One goal of survey research is to optimize sampling procedures so that the collected data will produce accurate population estimates. In this context, sampling bias is a primary threat to a study's validity. If individuals who do not respond are a random sample of the population, then the estimates obtained from such a subsample are unbiased. However, as the percentage of nonrespondents increases, the assumption of unbiased estimation becomes inc…
Finding Meaning in a Child's Violent Death
Finding meaning in the death of a loved one is thought to be extremely traumatic when the circumstances surrounding the death is perceived to be due to negligence, is intentional, and when the deceased suffered extreme pain and bodily harm immediately prior to death. We addressed this assumption by obtaining personal narratives and empirical data from 138 parents 4, 12, 24, and 60 months after an adolescent's or young adult child's death by accid…
Bereaved Parents' Outcomes 4 to 60 Months After Their Children's Deaths by Accident, Suicide, or Homicide
In this article, the authors revisit a controversial issue in the bereavement field: Does one violent cause of death of a child influence parents' outcomes more than another? To address this question, we observed 173 parents prospectively 4, 12, 24, and 60 months after their children's deaths by accident, suicide, or homicide. Quantitative and qualitative research methods were used to examine the influence of three types of a child's violent deat…
Bereaved Parentsʼ Use of Individual, Family, and Community Resources 4 to 60 Months After a Childʼs Violent Death
We recruited a community-based sample of 261 parents bereaved by the violent deaths of their 12- to 28-year-old children. Parents were observed over time, and data were collected from several sources. The findings showed that of six individual, family, and community resources examined, none of the resources seemed to improve parents' outcomes either 1 or 5 years later. Implications of the findings are discussed
Coping Strategies Following a Child's Violent Death
This study examined coping strategies used by bereaved parents whose adolescent and young adult children died by accident, suicide, or homicide. Death event data were verified from Medical Examiner's records. A community-based sample of 261 parents was recruited 6 to 28 weeks following the deaths and followed prospectively up to five years postdeath. Coping data were obtained five times during the study, using COPE, a 53-item standardized questio…
Outcomes of a Leadership Intervention for a Metropolitan Fire Department
Poor leadership can contribute to job dissatisfaction and employees' "burnout." Perceived lack of leadership skills is also a source of stress for supervisors. This study evaluated the efficacy of a brief multicomponent leadership intervention provided for fire service supervisors in an urban fire department. Ratings by 51 line firefighters and 8 first-line supervisors documented improvements in their immediate supervisors' performance at 3 mo. p…
Parents' evaluation of a preventive intervention following the sudden, violent deaths of their children
A preventive intervention for 156 bereaved parents whose 12- to 28-year-old children died by accident, homicide, or suicide was tested using a multisite longitudinal cohort pretest/posttest experimental design. Reported here are bereaved parents' evaluations of the two-dimensional support program. Problem-focused support was rated by parents' perceptions of readiness, relevance, timing, and understanding of the information and skills presented. E…
Men I Mess with Don't Have Anything to do with Aids
Pivotal in HIV/STD intervention and prevention is how individuals perceive risk. This article discusses how ethnotheory can be used to understand the underpinnings of risk perception from the subject's perspective. Ethnotheory's theoretical and methodological character extends present models used to explain sex-related HIV behaviors and provides insights into risk perception useful for the development of effective intervention strategies. Four de…
