Flourishing, Mental Health, and School Engagement Among U.S. Children
Comparing the Effectiveness of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy for Adolescent Outcomes in Schools Between the U.S. and East Asian Studies
Solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) can be a culturally adaptive school-based intervention for youth. Despite the evidence that supports the practical use of SFBT with various populations, its effectiveness particularly among East Asian American (EAA) youth outcomes in school settings requires further study. For this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched U.S. and East Asian studies (e.g., Chinese, Korean, and Japanese) published from…
Housing Hardships and Health Risks Among Children and Youth
Housing and neighbourhood contexts are critical social determinants of health for children and youth. However, little is known about how co‐occurring socioecological factors, including household, housing and neighbourhood contexts, cumulatively influence child and youth health risks. The aims of this study were to examine the combined effects of household‐, housing‐ and neighbourhood‐based risk and protective factors on child and youth health ris…
Characteristics that Predict Submission to Social Work Versus Extra-disciplinary Journals
This study examined the effects of personal and professional faculty characteristics on decisions to disseminate high-quality scholarship to disciplinary social work periodicals. We used a national sample of tenure-track faculty (N = 289) affiliated with PhD-conferring programs to conduct this cross-sectional study. The results of the two-step sequential logistic regression indicated age and area of research interest were significant predictors, …
Relationships of sleep parameters to internalizing problems in children and adolescents
摘要: 睡眠不足和节律紊乱是儿童青少年普遍存在的睡眠问题, 也是导致内化问题产生的重要风险因素。本研究以3197名四到九年级学生(49.7%女生)为研究对象, 采用睡眠日志法考察了夜间睡眠时长、睡眠中点和周末补偿睡眠三个睡眠时间参数与儿童青少年内化问题的关系, 同时检验学段和消极情绪性的调节作用。结果发现, 夜间睡眠时长与初中生和高消极情绪性小学生的内化问题呈U型关系, 最佳睡眠时长的逆转阈限分别是9.09小时和10.39小时; 睡眠中点越晚高消极情绪性初中生内化问题越多; 周末补偿睡眠与低消极情绪性初中生内化问题呈U型关系, 最佳周末补偿睡眠的逆转阈限为1.10小时, 与高消极情绪性初中生的内化问题呈线性关系。本研究结果为儿童青少年科学的睡眠安排提供科学依据, 也提示儿童青少年的作息安排应考虑其发展阶段和气质特征
Exploring associations between neighborhood amenities and mental health
The presence of neighborhood amenities influences youth mental health, with variation by race. • Sidewalks were associated with a higher likelihood of mental health challenges for some groups but lower likelihood for others, signaling the need for attention on how contextual factors shape this relationship. • Community investments in neighborhood amenities can support youth mental health, but require diverse youth voices to achieve equitable outc…
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy in Korean Schools
Purpose: The use of solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) has expanded rapidly in Korean school settings, yet few meta-analysis have been conducted. Method: Following Cochrane guidelines, this meta-analysis synthesized experimental studies conducted in Korea from 1995 to 2024. Both peer-reviewed journal articles and theses/dissertations were included. A three-level random effects model was used. Results: Forty-six studies (152 effect sizes) were …
What Factors Inform Decisions about Where to Submit High-Quality Scholarship? A National Sample of Social Work Faculty Share Their Perspectives
Social work journals are essential repositories of the profession’s disciplinary knowledge, but some commentators suggest social work faculty may prioritize sending their best work to extradisciplinary journals. This mixed-methods study examined the propensity of faculty to submit their scholarship to disciplinary rather than extradisciplinary periodicals, and the factors or rationales that informed their respective decisions. To conduct this cro…
A Qualitative Study on the Centralized Quarantine Experiences of Covid‐19 Patients With No or Mild Symptoms in South Korea
To mitigate the COVID‐19 epidemic, the South Korean government implemented institutional quarantine in centralized facilities from March 2020 to November 2022. Patients who tested positive were required to stay in these facilities for up to 2 weeks to meet the minimum 7‐day isolation. During that period, evidence shows that COVID‐19 patients experienced intense psychological and mental health challenges and physical suffering. Using a descriptive…
Examining the Utility of the Early Childhood Development Index (Ecdi) among Children in the Nigeria Context
An estimated 6 million children under the age of five in Nigeria (out of nearly 31 million) risk not reaching their full developmental potential. The dearth of context-relevant measures poses a challenge to the planning and implementation of effective interventions. This study assesses the utility of the Early Childhood Development Index (ECDI) in Nigeria. We used the Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys to track progress among 3- to 4-year-old chi…

Individual, familial, and sociocontextual correlates of maternal caregiving among African American adolescents in public housing
Neighborhood tenure mixing
In this brief report, neighborhood tenure mixing is defined as the proportion of owner-occupied versus renter-occupied properties in a neighborhood. The current study examined the association between the proportion of neighborhood tenure mixing, neighborhood crime, and the physical conditions of the neighborhood environment (i.e., incivilities, territoriality, and built environment). Fourteen trained raters (i.e., 7 dyads) used the Revised Block …
Structural and Intermediary Social Determinants of Health and the Emotional and Behavioral Health of US Children
Children grow up in homes where varying environmental and socioeconomic contexts have a bearing on their emotional and behavioral health (EBH). This study used data from a representative sample of the child supplement of the US National Health Information Survey (NHIS) and applied the social determinants of health (SDoH) framework to explore factors associated with child EBH. We conducted a path analysis of the child's EBH measured by the strengt…
