Short Take
Narratives that dominant the discourse of the experiences of people of color, specifically in education settings, are incomplete. Therefore, identifying methodological approaches that emphasize the perspectives of minoritized groups is essential. Counternarratives have been applied to help (re)tell stories of the oppressed to challenge dominant and racialized perspectives. This short take provides one example of a step-by-step guide that draws on…

Strength-Based approaches to providing an Aboriginal Community Child Health Service
Adopting strength-based approaches reinstate power and control to Aboriginal communities, while nurturing empowerment and decision making in the design and delivery of culturally contextualised approaches to addressing Aboriginal health and wellbeing. Aboriginal health policy and practice continues to address Aboriginal child health and wellbeing from a whole-of-population deficit discourse, further exacerbating Aboriginal disadvantage for Aborig…
Religious Commitment and Intent to Die by Suicide during the Pandemic
Suicide is the second leading cause of death in 10-34-year-olds in the U.S. It is vital to identify protective factors that promote resilience in a suicide crisis. Background: This study explored the contributions of religious commitment (RC) and religious service attendance to decreased suicide intent in 18-34-year-olds. Possible moderators were investigated, including church-based social support, pandemic-related faith struggles (PRFS), and mor…
Characterization of the Synthetic Opioid Threat Profile to Inform Inspection and Detection Solutions
The majority of opioid overdoses are due to illicitly manufactured imports. Researchers from the Homeland Security Operational Analysis Center evaluated publicly available data to better understand the dimensions of the consumption and supply of these substances. They performed qualitative and quantitative analyses of these data and provide their findings and recommendations in this report.
How Many People Are Exposed to Suicide? Not Six
It has long been stated that six people are left behind following every suicide. Despite a lack of empirical evidence, this has been extensively cited for over 30 years. Using data from a random‐digit dial survey, a more accurate number of people exposed to each suicide is calculated. A sample of 1,736 adults included 812 lifetime suicide‐exposed respondents who reported age and number of exposures. Each suicide resulted in 135 people exposed (kn…
Recipients of Suicide-Related Disclosure
It is important to explore factors that could help or hinder one's wellbeing following a suicide attempt, which could yield not only negative consequences but also posttraumatic growth (PTG; positive changes following a traumatic event). The present study used a multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) to test the relationship between disclosure, PTG, and posttraumatic depreciation among suicide attempt survivors when controlling for time si…
How personality, coping styles, and perceived closeness influence help-seeking attitudes in suicide-bereaved adults
This study examined the impact of personality, coping, and perceived closeness on help-seeking attitudes in suicide bereaved adults. Participants (n = 418; mean age = 49.50; 90% women, 89.7% Caucasian) completed measures of personality (neuroticism, extraversion, openness, conscientiousness, and agreeableness), coping, and attitudes toward seeking mental health services. Regression analyses revealed neuroticism as the strongest predictor of help-…
The Global Dimensions of Public Health Preparedness and Implications for US Action
The globalization of public health is both real and relevant throughout the United States and to Americans traveling or residing abroad. US public policy responses are evolving, but a crisper and more comprehensive global perspective is needed. I suggest four timely US actions to address today’s competing realities of globalization and economic austerity: raise awareness among clinicians and local health departments; capture and share exemplary d…
Strategies to improve global influenza surveillance
Our practical tool allows policymakers to use their own realistic baseline values and program projections to assess the relative impact of different interventions to improve the probability and timeliness of detecting early human cases or clusters caused by a novel influenza virus, a possible harbinger of a new pandemic. Policymakers can use results to target investments to improve their surveillance infrastructure. Multi-national planners can al…
Recognition of Suicide Risk According to the Characteristics of the Suicide Process
The suicide of a patient is a painful experience for many physicians and mental health professionals, and may contribute to the earlier and more frequent development of professional burnout. To reduce this risk in the primary care settings in which many suicidal patients are seen prior to their attempt, the authors presented concepts regarding the course of suicidal ideation and typical ways in which suicidal individuals communicate their experie…
The Community Action Model
The community action model is a 5-step, community-driven model designed to build communities’ capacity to address health disparities through mobilization. Fundamental to the model is a critical analysis identifying the underlying social, economic, and environmental forces that create health and social inequities in a community. The goal is to provide communities with the framework necessary to acquire the skills and resources to plan, implement, …
Violent Delinquents and Urban Youths
Violent juvenile crime is disproportionately concentrated in urban neighborhoods, and accordingly an understanding of the sources of serious delinquency is con founded by components of urbanism. These milieus usually have high rates of absolute poverty and relative economic deprivation, as well as weak social institutions. The persistent findings of delinquent peer contributions to delinquency have yet to be tested under conditions where social c…
