Theory to Practice: Applications for Transforming School Violence and Maladaptive Behaviors in Black and Latino Males.
No full textMotivated by the need to counter negative social influences and maladaptive behaviors, this study aims to address the impact of living with and experiencing violence in schools. While a vast body of literature discusses the prevalence and consequences of school violence, there is a significant lack of solution-oriented research that provides actionable strategies for effectively addressing and preventing these issues. Guided by the question do collaborative school environments reduce maladaptive behaviors in Black and Latino male students, this study bridges theory and practice in diverse high school settings. Using an educational equity framework and evidence-based interventions, it aims to offer insights that could reshape practices and policies on school violence, supporting historically marginalized student populations.https://digital.library.ncat.edu/honorscollegesymposium25/1016/thumbnail.jp
Health Social Media’s Influence on Gen Z African American Women
No full textSocial media platforms often serve as sources of community and culturally relevant health information, providing accessibility to healthy lifestyle choices. This study explored the health and fitness messages that Generation Z (Gen Z), African American female college students encounter on social media, aiming to understand how these messages influence health behaviors and can inform culturally tailored health interventions. Data collection occurred in two phases, the first involved interviews with 35 participants about their perceptions of health messages on social media, while phase 2 investigated 19 participants\u27 eating and fitness habits. All participants attended a large historically Black university. Qualitative analysis revealed three recurring themes: fitspiration, exercise, and nutrition awareness. The fitspiration theme highlighted motivational content promoting fitness and body positivity linked to specific health goals, while exercise involved actual engagement in physical activity. Nutrition awareness explored the influence of social media trends on dietary choices and nutritional knowledge. The findings suggest that social media provides health information to Gen Z African American women, particularly when they actively seek it out. However, it remains unclear whether the sporadic nature of health information encountered casually can have a long-term impact on health behaviors. Limitations of the study include the sample of college students, which may affect their engagement with social media and response to health-related messages. Future phases of the study will include quantitative data collection to assess whether social media messages lead to changes in health behaviors.https://digital.library.ncat.edu/honorscollegesymposium25/1011/thumbnail.jp
