The current study applied the Access to Care framework to examine minoritized youths’ access to human trafficking services based on the perceptions and experiences of law enforcement and service providers working in this area. The study was guided by the following two research questions: (1) Based on the Access to Care framework, what does access to human trafficking services look like for youth with minoritized identities? (2) How appropriate is the Access to Care framework for understanding access to human trafficking services among youth with minoritized identities? Eighty law enforcement and service providers from 11 different communities across the United States participated in in-depth, individual interviews on law enforcement responses to child sex trafficking, including the differential experiences of youth with minoritized identities. Findings centered on four Access to Care dimensions (i.e., availability, accessibility, accommodation, and acceptability) and the importance of acknowledging how larger societal factors impact access. Critical implications highlight the need for policies that reduce vulnerability and increase access for youth with minoritized identities, internal agency assessments to identify biases and consider practices to increase access (e.g., representation, trainings, culturally responsive services), and more research centering the voices of youth with diverse identities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"172 ","pages":"Article 108263"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143776830","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}

Based on interviews with 17 NCWPs, we examined how the dual imperatives of protecting children in crisis while respecting their rights to participate in decision-making processes are navigated in practice. Our findings underscore that the challenges faced by professionals in balancing these competing principles are deeply embedded in a binary approach to participation as granting or denying the child’s wishes. The study advocates for the adoption of a deliberative approach as a means to assist professionals in making decisions that are both normatively sound and legitimate, ensuring children's voices are heard without compromising their safety. We argue that such an approach is crucial for ensuring a comprehensive assessment of the child’s best interests, effectively reconciling children’s rights to protection and participation in emergency contexts. In order to achieve this, a team-based approach to assessments and decision-making is considered essential. The analysis is grounded in deliberative theory, which is introduced as a key framework for understanding and enhancing the legitimacy of emergency CW decisions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"172 ","pages":"Article 108259"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143834031","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, parental mental health literacy remains low and culturally-sensitive parenting resources are scarce in Malaysia. The Partners in Parenting (PiP) program provides a framework of evidence-based parenting domains (henceforth ‘PiP framework’) that are universally adaptive for adolescent mental health – presenting as a good candidate for implementation in other cultures. Guided by the Double Diamond framework, this study aimed to identify cultural considerations for localising PiP to the Malaysian context. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 38 primary caregivers (<em>M</em>age = 47.1 years), who reflected on their parenting of their children during adolescence (aged 12–17 years). A thematic analysis using a deductive approach was conducted, using the PiP framework as a reference to identify cultural considerations in relation to five selected PiP parenting domains. Four overarching themes describing these cultural considerations were identified – Religion, Extended family, Gender roles, and Intergenerational influences – which were each relevant to one or more PiP parenting domains. These considerations, which reflect the complex interplay between parenting practices and the broader sociocultural environment in Malaysia, were further organised and interpreted within the context of the five interconnected cultural systems of the Bronfenbrenner socioecological model. Our approach facilitated a strategic, targeted localisation process, by identifying cultural considerations to be integrated into evidence-based intervention content. The context-specific implications for the localisation of PiP for Malaysia are discussed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"172 ","pages":"Article 108260"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143783960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PSS theory posits an individualized process of developing goal-directed psychological strength by turning the perceived barriers into hope, by which a bottom-up system transformation will be achieved—in the case of this study both the demand and supply sides of the workforce system. Using a sample of 500 South Korean youth and young adults living in poverty, a structural equation modeling analysis revealed that perceived employment barriers affect ESS, fully mediated by employment hope. In other words, factors that were believed to be barriers to employment, if met with a force of hope within them, could lead them to achieve external employment outcomes. When individual factors of perceived employment barriers were entered into the model independently, the soft skills barrier was the only significant path to employment hope. These results suggest the importance of overcoming the soft skills barriers to employment and developing employment-related hope as they relate to the ESS outcome. This study extends the useful application of the PSS theory—a process-oriented practice embracing psychological empowerment—for use within the context of the South Korean youth workforce development program.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"172 ","pages":"Article 108257"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143823686","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}

Qualitative themes included participants welcoming the idea of ECHV and the opportunity for both parents to obtain parenting education, apprehension about the purpose and implications of ECHV services, the impact of the qualities and approach of the home visitor, and the importance of fathers co-developing and meeting shared goals and seeing improvement in child wellbeing.
