However, low-income families from historically marginalized racial and ethnic backgrounds disproportionately experience barriers to accessing, engaging, and completing treatment. This study examined the recruitment and referral network of a parenting program providing Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) in a large urban academic medical center and affiliated community-embedded clinics, as well as the impact of recruitment/referral sources on screening paperwork completion, intake attendance, and treatment completion. Data from 2510 families referred between 2018 and 2022 were analyzed, considering demographic factors and recruitment adaptations during COVID-19. Referral sources included but were not limited to community agencies, social media, and healthcare providers. Logistic regression analyses determined the likelihood of completing the screening paperwork, attending intake, and completing treatment based on recruitment/referral sources. Every recruitment/referral source increased the likelihood of screening paperwork completion (except community outreach). Every source increased the likelihood of attending intake (except previously enrolled families). Treatment completion was significantly more likely for those referred from pediatricians, friends, behavioral health, and Google. After COVID-19 (post March 2020), families were more likely to complete the screening paperwork, attend intake, and complete treatment compared to families screened before COVID-19. Effective recruitment and retention strategies are crucial for engaging families in mental health services. Findings emphasize the role of community and healthcare providers, word-of-mouth, and Google and the benefits of telehealth (indicated by post-COVID-19 results), in improving treatment access and retention, highlighting the need for flexible service delivery methods.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":15496,"journal":{"name":"Journal of community psychology","volume":"53 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jcop.70019","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144206746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a social safety framework, we examine interactions between discrimination and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on health outcomes and how these interactions may differ by race and ethnicity or SGD status among young adults. An online survey with 2287 young adults (mean age = 25.8 years; 55.5% female) assessed ACEs and interpersonal discrimination and sleep quality, problematic alcohol or cannabis use, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. Linear regression analyses tested interactions between ACEs and discrimination in relation to the outcomes among the overall sample and stratified by race and ethnicity or SGD status. In the overall sample, there was one significant interaction between ACEs and discrimination, such that those experiencing both greater exposure to ACEs and greater discrimination reported higher PTSD scores. Race-stratified models showed that among people of color experiencing high levels of ACEs, greater discrimination was associated with greater PTSD scores. SGD-stratified models showed that for problematic alcohol use and PTSD there was a significant interaction between ACEs and discrimination only among non-SGD participants. Consistent with social safety theory, findings highlight the potential health consequences of experiencing both discrimination and childhood adverse experiences.
