Gendered Racism and Asian American Men’s Hazardous Alcohol Use: The Role of Drinking to Cope
No full textGendered racism has been previously associated with greater alcohol use among Asian American men (AAM), yet the mechanisms underlying this association are not fully understood. This study thus investigated whether gendered racism is associated with hazardous alcohol use among AAM directly and indirectly via drinking to cope and resistance and empowerment against racism. 253 AAM (M = 36.75 years old) completed an online cross-sectional survey that contained the study questionnaires. Hierarchical regression analyses examined the association between gendered racism and hazardous alcohol use, and mediation analyses investigated whether drinking to cope and resistance and empowerment against racism underlied this association. Results showed that gendered racism was positively associated with hazardous alcohol use directly and indirectly via drinking to cope and resistance and empowerment. Our findings suggest AAM may engage in hazardous drinking as a coping mechanism in response to the insidious effects of gendered racism. Engaging in drinking to cope with emotions and activism for racial justice help explain this association. Practitioners may consider prioritizing intersectionality of gender and race in their understanding of AAM’s drinking habits, with possible directions that include exploring ways for AAM to develop more affirming and positive feelings about their identity and developing alternative forms of coping that preclude drinking
La reconquête post-coloniale de góor-jigéen: Repenser le queer au Sénégal
No full textLa question de la diversité des genres et de l’expression sexuelle au Sénégal est prise dans des récits contradictoires. De l\u27époque précoloniale à l\u27ère contemporaine, la variance des genres et des sexualités est de plus en plus perçue négativement dans le domaine socioculturel en raison des implications politiques et religieuses. Alors que la « capitale gay de l\u27Afrique » est devenue une enclave homophobe, quelques oeuvres littéraires et cinématographiques contemporaines déconstruisent les récits nationalistes et tentent d’évoquer un retour à la tolérance dans la période précoloniale à l\u27égard de l\u27homosexualité et de l’expression du genre non-binaire. Dans cette thèse, j\u27analyserai comment deux oeuvres notables, De purs hommes de Mohamed Mbougar Sarr et Karmen Gei de Joseph Ramaka Gei, contestent la diabolisation et l\u27occidentalisation du góor-jigéen (une terme wolof qui signifie l’expression du genre non-binaire) à la fois dans la fiction et dans la réalité au Sénégal

Stakeholder Perspectives on Acceptability of Implementing a Child Mental Health Intervention in Child Welfare Services: A Pilot Study
Full text linkThis study examined the acceptability of a modified 4Rs and 2Ss behavioral parent training intervention within a Child Welfare (CW) placement prevention service. Twelve child welfare staff (caseplanners, supervisors, administrators) and 12 CW-involved families completed surveys, interviews, and a focus group. All quantitative benchmarks for high acceptability were met (e.g., treatment satisfaction, acceptability and appropriateness). Staff valued the intervention’s content and support, but noted concerns about consultation time, training, and role conflict. Families appreciated recruitment, logistical support, group environment, and child/ family wellbeing, but cited barriers with parent-child separation during sessions, group size and duration, certain activities, and the program’s voluntary focus versus crises-oriented needs
