Personal Social Networks of Women with Justice-Involvement in Substance Use Treatment
Substance use disorder (SUD) is a key common correlate of criminal offending among women, yet few studies have explored their personal network characteristics, limiting our understanding of the social context in which justice-involved women with SUD are embedded. The present study interviewed 375 women with SUD, including 299 (80%) women with a history of justice involvement, from three county-funded, women-only intensive treatment programs in th…
Associations Between Traumatic Experiences and Mental Health Risk Profiles in Youth with Justice System Involvement
Research has shown that focusing on patterns across concurrent mental health problems may increase accuracy and treatment efficacy, potentially reducing further justice system involvement.

The purpose of this study was to identify mental health risk profiles of justice-involved youth. Se…

Hierarchical linear regression models were estimated to examine the relation…

Racial/ethnic differences have been previously identified, however less attention has been given to such differences among girls. Few studies have examined the relationship between subscale score and risk levels that are used to inform institutional responses. The purpose of this study was to describe racial dif…

This systematic review quantitatively and qualitatively examined the effectiveness of motivational interviewing (MI)-infused interventions. Methods: PRISMA guidelines were followed throughout. Results: 147 studies were initially identified, with nine meeting the final inclusion criteria. All studies blended MI with other interventions and were primarily located in triage se…

Finally, three overarching …

We conducted in-depth interviews with 15 bereaved mothers of a deceased child with childhood cancer. Thematic analysis identified 12 subthemes related to bereaved mothers' struggles in grief within three sig…
