Associations Between Patterns of Sleep Disturbances and Mental Health Among Child Welfare-Involved Adolescents
Background/Objectives: Sleep is an important biobehavioral process that supports child and adolescent health and development. However, many prior studies examining sleep and mental health have relied on total sleep scores, which may mask the heterogeneity of sleep disturbances. Youth exposed to childhood adversity are at increased risk for sleep disturbances and poor mental health, and thus it is important to examine the links between sleep and m…
Mother–Infant Physiological Coregulation Is Associated With Infant Developmental Status Among Families With Experienced Adversity
Mother–infant physiological coregulation may vary by the infants’ developmental needs. We examined whether infant developmental status was associated with dynamic trajectories of mother–infant respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) coregulation. Fifty‐three US mothers and infants oversampled for lower income, higher stress, and child maltreatment risk completed a double Face‐to‐Face Still‐Face (FFSF) paradigm, alternating between play and stress cond…
Impact of Covid-19 on Referral Patterns and Service Delivery for an Integrated Behavioral Health Program
The emergence and rapid spread of COVID-19 led to unprecedented changes for families and systems of care. This study sought to understand the needs of families participating in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) before and during the pandemic and considers the impact remote service delivery has on access to an integrated behavioral health intervention to support the psychosocial needs of children and…
Mindfulness Intervention Improves Coping and Perceptions of Children’s Behavior among Families with Elevated Risk
Mindfulness-informed interventions (MIIs) are increasingly common but have not been extensively studied among families with elevated levels of risk (e.g., those involved in child protective services and/or receiving financial assistance). These families often experience high rates of stressors that can impact coping strategies, interpersonal dynamics, and relationships. Given that mindfulness has been shown to promote health and wellbeing, this s…
Childhood Adversity Moderates Change in Latent Patterns of Psychological Adjustment during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Emerging evidence suggests that the consequences of childhood adversity impact later psychopathology by increasing individuals’ risk of experiencing difficulties in adjusting to stressful situations later in life. The goals of this study were to: (a) identify sociodemographic factors associated with subgroups of psychological adjustment prior to and after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and (b) examine whether and to what extent types of child…
Exploring dimensions of childhood adversity as predictors of psychological adjustment among adolescents involved in the child welfare system
Child welfare-involved youth experience elevated rates of psychological maladjustment. Few studies have examined whether there are latent subgroups of youth who experience similar patterns of psychological adjustment. To advance understanding of the promotion of adjustment among this marginalized population, the current study addressed this gap by conducting a latent profile analysis of psychological symptoms. Once the identified latent profiles …

A Sociometric Approach to Understanding Concordance in Substance Use Perceptions Among Youth Experiencing Homelessness
Objective: Most studies examining peer influence on drug-use among youth experiencing homelessness (YEH) have relied on perceptions of peer use rather than measuring peers’ self-reported use, an approach that can inflate estimates of peer substance use behavior. Sociometric network data provide an optimal mechanism to compare perceptual data to actual self-reports from peers. Method: Using an event-based approach, we recruited a sample of YEH (N …
Intergenerational Continuity of Risk
Objective: Children exposed to maltreatment are a vulnerable population with disproportionately high rates of adverse outcomes, including internalizing and externalizing behavior problems. Parental risk characteristics, such as poor mental health, may help to explain the health and developmental trajectories of children who have experienced maltreatment. This study examined the hypothesis that specific parenting behaviors mediate the association …

Sociodemographic and substance use characteristics associated with typologies and composition of social support networks among youth experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles, USA
Youth experiencing homelessness are a vulnerable population with increased behavioural health risks. Social networks are a consistent correlate of youths' substance use behaviours. However, less is known about the reciprocal relationships among these constructs. This study classified youth experiencing homelessness according to their social support network type (e.g. instrumental, emotional, service) and composition (e.g. family, peers, service s…

Pregnancy attitudes and contraceptive use among young adults with histories of foster care
Social Connectedness, Self-Efficacy, and Mental Health Outcomes Among Homeless Youth
Homeless youth frequently meet diagnosis criteria for depressive and/or substance use disorder(s). Although prior research has established that both social connectedness and self-efficacy buffer vulnerable youth's adverse health outcomes, few studies have compared the potential of these protective factors on homeless youth's mental well-being. The current study analyzes comparative effects of social connectedness and self-efficacy on meeting crit…
Childhood adversity and the risk of substance use and delinquency
Systematic Review of Social–Emotional Screening Instruments for Young Children in Child Welfare
Purpose: The Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act requires child welfare agencies to have provisions in place to refer young children to early intervention services, yet the socioemotional health needs of children are often challenging to recognize and treat effectively. This study reviews the substantive and psychometric properties of screening instruments designed for children ages 10 and younger. Methods: Major social science databases, we…
Feasibility, Acceptability, and Clinical Trends of a Mindfulness-Informed Child Welfare Intervention
Exposure to stress and early life trauma have been linked to child maltreatment and parental substance misuse. These issues often co-occur, yet few child welfare services target their shared underlying causes in a single intervention. Teaching mindfulness-informed strategies to substance-misusing families in the child welfare system may be one promising trauma-informed approach. As part of a larger pilot study testing the initial efficacy of a mi…
Mindfulness Intervention with Homeless Youth
Objectives: Mindfulness-based interventions demonstrate promise in helping individuals cultivate awareness of risks, thereby decreasing likelihood of revictimization; however, mindfulness-based approaches with homeless youth have received little empirical attention. This mixed-methods study investigates a mindfulness-based intervention for homeless youth, investigating (a) quantitatively—to what extent is the intervention effective in increasing …

Does Parent–Child Interaction Therapy Reduce Future Physical Abuse? A Meta-Analysis
Objective: To use meta-analytic techniques to evaluating the effectiveness of parent–child interaction therapy (PCIT) at reducing future physical abuse among physically abusive families. Methods: A systematic search identified six eligible studies. Outcomes of interest were physical abuse recurrence, child abuse potential, and parenting stress. Results: Parents receiving PCIT had significantly fewer physical abuse recurrences and significantly gr…
