ABSTRACT Objectives: This study advances the understanding of cultural socialization processes for Asian American emerging adults. We examined whether interdependent self-construal mediated the relation between cultural socialization and ethnic identity exploration and commitment. Method: The current study utilized mediation analyses to explore the associations between cultural socialization (i.e., the process in which individuals learn messages regarding the traditions and values of their culture) via different agents (i.e., parents, teachers, romantic partners, peers); interdependent self-construal (i.e., viewing oneself as connected to others); and ethnic identity exploration and commitment for Asian American college-attending emerging adults (N = 281, 66.5% female, M age = 20.34). Results: Results revealed that interdependent self-construal mediated the association between cultural socialization and ethnic identity exploration and commitment in regards to romantic partners and peers, but not parents and teachers. Conclusions: Results highlight that diverse cultural socialization agents may play a role in ethnic identity formation and suggest that the endorsement of cultural values can be a mechanism through which ethnic identity is strengthened for Asian Americans.

ABSTRACT Drug courts are an alternative to incarceration for individuals who have substance use disorders. The drug court model is guided by key interventions (e.g., required treatment, frequent status hearings with a judge, continuous drug testing, prosecutors and defense attorneys collaborating in a non-adversarial manner) that are designed to promote recovery and wellbeing, as compared to traditional, punitive approaches to criminal justice. Evidence suggests that, in some drug courts, African Americans may graduate less, compared to their white counterparts. This is alarming because graduating drug court has consistently been a predictor of participants not being rearrested following participation in the program. This study predicted graduation and criminal recidivism outcomes for a drug court that primarily serves African Americans. The focus of the research is to inform drug courts about best practices in treating and retaining African American participants. Females, participants who were employed or were students, those whose drug of choice was marijuana, and participants with no criminal history were most likely to graduate. Participants with a criminal history and those who were terminated from drug court were most likely to recidivate. Implications for drug court practice are discussed, particularly in regards to enhancing resources for employment and the need to develop evidence-based treatments for African American drug court participants.

ABSTRACT Several African-centered theoretical models have been developed to conceptualize the process of healthy development among members of the African-American community. Within prevention-based research, African-centered perspectives are not often utilized as the basis of prevention efforts for African-American youth populations. However, given the distinct experiences of African-American youths, the purpose of this article is to critically compare the principles of the Nguzo Saba and the Five Cs of Positive Youth Development (PYD). We critically compare the two theoretical models in the context of their historical development. The process of comparing the concepts of youth development within each model yielded insights that are particularly important for future theorizing. We conclude with the implications for future practice intervention efforts for African-American youths.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this phenomenological qualitative study was to document the college experiences of 10 African-Americans who aged out of foster care. The participants’ narratives detail how their circumstances impelled them to persist in college. Participants described their conditions in terms of their race and access and availability to supports and resources. Recommendations for cultural-based mentoring programs and partnerships among child welfare agencies and colleges and/or universities are suggested to support youths who age out of care and make the transition into college. Culturally sensitive practices and advocacy efforts are noted as an effort to change policies and services for the betterment of this vulnerable group. The limitations of the study and suggestions of areas for further research are offered.

ABSTRACT Black women’s college experiences are often compounded with psychological stressors such as race- and gender-related oppression, which may influence psychosocial adjustment. Generally, college students experiencing difficulties with psychosocial adjustment will often access college counseling services to manage their experiences. However, for many Black college women, issues related to mistrust of mental health practitioners, cultural barriers, economic factors, and reliance on friends and family result in their underutilization of professional services. Using an experimental design composed of an intervention group and a non-treatment control group with pretest and posttest measures, this study examined the effectiveness of a psychoeducational group intervention involving 20 undergraduate Black college women. Results revealed that after the 10-week group program, participants decreased their external locus of control significantly compared with members of the control group. The difference remained statistically significant after control variables were taken into account. However, the data failed to support the hypotheses that the intervention would have a statistically significant effect on perceived stress and increasing active coping. Although this study was conducted with a small sample of Black college women who attend Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), the findings offer preliminary data on the effectiveness of culture-relevant-based group interventions with Black women aimed at enhancing psychosocial competence and reducing stress.

ABSTRACT This article examines an eleven-module interdisciplinary cultural competence (ICC) training adapted for a local law enforcement agency in the wake of police-community violence. A mix-methods designed was utilized to explore the applicability of the ICC training for two cohorts of law enforcement. Quantitative findings indicate that the ICC training significantly improved participants’ cultural competence. Qualitative analyses illustrated that the training significantly influenced participants’ professional perspectives; empowered them; enhanced their awareness; and was beneficial for institutionalizing cultural competence into the overall organization.

ABSTRACT Although racial-ethnic socialization and racial-ethnic identity interlink to influence youth's developmental outcomes, the extant research has tended to investigate these constructs and their effect on youths’ outcomes separately. We therefore used path analysis to investigate the interrelationships between prominent racial-ethnic socialization and racial-ethnic identity constructs in one model to ascertain whether when considered simultaneously they have direct and/or mediated effect associations with the academic performance of African-American youths. Participants were drawn from the Maryland Adolescent Development in Context Study. Findings reveal that parenting practices that expose youths to racial/cultural heritage of African-Americans, in tandem with those that alert youths to potential discrimination and strategies to respond, may influence youths’ racial-ethnic identity domains. These racial-ethnic identity domains in turn shape one another in a complex way to positively predict academic performance. Implications for social work research and practice are discussed.

ABSTRACT This paper describes the adaptation of a web-based safety planning intervention for Native American women exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV). We conducted interviews with Native American women exposed to intimate partner violence (n = 40) and practitioners who work with Native American survivors (n = 41) to gain an understanding of culturally specific risk and protective factors for IPV. Participants were from three regions of the U.S. – the Northeast, Southeast, and Southwest – from a mixture of rural (reservation and non-reservation) and urban settings. These data were then used to inform culturally responsive adaptation of a web-based safety app, called myPlan (renamed ourCircle) by infusing it with culturally specific safety priorities and safety strategies. This research has implications for the Grand Challenges for Social Work, specifically the Challenges to End Family Violence, Harness Technology for Social Good, and Achieve Equal Opportunity and Justice.

ABSTRACT The need for culturally grounded research on Native Hawaiian (NH) mental health and psychological well-being has been discussed by practitioners and researchers for more than four decades. This study combines scoping review methodology with culturally informed inclusion criteria in order to identify and synthesize literature on NH mental health and psychological well-being that is grounded in NH understandings of well-being. A systematic search of peer-reviewed literature and doctoral dissertations that linked NH mental health and psychological well-being to physical, social, spiritual, or cultural factors produced 81 studies. Twenty-one studies that were methodologically framed in NH culture were then selected for data extraction. These studies emphasized the importance of family, spirituality, connection to place, and cultural identity for mental and emotional well-being, as well as the inclusion of culture in interventions.

ABSTRACT This paper presents findings from an alcohol and other drug use (AOD) and HIV risk needs assessment of 20 “Mexican American Indian” adults in two urban areas of the United States who currently or previously participated in Danza Mexica an Indigenous cultural/ceremonial dance form. Findings describe community perceptions of AOD and HIV knowledge, stigma, and risk. The majority of participants identified AOD and more than half perceived HIV to be significant health concerns. Importantly, the majority of the participants also described specific teachings and practices from Danza Mexica related to AOD and HIV prevention and response, emphasizing cultural identity, community support, and healing.
