Redlining, gentrification, and Black American mental health
Racialized housing discrimination has important implications for the mental health of Black American populations. This scoping review, conducted from May to December 2022, summarized key definitions and measurement approaches relevant to redlining and gentrification and their impact on the mental health of Black adults in the United States. Interdisciplinary research databases were searched (PudMed, SCOPUS, Sociological Abstracts, PsycINFO), and …
Suicidality among Black Adolescents Exposed To Adversity
Acceptability and Improvement of a Library‐Based Substance Use Prevention Intervention
Youth affected by household challenges are more susceptible to early substance use and are more than twice as likely to develop a substance use disorder later in adulthood than their peers. Despite the considerable need, effective, community‐based substance use prevention programs are limited and may not address the current needs of youth, specifically for Black youth. Better Together is an age‐appropriate, culturally relevant intervention design…

Promoting an Anti-Racist Approach to Address Illegal Sexual Behavior Among Black Young People in the United States
Childhood Bereavement, Adverse and Positive Childhood Experiences, and Flourishing among Chinese Young Adults
Childhood bereavement (CB) resulting from a parent or primary caregiver death is associated with a range of adverse outcomes. Little is known about the association between CB and adult flourishing in the context of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and positive childhood experiences (PCEs). In a cross-sectional observational study, we examined how ACEs, PCEs, and adult flourishing differs by self-reported CB history among 9468 Chinese young ad…
An Engaged Community of Faith to Decrease HIV Stigma in the U.S. South
Community members from a city in the U.S. Deep South identified root causes of HIV racial disparities, including stigma. This meeting report describes how we developed and implemented a conference series to address HIV stigma. We used community feedback and bidirectional learning to host two meetings in observance of National HIV Testing Day (June 2021) and National Southern HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (August 2021). We established a 10-member organiz…
Using the intervention mapping for adaption framework to adapt an evidence-based sexual health intervention for youth affected by trauma
The adapted intervention shows promise toward meeting the behavioral health needs of Black youth exposed to household challenges. Our process and approach can serve as a model for researchers and practitioners aiming to extend the reach of EBIs
Maintaining Community-engaged Research with Young People in A Virtual setting

Inequitable Housing Practices and Youth Internalizing Symptoms
Disordered urban environments negatively impact mental health symptoms and disorders. While many aspects of the built environment have been studied, one influence may come from inequitable, discriminatory housing practices such as redlining, blockbusting, and gentrification. The patterns of disinvestment and reinvestment that follow may be an underlying mechanism predicting poor mental health. In this study, we examine pathways between such pract…
Congregational health needs by key demographic variables
It’s on every corner”
Physical, social, economic, and political environments can increase harm and risk among people who use drugs. These factors may be exacerbated in urban environments with a history of systemic inequality toward African Americans. However, racialized risk environment models have rarely been used within substance use research. To fill this gap, the current qualitative study sought to describe the racialized risk environment of an African American sa…
Child Mental Health and Sleep Disturbances During the Early Months of the Covid-19 Pandemic in the United States
Many children have experienced unprecedented levels of stress as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic due to school closures, strained resources, and excess morbidity and mortality. The current study examines change in children's mental health and sleep during the early months of the US pandemic and identifies risk and protective factors. In May 2020, a total of 225 parents reported on the mental health and sleep of each child (N = 392 children) liv…
“I can try and plan, but still get pregnant”
INTRODUCTION: Teen pregnancy rates have declined in the United States; however, disparities continue to persist particularly among minority, low-income adolescents. A greater understanding of how pregnancy intentions are conceptualized for adolescents, and the role of the social context may illuminate reasons for disparities. The aim of this study was to expand the lens in which adolescents' perspectives of pregnancy are studied by exploring the …
Developing a Congregational Health Needs Assessment
Cross-disciplinary partnerships made the creation of the MSCHS and implementation protocol possible. Successes include long-term engagement across partnership sectors, organizational "buy-in," and development of a common language. These lessons can help others wanting to develop successful multi-sector partnerships
Don't Close the Door on Them”
There is a need to understand why some strategies work better than others for engaging vulnerable Black adolescents in prevention research, especially those who are affected by parental drug use. The current study sought to fill this gap. Thirty in‐depth interviews were conducted with parents who reported a history of illicit drug use ( N = 11), young adults who had a biological parent with a history of illicit drug use ( N = 14), and service pro…

An Exploration of U.S. Southern Faith Leaders’ Perspectives of HIV Prevention, Sexuality, and Sexual Health Teachings
Reducing human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) racial/ethnic disparities in the Deep South has been a critical objective of the U.S. National HIV/AIDS Strategy. This finding, originally published in 2010 by the Office of National AIDS Policy, serves as a complement to the Health and Human Resources and Services Administration's Ending the HIV Epidemic (EtHE): A Plan for America. The EtHE plan, release…

Neighborhood Profiles and Associations with Coping Behaviors among Low-Income Youth
Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses and invariance assessment of the perceived powerlessness scale among youth in Baltimore
Generalized perceived powerlessness is an important psychosocial construct that determines a wide range of health behaviors and outcomes. This study has two aims: (1) examine the structure of the newly developed perceived powerlessness scale using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses and (2) assess the scale’s invariance across key demographic variables using multi-group confirmatory factor analysis among a random household sample of Afri…

Predicting household residency among youth from vulnerable families
Predictors of Caregiver Communication About Reproductive and Sexual Health and Sensitive Sex Topics
Numerous studies examining parent-teen communication about sex (PTCS) have focused on reproductive and sexual health information (i.e., pregnancy, physical development, contraception), with significantly fewer addressing communication about sensitive sex topics (i.e., sexual pleasure, masturbation). This study compares predictors of communication about reproductive and sexual health to those of sensitive sex topics with early adolescents. Partici…

Factors Influencing Black Churches’ Readiness to Address HIV
Strengthening partnerships between Black Churches and HIV service providers in the United States
Across the United States, Black Churches play a significant role among the Black community and are increasingly being used to deliver Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) prevention services. This study sought to investigate HIV service providers' strategies for strengthening partnerships with churches to deliver HIV prevention services. Using a community-based participatory research approach, an HIV coalition and an academic institution formed a p…
It's Like a Shoulder to Lean On”
The goal of this study was to examine the types of social support provided by STRIVE, an inner‐city‐based workforce development program. Life history interviews were conducted with 20 African American graduates (aged 18–24 years) of the workforce development program. Nearly half of the sample was male (45%). Over half of the sample was employed at the time of the interview (65%). Participants described receiving extensive informational and emotio…
How Does Pubertal Development Impact Caregiver-Adolescent Communication About Sex in Rural, African American Families? An Examination of Mediation Effects
This study examined the relationship between pubertal development and type of caregiver-adolescent communication about sex (CACS) among 441 African American caregivers participating in an intervention trial in rural North Carolina. We assessed CACS about general sexual health topics and positive aspects of sexuality. Caregivers’ attitudes and self-efficacy for CACS, and open communication style were examined as potential mediators. Caregivers eng…
