Background

Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) is a rigorously evaluated home visiting program that serves first-time, low-income mothers. The current study compares perinatal outcomes of NFP participants to matched non-participants and estimates heterogeneous program effects by participant race and ethnicity.

Methods

A cohort of mothers enrolled in NFP between 2009 and 2019 was compared to a comparison group of similarly situated first-time mothers using Texas Department of State Health Services birth record data. We used 1-to-1 coarsened exact matching and matched 10,533 NFP mothers to non-participant mothers based on maternal race and ethnicity, age, education, and other salient characteristics for an overall sample of 21,066 mothers. We compared binomial measures of low birthweight, preterm birth, prenatal care adequacy, and breastfeeding initiation between participant and comparison mothers using logistic regression models. We also estimated the effects of the program separately by participant race and ethnicity for each outcome through subgroup analyses.

Results

NFP participants were significantly more likely to receive adequate prenatal care and attempt breastfeeding than the matched comparison sample. We found no significant differences in the odds of low birthweight or preterm birth between the groups. NFP had significantly stronger positive effects for Black and Hispanic mothers compared to White mothers for prenatal care adequacy. No significant heterogeneous program effects were observed for any other outcomes.

Discussion

The current study overcomes limitations of previous work by leveraging a large, diverse, single-state sample and employing analysis specifically designed to identify heterogeneous NFP effects by race and ethnicity. Findings could have implications for mitigating historical racial and ethnic disparities in perinatal health.

护士家庭伙伴关系（NFP）是一个经过严格评估的家访项目，服务于低收入的第一次母亲。目前的研究比较了NFP参与者和匹配的非参与者的围产期结果，并估计了参与者种族和民族的异质计划效应。方法使用德克萨斯州卫生服务部的出生记录数据，将2009年至2019年期间参加NFP的一组母亲与一组类似情况的第一次母亲进行比较。我们使用1对1的粗精确匹配，根据母亲的种族和民族、年龄、教育程度和其他显著特征，将10,533名NFP母亲与非参与母亲进行匹配，总共有21,066名母亲。我们使用logistic回归模型比较了低出生体重、早产、产前护理充足性和母乳喂养开始的二项指标。我们还通过亚组分析，根据参与者的种族和民族分别估计了该计划对每个结果的影响。结果snfp参与者比匹配的比较样本更有可能得到充分的产前护理和尝试母乳喂养。我们发现各组之间低出生体重或早产的几率没有显著差异。与白人母亲相比，NFP对黑人和西班牙裔母亲的产前护理充分性有更强的积极影响。其他结果未观察到显著的异质程序效应。目前的研究克服了以往工作的局限性，利用了一个大的、多样化的、单一状态的样本，并采用了专门设计的分析来识别不同种族和民族的异质性NFP效应。研究结果可能对减轻围产期健康的历史种族和民族差异具有启示意义。

This study aimed to examine the difference in levels of psychological wellbeing outcomes of binary and non-binary transgender and cisgender students aged 8–18 years in South Australia using population-level data. Student’s gender was imputed based on their self-reported gender (male, female, other) and parent-reported gender at school enrolment (male, female). Two groups represented cisgender students (n = 64,467), while four groups represented transgender and non-binary students (transgender boys, transgender girls, non-binary students presumed male at birth, non-binary students presumed female at birth; n = 1,016). A descriptive analysis was conducted to calculate the difference in levels of low, medium, and high psychological wellbeing across five outcomes: life satisfaction, optimism, happiness, sadness, and worries. Most transgender groups reported poorer outcomes than cisgender groups across most wellbeing indicators. Non-binary students, particularly those presumed female at birth, had the poorest psychological wellbeing outcomes. Like prior research, students with a gender other than male or female reported substantially poorer outcomes, indicating a need for holistic school and community services that assist transgender-specific social-emotional needs.

本研究旨在利用人口水平的数据，研究南澳大利亚8-18岁的二元和非二元跨性别和顺性别学生的心理健康水平差异。学生的性别是根据他们自己报告的性别（男性、女性、其他）和家长在入学时报告的性别（男性、女性）来推算的。两组代表顺性别学生（n = 64,467），而四组代表跨性别和非二元学生（跨性别男孩，跨性别女孩，非二元学生出生时推定为男性，非二元学生出生时推定为女性；n = 1,016）。研究人员进行了一项描述性分析，以计算低、中、高心理健康水平在五种结果中的差异：生活满意度、乐观、快乐、悲伤和担忧。大多数跨性别群体报告的结果在大多数幸福指标上都比顺性别群体差。非二元性别的学生，尤其是那些出生时被认为是女性的学生，心理健康状况最差。与之前的研究一样，性别非男性或女性的学生报告的结果明显较差，这表明需要全面的学校和社区服务，以帮助跨性别者特定的社会情感需求。

Objectives

This study uses focus group methodology to examine the mental health experiences of Black girls. Using intersectionality and Black girlhood theory as a framework, the study highlights how the intersection of race, gender, and age contributes to challenges that influence and shape their mental well-being.

Methods

Study participants were N = 62 Black girls between 13 and 18 (M = 15.6 SD = 1.50) years old. Semi-structured focus groups ranged from 90 to 120 min long and were administered by Black women facilitators.

Results

We identified three themes pertaining to the experiences that Black girls face around their mental health including: 1) perceptions of Black girls in society based on stereotypes; 2) mental health stigma; and 3) envisioning mental health programming for Black girls.

Conclusion

Findings from this study center the experiences of Black girls and deepen our understanding of factors that exacerbate mental health outcomes for this group such as gendered racism and mental health stigma. Implications are discussed for culturally relevant prevention and treatment mental health services that incorporate psychoeducation and anti-mental health stigma for Black girls.

目的采用焦点小组研究方法，探讨黑人女孩的心理健康状况。该研究以交叉性和黑人女孩时代理论为框架，强调了种族、性别和年龄的交叉性如何导致影响和塑造他们心理健康的挑战。方法研究对象为年龄13 ~ 18岁的黑人女孩62例（M = 15.6, SD = 1.50）。半结构化的焦点小组时长从90分钟到120分钟不等，由黑人女性辅导员管理。结果：我们确定了与黑人女孩在心理健康方面所面临的经历有关的三个主题，包括：1)基于刻板印象的社会对黑人女孩的看法；2)心理健康污名；3)设想针对黑人女孩的心理健康规划。结论本研究的结果集中了黑人女孩的经历，加深了我们对性别种族主义和心理健康污名等加剧该群体心理健康结果的因素的理解。讨论了与文化相关的预防和治疗心理健康服务的影响，包括对黑人女孩的心理教育和反心理健康污名。

Family reunification following out-of-home placement is an increasing priority for the Norwegian Child Welfare Service (CWS) following European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) judgements highlighting a right to family life and inadequate supports and visitation for parents to promote reunification. In response to these judgements, Norwegian policy has been strengthened to emphasise reunification as a preferred outcome. However, little is known about how, and to what extent, these policy shifts have influenced CWS professional practice, including enhanced reunification support and visitation for parents. This qualitative study, based on semi-structured, in-depth interviews with eight CWS professionals from across offices in Norway, explores CWS professional perceptions of these policy shifts and its impact on professional practice. Findings suggest these political and legislative changes impact CWS professional attitudes and professionals’ positioning as they adjust to new reunification practices and uncertainties in reunification work. The Ecological model of Professional Identities (EPI model) is used to explore CWS professionals positioning at an individual, theoretical and systemic level and the intersecting dilemmas associated with reunification efforts. This study highlights the challenges and possibilities experienced by CWS professionals as they respond to rights-based policy shifts that address wider CWS system inequalities, offering new insight into the complexities and opportunities associated with transitioning to more equal and inclusive CWS systems. Implications for effective policy implementation and reunification practices are discussed.

在欧洲人权法院的判决强调了家庭生活的权利以及对父母促进家庭团聚的支持和探视不足之后，家庭安置后的家庭团聚日益成为挪威儿童福利服务的优先事项。作为对这些判断的回应，挪威加强了政策，强调统一是首选结果。然而，对于这些政策转变如何以及在多大程度上影响了CWS的专业实践，包括加强团聚支持和对父母的探视，人们知之甚少。这项定性研究基于对来自挪威各办事处的8位CWS专业人员的半结构化深度访谈，探讨了CWS专业人员对这些政策转变的看法及其对专业实践的影响。研究结果表明，这些政治和立法的变化影响了CWS的专业态度和专业人员的定位，因为他们要适应新的统一实践和统一工作的不确定性。专业认同的生态模型（EPI模型）被用来探索CWS专业人员在个人、理论和系统层面的定位以及与统一努力相关的交叉困境。本研究强调了CWS专业人员在应对以权利为基础的政策转变时所面临的挑战和可能性，这些政策转变旨在解决更广泛的CWS系统不平等问题，为向更平等和包容的CWS系统过渡的复杂性和机遇提供了新的见解。讨论了有效政策实施和统一实践的影响。

Care leavers face unique challenges when becoming parents. In this study we examined the parenting approaches adopted by care leavers and the formative factors that influenced their parenting styles, applying Baumrind’s parenting typology (1966) to this population for the first time and providing insights into care leavers’ parenting journeys. Qualitative interviews with 22 care leavers, 11 male, 11 female, aged 28–31, were conducted a decade after they aged out of care. Thematic analysis yielded two principal themes: (1) Childhood experiences with their own biological parents or with alternative role models, particularly residential care staff, significantly shaped parenting philosophies, with participants having consciously adopted, rejected, or selectively incorporated elements from their parents’ approaches. (2) Participants’ descriptions of their actual parenting practices revealed important patterns in style adoption and gender dynamics. Few participants demonstrated the capacity to employ a flexible approach combining authoritative and permissive aspects. Participants commonly described traditional gender role divisions, men as financial providers and women as primary caregivers, predominated, though some actively contested these conventions. The findings generate a model of parenting approaches which illustrates how early experiences and societal norms influence care leavers’ parenting approaches and gender role conceptions, bearing significant implications for professionals supporting care leavers in their transition to parenthood. The discussion addresses practical applications and directions for future research.

照顾者在成为父母时面临着独特的挑战。在本研究中，我们首次将鲍姆林德（Baumrind, 1966）的育儿类型学应用于这一人群，考察了离职者采用的育儿方法以及影响其育儿风格的形成因素，并对离职者的育儿历程进行了深入研究。对22名年龄在28-31岁之间的护理人员进行了定性访谈，其中男11名，女11名。主题分析产生了两个主要主题：(1)与亲生父母或其他角色榜样（特别是寄宿护理人员）的童年经历显著地塑造了育儿哲学，参与者有意识地采用、拒绝或有选择地吸收父母方法中的元素。(2)参与者对其实际育儿实践的描述揭示了风格采用和性别动态的重要模式。很少有与会者显示有能力采用结合权威和许可两方面的灵活办法。与会者普遍描述了传统的性别角色划分，即男性作为财务提供者，女性作为主要照顾者占主导地位，尽管有些人积极反对这些传统。研究结果产生了一个育儿方法模型，该模型说明了早期经历和社会规范如何影响照顾者的育儿方法和性别角色概念，对支持照顾者向父母过渡的专业人员具有重要意义。讨论了实际应用和未来研究的方向。

Disasters have a devastating impact on populations, with children being one of the most at-risk groups. Although their vulnerability in disasters is widely recognised, children’s own voices are still largely missing from disaster recovery research and planning. This study aims to address that gap by listening directly to the experiences and perspectives of children aged 11 to 14 in Nurdağı, Gaziantep, one of the hardest-hit areas in Türkiye, on disaster relief and recovery. Using a qualitative, child-centred approach, grounded in a socio-ecological, rights-based framework, we conducted interviews with 58 children, alongside 47 additional interviews with parents, teachers, and first responders, to understand how young people coped with life after the earthquake, what challenges they faced, and what they believe would support recovery. The findings show that children struggled with difficult living conditions, trauma, disrupted education, and changing social relationships, but they also demonstrated remarkable insight, emotional intelligence, and a desire to be involved in rebuilding their communities. Many children questioned the fairness of aid distribution and called for more attention to mental health and safer schools. Rather than portraying children as passive victims, the study highlights their capacity to reflect, adapt, and contribute. It calls for more inclusive, responsive recovery strategies that treat children as active participants in disaster planning and post-disaster rebuilding. The study offers actionable recommendations for policymakers, educators, and humanitarian practitioners to better integrate children’s perspectives into long-term recovery planning and resilience-building initiatives.

灾害对人口有着毁灭性的影响，儿童是最危险的群体之一。虽然人们普遍认识到儿童在灾害中的脆弱性，但在灾后恢复研究和规划中，儿童自己的声音仍然在很大程度上被忽视。本研究旨在通过直接倾听基耶省受灾最严重的地区之一Nurdağı加济安泰普11至14岁儿童在救灾和恢复方面的经验和观点，解决这一差距。我们采用定性的、以儿童为中心的方法，以社会生态学和权利为基础的框架为基础，对58名儿童进行了访谈，同时对47名家长、老师和急救人员进行了访谈，以了解年轻人如何应对地震后的生活，他们面临哪些挑战，以及他们认为什么可以支持恢复。研究结果表明，孩子们在艰难的生活条件、创伤、中断的教育和不断变化的社会关系中挣扎，但他们也表现出非凡的洞察力、情商和参与重建社区的愿望。许多儿童质疑援助分配的公平性，并呼吁更多关注心理健康和更安全的学校。这项研究没有把儿童描绘成被动的受害者，而是强调了他们反思、适应和贡献的能力。它呼吁制定更具包容性和响应性的恢复战略，将儿童视为灾害规划和灾后重建的积极参与者。该研究为政策制定者、教育工作者和人道主义从业者提供了可行的建议，以更好地将儿童的观点纳入长期恢复规划和复原力建设倡议。

Foster and kinship carers often care for traumatised children, and thus may be at risk of compassion fatigue (comprising burnout and secondary traumatic stress). This study aims to add to the emerging literature around whether compassion fatigue is present in foster and kinship carers and explore potential factors that may be associated with it. An online cross-sectional survey of 180 foster and kinship carers from the United Kingdom included measures of compassion fatigue, attachment, reflective functioning, self-efficacy, and social support. Results suggest higher levels of compassion fatigue amongst foster and kinship carers compared to helping professionals, and equivalent levels of compassion satisfaction, confirming previous findings. Regression analysis showed higher compassion fatigue was associated with lower levels of parenting satisfaction, higher attachment avoidance and higher discrepancies between perceived and enacted emotional support. Post hoc analysis showed a significant difference between source of social support for alternative caregivers with formal supports less likely to meet expectations. Descriptive statistics also highlighted low levels of reflective functioning training and low levels of household income of kinship carers within the sample. The findings are discussed in light of the timing of data collection and sampling strategy during COVID-19 restrictions. Associations between social support and attachment avoidance in relation to accessing entitled supports has implications for clinical and social services.

寄养和亲属照顾者经常照顾受创伤的儿童，因此可能面临同情疲劳的风险（包括倦怠和继发性创伤压力）。本研究旨在补充关于寄养和亲属照顾者是否存在同情疲劳的新兴文献，并探讨可能与之相关的潜在因素。一项对来自英国的180名寄养和亲属照顾者的在线横断面调查包括同情疲劳、依恋、反思功能、自我效能和社会支持的测量。结果表明，与帮助专业人士相比，寄养和亲属照顾者的同情疲劳程度更高，而同情满意度水平相同，证实了之前的发现。回归分析显示，较高的同情疲劳与较低的养育满意度、较高的依恋回避和较高的感知和实际情感支持差异相关。事后分析显示，替代照顾者的社会支持来源与不太可能满足期望的正式支持之间存在显著差异。描述性统计还强调，样本中亲属照顾者的反思功能培训水平低，家庭收入水平低。根据COVID-19限制期间的数据收集时间和抽样策略，讨论了这些发现。在获得有资格的支持方面，社会支持与依恋回避之间的关联对临床和社会服务都有影响。

Financial wellbeing during childhood shapes long-term outcomes into adulthood. This study used data from the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study (FFCWS) to examine inter- and intragenerational poverty among mothers in persistent poverty (n = 654), defined as living below the federal poverty threshold at least 50 % of the time through their child’s age 15. Using logistic regression, we analyzed the associations between maternal weeks worked, government assistance, and poverty mobility—both within a generation and across generations—as well as young adults’ material hardship at age 22. Independent variables included maternal employment and public benefit receipt; dependent variables included maternal poverty status change, child poverty status, and young adult material hardship. Results indicated that mothers who received public assistance had lower odds of remaining in poverty and of passing poverty to their children. Maternal factors were more predictive of intergenerational than intragenerational mobility. However, young adults who worked more weeks and received benefits were also more likely to face material hardship. These findings suggest that although assistance targets vulnerable populations, it may fall short in addressing basic needs. Further research is needed to explore persistent material hardship among young adults raised by unmarried mothers.

童年时期的财务状况会影响成年后的长期业绩。本研究使用来自未来家庭和儿童福利研究（FFCWS）的数据来检查持续贫困母亲（n = 654）的代际和代际贫困，定义为在孩子15岁之前至少有50%的时间生活在联邦贫困线以下。使用逻辑回归，我们分析了母亲工作周数、政府援助和贫困流动性之间的关系——包括一代人和跨代人——以及年轻人在22岁时的物质困难。自变量包括产妇就业和公共福利收入；因变量包括母亲贫困状况变化、儿童贫困状况和青年物质困难。结果表明，接受公共援助的母亲保持贫困和将贫困传给子女的几率较低。与代内流动性相比，母亲因素更能预测代际流动性。然而，工作时间更长并领取福利的年轻人也更有可能面临物质困难。这些发现表明，虽然援助针对的是弱势群体，但可能无法满足基本需求。需要进一步的研究来探讨未婚母亲抚养的年轻人持续的物质困难。

Interventions designed to support families with autistic children often center on the child as the primary agent of change. However, growing research highlights the critical role of parental mental health in shaping both the mental and physical well-being of children. In response to this, we developed Thinking Emotions: a short-term, online, group-based intervention targeting parents as key figures in fostering change. The intervention consisted of four weekly 1.5-hour sessions conducted via Zoom with groups of 8–12 parents of autistic children (ages 2–18) recruited through social media. The sessions focused on fostering parental camaraderie, enhancing parental reflective functioning, and strengthening emotion regulation—skills that are particularly vital for autistic children, who often require additional support in developing their own mentalization and emotional regulation abilities. Parents reported noticeable improvements in their parenting approaches and a deeper understanding of their autistic children as early as the third session. To illustrate the depth of the intervention and the transformative processes parents undergo, we present two detailed case studies: one examining the dynamics and therapeutic impact of the group setting, and another offering an in-depth look at the journey of an individual parent. These case studies provide qualitative insights into the effectiveness of parental interventions in fostering emotional growth and improved parent–child relationships. Findings suggest that interventions targeting parents can serve as a powerful means of supporting families with autistic children. Future research should explore the long-term impact of such interventions and further refine strategies for sustaining parental and familial well-being.

为支持有自闭症儿童的家庭而设计的干预措施通常以儿童为中心，将其作为改变的主要动因。然而，越来越多的研究强调了父母的心理健康在塑造儿童身心健康方面的关键作用。为此，我们开发了“思考情绪”（Thinking Emotions）：一种短期的、在线的、基于群体的干预方式，目标是将父母作为促进变革的关键人物。干预包括通过社交媒体招募的8-12名自闭症儿童（2-18岁）的父母，通过Zoom进行每周四次1.5小时的会议。会议的重点是培养父母的同志情谊，增强父母的反思功能，加强情绪调节技能，这对自闭症儿童尤其重要，他们经常需要额外的支持来发展自己的心智和情绪调节能力。早在第三次治疗中，父母们就报告说，他们的育儿方法有了明显的改善，对自闭症孩子的理解也有了更深入的了解。为了说明干预的深度和父母经历的转变过程，我们提出了两个详细的案例研究：一个研究小组设置的动态和治疗影响，另一个提供了一个深入的观察父母个人的旅程。这些案例研究为父母干预在促进情感成长和改善亲子关系方面的有效性提供了定性的见解。研究结果表明，针对父母的干预措施可以作为支持自闭症儿童家庭的有力手段。未来的研究应该探索这些干预措施的长期影响，并进一步完善维持父母和家庭幸福的策略。

Objective

This study explores any known information about re-entry into out-of-home placements, use of trial home visit and practices to prevent re-entry and provide guidance to child welfare practitioners, policy makers, and providers who want to access available information about re-entry by state in the U.S.

Methods

Data was from two surveys and multiple public sources. Sources were combined to determine which states were using trial home visits and how that impacted re-entry. Multivariate regression included use of re-entry rates at before 12 and after 12 months, urbanicity, removal rates, and Child and Family Service Review Round 3 rating of services to prevent removals and re-entries.

Results

We found a significant positive relationship between the identified CFSR rating of services to prevent removal or re-entry and re-entry rates after 12 months. We did not find an association between trial home visit and re-entry rates.

Conclusions

More focus is needed on the use of trial home visit across the U.S. given the promising early findings about the efficacy of THV on reducing reentry and that states can provide funds through Title IV-E to reunify families using this mechanism.

目的：本研究探讨了任何已知的关于重新进入家庭外安置的信息，使用试探性家访和实践来防止重新进入，并为儿童福利从业者、政策制定者和提供者提供指导，他们希望获得美国各州关于重新进入的可用信息。将资料来源结合起来，以确定哪些州正在试行家访，以及这对重返社会有何影响。多变量回归包括使用12个月前和12个月后的再入率、城市化、搬迁率以及儿童和家庭服务审查第3轮服务评级，以防止搬迁和再入。结果：我们发现，预防离职或再入服务的CFSR评级与12个月后的再入率之间存在显著的正相关。我们没有发现试探性家访和再入率之间的联系。结论：考虑到THV在减少重返社会方面的有效性的早期发现，以及各州可以通过标题IV-E提供资金，使用这种机制使家庭团聚，需要更多地关注在美国各地试用家访的使用。
