Sep 2nd 2024, 15:16

Abstract
Student-run asylum clinics within medical schools represent a promising alternative to costly medicolegal services for people seeking asylum by providing pro bono forensic medical evaluations. However, there exist significant operational barriers to creating and developing such clinics, which depend largely on volunteerism and limited financial budgets. This policy and practice note not only presents a framework aimed at navigating these barriers in developing a student-run asylum clinic but also outlines critical challenges and recommendations for addressing them. We describe three principal components of clinic structure: community outreach and service, administration of forensic medical evaluations, and continuity of care. We also highlight challenges, such as access to a physical space for evaluations, maintenance of interpreter access and quality, standardization of clinician evaluator expectations, clinician evaluator availability, and evaluator wellbeing. Recommendations include the incorporation of a diversity of referral sources, opportunities for clinician-clinician shadowing, evaluation quality assessment, affidavit standardization, and development of interdisciplinary partnership.

Sep 2nd 2024, 15:11

Rehabilitation Psychology, Vol 69(3), Aug 2024, 206-216; doi:10.1037/rep0000549
Purpose/Objectives: The fear–avoidance model is a well-established framework for understanding the transition from acute to chronic pain. However, its applicability to concussions is not yet well understood. Here, we conduct the first mixed methods analysis of the fear–avoidance model in young adults with a recent concussion and co-occurring anxiety and assess the model’s alignment with their lived experience. Research Method/Design: We conducted a mixed methods analysis using a cross-sectional parallel design. Seventeen participants completed questionnaires corresponding with the elements in the fear–avoidance model (e.g., pain catastrophizing, avoidance, disability, anxiety, depression, etc.) and participated in semistructured interviews probing their experiences following their concussion between March 2021 and February 2022. We calculated bivariate correlations for quantitative data and analyzed the qualitative data using hybrid inductive–deductive thematic analysis. Results: Quantitative results demonstrated strong and medium-sized correlations among theorized relationships within the fear–avoidance model (rs = .40–.85) with the majority being statistically significant. Qualitative results provided substantial convergent and complementary support (e.g., bi-directionality of some relationships, associations between nonadjacent model components, centrality of anxiety in symptom persistence) for the application of the fear–avoidance model to concussions. Findings highlighted additional factors (social factors and post-injury endurance patterns) relevant to this population. Conclusion/Implications: The fear–avoidance model is a useful lens for understanding the lived experience of young adults with a recent concussion and co-occurring anxiety. Psychosocial treatment for this population would benefit from focusing on the interplay of concussion symptoms, anxiety, depression, disability, and pain-related fear, offering adaptive confrontation strategies, and addressing the interpersonal impact of concussion.

Sep 2nd 2024, 14:44

Abstract
A significant amount of research has been devoted to studying the sociopolitical incorporation of immigrants and their descendants both socially and structurally. However, questions remain about how psychological mechanisms play a role in the incorporation process. While some immigrants might internalize a sense of social alienation, others might be able to overcome the detrimental impact of historical and present-day exclusion and develop a psychological notion of belonging to US society. To test the role of a psychological mechanism in the incorporation process, I rely on national survey data from the 2016 Collaborative Multiracial Post-Election Survey and a novel survey experiment. By leveraging these data, I examine the determinants of perceptions of inclusion in the United States among Latinos. The findings present a mixed picture of incorporation. I find that as Latinos become more familiarized with the United States culturally and socially, they are more likely to develop a sense of belonging. However, both experiencing discrimination and perceiving that the in-group faces discrimination negatively shape Latinos’ psychological sense of belongingness. Furthermore, receiving hostile messaging causes Latinos to feel less included in the US society. This paper highlights a social psychological mechanism of racialized incorporation, capturing whether immigrants and their descendants feel that they belong and are part of the host society.

Faces From An American Dream features black-and-white photographs by Mr. Desht, who notes that “for much of the 20th century, Pennsylvania was the most heavily and diversely industrialized state in America.  Pittsburgh was famous for thirty miles of steel mills, Philadelphia billed itself the “workshop of the world,” the Pennsylvania Railroad traversed half the country and the state’s anthracite fueled the nation.” By the 1980’s,” Desht continues “both cities were examples of Rust Belt de-industrialization as America’s economy shifted from industrial manufacturing to service and information. Faces From An American Dream depicts how this transition re-defined the American industrial city and what it meant for skilled and unskilled workers in search of the American dream.

Sep 2nd 2024, 14:12

Abstract
The use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) is on the rise among young adults, with higher public acceptance than traditional tobacco. A study in Taiwan employed concept mapping to explore risk and benefit perceptions of e-cigarette use among college students. The study involved 100 college students from 11 Taiwanese universities, with 50 being e-cigarette users and 50 non-users. Data collection and analysis were done with the GroupWisdom platform. Participants engaged in brainstorming, rating and sorting their perceptions, which were analyzed using multidimensional scaling and hierarchical cluster analyses. The participants’ mean age was 19.24 years, and 55% were male. This process resulted in the identification of 10 clusters encompassing 64 statements, with 3 clusters focused on risk perceptions, 6 on benefit perceptions, and 1 dealing with e-cigarette regulations. Notably, risk perceptions were rated higher than benefit perceptions. Non-users held significantly higher risk perceptions and lower benefit perceptions across the nine clusters related to e-cigarette use. Concept mapping proved to be an effective tool for understanding college students’ perceptions. These findings can assist health educators in comprehending college students’ viewpoints on e-cigarette use and in developing targeted interventions. Additionally, exploring benefit perceptions may enhance students’ critical thinking skills regarding e-cigarette advertising.

Sep 2nd 2024, 13:12

Abstract
Given their value, literature reviews and syntheses are featured in numerous family-centered academic journals, including the flagship journals of the National Council on Family Relations. Although literature reviews and syntheses, including meta-analyses, have been published in family-centered academic journals for decades, the application of these methods to topics germane to family science has increased substantially over time. This trend—coupled with a desire to support the conduct of high-quality literature reviews and syntheses in family science—prompted the development of this article, which aims to provide an efficient, didactic overview of common literature review and synthesis approaches, including meta-analysis. This article also offers several considerations intended to support family scholars’ efforts to develop strong literature reviews, syntheses, and meta-analyses, particularly ones intended for publication in family-centered academic journals. The skillful application of these methods will support family scholars’ continued efforts to enrich, guide, and advance family science.

Sep 2nd 2024, 12:26

Abstract
Human rights bodies formulate highly specific orders to minimize the risk of State non-compliance. However, specificity comes at a cost, reducing State autonomy when local agents implement measures on the ground. This article develops the concept of specificity in human rights reparations and analyses the specificity formulas deployed by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in structural measures as a form of positive subsidiarity. We employ qualitative data analysis software to process 322 measures of non-repetition ordered by the Inter-American Court through to the end of 2020. This analysis identifies two modes of specificity: process-based, which defines procedures for compliance, and outcome-based, which sets the goals for the State. After coding over 800 segments of text from Court decisions, we outline an exhaustive legal framework with 26 process-based categories and 2 outcome-based forms of specificity. We conclude that outcome-based specificity can help courts balance positive subsidiarity and State autonomy in the design of reparations.

Sep 2nd 2024, 12:26

Abstract
Activism inherently involves emotional engagement, often stemming from personal experiences, connections to the issue, or fuelled by emotions like anger, frustration, and a drive for positive social change. This article builds upon Hochschild’s concept of emotional labour, expanding its scope to encompass the emotional dimensions of activism among college students. We delve into the lived experiences of 67 college student activists in the mid-Atlantic region of the USA, uncovering the emotional impetuses driving their activism, the challenges of activist burnout resulting from their emotional labour, and the strategies employed to navigate its emotional toll. By analysing the emotional narratives shared by these student activists, this article seeks to contribute to the understanding of academics and practitioners by constructing a comprehensive framework that illuminates how emotions affect their activism toward effecting transformative social change.

Sep 2nd 2024, 12:26

Abstract
The face inversion effect is an important indicator of holistic face perception and reflects the developmental level of face processing. This study examined the face inversion effect in deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) children aged 7–17 using the face dimensions task. This task uses photographic images of a face, in which configural and featural information in the eye and mouth regions have been parametrically and independently manipulated. The study aimed to discuss the effect of face inversion on facial processing in DHH children, including two aspects of information processing types (configural versus featural) and processing regions (eyes versus mouth) and compared the results with hearing children. The results revealed that DHH children aged 7–17 years exhibit significant face inversion effect, with disruptions observed in both the featural and configural processing of eyes and mouths when faces were inverted. Configural processing was more affected by inversion than featural processing in all children, with larger differences observed in DHH children than in hearing children. This supports the dual-mode hypothesis of holistic face processing. Age correlations were observed in the sensitivity of DHH children to face inversion effect but not among hearing children. The inversion effect of configural mouth processing decreases with age in DHH children.

Sep 2nd 2024, 12:25

ABSTRACT
The transitional justice field has shown great versatility in its response to the consequences of conflicts, dealing with human rights violations, addressing legacies of the past and tackling emerging issues and vulnerabilities. This editorial reflects on Africa’s three decades of implementing transitional justice with a focus on key lessons learnt and their contribution to the betterment of transitional justice offering on the continent. The editorial discusses an African transformative justice as codified in the African Union Transitional Justice Policy as responsive, resonant and contextually relevant to the lived realities on the continent. The editorial argues that the African Union Transitional Justice Policy is the embodiment of lessons learnt from transitional justice practice on the continent and demonstrates the adaptability and expansion of the frontiers of transitional justice to address emerging issues as well as both historical legacies and most recent violations.

Sep 2nd 2024, 12:25

Abstract
Value-based healthcare (VBHC) has been defined as the measured improvement in a person’s health outcomes and clinical experience against the financial costs.(1) The concept attempts to focus on the issue of reconciling the rising cost of healthcare with improving the outcomes for people who receive care by asking how we can obtain “value” defined as better outcomes at lower cost. More recently the impact of climate change has been added to the equation, defining the “sustainable value” of a service as being measured by the best health outcomes against its economic costs, including environmental and social cost.(2)

Sep 2nd 2024, 12:25

Abstract
BackgroundThere have been growing concerns about the wellbeing of staff in inpatient mental health settings, with studies suggesting that they have higher burnout and greater work-related stress levels than staff in other healthcare sectors. When addressing staff wellbeing, psychological safety can be a useful concept. However, there is no measure of psychological safety that is suitable for use in inpatient mental health settings. Edmondson (1999) is the most commonly used measure of psychological safety, but it was designed for use in general physical healthcare settings. As inpatient mental health settings are unique environments, transferability of knowledge from physical to mental healthcare settings cannot be assumed.MethodsWe sought to develop questionnaire items that capture psychological safety amongst healthcare staff working in acute inpatient mental healthcare settings.We used the nominal group technique, a consensus method involving rounds of discussion, idea generation and item rating/ranking to identify priorities. Twenty-eight stakeholders participated, including 4 who had lived experience of mental health problems, 11 academics and 18 healthcare professionals (eight participants identified with more than one category). The study involved a workshop with three parts: 1) an overview of current research and limitations of the Edmondson (1999) measure as outlined above, 2) discussion on what items should be retained from the Edmondson (1999) measure, and 3) discussion on what items should be added to the Edmondson (1999) measure.ResultsTwenty-one items were generated and retained to capture psychological safety in inpatient mental health settings. These measure professionals’ sense of being valued by their team and organisation, feeling supported at work, feeling physically safe and protected from physical harm, and knowing they can raise concerns about risk and safety.ConclusionThis is the first study to generate questionnaire items suitable for measuring staff psychological safety in mental health settings. These have been generated via a consensus method to ensure stakeholder’s views are reflected. Further research is needed to evaluate factor structure, internal reliability and convergent validity.

Sep 2nd 2024, 12:24

Abstract
Background:Patient experience is an important descriptor of the human experience of healthcare. Specifically, it is described as the sum of all interactions, shaped by an organisation’s culture, that influence patient perceptions, across the continuum of care. Currently patient experience is measured with a focus on the hospital experience. By focussing on elective perioperative care, patient experience across the full continuum of care can be explored. A scoping review was designed to map the important components of patient experience, reported from previous studies of patients’ perspectives, across the full continuum of care. The aims of this scoping review were to identify 1) key components of patients’ experience and 2) strategies where clinicians have influenced this experience.Methods:A systematic search of four key databases was performed in 2022 and updated in 2023, to identify primary research articles describing the complete perioperative experience for adults who have had elective surgery. Patient reports were extracted and compared to summarise key components of patient experience across preoperative, in-hospital and postoperative care, and to identify components of patient experience that clinicians could influence.Results:From 10 included studies, four important patient experience themes have emerged as realistic expectations, accurate information, consistent communication and individualised care. Four foci for clinicians to influence patients’ experience include careful monitoring around pain management, psychological recovery, coordination of care and return to function. A matrix of clinicians’ points of influence and patient experience is presented to demonstrate how clinicians have influenced important components of patient experience across preoperative, in-hospital and postoperative care.Conclusion:This review summarises patients’ reports of their experience across the complete perioperative continuum of care. The multi-dimensional nature of the patient experience is represented in four patient experience themes. Four focus areas in which clinicians can influence patients’ experiences across the continuum of care are key to understanding and respecting the human experience in healthcare. This dynamic description of patient experience may focus clinicians’ understanding of this complex construct and assist their practical engagement with patients. Further work is needed to ensure these themes are sufficiently relevant and comprehensive for current and future patients. Practical strategies will be important for clinicians to individualise and deliver perioperative care that respects and enhances their patients’ experiences.

Sep 2nd 2024, 12:24

Abstract
Gender impacts exposure and vulnerability to TB, evidenced by a higher prevalence of both TB disease and missed TB diagnoses among men, who significantly contribute to new TB infections. We present the formative research phase of a study which used participatory methods to identify gender-specific interventions for systematic screening of TB among men in Uganda. Health facility level data was collected at four Ugandan general hospitals (Kawolo, Gombe, Mityana, and Nakaseke) among 70 TB stakeholders, including healthcare workers, TB survivors, policymakers, and researchers. Using health seeking pathways, they delineated and compared men’s ideal and actual step-by-step TB health seeking processes to identify barriers to TB care. The stepping stones method, depicting barriers as a ‘river’ and each ‘steppingstone’ as a solution, was employed to identify interventions which would help link men with TB symptoms to care. These insights were then synthesized in a co-analysis meeting with 17 participants including representatives from each health facility to develop a consensus on proposed interventions. Data across locations revealed the actual TB care pathway diverted from the ideal pathway due to health system, community, health worker and individual level barriers such as delayed health seeking, unfavourable facility operating hours and long waiting times that conflicted with men’s work schedules. Stakeholders proposed to address these barriers through the introduction of male-specific services; integrated TB services that prioritize X-ray screening for men with cough; healthcare worker training modules on integrated male-friendly services; training and supporting TB champions to deliver health education to people seeking care; and engagement of private practitioners to screen for TB. In conclusion, our participatory co-design approach facilitated dialogue, learning, and consensus between different health actors on context-specific, person-centred TB interventions for men in Uganda. The acceptability, effectiveness and cost effectiveness of the package will now be evaluated in a pilot study.

Sep 2nd 2024, 12:24

Abstract
Tuberculosis infection prevention and control (TB IPC) measures are a cornerstone of policy, but measures are diverse and variably implemented. Limited attention has been paid to the health system environment which influences successful implementation of these measures. We used qualitative system dynamics and group-model-building methods 1) develop a qualitative causal map of the interlinked drivers of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) transmission in South African primary health care facilities which in turn, helped us to 2) identify plausible IPC interventions to reduce risk of transmission.Two one-day participatory workshops were held in 2019 with policy- and decision-makers at national and provincial level, and patient advocates and health professionals at clinic and district level. Causal loop diagrams were generated by participants and combined by investigators. The research team reviewed diagrams to identify the drivers of nosocomial transmission of Mtb in primary health care facilities. Interventions proposed by participants were mapped onto diagrams to identify anticipated mechanisms of action and effect.Three systemic drivers were identified: 1) Mtb nosocomial transmission is driven by bottlenecks in patient flow at given times; 2) IPC implementation and clinic processes are anchored within a staff “culture of nominal compliance”; and 3) limited systems-learning at policy level inhibits effective clinic management and IPC implementation. Interventions prioritised by workshop participants included infrastructural, organisational, and behavioural strategies that target three areas: 1) improve air quality; 2) improve use of personal protective equipment; and 3) reduce the number of individuals in the clinic. In addition to core mechanisms, participants elaborated specific additional enablers that would help sustain implementation.Qualitative system dynamics modelling (SDM) methods allowed us to capture stakeholder views and potential solutions to address the problem of sub-optimal TB IPC implementation. The participatory elements of SDM facilitated problem-solving and inclusion of multiple factors frequently neglected when considering implementation.

Sep 2nd 2024, 12:24

Abstract
Objective
To evaluate feasibility/acceptability of a virtual, group mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) adapted for pediatric type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Methods
This two-way controlled trial randomized adolescents 1:1 to MBI (n = 20) or health education (HE; n = 22) groups lasting 6–7 weeks. Eligibility included 12–17 years, T1D ≥ 1 year, and elevated scores on PROMIS depression or anxiety measures. Recruitment, retention, and session attendance were tracked to measure feasibility. Acceptability was measured via youth-reported post-session surveys. Adolescents completed depression, anxiety, and diabetes-specific surveys at baseline, immediately post-program, and 3 months post-program completion. HbA1c values approximating these timeframes were obtained from chart review.
Results
55% of screened participants were eligible to participate, and 100% of eligible youth enrolled. There was 93% study retention and 96% session attendance rates. Survey data were 100% complete at baseline, and 93% complete at post-program and 3-month follow-ups; 83% and 78% of MBI participants rated sessions as at least somewhat enjoyable and helpful, respectively, and 91% and 82% of HE participants rated sessions as at least somewhat enjoyable and helpful, respectively. Mean scores showed declines in depression, anxiety, disordered eating, diabetes distress, and HbA1c in both groups across time, with trends toward potential greater reductions in depression and HbA1c in MBI.
Conclusions
This pilot provides preliminary evidence that virtual MBI and HE groups adapted for adolescents with T1D are feasible to deliver and acceptable, with potential improvement in psychosocial, behavioral, and diabetes-specific outcomes. Whether MBI is more effective for targeting negative affect and glycemic control in the context of adolescent T1D requires testing in a full-scale efficacy trial.

Sep 2nd 2024, 12:23

Abstract
Objective
To evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of Telehealth Behavioral Parent Training (T-BPT), a school telehealth group intervention for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with a companion training program for school clinicians.
Methods
T-BPT was developed in an iterative three-phase design in partnership with community stakeholders during the COVID-19 pandemic. School clinicians (N = 4) delivered T-BPT over 8 weeks to parents (N = 21, groups of 5–6 per school) of children (Grades 2–5) with ADHD while simultaneously receiving training and consultation from PhD-level study trainers. A single-arm open trial was used to assess feasibility, engagement, and preliminary efficacy.
Results
Parents and school clinicians endorsed high feasibility, acceptability, and usability of T-BPT. Parent attendance was high (M = 94.6%) and a majority of parents (66.7%) attended all eight sessions. Preliminary outcomes indicate moderate to large reductions in parent-reported ADHD symptoms (ω2 = .36), functional and clinical global impairment (ω2s= .21 and .19, respectively), and distance learning challenges (ω2 = .22).
Conclusions
Results were in line with in-person delivery, indicating promising feasibility of school telehealth BPT groups. This study also provided further support for the feasibility of the remote training model for school clinicians. Implications of the commonly endorsed barriers and benefits beyond COVID-19 and relevance to under resourced communities are also discussed.

Sep 2nd 2024, 12:23

Abstract
Objective
This systematic review, performed in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines, seeks to summarize the interventions that have been developed in order to improve executive functioning and attention in children born prematurely.
Methods
The PICOS framework helped guide the structure and relevant terms selected for the study. Electronic systematic searches of the databases PubMed (NLM), Ovid Medline, Ovid All EBM Reviews, Ovid Embase, and Ovid PsycINFO were completed in March 2022. This review focuses on interventions that target attention and executive functioning in prematurely born children between birth and 12 years old, with outcome measures assessed between 3 and 12 years old, even if the age range in the study can exceed our own parameters. Data extraction included sample characteristics, country of recruitment, type of intervention, description of the intervention group and control group, outcome measures, and overall results. An assessment of the quality of methodology of studies was performed through an adaptation of the Downs and Black checklist for both randomized and nonrandomized studies in healthcare interventions. An assessment of the risk of bias was also presented using the Cochrane risk of bias tool for randomized trials 2.0.
Results
A total of 517 premature children received an intervention at some point between birth and early adolescence. Eleven different interventions were assessed in 17 studies, with rating of the quality of methodology and outcomes ranging from lower quality studies (44% quality rating) to robust studies (96% quality rating) in terms of reporting standards, external and internal validity, and power. Five of those studies focused on interventions administered in the neonatal intensive care unit or shortly postdischarge (e.g., the Mother–Infant Transaction Program and the Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program, documented in two articles each [11%] or the Infant Behavioral Assessment and Intervention Program assessed in one study [about 5%]), while 12 articles reported on interventions administered between the ages of 1.5–12 years old [mostly computerized cognitive training programs such as Cogmed (23%) and BrainGame Brian (17%)]. Of the 17 articles examined, 12 (70%) showed positive short-term outcomes postintervention and 3 (17%) demonstrated positive long-term results with small to large effect sizes (0.23–2.3). Among included studies, 50% showed an overall high risk of bias, 21.4% showed some concerns, and 28.6% were low risk of bias.
Conclusions
Due to the heterogeneity of the programs reviewed, the presented findings should be interpreted as descriptive results. A careful and individualized selection from the various available interventions should be made based on the target population (i.e., age at intervention administration and outcome testing) before implementing these program protocols in clinical settings.

Sep 2nd 2024, 12:23

Abstract
For refugees, forced displacement in combination with increasingly strict barriers to family reunification means that transnational care relationships are often their only way of caring for their families. These relationships are often complicated by the precarious living conditions of family members and are also more liable to disruptions through recurring instability as well as limitations to mobility or connectivity. In this article, I investigate the transnational experiences of refugees settled in New Zealand and Sweden, and particularly their experiences of disruptions to transnational care relationships. Using a dialogical lens, I consider how their sense of responsibility towards their transnational family impacts their lives when they are unable to provide sufficient responses to requests for care, and how this in turn impacts activities designed to promote settlement. I argue that it is essential for resettlement nations to consider how family separation and unfulfilled care responsibilities impact resettled refugees.

Sep 2nd 2024, 12:23

Abstract
Studies reveal that refugees develop a wide range of economic activity in displacement. In recent years, priorities of refugee self-reliance have had a resurgence among humanitarian organizations and policymakers. Within these programs, models of self-reliance have focused on employment and income for individual refugee households. Based on ethnographic observations, interviews, and longitudinal questionnaires in Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya, I demonstrate the need to broaden our models of self-reliance to incorporate the role economic shocks, or exogenous and unpredictable events that affect household resources. Rather than rare events, economic shocks were common across sectors and compounded by cuts to humanitarian support. Nor were shocks isolated events. Households faced multiple intersecting shocks, which rippled across communities as households were affected by shocks to others in their social networks. Across employment type and income, shocks destabilized the economic trajectories of refugee households and impeded progress toward self-reliance.

Sep 2nd 2024, 12:23

Abstract
The literature on administrative burden has focused on cognitive, material, and social resources, leaving emotional strategies and processes largely unexplored. This study begins to address this research gap by elaborating Illouz’ (2007) concept of emotional capital in the context of citizen agency. The article uses the concept emotional capital to analyze claimant anger in response to administrative burdens examining the question: how do citizens understand and maneuver the potential benefits and risks of expressing their anger when experiencing administrative burdens? The article is based on ethnographic fieldwork in Danish job centers involving interviews with 71 claimants and observations of 10 conversations between caseworkers and claimants. The article contributes to theorize the role of emotions in citizen-state encounters by showing that emotional capital works as a resource moderating the experience of and coping with administrative burden

Sep 2nd 2024, 12:23

Psychotherapy, Vol 61(3), Sep 2024, 173-183; doi:10.1037/pst0000526
There is a large body of research exploring therapeutic effectiveness for racially or ethnically minoritized college students. Prior literature highlights the unique mental health and academic challenges faced by Native American students in higher education; however, there is a paucity of research examining the effectiveness of counseling for Native American college students. The present study examined the effectiveness of counseling on psychological and academic distress among Native American college students, comparing their initial distress and rate of change to White students in counseling. Using naturalistic data from a large practice–research network spanning 2015–2019, we employed hierarchical linear modeling to evaluate the effect of race on psychological distress (N = 9,621) and academic distress (N = 9,643) scores during treatment. Results revealed that all clients demonstrated a significant decrease in both types of distress over the course of treatment. Native American and White clients presented to counseling with similar levels of psychological distress. However, Native American clients experienced more change and at a faster rate on psychological distress symptoms compared to White clients. On academic distress, Native American clients began and concluded counseling with higher levels of distress while experiencing a similar amount of change at a similar rate in their reduction of academic distress over the course of treatment. The study findings provide unique insight on the outcomes of treatment-seeking Native students by demonstrating a significant positive response to counseling, as well as novel comparisons between Native and White students receiving services within college counseling settings.

Sep 2nd 2024, 12:22

Abstract
Previous research on the glass cliff phenomenon has primarily explored the impact of performance decline on women in leadership based on single objectives, overlooking the complexity of managing performance in the public sector. This study adopts a multigoal perspective to explore how performance feedback in a dual-goal scenario affects gender composition in top management teams (TMTs) in Chinese local governments. Drawing on behavioral theory, it differentiates between unambiguous and ambiguous feedback as two distinct types of organizational performance feedback, to test their influence on women’s proportion in TMTs. A unique data set covering 276 Chinese municipal governments from 2010-2018 was used to investigate how performance on two conflicting objectives, economic growth and environmental protection pursued by Chinese local governments, affects women’s proportion in mayoral teams. Results from fractional logit regression suggest that unambiguous failure is positively associated with the proportion of women in TMTs. However, ambiguous performance feedback is negatively related to the proportion of women in TMTs. Implications for research on gender composition in the upper echelons and performance feedback on multiple objectives are discussed.
