Neighborhood bystander intervention in intimate partner abuse: The role of social cohesion
This study examines the relationships among individual beliefs about intimate partner abuse (IPA), attitudes about IPA reporting, social cohesion, and the intention of intervening in neighborhood IPA. Data for this study come from a larger cross ‐sectional, community‐based study in which participants (N = 1,626) were surveyed face to face using stratified random sampling in targeted communities in a Mountain West state (i.e., drop‐off, pick‐up method) and online using social media outreach in targeted communities. Linear regression results indicated that participants were less likely to inte rvene in IPA situatio...

The sleep environment and its association with externalizing behaviors in a sample of low ‐income adolescents
This study examined the sleep environment and its association with externalizing problems in adolescents attending an alternative high school. Participants included 114 students (56% female, 91% Black, mean age = 18.03, standard deviation [SD] = 1.49) from an alternative high school in a southeastern city. Most participants reported sleeping in a bed (83%) and at their house (72%) for 7 nights in the past week. Participants reported an average of 2.34 (SD = 1.86) past‐week ambient sleep disruptions. Sleeping fewer nights in their own home and experiencing higher levels of ambient sleep disruptions were associated...

Is neighborhood poverty harmful to every child? Neighborhood poverty, family poverty, and behavioral problems among young children
This study also examines whether social environments mediate the relationship between neighborhood poverty and behavioral problems. We used data from the third and fourth waves of the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing study to assess behavioral problems separately for children who experienced no family poverty, moved out of family poverty, moved into family poverty, and experienced long ‐term family poverty. Regression models assessed the effect of neighborhood poverty on behavioral problem outcomes among children aged 5 years, after controlling for sociodemographic characteristics and earlier behavioral problems. Res...

Cultural values, coping, and hope in Yup'ik communities facing rapid cultural change
AbstractHistorical trauma and rapid cultural change contribute to a high burden of stress in Alaska Native communities. The goal of the Yup'ik Experiences of Stress and Coping Project was to better understand stress and coping in Yup'ik communities and the role of cultural values and practices in coping. Sixty Yup'ik adults aged 18 –84 years took part in semistructured interviews. They discussed how they coped with salient stressful experiences and shared the things that bought them hope and peace. Interview themes were identified and inter‐relationships between themes were explored through social network analysis. Par...

Examining the nonkin support networks of orphaned adolescents participating in a family ‐based economic‐strengthening intervention in Uganda
In this study, we examined the nonkin support networks of orphaned adolescents participating in a family ‐based economic‐strengthening intervention in HIV‐impacted communities in Uganda. We analyzed data from a cluster randomized experimental study for orphaned adolescents aged 11–17 years. Participants were randomly assigned to either the control condition, which received bolstered standard of care (BSOC) services, or the treatment condition, which received BSOC services plus an economic‐strengthening intervention. We conducted binary logistic regression analyses to examine the effect of the intervention on part...

Examining the service ‐related experiences and outcomes of caregivers involved in a system of care who experienced everyday discrimination
We examined the service ‐related experiences of predominantly Latinx caregivers enrolled in a SOC for their children with severe psychological health needs. We used independent samplest‐tests and regression analyses to compare relations among service access, perceived service characteristics, and caregiver stress according to whether caregivers reported frequent or infrequent discrimination. The frequent discrimination group scored significantly higher on dimensions of stress an d had greater dosage than the infrequent group. There were no differences in relations between service characteristics and outcomes by group. ...

Protecting youth from gang membership: Individual and school ‐level emotional competence
AbstractThe current study examined the association between adolescent emotional competence, operationalized and measured at both the individual and the school levels, and gang membership. The study involved a sample of 12,040 students (51.4% females; mean = 16.9 years) participating in the biennial state department of education coordinated California Healthy Kids Survey, which assesses a range of adolescent health‐related behaviors. Hierarchical linear modeling indicated that higher levels of individual emotional competence were associated with a lower likelihood of identifying as a gang member. Moreover, a stronger n...
