Hunger in Our Communities: Qualitative Provider Perspectives on Food Justice for Families in the United States
Food insecurity has increased among households with children in urban settings in the United States. Up-to-date information on the major challenges and facilitators to reducing food insecurity is needed. This qualitative study provides cross-agency perspectives on the major barriers and facilitators to food security. In-depth interviews were conducted with n = 6 service staff and volunteers recruited from community food assistance agencies in one…
Bridging Gaps: Provider Perspectives on Integrating Systems for Health Equity
Health equity is shaped by multiple factors intersecting with service delivery in community-based organizations (CBOs). Providers in under-resourced areas are often the first point of contact for families seeking child development, mental health, and behavioral support. However, system-level barriers hinder service delivery and access. This study explores provider perspectives to identify barriers and inform system-level changes that promote equi…
Lower Perceived Neighborhood Collective Efficacy Indirectly Influences the Association Between Perceived Maternal Exposure to Community Violence and Household Food Insecurity
Community-based efforts to reduce household food insecurity should emphasize building social cohesion and trust in communities experiencing violence
Balancing nutrition and budgets: Socio-ecological impacts on nutritional environments of families with low incomes
Adversity and child body mass index in Fragile Families over 15 years: Do type and timing matter
Findings highlight the differential influence of past adversity type and timing on child BMI. Interpersonal and community adversity were associated with decreased BMIz, and economic adversity with increased BMIz. Differences in directionality of associations suggest research should capture multiple dimensions of adversity in early childhood and possible positive and negative trends in effects on child weight as children grow from early to mid-chi…
Neglect, Abuse, and Adaptive Functioning: Food Security and Housing Stability as Protective Factors for Adolescents
This study addresses gaps in knowledge of protective factors that support adaptive functioning among maltreated adolescents. The sample included 1003 high-risk youths participating in the Longitudinal Studies of Child Abuse and Neglect (53% female, 56% Black, and 82% living in poverty). Adolescent neglect (Exposure to Risky Situations, Lack of Monitoring, Inattention to Basic Needs, Permitting Misbehavior, Lack of Support) and physical, sexual, a…
Material hardship among custodial grandparents in Covid-19 and its associations with Grandchildren’s physical and mental health: A latent class analysis
Economic hardship and child intake of foods high in saturated fats and added sugars: The mediating role of parenting stress among high-risk families
Objective: Economic hardship (EH) may link to poorer child diet, however whether this association is due to resource limitations or effects on family functioning is unknown. This study examines whether parenting stress mediates the association between EH and child consumption of foods high in saturated fats and added sugars (SFAS). Design: Data were collected from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing study. EH was assessed using eight items c…
Stability and Change in Early Life Economic Hardship Trajectories and the Role of Sex in Predicting Adolescent Overweight/Obesity
Adolescent Physical Activity Disparities by Parent Nativity Status: The Role of Social Support, Family Structure, and Economic Hardship
Social Workers' Perceptions of Training Preparedness and Social Justice Norms on Workplace Empowerment
This study examined the relationship between (a) social workers' perceptions of preparedness to perform in their professional roles and perceived social justice behaviors at work and (b) workers' sense of workplace empowerment. A sample of 152 currently licensed social workers responded to web or mailed surveys. Respondents were more likely to perceive having workplace empowerment related to meaning in their work if they reported their social wor…
Implementing a Modular Research-Supported Treatment in Child Welfare: Effects and Obstacles
Objective: Increasing rates of mental health needs in child welfare clients highlight the importance of training child welfare workers in effective mental health interventions. This pilot study evaluates the effects of training public child welfare workers and interns in modularized research-supported treatments (RSTs). Methods: We compared knowledge of and attitudes toward RSTs and barriers and facilitators to their use in a sample of 26 field i…
