Abstract
Background
In the United States, youth of color, youth with a trauma history, and youth with disabilities are suspended and expelled at higher rates than their white peers without disabilities and trauma. Few researchers examine how this gap intersects to impact exclusionary discipline. DisCrit guides the article because it explains the pathways that lead to the overrepresentation of disabled youth of color in school exclusionary discipline through public policy.
Objective
The purpose is to analyze the Minnesota Student Survey (2019) to examine how the impact of trauma on exclusionary discipline varies by race and disability.
Methods
The main goal of this study was to examine the impact of ACEs on exclusionary discipline outcomes for youth of color with mental disabilities (MD). In the Minnesota Student Survey (2019), we use a representative sample (N = 104,043) of students' self-reported data from all public school districts in Minnesota. We conducted a logistic regression analysis of students with ACEs on exclusionary discipline.
Results
ACEs (odds ratios [OR] = 1.91) and youth with MD (OR = 1.36) are strongly associated with exclusionary discipline among youth of color. Lastly, the odds of exclusionary discipline are higher for youth with ACEs and a known MD than those youth without an MD but with ACEs among youth of color (OR = 0.74) and white youth (OR = 0.75).
Conclusion
The results confirmed youth of color with MD are at higher risk for exclusionary discipline with undersupported ACEs than their white peers without MD. Implications for social work collaboration are discussed for school mental health services.
期刊介绍:
Official Publication of the International Society for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect. Child Abuse & Neglect The International Journal, provides an international, multidisciplinary forum on all aspects of child abuse and neglect, with special emphasis on prevention and treatment; the scope extends further to all those aspects of life which either favor or hinder child development. While contributions will primarily be from the fields of psychology, psychiatry, social work, medicine, nursing, law enforcement, legislature, education, and anthropology, the Journal encourages the concerned lay individual and child-oriented advocate organizations to contribute.
