Training outcomes of a social determinants of mental health-focused fieldwork course
We conducted a concurrent nested mixed-methods exploration of counselor trainee outcomes of a social determinants of mental health (SDMH)-focused fieldwork course. Seven trainees completed a pre-/post-course SDMH competence scale and nine weekly journal entries. Results of a paired samples t-test and deductive content analysis suggest increased SDMH competence and efforts to learn about and address clients' SDMH challenges throughout the semester…
The Relationship Between Anti-Mattering Perceptions and Social Health Among University Students
This study investigated the effect of anti-mattering perceptions on social health levels among university students in Turkey. A total of 494 university students, including 311 domestic and 183 immigrants from Syria, participated in the study. Anti-mattering and social health scales were used to collect data. The LIFESCREEN for College Students (TLS-C) is an 18-item scale that measures the social health needs of college students, the measure is gu…
Longitudinal associations between well-being and academic achievement throughout the Covid-19 pandemic: Testing the moderating role of academic stress among first-generation and continuing college stu…
First-generation and ethnic-racial minoritized college students experience greater academic disparities, but limited work has focused on intersectional experiences underlying academic achievement in higher education during the COVID-19 pandemic over time. The current longitudinal study examined the associations between various forms of well-being (i.e., emotional, psychological, and social) at T1 (Time 1; acute pandemic) predicting academic achie…

School counseling district leaders’ experiences with anti–DEI laws and policies: A phenomenological investigation
School counseling district leaders (SCDLs) are instrumental in shaping district policy, supporting school counselors, and interfacing with both internal and external constituents; as such, their systemic lens is of particular importance, given the K‐12 pushback on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) occurring at the state‐ and district‐levels. As a result, we conducted a critical application of Husserl's phenomenology to understand the collect…
Cultural Socialization and Civic Engagement Among Racially Diverse Students of Color: Examining Ethnic-Racial Identity Components as Mediators and Neighborhood Racial Composition as a Moderator
Understanding the factors that promote civic engagement among emerging adult college students is crucial, especially considering its association with positive youth development. The current study examined ethnic-racial identity (ERI) exploration, resolution, and affirmation as mediators of the relation between cultural socialization and civic engagement. Additionally, the extent to which students were raised in predominantly minoritized neighborh…
Family Counselors Addressing Social Determinants of Mental Health in Underserved Communities
Couple and family counselors (CFCs) practicing in underserved communities must be aware of and properly address social determinants of mental health (SDOMH). This conceptual manuscript offers an explanation of how the SDOMH domains impact families in underserved communities and provide evidence-based recommendations for infusing SDOMH into family counseling through the ecological social justice counseling theory, adapted for couple and family cou…
Public safety redefined: Mitigating trauma by centering the community in community mental health
The summer of 2020 marked a shift in public perception of police brutality and racism in the United States. Following the police murder of George Floyd and ensuing social unrest, the appropriate role and function of the police in communities have been a frequent topic of debate. Of particular concern is the intersection of policing and mental health where we see a pattern of police using excessive force disproportionately against persons with dis…

Exploring school counselors' and interns' socioeconomic construct understanding and awareness
Nine professional school counselors (PSCs) and eight school counseling interns in training (SCIT) participated in semi-structured interviews to explore their understanding and awareness of socioeconomic constructs that influence a range of social, emotional, and academic outcomes for youth. Findings suggest that participants in both groups displayed advanced cognitive complexity of constructs, more SCIT focused on the micro-level of economic stab…

The current study tested whether COVID-19 disruptions and perceived discrimination were related to mental health (i.e., posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD] symptoms and emotional, psychological, and social well-being), and whether exercise moderated relations. Additionally, we tested whether findings varied by ethnicity/race. Participants were 368 African American and Asian American emerging adults ( Mage = 19.92, SD = .34). Findings did not var…
Interprofessional Collaboration and Telehealth: Useful Strategies for Family Counselors in Rural and Underserved Areas
Families and children in rural areas are at a greater risk for poor health outcomes because of inaccessible health care systems. The barriers that limit access are noted as cost of health care, access, lack of insurance, and other issues related to living in rural America. A promising approach to minimize these barriers is interprofessional collaboration (IPC) and telehealth. The World Health Organization noted that IPC and telehealth is a promis…

The 1980 Image-Index Survey of Latin American Political Democracy
Every five years a survey of this sort is attempted with the goal of reflecting the “democratic weathervane” of Latin American politics. Since Russell Fitzgibbon launched the experiment in 1945, regular attempts have been made to tap the minds of expert panelists in a reputational evaluation of which countries are the most and least democratic. Many Latin American nations claim that political democracy is their goal (my understanding of democracy…

Socio-economic Groups and Income Distribution in Mexico
In almost all Latin American semi-industrialised countries the high rate of economic growth over the past 25 years has been accompanied by an increase in income inequality. To a certain extent this is inevitable because productivity in the so-called modern sectors tends to rise faster than in traditional sectors. On the other hand, effective policies do exist to reduce the inequality of income distribution or at least to keep it from becoming mor…
In Memoriam: Russell H. Fitzgibbon 1902–1979
Many will remember Russell Fitzgibbon as the scholar who pioneered a controversial"measurement of democracy" scheme, one that will be the subject of social science debate well into the future. Others may remember him also as their mentor, the teacher who produced more Latin American specialists, perhaps, than any other scholar of note within political science and related disciplines. He was as towering in his scholarly influence as he was diminut…

Scholarly Images of Latin American Political Democracy in 1975
As practiced contemporaneously in most of Latin America, political democracy is more accurately elite governance, with many of the thornier authoritarian trappings cloaked behind an often transparent facade of "popular suffrage" and "parliamentary government." Democracy, as a normative basis for the "good life," is difficult to describe and conceptualize, especially when one assumes that the democratic prototype is to be discovered somewhere with…

Social scientists are finding an increasingly useful and stimulating tool in the application of statistical techniques to their problems. As in the employment of any new tool, both the utility and the limitations of this one must be learned. It seems beyond reasonable doubt, however, that quantification of data in the social sciences will become a more widely used and rewarding procedure as time goes on.Prudence dictates that stress be laid on it…

Ideological Correlates of Right Wing Political Alienation in Mexico
Evaluations of single-party democracy in Mexico have yielded a substantial literature from the researches of contemporary scholars. Their primary subjects of treatment have been the institutionalized agents of moderation and compromise that have made Mexico one of Latin America's more stable political systems. In prosecuting these studies, however, only scant attention has been given to political groups outside the officially sanctioned "revoluti…

Political Radicalism in Colombia: Electoral Dynamics of 1962 and 1964
Who is to blame when the political rhythm of an organized society slips into atrophy and chaos? This enigmatic question towers in the background of recent Colombian history. A country of relative political stability since the birth of Liberalism in the 1930's, Colombia's political life was suddenly rent in 1948 by a horrendous bloodletting which threatened to raze Bogotá and plunged the nation into anarchy. The real villain, wrote Vernon Fluharty…
