Higher self-esteem at earlier time points was significantly associated with lower anxiety and depressive symptoms. The hypothesized mediation pathways were not statistically significant. Subgroup analyses revealed that the protective effect of self-esteem against anxiety was significant for racial and ethnic minority ASMM but not for their non-Hispanic White counterparts. These findings highlight the need for tailored interventions that address the unique experiences of ASMM from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds.","PeriodicalId":47959,"journal":{"name":"Youth & Society","volume":"57 6","pages":"1132-1157"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12383279/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144974268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted semi-structured interviews with 17 second-generation Chinese American youth (ages 12-18) and developed survey items for future quantitative PYD research. Using both inductive and deductive analysese, the study identified 118 items for a PYD measure, revealing six potential constructs, the Five Cs (Competence, Confidence, Character, Caring, and Connection), and a novel construct, Culture. The findings suggest that the positive development of Chinese American youth may differ from the conventional PYD model, emphasizing the importance of including Culture as a distinct construct. The research provides valuable insights into PYD among second-generation Chinese American youth, offering a theoretically and developmentally appropriate approach for assessing their positive development. The inclusion of Culture as a distinct construct expands the understanding of PYD within this population and underscores the need for nuanced considerations in future research and intervention efforts.","PeriodicalId":47959,"journal":{"name":"Youth & Society","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12410771/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145015232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Institutional racial discrimination - in particular, residential racial segregation - is a determinant of racial disparities in firearm violence. Residential racial segregation, which is enforced to limit racially minoritized members to undesirable residential areas (e.g., fewer educational and employment opportunities), is associated with the socioecological risk factors of youth firearm violence (e.g., exposure to violence [ETV], neighborhood disadvantage). The socioecological mechanisms underlying the link between, however, remains unclear. Therefore, we tested the mediating role of neighborhood disadvantage (mediator 1) and ETV (mediator 2) in the association between residential racial segregation and youth firearm violence. Participants consisted of 338 Black youth who used illicit drugs in the past year and sought care in an urban emergency department. Using serial mediation analysis, residential racial segregation was indirectly associated with youth firearm violence via neighborhood disadvantage and then exposure to violence. Identifying the downstream socioecological consequences of residential segregation can inform the development of firearm violence prevention programs that address the socioecological consequences of racism.","PeriodicalId":47959,"journal":{"name":"Youth & Society","volume":"56 8","pages":"1468-1490"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12333393/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144817933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We generated state-year rates of homicide and suicide, stratified by firearm involvement, for decedents aged 15-24. We stratified by race and ethnicity (white, Black, and Hispanic) to assess for differential policy effects. We used stacked difference-in-difference and augmented synthetic control modeling to estimate law repeal or adoption. Repeal of firearm purchaser licensing laws was associated with significantly higher rates of firearm homicide and suicide among those age 15-24. The adoption of these laws was associated with significantly lower rates of firearm homicide and suicide among this group.

In response, professional organizations have called for communication between adolescents, parents, and providers about firearms. A shared understanding of firearms between providers and families can facilitate effectiveness of health interventions. However, few studies engage adolescents in identifying their perception of common firearm terminology. The current study aimed to understand how adolescents in rural communities defined firearm-related terms including firearm, carrying, and handling, and differences in terms based on prior firearm training. Data were from a mixed methods community-based participatory study of 93 adolescents from rural Washington state. Thematic qualitative coding identified themes for firearm (gun, weapon, projectile, and tool), carrying (on you/your person, transportation, and holding), and handling (actively using, safe use, and holding) and differences between those with prior firearms training. Findings provide insight into perceptions of firearm-related terms for adolescents, an often-neglected voice, and inform rural policy and prevention efforts.","PeriodicalId":47959,"journal":{"name":"Youth & Society","volume":"56 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11485169/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142477714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We analyzed the trends in depression prevalence within an 8-year period using panel data derived from young adults in China. The investigation further delved into the multifaceted correlates of depression, including demographic profiles, health-related parameters, and consequential life events. Data were obtained from five cycles, 2010 to 2018, of the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS). Participants included adults aged 18 to 24 years (total analytic sample N = 15,442). Depression symptoms increased in prevalence in Chinese young adults over the eight years; therefore, depression screening should be regularly conducted in this demographic. This study highlights the issue’s gravity and suggests potential correlations with cultural, regional economic development level, gender, religion, hukou (household registration), lifestyle, chronic health conditions, on-going school attendance, and marital factors.","PeriodicalId":47959,"journal":{"name":"Youth & Society","volume":"57 39","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135863005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
