Researchers have begun to explore resilience frameworks like the National Scientific Center for the Developing Child (NSCDC), Health Outcomes from Positive Experiences (HOPE), and cumulative positive childhood experiences (PCEs) frameworks that identify protective factors to build resilience to overcome ACEs. However, each of these frameworks has a limited evidence base with few studies examining the relationship between the entire framework and childhood outcomes among children who experienced ACEs. This study examined whether the NSCDC or HOPE framework had a stronger relationship with childhood mental health issues when including and excluding ACEs; the study also examined whether a cumulative PCE score improved the association between each framework and childhood mental health issues. Secondary data analysis was conducted using a sample of 65,017 children between 6 and 17 years old from the 2018–2020 National Survey for Children’s Health. Based on model comparisons using hierarchical logistic regression before and after controlling for ACEs, the NSCDC and HOPE frameworks were associated with childhood mental health. However, the NSCDC framework had a stronger relationship. The NSCDC cumulative PCE score slightly improved the models while the HOPE cumulative PCE score did not significantly strengthen the models. Significant protective factors were identified from both frameworks. The results demonstrated the potential for the NSCDC framework to build resilience to overcome ACEs. Future ACEs interventions should potentially seek to integrate the NSCDC framework to potentially mitigate the impact of ACEs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"172 ","pages":"Article 108237"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143680295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, some families could successfully withstand the adversity. To understand how these families adapted to this challenge and whether the profile of family resilience changed, this study investigated the transitions in patterns of family resilience before and during COVID-19, and examined potential predictors for the profile and transition of resilience, such as gender, grade level and social support. A total of 304 children in fourth and fifth grade completed the questionnaire at three time points (T1: June 2019; T2: February 2020, T3: March 2020). Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) and Latent Transition Analysis (LTA) were used to identify meaningful subgroups and transitions between groups across time. Results revealed (1) LPA identified three resilience profiles at all three times, characterized by high levels of family resilience (HFR), average levels of family resilience (AFR), and low levels of family resilience (LFR). (2) LTA showed that children in HFR group were most likely to remain in the same group. The largest probability of transition was from LFR group to AFR group. (3) Higher graders were more likely to be part of LFR group. Social support had significant effects on both subgroup classification and transition probability. Gender didn’t present a significant predictive role at any time. Given that this study demonstrated the heterogeneity in family resilience patterns and the instability of LFR group, it is suggested to identify and implement specific interventions to help families with low levels of resilience to adapt better.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"172 ","pages":"Article 108233"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143680362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This policy, with its wide income-eligibility, can be used to better understand how families use cash benefits, as well as how those uses and related decision-making processes vary by financial context. This explanatory sequential mixed methods study uses survey and interview data to examine how caregivers of varying income levels living in Maryland used the funds and the factors shaping those decisions. We surveyed 306 caregivers between November 2022 and February 2023 about their receipt and use of the child tax credit. We then used stratified purposeful sampling to recruit 22 caregivers from three income groups (&lt;185 %, 185 %-300 %, and 300 %+ of the federal poverty line) for interviews between March and June 2023. We used descriptive statistics, chi-squared tests, and thematic content analysis to identify how caregivers used the funds, explore variation by income, and described factors shaping ECTC use. Caregivers often reported using the funds for necessities like food and utilities; however, many caregivers—particularly those with higher incomes— also used the funds for debt payments and savings and investments. Financial context (e.g., job and income loss) played a paramount role in both constraining and explaining how caregivers used the funds; however, other factors like family structure, benefit timing, payment structure, and the ECTC’s framing as a child benefit were also described as factors that shaped caregivers’ decisions. The household and policy level factors identified in this study reveal important insights into how the structure and implementation of policies like the ECTC might shape how they are used, as well as how the ECTC’s wide income-eligibility might have impacted health equity across financial contexts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"172 ","pages":"Article 108231"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143680812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With dramatic increases in the rates of incarceration within the U.S. criminal legal system over the last 50 years, it is not surprising that the two systems would eventually intersect. For parents who are incarcerated, many run the risk of having their parental rights terminated based on guidelines outlined in ASFA. More than 10 million children have lived with a parent who has been under some form of criminal supervision. Parental incarceration is disruptive to family relationships and can result in the child being placed in foster care. This paper conducted record review for state-level polices enacted to protect and encourage the rights of incarcerated parents. The results indicated that the majority of legislative actions at the state level were designed without consideration for working across both the child welfare and criminal legal systems. To effectively address this issue means increasing cross-systems coordination and collaboration, as well as including parents who have lived experience to ensure that any legislative action considers the needs of those most impacted.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"172 ","pages":"Article 108234"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143642186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
