Foundational Curriculum for the African American Student Network: Synthesis of Discussion Topics and Themes
Get PDFThe African American Student Network (AFAM) is a therapeutic counterspace associated with positive educational and social outcomes for Black undergraduates at a predominantly White institution in the Midwest. We adapted consensual qualitative research methods to explore discussion topics and synthesize themes across hundreds of AFAM meetings spanning more than a decade. Including many of the traditional psychosocial tasks associated with emerging adulthood along with developmental milestones for racially diverse emerging adults, we found that AFAM students talked most about navigating college life followed by understanding racism, exploring identity, standing up for justice, and finding love, respectively. The results of this case study can provide a foundational curriculum for others interested in developing therapeutic counterspaces like AFAM
Why do Adolescents Seek Online Mental Health Information?
Get PDFMany adolescents avoid seeking psychological help despite the increasing prevalence of mental disorders. The current study investigated whether distress and stigma exhibit differential relationships to decisions to seek online mental health information among a sample of predominantly racial/ethnic minority U.S. adolescents. In this investigation, 174 adolescents (Age: M = 15.90, SD = 0.85, Range = 14−19) completed assessments of help-seeking stigma, psychological distress, and a question asking if they would like to view a website with mental health information. Distress was a statistically significant predictor of decisions to seek online mental health information, but stigma was not. Severely distressed boys were more likely to seek online information than severely distressed girls. Evidence-based online resources may be particularly effective ways to support distressed adolescents
A pilot study exploring the viability of focus groups as a brief social media literacy intervention for substance use prevention among adolescents
Get PDFThis study used a sample of high school students (n= 33; M=16.4 years, SD=1.19) to explore whether focus groups (n=4) meant to inform the development of a substance use prevention social media campaign could also serve as a brief social media literacy intervention centered on alcohol and marijuana use prevention. A retrospective pretest was used to measure the effectiveness of focus groups as a social media literacy intervention while focus group transcripts were qualitatively analyzed to identify the active mechanisms that promoted participants’ use of social media literacy. Overall, findings provide preliminary evidence that using focus groups to facilitate social media literacy may be a viable method for addressing online drinking norms and content promoting marijuana use
