incarcerated are at high risk of death by homicide after release from carceral settings. Our study aimed to assess the prevalence of criminal legal system involvement (CLSI) among non-fatal violently injured patients enrolled in a hospital-based violence intervention (HVIP) program and describe demographic and clinical characteristics specific to this population. METHODS: This is an exploratory retrospective …
Perceived Discrimination, Experiences of Trauma, and Psychological Functioning Among Juvenile Court‐Involved Youth
Introduction Juvenile court‐involved youth (JCIY) experience unique mental health needs, which may be related to disproportionate experiences of trauma and discrimination; however, our understanding of these relationships continues to evolve. Our objective was to examine links between perceived discrimination, experiences of trauma, and multiple aspects of psychological functioning among JCIY. Methods We administered cross‐sectional surveys to 99…
Applying the practical, robust, implementation and sustainability model (PRISM) to a community-based youth participatory action research program
Using PRISM, we describe historical, cultural, and environmental factors supporting implementation of YLIA+. Conducting similar research in larger samples can allow assessment of effectiveness and implementation outcomes, providing insights into factors that differentially impact youths' experiences in the program
Trainee perspectives on diversity, equity, and inclusion
Growing work highlights the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in graduate medical education. Few studies have employed participatory research approaches to solicit trainee perspectives related to DEI. Our goal was to utilize group concept mapping (GCM), a mixed-methods participatory research approach, to describe resident perspectives on DEI within a large pediatric residency program. To organize and represent their…
Implementation evaluation of a community‐based youth participatory action research program
Youth participatory action research (YPAR), a method in which young people are engaged as research partners and change agents, offers a powerful paradigm to promote empowerment and liberation. YPAR interventions have been applied in diverse settings to address various issues. Identifying barriers and facilitators to implementing YPAR programs may increase the scope and impact of this study. Implementation and dissemination science (IDS) utilizes …
Psychological empowerment and future orientation among adolescents in a youth participatory action research program
Youth participatory action research (YPAR) empowers youth to address challenges in their environment. Empowerment is associated with prosocial behaviors; however, understanding of how empowerment may serve as a protective factor and promote emotional health remains limited. We sought to characterize protective factors (future orientation and resilience) and emotional health (difficulties regulating emotion and psychological distress) among youth …
