  • Intergenerational transmission of maternal childhood maltreatment, prenatal substance exposure, and internalizing and externalizing symptoms in early adolescence at age 12

    Open AccessMeeyoung O Min, June‐yung Kim et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2026

    BACKGROUND: Few studies have examined the intergenerational impact of maternal childhood maltreatment (MCM) in the context of prenatal substance exposure (PSE). This study investigates whether PSE is part of the pathway of MCM or an independent risk factor affecting offspring psychopathology. METHODS: Participants were 284 birth mother-child (44% male) dyads, primarily Black, low-income, enrolled at birth. Exposure to alcohol, tobacco, marijuana,…

  • Internal assets in low‐income urban adolescents from 12 to 17 years

    Open AccessMeeyoung O Min, Miyoung Yoon et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research on Adolescence2025References: 7

    Utilizing a birth cohort of primarily Black, low-income urban adolescents (N = 371), the present study investigated how internal assets might change over time with sex/gender as a moderator. Internal assets (commitment to learning, positive values, social competencies, positive identity) were assessed at ages 12, 15, and 17 via the Developmental Assets Profile. All internal asset domains decreased from 12 to 15 years in both boys and girls, excep…

  • Predictors of social emotional learning in after‐school programming

    Open AccessAmy E Fisher, Liat R Johnson et al.ARTICLEPsychology in the Schools2024

    After‐school youth development programs support social‐emotional functioning which leads to better academic and behavioral outcomes. This article examines three common predictors of social‐emotional functioning individually and concurrently to better understand the role of these predictors in the after‐school setting. The common predictors are staff/student relationships, sense of belonging, and program engagement. That data came from 144, 3rd th…

  • Substance use and individual assets in urban adolescents

    Open AccessMeeyoung O Min, June‐yung Kim et al.ARTICLEJournal of Adolescence2022

    INTRODUCTION: To investigate patterns of divergence in adolescent adjustment, this study examined the co-occurring patterns of adolescents' individual assets (e.g., school engagement, values) and substance use, and whether the co-occurring patterns were associated with later functioning in emerging adulthood. METHODS: Participants were 358 (54% females), predominantly African American, urban adolescents, recruited at birth for a prospective study…

  • Improving Surveillance and Epidemic Response in Ohio Childcare Settings

    Open AccessDarcy A Freedman, Timothy H Ciesielski et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    At the start of the Coronavirus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the risk of cases in childcare programs was unknown. Thus, a rapid-response research approach was launched in Ohio childcare settings. Passive surveillance data from a state-operated incident reporting system were evaluated to estimate the number of COVID-19 cases from 15 August 2020 to 1 January 2021. Additionally, active surveillance with self-administered reverse transcriptas…

  • Attitudinal Tolerance of Deviance in At-Risk Early Adolescents

    Open AccessJune‐yung Kim, Sonia Minnes et al.ARTICLEJournal of the Society for Social…2020References: 3

    Objective: Problem behavior theory hypothesizes that adolescent attitudinal tolerance of deviance (ATD) precedes health risk behaviors. We examined ATD patterns among early adolescents with prenatal drug exposure and associated the patterns with subsequent risk behaviors. The ATD patterns were further characterized by concurrent developmental contexts. Method: Participants were 306 urban adolescents (51% girls), primarily African American and of …

  • Violence Exposure and Early Substance Use in High-Risk Adolescents

    Julia M Kobulsky, Sonia Minnes et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Work Practice…2016

    This study examines the relationship between violence exposure and early substance use as mediated by trauma symptoms. The Assessment of Liability and Exposure to Substance Use and Antisocial Behavior Scale was used to assess violence exposure at age 10 and substance use by age 12. Mediation analysis indicated direct relationships between violence exposure and tobacco/illegal drug use and indirect relationships between violence exposure and girls…
