Developing a Screen for Foster Care and the Risk of Homelessness
Engaging, empowering, and connecting youth with foster care histories
Interventions for youth with foster care experiences can be vital in supporting youth as they transition out of care. The BraveLife Intervention (BLI), is a youth-centered, strength-based program developed to empower youth. This study examined the impact of BLI on perceived support, empowerment, self-advocacy, self-esteem, and resiliency for at-risk youth aged fourteen to twenty-one years. A repeated measures ANOVA for youth who stayed with the B…

Neighborhood Income Inequality and Alcohol Use among Adolescents in Boston, Massachusetts

Subjective Well-Being, Critical Race Theory, and the Assessment of Measurement Invariance Across Racial Groups
The present study explores how Black and White youth respond to measures of subjective well-being within the context of critical race theory (CRT). Three levels of measurement invariance (i.e., configural, metric and scalar) were examined for indicators of subjective well-being. We hypothesized that there would be limited measurement invariance across groups based on the premise established by CRT that youth of color experience and perceive life …

African American and European American female participants in the 2000 Social Capital Benchmark Survey provided the da…
The Bystander Approach
Bystander intervention is described as a promising approach for social workers engaged with groups labeled "at risk" for perpetrating sexual violence. An exploratory study was conducted with one at-risk group, student-athletes, to determine their willingness to intervene as bystanders in situations involving sexual violence. A survey was administered to 205 participants, focus groups held with nine teams, and individual interviews conducted with …

Scale for the Identification of Acquaintance Rape Attitudes
Within the context of intimate interpersonal relationships, gender-based violence has a significant impact on the social-emotional functioning and development of women. Our ability to determine the effectiveness of our efforts to reduce sexual violence is linked to our ability to assess those attitudes that condone sexual violence. This study examined the validity of college students' responses to the Scale for the Identification of Acquaintance …
The Dimensionality of Youths' Oriented Interests
The stability and validity of two future orientation interests dimensions, matriculation/adulthood tasks and generalized concerns with self and others, was assessed. Using a nationally representative sample of 10th grade (N = 16,842), 12th grade (N = 18,221) and high school dropouts, African, East Asian, European, and Mexican American students' support for the stability of the two dimensions was attained. The positive association between the two …

Disciplinary Practices and Perceptions of School Safety
This study of a sample of 4,044 eighth grade students taken from the National Educational Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88) was designed to examine the contribution that zero-tolerance disciplinary policies, school climate, parents' and teachers' perceptions of disciplinary climate make to students' perceptions of the school's disciplinary climate. Additionally, this study examined whether school location (i.e., urban and suburban) and school …
