Direct and Indirect Effects of Socioeconomic Status and Neighborhood Disadvantage on Mental Health
Stress is deleterious to mental and physical health and is experienced at differential rates by groups according to socioeconomic disadvantages, partially accounting for health inequities. Psychological sense of community may be one key mechanism in these causal chains, but its roles are complex and some remain poorly understood. This cross-sectional study examined the association of neighborhood disadvantage and household socioeconomic status (S…

Testing Relationships Between Racial-Ethnic Identity, Racial-Ethnic Discrimination, and Substance Misuse Among Black and Latinx Older Adults in a Nationally Representative Sample
Older adults (aged 55+) comprise a rapidly growing population both in number and racial-ethnic diversity. In recent years, substance misuse prevalence among older adults has increased and is expected to continue rising, highlighting the need to understand risk and protective factors in this population. Using nationally representative data, this study examines the association of racial-ethnic identity and racial-ethnic discrimination with alcohol …

Locational and Contextual Attributes of Opioid Overdoses in New Jersey

This study aimed to identify settings of nonfatal opioid overdose and their individual and community level predictors. Data from 3,326 overdose events show that residences are the most common overdose setting. Compared to overdoses occurring in residences, outdoor overdoses were more likely…
Measuring Youth Empowerment
Sociopolitical control (SPC) has been identified as a key element of the intrapersonal component of psychological empowerment. The Sociopolitical Control Scale (SPCS) is a widely used measure and has been modified for use among youth (SPCS‐Y). In light of the emerging interest in SPC among youth within community‐based research, this study applied item response theory (IRT) to examine the psychometric properties of the SPCS‐Y and to explore a brie…
A Case Study of SBIRT on A College Campus
Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is an evidence-based intervention that has been shown to reduce alcohol use. Extant literature has demonstrated that SBIRT can be effectively integrated and implemented in primary care settings. Relatively little research has focused on the implementation of SBIRT in college student health centers. The aim of this study was to identify challenges and facilitators of implementing SBI…

Measuring Sense of Community Responsibility in Community‐Based Prevention Coalitions
Research on sense of community (SOC) has traditionally been approached from a resource perspective. Recently, however, research on the experience of SOC has evolved to include a related but distinct construct of sense of community responsibility (SOC‐R), or feelings of accountability for the well‐being of a community. This study applied item response theory to examine the psychometric properties of a SOC‐R scale used in an evaluation of community…
