Translating the nuanced risk for substance use among adolescents treated for attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD ) into clinical practice
In their recent examination of the Monitoring the Future (MTF) data, McCabe et al. (Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2023) address the complex, longstanding, and clinically valuable questions of whether and how stimulant medication treatment for adolescents with ADHD relates to their risk for substance use. Here, we expand on the authors' interpretations of their nuanced findings of increased risk for illicit stimulant use and non‐pres…
Marginal structural models for estimating the longitudinal effects of community violence exposure on youths’ internalizing and externalizing symptoms
MSMs are a useful tool for researchers who rely on longitudinal observational data to estimate causal effects of time-varying exposures, as is often the case in the study of psychological trauma. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
What Happens After School? Linking Latino Adolescents’ Activities and Exposure to Community Violence
The role of relationship proximity to witnessed community violence and youth outcomes
AIMS: This study examines whether the relational proximity to the victim or perpetrator of witnessed community violence is associated with youth symptoms. METHODS: Data come from the Longitudinal Studies of Child Abuse and Neglect, a national high-risk sample. The sample included 12-year-old youth (N = 720) who had witnessed violence in their lifetimes. Ordinary least squares (OLS) regressions tested whether relationship proximity differentiated …
The role of academic mentors for Latino/a adolescents exposed to community violence
AIMS: We examined the protective role of academic mentors for Latino/a youth exposed to community violence. We tested whether the mentor facilitation of positive growth and mentor school involvement moderated the relations between exposure to violence and Latino/a youth's educational values, school effort, and academic efficacy. METHODS: We used hierarchical linear regressions to examine these relations among 210 Latino/a high school students. RE…
Fathers with Childhood ADHD, Parenting, and Their Young Children’s Behavior
Emotionally numb
Community violence exposure (CVE) is associated with numerous psychosocial outcomes among youth. Although linear, cumulative effects models have typically been used to describe these relations, emerging evidence suggests the presence of curvilinear associations that may represent a pattern of emotional desensitization among youth exposed to chronic community violence. This study uses longitudinal data to investigate relations between CVE and both…
Latino Adolescents' Community Violence Exposure
Low‐income, urban adolescents are exposed to extremely high rates of witnessing and being victimized by community violence. Such violence exposure presents serious implications for youth's development and psychological well‐being. In a sample of 223 ninth‐grade Latino adolescents, we examine: (1) what types of after‐school activity participation increase or reduce adolescents' risk for violence exposure and (2) the role of the cultural value of f…
