Data were gathered through interviews, observations, and document analysis, using a qualitative case study approach. Thematic analysis identified key themes related to cultural alignment and partnership-building. Findings highlight the significance of aligning MBPs with community values and leveraging strong FSCPs for successful integration and long-term sustainability. This study highlights the critical importance of collaboration, cultural sensitivity, and community engagement in the successful implementation of MBPs. It provides practical insights for educators, leaders, and policymakers on how to customize mindfulness programs to meet the unique needs of diverse communities. By linking mindfulness practices with local cultural values and fostering strong partnerships, MBPs can contribute to lasting educational and social change. The research also highlights the need for leadership that prioritizes cultural relevance and community input, offering a model for driving educational innovation through FSCPs.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":15496,"journal":{"name":"Journal of community psychology","volume":"54 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149182215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Interview transcripts were thematically analyzed using a hybrid inductive-deductive approach. Findings were mapped onto COM-B domains. Capability barriers included low awareness, uncertainty about SSIs, and difficulty navigating digital tools. Opportunity facilitators involved embedding SSIs in trusted settings and receiving endorsements from credible sources, though views on peer recommendations were mixed. Motivation was shaped by alignment with parental values (e.g., safety, communication) and emotional responses such as fear or skepticism related to DMHIs and privacy.

Data were drawn from a cross-sectional, nonprobability online panel of 537 participants aged 18–29, comprising foreign-born first-generation African immigrants and U.S.-born second-generation participants with African-born parents. We assessed ACEs using an expanded cumulative index that included conventional household adversities and four community-level adversities. We used separate multivariable linear and logistic regression models to examine associations between ACEs and each mental health outcome. We also ran generation-stratified models and formal tests of ACEs × generation interactions. Higher ACE scores were associated with greater anxiety, depressive symptom severity, and higher odds of lifetime suicidal ideation and lifetime suicide attempt. Associations were statistically significant within both generational groups. Generation significantly moderated the associations between ACEs and suicidal ideation and suicide attempt, with stronger associations among first-generation participants. Generation did not significantly moderate the associations of ACEs with anxiety or depression. Second-generation participants had higher overall odds of suicidal ideation than first-generation participants. ACEs were consistently associated with adverse mental health outcomes among African-origin emerging adults in this U.S.-based online panel.

Despite the collaborative nature of this type of work, the experiences of the musicians who facilitate it remain largely undocumented. This study emerged from two innovative initiatives that brought together primary school children and musicians from two of London's major orchestras (London Philharmonic Orchestra and London Contemporary Orchestra) to work together to prepare and perform new music written by emerging composers. The aim was to investigate musicians' lived experiences of community engagement through these collaborations. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was adopted as the research framework. Fifteen musicians (six females, nine males), ranging from 26 to 57 years of age, took part in one-to-one semi-structured interviews after experiencing a month of community-based work with the children. Data analyses revealed the experience of community engagement to be accounted for through three supraordinate themes, encapsulating 12 subordinate themes: (1) identity development (personal and collective), (2) well-being (positive emotions, engagement, accomplishment, purpose and social contribution) and (3) skill development (personal, interpersonal, musical, teaching and creativity).

Little is still known how the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic affected health outcomes like substance use and how this varied across key demographics and community characteristics. This analysis aims to examine how individual and community contexts interact to predict the risk of substance use outcomes among young people (ages 24 and younger) with additional consideration of the COVID-19 pandemic. We employ generalized logistic mixed models to examine the main and interactive effects of individual and community context in predicting substance use-related emergency department (ED) visits. We assess effect modification of this association by key individual variables (age, race, sex, income—using insurance as proxy), community variables (community economic deprivation—derived from principal component analysis), and the COVID-19 pandemic. Results show low-income youth are associated with higher risks of substance use compared to their higher income peers (OR_Uninsured:1.82, CI:1.81–1.83). Community context moderated risk, particularly for children in low-income communities (OR_Alcohol:3.39, CI:1.94–5.93). Findings further demonstrate a higher risk of substance use ED visits during the pandemic among low-income youth (OR_{PublicInsurance}:1.09, CI:1.07–1.10) and youth in low-income communities (OR:1.03, CI:1.01–1.05), those 18 and younger (OR_Adolescents:1.25, CI:1.23–1.27), and Black (OR:1.32, CI:1.30–1.33), Indigenous (OR:1.17, CI:1.12–1.22), and Hispanic youth (OR:1.13, CI:1.11–1.15).
