Book excerpt: This dissertation examines the influences of LGBTQ positive school climate and state-level anti-bullying policy with sexual and gender minority (SGM) identity enumeration on weight and victimization disparities among sexual minority adolescents. Compared to their heterosexual peers, sexual minority adolescents (those who identify as gay/lesbian or bisexual, or who are unsure of their sexual identity) have higher odds of having obesity and experiencing school violence victimization. The effects of school climate and anti-bullying policy that seek to specifically provide protections for LGBTQ adolescents on the health outcomes of obesity and school violence have rarely been examined, and especially in tandem. Decreasing disparities in both these outcomes would help improve quality of life and decrease morbidity. Therefore, the overall objective of this dissertation is to help fill several gaps in the literature related to obesity, school violence, school climate, and state-level anti-bullying policy with SGM identity enumeration.

Download or read book Schooling Students Placed at Risk written by Mavis G. Sanders and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines historical approaches and current research and practice related to the education of adolescents placed at risk of school failure as a result of social and economic conditions. One major goal is to expand the intellectual exchange among researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and concerned citizens on factors influencing the achievement of poor and minority youth, specifically students in middle and high schools. Another is to encourage increased dialogue about policies and practices that can make a difference in educational opportunities and outcomes for these students. Although the chapters in this volume are not exhaustive, they represent an array of theoretical and methodological approaches that provide readers with new and diverse ways to think about issues of educational equality and opportunity in the United States. A premise that runs through each chapter is that school success is possible for poor and minority adolescents if adequate support from the school, family, and community is available. *The conceptual approach (Section I) places the research and practice on students placed at risk in a historical context and sets the stage for an important reframing of current definitions, research, policies, and practices aimed at this population. *Multiple research methodologies (Sections II and III) allow for comparisons across racial and ethnic groups as well as within groups, and contribute to different and complementary insights. Section III, "Focus on African-American Students," specifically addresses gender and social class differences among African-American adolescents. *Current reform strategies presently being implemented in schools throughout the United States are presented and discussed (Part IV). These strategies or programs highlight how schools, families, and communities can apply research findings like the ones this book presents, thus bridging the often wide gap between social science research and educational practice.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of two studies examining development and wellbeing of sexual minority youth. Both studies rely on data from a large, longitudinal study following ethnically and socioeconomically diverse youth across high school. Both studies examine patterns of romantic attraction using a novel and developmentally sensitive measure. In Study 1, the goals are to identify various attraction patterns at each grade level (9th-12th) as well as compare socioemotional wellbeing across romantic attraction groups. Results from latent class analysis of attraction data revealed five patterns of attraction identified at each grade level, including other-gender attraction, same-gender attraction, and attraction to both boys and girls, as well as classes characterized by uncertainty and by limited attraction. One additional class was identified in 11th and 12th grade as having "heteroflexible" attraction. Further, socioemotional correlates of the attraction classes varied, with multi-gender and heteroflexible youth reporting the most consistent disparities in loneliness and social anxiety, and youth with low or no attraction demonstrating marked differences between the beginning and end of high school. Study 2 focuses on end of high school, examining alignment between romantic attraction and sexual identity at 12th grade. Results indicated that although alignment was high among those attracted exclusively to other gender individuals (identifying as straight) or same-gender individuals (identifying as gay or lesbian), alignment was much lower among the other attraction classes, with high proportions of youth identifying as straight. Disparities in school climate perceptions were demonstrated whether operationalizing sexual orientation as identity or attraction. However, attraction classes with particularly high rates of straight identity--who would be grouped with the sexual majority in identity-based research--were among those reporting that they felt less safe and less like they belonged than sexual majority youth. Taken together, these studies highlight the complexity of adolescent sexual orientation, the importance of focusing on attraction when examining sexual minority adolescents, and differences in wellbeing across sexual orientation groups. These findings make both methodological and conceptual contributions to the current body of literature on sexual minority youth and highlight the need for both researchers and practitioners to broaden their conceptualizations of sexual orientation.

This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bullying has long been tolerated as a rite of passage among children and adolescents. There is an implication that individuals who are bullied must have "asked for" this type of treatment, or deserved it. Sometimes, even the child who is bullied begins to internalize this idea. For many years, there has been a general acceptance and collective shrug when it comes to a child or adolescent with greater social capital or power pushing around a child perceived as subordinate. But bullying is not developmentally appropriate; it should not be considered a normal part of the typical social grouping that occurs throughout a child's life. Although bullying behavior endures through generations, the milieu is changing. Historically, bulling has occurred at school, the physical setting in which most of childhood is centered and the primary source for peer group formation. In recent years, however, the physical setting is not the only place bullying is occurring. Technology allows for an entirely new type of digital electronic aggression, cyberbullying, which takes place through chat rooms, instant messaging, social media, and other forms of digital electronic communication. Composition of peer groups, shifting demographics, changing societal norms, and modern technology are contextual factors that must be considered to understand and effectively react to bullying in the United States. Youth are embedded in multiple contexts and each of these contexts interacts with individual characteristics of youth in ways that either exacerbate or attenuate the association between these individual characteristics and bullying perpetration or victimization. Recognizing that bullying behavior is a major public health problem that demands the concerted and coordinated time and attention of parents, educators and school administrators, health care providers, policy makers, families, and others concerned with the care of children, this report evaluates the state of the science on biological and psychosocial consequences of peer victimization and the risk and protective factors that either increase or decrease peer victimization behavior and consequences.

Book Synopsis Examining Health and Mental Health Disparities Between Sexual Minority Youth and Heterosexual Youth in the United States by : Savarra K. Tadeo
Download or read book Examining Health and Mental Health Disparities Between Sexual Minority Youth and Heterosexual Youth in the United States written by Savarra K. Tadeo and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although various studies and systematic reviews have found an association between sexual orientation and health and mental health outcomes, few studies have examined a specific sample of adolescents aged 14 to 18 years of age that is generalizable to the entire United States population, while applying minority stress theory and general strain theory to a host of negative mental health outcomes and health risk behaviors in one study. The objective of this thesis is to examine a host of health and mental health outcomes among youth aged 14 to 18 years from a study generalizable to the entire United States population, while also applying minority stress theory and general strain theory, to find out whether sexual minority youth are at greater risk of experiencing poor health and mental health outcomes than their heterosexual peers. Controlling for age, sex, and race/ethnicity, this thesis examined a host of health and mental health outcomes among youth to find out whether sexual minority youth are at greater risk of experiencing poor health and mental health outcomes than their heterosexual peers. Data for this study came Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's 2017 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS). A sample of 14,547 youth aged 14-18 years (50.1% female) was analyzed using weighted binary logistic regression to determine the association between sexual orientation and 24 dependent variables in the following categories: school safety and violent behaviors, victimization, mental health, suicidal behaviors, substance use, obesity, and protective factors. Of the 14,547 youth examined, 85.4% self-identified as heterosexual, 2.4% as lesbian/gay, 7.9% as bisexual, and 4.2% as unsure. Controlling for age, sex, and race/ethnicity, youth who self-identified as sexual minority (lesbian/gay, bisexual or unsure) were significantly more likely to engage in violent behaviors, be victimized, report poor mental health, engage in suicidal behaviors, engage in substance use, and be obese (adjusted odds ratios ranged from 1.42 to 6.38) compared to youth M.S.W. Thesis 3 who self-identified as heterosexual. Youth who self-identified as sexual minority were significantly less likely to describe themselves as earning mostly A's or B's, played on a sports team, or were physically active (adjusted odds ratios ranged from 0.51 to 0.70) compared to youth who self-identified as heterosexual. The findings of this thesis extend past research on disparities of sexual minority youth and heterosexual youth in studies involving small samples or specific geographic locations that are not generalizable to the entire United States population, and this thesis uses these findings to explore implications for social work policy and practice.
Book Synopsis Predicting Adverse Outcomes for Sexual Minority Youth from a Prospective Study of Adolescent Health and Wellbeing by : Hunter A. Hahn
Download or read book Predicting Adverse Outcomes for Sexual Minority Youth from a Prospective Study of Adolescent Health and Wellbeing written by Hunter A. Hahn and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sexual minority youth and young adults experience disparities across major mental and physical health domains. Minority stress theory holds that disparities are widely attributable to unique minority stress experiences (e.g., homophobic victimization). Although these disparities are well documented in mainly cross-sectional and majority white samples, existing research suggests that Black sexual minority youth and young adults may experience both increased stigma (e.g., racism, homophobia, and specifically anti-Black homophobia) and resilience factors that, in some cases, can mitigate or exacerbate impacts of stigma on health outcomes. However, comparably less is known about potential differences in longitudinal health outcomes between Black sexual minority youth, non-Black sexual minority youth, and their heterosexual peers. Therefore, to work toward amelioration of disparities for all sexual minorities, additional work is needed to both document and describe health disparities among racially diverse sexual minority youth. Further, past work has identified dozens of risk and resilience factors associated with wide-ranging adverse outcomes both among sexual minorities and the general population. These variables are often studied in isolation, limiting understanding of what factors may be most important in predicting adverse outcomes. In the present study, n = 337 participants (72% female) completed a standardized questionnaire battery approximately every 6 months for up to 4 years assessing mental health, demographic factors, broad risk factors/coping skills, substance use, and other biopsychosocial health factors. Most participants identified as Black/African American or multiracial/Black (n = 192, 57%), and across all time points participants ranged in age from 14-23 (M = 17.15 years, SD = 1.45), with close to half reporting a sexual minority identity (n = 161, 47.8%). I had three study aims to address existing gaps in the literature: (1) Aim 1: Model developmental trajectories of adverse outcomes for Black and non-Black heterosexual and sexual minority youth and test minority stress theory. Multilevel modeling was used to examine trajectories for depression, anxiety, suicidality, delinquency, physical health, problematic alcohol use, and sexual orientation-based victimization; (2) use machine learning to identify prospective predictors of anxiety, depression, suicidality, problematic alcohol use, delinquency, disordered eating, and physical health; and (3) use longitudinal mediation and moderation analyses to probe indirect pathways between sexual orientation-based victimization and psychopathology. Results identified commonalities and differences in developmental trajectories for adverse outcomes between race and sexual orientation groups. Machine learning models were effective in predicting outcomes and highlighting variable importance. Finally, moderated mediation models described potential longitudinal pathways between minority stress and adverse outcomes, with some differences noted between Black and non-Black sexual minorities. I discuss potential implications of these findings, including limitations and directions for future research.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

This book was released on 2021-01-23 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increase in prevalence and visibility of sexually gender diverse (SGD) populations illuminates the need for greater understanding of the ways in which current laws, systems, and programs affect their well-being. Individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, asexual, transgender, non-binary, queer, or intersex, as well as those who express same-sex or -gender attractions or behaviors, will have experiences across their life course that differ from those of cisgender and heterosexual individuals. Characteristics such as age, race and ethnicity, and geographic location intersect to play a distinct role in the challenges and opportunities SGD people face. Understanding the Well-Being of LGBTQI+ Populations reviews the available evidence and identifies future research needs related to the well-being of SDG populations across the life course. This report focuses on eight domains of well-being; the effects of various laws and the legal system on SGD populations; the effects of various public policies and structural stigma; community and civic engagement; families and social relationships; education, including school climate and level of attainment; economic experiences (e.g., employment, compensation, and housing); physical and mental health; and health care access and gender-affirming interventions. The recommendations of Understanding the Well-Being of LGBTQI+ Populations aim to identify opportunities to advance understanding of how individuals experience sexuality and gender and how sexual orientation, gender identity, and intersex status affect SGD people over the life course.
