Child Maltreatment and Trauma Symptoms Role in the Development of Intrusive Sexual Behaviors Among Children
Given the high rate of sexual victimization committed by youth, it is critical to identify the etiological pathways of intrusive sexual behavior (ISB) to prevent future acts. ISBs are sexual behaviors that are aggressive, forceful, or otherwise coercive. Previous research has suggested that child maltreatment experiences are key environmental risk factors for ISB. The specific mechanism requires further study, including the potential pathway of s…
“When in Rome…”
With the increase in international migration, the need for an equitable healthcare system in Canada is increasing. The current biomedical model of healthcare is constructed largely in the Eurocentric tradition of medicine, which often disregards the diverse health perspectives of Canada’s racialized immigrant older adults. As a result, current healthcare approaches (adopted in the US and Canada) fall short in addressing the health needs of a cons…

Adaptation of the Parents Taking Action program for Diné (Navajo) parents of children with autism
Purpose Neurodivergent children who are part of Indigenous communities in rural areas often have inequitable access to specialized services. Parent education and training programs can be used to help address these gaps in the service system. Yet few parent education and training programs exist for Indigenous parents of children with autism, including parents who identify as Diné (Navajo, meaning “The People”), the largest federated tribe in the U…
Children Should Be Seen and Heard
Study Objective: To describe histories provided by sexually abused children whose ano-genital examinations demonstrated injury consistent with abuse. Design: This was a nested cohort study within a larger epidemiologic study of child sexual abuse. Setting: A large urban children’s assessment center (CAC) medical clinic population seen in a single calendar year. Participants: Children aged 6 to 16 years who provided a medical history directly to a…
Parents' Perspectives on the Impact of Their Incarceration on Children and Families
Objective To qualitatively explore the impact of parental incarceration on children and families from the perspective of the incarcerated parent in a county jail. Background An estimated 5 million U.S. children experience parental incarceration. A limited number of studies have examined the impact of parental incarceration on the child(ren) and family from the perspective of the incarcerated parent. Methods A convenience sample of 26 parents inca…

Qualitative Research in Communities of Color
In its quest to improve social work practice and design interventions to reach a broader swath of its diverse clientele, the discipline of social work continues to recognize and encourage research within underserved communities of color. Researchers are increasingly turning to qualitative methods to better understand marginalized groups and the nuances of their experiences. Although there are a number of benefits to conducting qualitative researc…
Developmental Disabilities in the Context of Fragile Families
Racial–ethnic disparities in the diagnosis of certain developmental disabilities (DDs), such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), contribute to delayed treatment for Latinx children. Although recent data suggest the disparities are mitigated over time, Latinx children are still less likely to have an ASD diagnosis, and those from low-income families are disproportionately affected. To build on previous research emphasizing these racial–ethnic dispa…
Health Inequities in Historical Context
Parents Taking Action
Latinx children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are underserved in part due to a lack of culturally relevant evidence-based services. We conducted a randomized control trial to test the efficacy of a culturally informed parent education intervention to address this gap. We assigned 26 Latina mothers of children with ASD to receive the intervention immediately (N = 12) or after all assessments were conducted (N = 14). All participants received…
Associations among family burden, optimism, services received and unmet need within families of children with ASD
Trauma, Post-Migration Stress, and Mental Health
Numerous studies describe mental health effects of pre-migration trauma and post-resettlement stress among refugees, yet less research examines these associations with non-refugee immigrants. Additionally, few studies assess the prevalence and impact of traumatic experiences after settlement in a new country. Using a U.S.-based representative sample of Asian (n = 1637) and Latino (n = 1620) refugees and immigrants, we investigated how traumatic e…
Mi’jita, What for?” Exploring Bicultural Identity of Latina/Chicana Faculty and Implications for Supporting Latinx Students in Social Work
Latinx faculty have an opportunity to influence a growing population of incoming Latinx students. As Chicana/Latina social work faculty, we seek to raise consciousness about our biculturalism and demonstrate how it could play a role in educating students. To that end, we highlight issues related to language. The meaning of language is complex, manifesting personally and politically. It is unclear how the relationship between identity and language…

Trends in Hispanic Academic Achievement
This article sought to identify factors related to high school completion rates and college enrollment among Hispanic students. Hispanic students were found to have high attrition rates in institutions of higher education. Implications for the development and implementation of retention programs for Hispanic high school students, such as culturally sensitive professional staff and faculty training, increased parent or family involvement, and impr…
Characterizing communicative development in children referred for Autism Spectrum Disorders using the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory (CDI)
Characterizing early communicative development in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is valuable for understanding profiles of ability in this population. The current investigation was modeled on Charman, Drew, Baird & Baird (2003 b ). Analyses explored parent report of early vocabulary, non-verbal communication, functional object use and play skills on the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory (CDI) in 93 children with A…
