ABSTRACT An experimental design examining the efficacy of online suicide assessment training with counselor trainees was implemented to assess influence on a variety of related skills. Results from 2-factor mixed analyses of variance, Mann–Whitney U tests, and Wilcoxon signed rank tests partially supported the effectiveness of this method for improving suicide assessment skills, but challenged the use of online education for increasing trainees' suicide assessment skills.

ABSTRACT Using a responsive program evaluation method, the researchers conducted interviews with stakeholders following implementation of a brief classroom intervention, based on the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program (OBPP), with 7th-grade students in 1 school. Thematic analysis yielded several themes related to participants' perspectives on bullying prevention, bystanding, outcomes of a cooperative learning classroom intervention, and recommendations for participative bullying prevention programs.

ABSTRACT We engaged in a 3-phase meta-methodology review of grounded theory research design and practices referenced in the literature, which were validated by an expert sample. Following an initial scoping review of qualitative literature and a 15-year evidence map, we used an embedded quantitative approach to examine expert appraisal of grounded theory construct relevance. The results postulate a unique format in which grounded theory research is conceptualized and created.

ABSTRACT Counseling researchers, who often work for institutions that place significant value on journal impact factor (JIF), are faced with the choice to publish their manuscripts in professional counseling journals or those of other professions that might have higher JIFs. Publication and journal impact factor data for 6 American Counseling Association journals and 58 American Psychological Association journals were examined. Although both groups compared on issues per year and rejection rates, counseling journals averaged fewer articles per year and lower average impact factor. Implications and recommendations for increasing impact of counseling research publications are discussed.

ABSTRACT Social class is an intersecting identity factor that affects clients, counselors, and all counseling specialties. Although an important component of ethical counseling practice, counseling scholars rarely publish research in this area. This study was designed to determine how often, when, and in what context social class was examined as the focus of counseling publications via a 17-year content analysis of 21 American Counseling Association (ACA) and ACA division journals. Implications and recommendations for counseling and counseling research are provided.

ABSTRACT This study investigated risk and protective factors capable of differentiating dropouts from completers in a university counseling center. Data were collected from college students (N = 285) at a large southeastern university. Results from the logistic regression analysis suggested that clients with mild symptoms of depression were more likely to continue in counseling. Results also showed that alcohol abuse and eating concerns might interact to reduce the likelihood of completion. Finally, increases in symptoms of social anxiety were associated with a higher likelihood of persisting in therapy, and more severe symptoms of generalized anxiety predicted a lower likelihood of completion.

There is a perspective haunting the counseling and psychotherapy research communities. We have worked for decades under the assumption that the gold standard for evidentiary support, and thus the usefulness of study results, is contingent on the implementation of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Similarly, despite their pivotal role in yielding evidence that promotes best practices in primary care (Janosky, 2005; Schork & Goetz, 2017) and behavioral health settings (Cook, Codding, Silva, & Hayden, 2017; Lenz, 2015), single-case research designs (SCRDs) have been, in many respects, relegated to a yes, but still secondrate status. Meanwhile, hierarchies of evidentiary support (Evans, 2003; Rubin & Bellamy, 2012) have situated variations of these two paradigms as above a causal demarcation line and even the most sophisticated of alternative approaches to outcome research and program evaluation somewhere below. Still then, despite the implorations of many scholars to consider a broader, more holistic valuation of paradigm–evidence interactions (APA Presidential Task Force on Evidence-Based Practice, 2006; Wampold, Lichtenberg, & Waehler, 2002), the unsubtle fact remains that many counseling researchers are situated in systems wherein anachronistic views valuing some paradigms over others have limited our collective potential to promulgate diverse types of inquiry into client outcomes. To be sure, RCTs and SCRDs have helped us achieve great heights within professional counseling and related behavioral health care professions. The results of these studies have provided a basis for disseminating sophisticated technologies for mitigating the deleterious effects of complex experiences on well-being and development. Similarly, the fruits of these activities have led to evidence-based strategies for promoting actualization of strengths and use of resources across the life span. We are further along than ever before in our understanding of group differences and individual responses to interventions targeting important constructs such as anxiety, depression, and the trauma response. Yet, it is possible that the premium valuing of RCTs and SCRDs evaluating psychiatric symptom improvement, although leading us toward auspicious outcomes through experimental manipulation and control, has in some ways limited our potential. Namely, this valuing could be impeding our innovation of new pathways toward discovery and understanding about the brilliant constructions emerging within the estuaries where counselors meet people, couples, families, groups, and communities. Thus, a revaluing of the importance of alternative outcome research paradigms appears to be indicated in at least two ways. First, this revaluing involves a genuine, evenhanded embrace of the merits associated with methodological pluralism. Second, the investigation of

ABSTRACT Concerns with body image and disordered eating behaviors are pervasive in today's society, with recent cohorts of preteen girls experiencing an increased risk of developing an eating disorder. This article describes a phenomenological qualitative investigation into girls' experiences with a mindfulness-based eating disorder prevention program called Free to Be. Results indicated that participants perceived the program to be enjoyable, engaging, supportive, and influential in developing healthier relationships with their bodies, food, and exercise, and that they viewed mindfulness as beneficial for regulating emotions and supporting future development. Implications for counselors and recommendations for future research are provided.
