Black Fathers as an Asset in Times of Crisis
The post-Dobbs decision has exacerbated the challenges Black women face in navigating sexual and reproductive health. The ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization not only ended federally protected access to abortion but also expanded state authority to impose stricter barriers to sexual health care. As a result, Black women face increased difficulty not only in obtaining abortions but also in securing necessary and preferred contra…

Black Girl Well-Being
Purpose: Few interventions focus on the unique developmental contexts specific to Black adolescent girls living in the United States.

Exploring the Role of Social Media Content on Sexual Health Behaviors and Decision-Making Among Young Black Females
The current study aims to explore the impact of social media platforms on sexual health and decision-making among young Black females. With the vast amount of information available through social media platforms, many lack restrictions that protect young females from harmful information. This study is necessary to understand how to intervene at the micro, meso, and macro level of Black adolescent female experiences, often characterized by stereot…
Residential Black fathers’ engagement as a protective factor for sexual outcomes among Black adolescent and young adult females
Recent fatherhood scholarship highlights the value of Black fathers in the lives of their sons. However, few scholars point to what Black fathers provide to the lives of their Black daughters as it relates to sexual outcomes. The current study uses logistic regression analysis to examine responses (n = 846) from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health), 1994–2008 (ICPSR 21,600), using Waves II, III, and IV, (ages…
Bridging the sexual health gap for black adolescent females
Current sexual health outcomes disproportionately represent Black adolescent and young adult females. The significance of this conceptual review is to first highlight reduced access to traditional forms of sexual health resources and the urgency for innovative social work intervention. Secondly, I present an overview of fatherhood literature that points to the value of Black father–daughter relationships pertaining to sexual health. Recent polici…
“An umbrella for all things”
Culturally responsive sexual health interventions for black adolescent females in the United States
I Don’t Really Need You. I Got a Body That’s Going to Get Me What I Need”
Social work practitioners should consider culturally appropriate harm reduction interventions specifically for Black adolescent and emerging adult women engaged in the camming and online sex work industry
Theoretical considerations for the development of urban black adolescent females
We explore the theoretical frameworks of ecological systems theory, intersectionality, and multi-dimensionality to examine the dynamics of the environment as it relates to the development of Black adolescent females who grow up in urban settings. Frameworks such as intersectionality and multi-dimensionality specifically urge attention to multiple identities and social categories related to race, sex, and class that impact the everyday life for pe…
Engaging Nonresident Fathers
Social service providers in a variety of sectors have struggled to consistently engage nonresident fathers in service provision. A growing body of research indicates that practitioner characteristics and attitudes may help increase retention and engagement among this group of men. These findings coincide with recent mandates from federal policy makers to increase engagement of nonresident fathers in family-centered practice approaches. A central …
Exploring the determinants of discipline and monitoring among non-resident African American fathers
Blackgirlsmatter
Historical trajectories of explicit disregard contribute to current day biases related to the health and well-being of Black women and girls. In the current study, a multi-faceted analysis is used to examine linkages between historical mistreatment, twenty-first-century health disparities and specific problems with quality of care, access to resources and a lack of regard for the personal agency of Black women and girls. Considering systemic bias…
Examining multiple dimensions of father involvement as predictors of risk-taking intentions among black adolescent females
Does the Context of Racial Discrimination Matter for Adolescent School Outcomes
Gender differences among Black adolescents in foster care
Black adolescents in the foster care system are at risk for a wide variety of negative outcomes. However, little is known about the role of multilevel promotive factors, particularly relational permanence, in promoting resilience in regards to race and gender for Black adolescents in foster care. This longitudinal study examines whether gender impacts the association between multilevel promotive factors and psychological well-being among Black ad…
