This research used focus group methods to explore the experiences of 24 men who attended four different nonclinical community based mental health support services held in public spaces. The spaces described in the study were a public house, a football stadium, a sports center and village hall. Our findings demonstrate the importance of offering a range of male community spaces with welcoming environments where men can encounter positive masculine role models.

Understanding the mechanisms that promote best practice uptake and addressing barriers to implementation readiness is critical. Guided by the Socioecological Model (SEM) and implementation science frameworks, this study examined pathways from training participant roles to the use of five best practices for community violence prevention via community violence exposure (CVE) and organizational practices (OP). A parallel multiple mediation model using maximum likelihood estimation with bootstrapping was conducted on 1,295 participants (67.6% female; mean age = 37.1 years, SD = 11.8) across roles (community members, mental health clinicians [clinician], child-focused professionals [CFP], and justice professionals [JP]). Key findings revealed: (a) training participant roles were distinctively associated with use of best practices; (b) roles predicted differences in CVE and OP, with CVE positively associated with all practices; (c) both CVE and OP significantly mediated these relationships; (d) CVE consistently mediated the link between roles and all practices, while OP had mixed effects, reducing practice use for clinicians but enhancing it for CFP and JP. This study uniquely identifies pre-training best practices already in use, emphasizing the importance of addressing CVE and OP to enhance training outcomes. By demonstrating that pre-training differences vary by role, CVE, and OP, this study underscores the need for contextually tailored training and capacity-building efforts.

Despite these challenges, Latino/as demonstrate protective factors that may buffer the effects of a high stress burden and lead to more positive health outcomes. Resilience measurements can often lack cultural specificity, a critical component to understanding social mechanisms that may contribute to health in this population. This study aims to assess the psychometric properties of the <i>Inventario de Resiliencia</i> (IRES), a Spanish-language resilience instrument developed in Mexico. The study utilized data from a community-based-participatory research study in the border town of South Yuma, Arizona (<i>N</i> = 282). Resilience was measured at time points over one year, alongside assessments of self-rated health, social connectedness, psychological distress, and perceived ecological stress. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed at each time point to confirm the latent structure of resilience. To assess whether participants responded similarly to the IRES over time, a confirmatory factor analytic model was used to test for the invariance of factor covariance, mean, and residual variance structures across the time points. Cronbach's Alpha, Pearson product-moment and Kendall's Tau correlations were used to assess construct validity, and reliability. Findings demonstrated that IRES has excellent internal consistency, the structure of the original scale fit well with the data, and the IRES exhibited strong invariance across time. Test-retest reliability and construct validity were established by convergent and discriminant validity. This study establishes and supports the use of the IRES as a reliable and valid tool for measuring resilience in U.S. Latino/a populations. These findings underscore the importance of culturally tailored instruments in research and suggest that a more nuanced understanding of resilience can be leveraged to inform interventions and policies aimed at reducing health disparities in minority populations.</p>","PeriodicalId":46123,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Community","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145844136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
