School Reentry
As schools take on more responsibility for promoting student mental health, there is an increasing focus on how educational policies and practices enhance psychological well-being. However, research has yet to fully examine how alternative school environments support student mental health, especially for those facing structural inequities related to exclusionary discipline and system involvement. This exploratory qualitative case study examined h…
To Whom Do These Results Apply? Assessing Evidence for the Generalizability of Social and Emotional Learning Programs Among Specific Racial and Ethnic Groups
Social and emotional learning (SEL) programs are widely used, yet concerns have arisen about whether the evidence for these programs extends to students of color (SOC). The data in this study include published articles (n = 158) of trials (n = 97) of SEL interventions (n = 32) from the CASEL SELect list of evidence-based SEL programs. Using racial frames common in intervention research, we examined the extent of SOC representation in SEL interven…
Time Scarcity, Health Behaviors, and Unconditional Cash in Los Angeles
Unconditional cash interventions, such as guaranteed income, are a proposed solution for mediating the adverse health outcomes associated with financial scarcity. To test this, the City of Los Angeles, California, conducted a mixed-methods, randomized controlled trial in which they gave 3202 people $1000 with no strings attached for 12 months in 2022. Although the quantitative findings demonstrated mixed health effects, the qualitative findings h…
Evaluation of Services for the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children and Youth
Commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) of youth is a public health issue with multiple negative consequences. Despite the complexities and comprehensiveness of service needs for youth experiencing CSE, the evidence base of effective services and programs lags far behind. This scoping review seeks to identify the most up-to-date evidence on programs for youth experiencing CSE that have been evaluated and found to be effective. We conducted a scoping…
The Promise of Racial Healing to Achieve Health Equity Through School-Based Prevention
The Influence of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) on the Functional Impairment of Justice-Involved Adolescents
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have long been recognized for negatively influencing individual outcomes such that each additional ACE exposure increases the risk for negative health and behavioral outcomes. Little is known, however, about how the more recent accumulation of ACEs occurring in follow-up periods influence global functioning considering the past accumulation of ACEs reported at baseline by justice-involved adolescents. Particip…
The Influence of Familial and Peer Social Support on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Among Black Girls in Juvenile Correctional Facilities
Black girls bear a higher burden of juvenile justice involvement in the United States, relative to other racial/ethnic female groups. Emerging evidence suggests that system involvement is related to trauma histories and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This study investigated the associations between individual, family, and peer factors, and their relationship to PTSD among Black girls with juvenile justice involvement. Cross-sectional data…
School Engagement Among Youth Entering Probation
The school-to-prison pipeline for probation youth with special education needs
Juvenile justice-involved youth with special education eligibility may have distinct needs from other justice-involved youth that place them at higher risk of re-offending. This study examines the extent to which the comorbidity of risk factors, such as school challenges and mental and emotional health problems, is related to recidivism among probation youth with a diagnosis eligible for special education. Data came from the Washington State Juve…
Perceived Racial Discrimination and Mental Health in Diverse Groups of Asian Americans
Exploring Predictors of Service Use Among Youth Experiencing Homelessness
A longitudinal examination of African American adolescent females detained for status offense
Classifying Changes to Preventive Interventions
Longitudinal associations among depression, substance abuse, and crime
Multilevel Structural Equation Modeling for Social Work Researchers
Objective: To achieve the grand challenge goal of unleashing the power of prevention, we must determine how and under what conditions an intervention leads to desired outcomes. These questions remain largely unknown partly due to analytical challenges involving testing mediation and moderation hypotheses with multiple dependent variables in nested data. This paper introduces multilevel structural equation modeling (MSEM) and demonstrates multilev…
Efficient Implementation Monitoring in Routine Prevention Practice
Objective: Monitoring the implementation of preventive interventions in schools is challenging for educators and school social workers. This study sought to verify the implementation–outcome relationship; determine whether implementer characteristics predict participation in implementation-monitoring protocols; and suggest the number of (a) implementers requiring monitoring, (b) planned observations per implementer, and (c) items rated within eac…
Ecologies of risk among African American girls in juvenile detention
Examining protective factors against violence among high-risk youth
Assessing Sustained Effects of Communities That Care on Youth Protective Factors
Greater emphasis on strengthening protective factors during high school might be needed to sustain broad effects of CTC on protective factors observed during middle school
