The social and physical characteristics of neighborhoods significantly impact child development, yet children’s perspectives on their environment are underexplored. Understanding these perceptions provides valuable insights for improving their surroundings. To better understand the living environment of children aged 10–14, a mixed methods systematic review of 31 studies (2002–2025) was conducted, in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. The search was conducted in the following databases: PsycInfo, CINAHL, Web of Science, SocINDEX, ERIC and MEDLINE. A converted integrated approach was used to analyze the findings. Preliminary results were discussed in meetings to reduce interpretation bias. The review revealed that children have clearly defined views of what a living environment should entail. Children emphasized that their living environment should support them by fostering a sense of belonging and safety. For children, there is a strong connection between the presence of a supportive living environment, characterized by its conditions, elements, and important role of adults, and their development. However, an important issue that emerges from this review concerns the potential impact of adult researchers on children’s perceptions of their living environment. Future research should be conducted on the living environment from children’s perspectives, recognizing children as both active participants and researchers. PROSPERO: CRD42023468194.
社区的社会和物理特征显著影响儿童的发展，但儿童对环境的看法尚未得到充分探讨。了解这些感知为改善他们的环境提供了有价值的见解。为了更好地了解10-14岁儿童的生活环境，根据PRISMA指南，对31项研究（2002-2025）进行了混合方法系统评价。检索在以下数据库中进行：PsycInfo， CINAHL, Web of Science, SocINDEX， ERIC和MEDLINE。采用转换综合方法分析研究结果。初步结果在会议上进行了讨论，以减少解释偏差。审查显示，儿童对生活环境应该包括什么有明确的看法。孩子们强调，他们的生活环境应该通过培养归属感和安全感来支持他们。对于儿童来说，支持性生活环境的存在（以其条件、要素和成年人的重要作用为特征）与他们的发展之间存在着密切的联系。然而，从这篇综述中出现的一个重要问题是成人研究人员对儿童对其生活环境的看法的潜在影响。未来的研究应该从儿童的角度对生活环境进行研究，认识到儿童既是积极的参与者也是研究者。普洛斯彼罗:CRD42023468194。

Assessing child endangerment in the home environment can be a substantial challenge. It is particularly challenging for social workers with little experience in assessment of risks for child endangerment. The study examines the current knowledge and application of VR-based technologies in training professionals to assess child endangerment, including how these interventions are developed and evaluated using specific tools. It also explores the effects of VR on skills development and participant perception compared to traditional methods and the extent to which they are employed in decision-making for child welfare. A scoping review based on PRISMA-ScR and the Arksey and O’Malley framework was conducted, and seven scientific databases were systematically searched from 2014 to 2024. Of 307 identified studies, ten remained after screening. VR is already used for the training of professionals but is hardly incorporated in the field of social work. VR training is more realistic and immersive than conventional training methods. However, its effectiveness also depends on variables such as technologies used and the incorporation of feedback. Our review indicates that VR serves as an effective, immersive instructional tool for developing essential skills in child welfare risk assessments, offering advantages over traditional methods in realism and user engagement. However, challenges remain in standardizing VR technologies and evaluating their real-world decision-making impacts. While VR-based methods seem to be promising for the assessment training of child endangerment, scientific research is still sparse and does not provide conclusive results for all investigated outcomes.
评估家庭环境中的儿童危害可能是一项重大挑战。对于缺乏评估儿童危险风险经验的社会工作者来说，这尤其具有挑战性。该研究考察了目前基于虚拟现实的技术在培训专业人员评估儿童危害方面的知识和应用，包括如何使用特定工具制定和评估这些干预措施。它还探讨了与传统方法相比，虚拟现实对技能发展和参与者感知的影响，以及它们在儿童福利决策中的应用程度。基于PRISMA-ScR和Arksey and O 'Malley框架进行了范围综述，并对2014 - 2024年的7个科学数据库进行了系统检索。在307项确定的研究中，10项在筛选后保留。虚拟现实已经被用于专业人员的培训，但很少被纳入社会工作领域。VR培训比传统的培训方法更真实、更身临其境。然而，其有效性也取决于诸如所使用的技术和反馈的结合等变量。我们的研究表明，VR是一种有效的沉浸式教学工具，可以培养儿童福利风险评估的基本技能，在现实主义和用户参与方面比传统方法更具优势。然而，在标准化VR技术和评估其现实决策影响方面仍然存在挑战。虽然基于虚拟现实的方法似乎有希望用于儿童危害评估培训，但科学研究仍然很少，并且不能为所有调查结果提供结论性结果。

Structural stigma, which includes policies and attitudes that mark minorities for discrimination, contributes to sexual minority adolescents’ (SMA) stress and mental health disparities, yet the relative contributions of county- vs. state-level stigma remain unknown. This study examined how structural stigma affects SMA exposure to minority stress and mental health symptoms with a U.S. national sample of SMA ( N = 2,558, ages 14-17, M = 15.9), of whom 64.35% were cisgender designated female at birth and 48.28% were bisexual/pansexual. Researchers analyzed links between county- and state-level stigma with anxiety and depression symptoms and assessed whether minority stress mediated these associations. Minority stress significantly linked structural stigma to mental health symptoms. Adolescents in supportive counties and supportive states experienced fewer minority stressors and mental health symptoms compared to those in unsupportive counties of unsupportive states. Locally supportive counties and local action to address structural stigma may protect SMA mental health, even in otherwise unsupportive state contexts.

In Canada, Indigenous Peoples are disproportionately represented in both the child welfare and criminal legal systems. Despite longstanding recognition of this inequity, limited research has examined the impact of out-of-home child welfare placement on arrest within the Canadian context, particularly for Indigenous populations. This study investigates the relationship between intrusive child welfare involvement and arrest, with a focus on the moderating roles of sex and ethnicity. Using data from Canada’s General Social Survey, four hypotheses were tested. Controlling for all study variables, Indigenous Peoples were approximately four and a half times as likely as White individuals to have been arrested in the past 12 months. Individuals with a history of out-of-home placement were more than twice as likely to have been arrested compared to those without such experience. Indigenous Peoples who had experienced out-of-home placement were nearly six times as likely as their White counterparts to have been arrested. The most extreme disparity was observed among Indigenous females with out-of-home placement histories, who were over 94 times more likely to have been arrested than White females with no such history. Even without placement histories, Indigenous females faced the highest risk of arrest. These findings underscore the profound and compounding risks associated with the removal of Indigenous children, particularly girls, from their homes, highlighting the urgent need for policy and systemic reform.
