We report on both OLS regression analyses of survey data ( n = 344) and thematic analysis of interview data ( n = 26) collected during participants’ final year of high school. Quantitative analyses revealed that youths’ belief that their academic achievement represents a form of resistance against racism (“achievement-as-resistance”) significantly predicted their commitment to activism, and this relationship was moderated by participants’ school type. Youth attending “no-excuses” schools demonstrated a stronger relationship between their achievement-as-resistance beliefs and commitment to activism than their peers attending “progressive” schools. Explanatory qualitative analyses of interview data demonstrated that youth at no-excuses schools received strong messaging from their educators that achievement was the best way for Black and Latinx youth to resist racism. Youth also reported that their no-excuses schools did not engage students in activism and in some cases, responded negatively to student-led activism. Findings suggest that Black and Latinx youths’ achievement-as-resistance beliefs may have supported their commitment to activism, but this relationship may have been strengthened by youths’ desire to push beyond their schools’ narrow messaging about resistance.","PeriodicalId":503297,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adolescent Research","volume":"29 23","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139530868","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}

Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 34 Mexican-origin parents (mean age = 39.45; 47% 1st generation immigrants, 26% 1.5 generation, and 26% 2nd generation). Inductive and deductive approaches were used in multiple iterative stages of coding to determine the final themes. A cross-case analysis was conducted to compare parents’ responses based on their enculturation to Mexican culture. Parents perceived that the benefits of adolescents’ participation in organized activities were protection, family bonding, transfer of skills, and reinforcement of family ethnic culture. The challenges parents reported were exposure to unsafe situations, constraints on family resources, and family conflict. Parents with a higher enculturation to Mexican culture, more frequently reported family bonding and reinforcement of family ethnic culture as a benefit and family conflict as a challenge of activities compared to parents with a lower enculturation. Findings from our study have implications to help organized activities be culturally responsive to the Mexican-origin families and adolescents they serve.","PeriodicalId":503297,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adolescent Research","volume":"76 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139130644","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}

Arts-based youth participatory action research (YPAR) was utilized. Essential elements were creation of art as data, group processing, and action planning. Fifteen 18 to 23 year old young people (4 male, 11 female) living in three states participated in The Network. The young people identified as Black ( n = 3), White ( n = 5), Latino/a/x ( n = 6), and Native Mexican ( n = 1). The Network was virtual via Zoom. Attendance was documented and post-intervention individual interviews were conducted. Qualitative thematic analysis of the post-intervention individual interviews assessed feasibility via participant satisfaction (strengths, areas for improvement). Two of The Network’s essential elements (art as data, group processing) were deemed feasible based on participant reported satisfaction and strengths. The action phase was truncated, and was discussed by participants as an area for improvement. Participating in art and group processing in The Network was more feasible than meeting with national stakeholders. More work needs to be done to understand how young people can be involved with decisions at the national and funding level.","PeriodicalId":503297,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adolescent Research","volume":"37 16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139131425","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}

Maternity group homes (MGHs) aim to mitigate risks and promote stability among pregnant and parenting teens. This study applied the stage-environment fit and emerging adulthood frameworks to explore MGH experiences and exit outcomes from the perspectives of residents and providers. Mothers were 18 to 25 years old. Most participants were non-Hispanic, Black (64%) with the remaining mothers identifying as Hispanic (20%) or non-Hispanic white (16%). Mothers averaged 5 years in foster care, and 75% experienced 5+ placements. Qualitative interview data were collected from mothers aging out of care with MGH experience ( N = 25) and MGH providers ( N = 16) throughout one state. Using thematic and narrative analytic techniques, emerging themes were mapped onto dominant narratives explaining circumstances entering, living in, and leaving MGHs. Mothers’ experiences were shaped by their situations leading to placement; perceptions of individualized care; and level of openness to change. These conditions shaped how they navigated the MGH environment, their exit outcomes, and subsequent residential stability. Dominant narratives indicate the importance of individualizing care and connecting house responsibilities with independence when developing relationships and delivering services.","PeriodicalId":503297,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adolescent Research","volume":"21 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139262488","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}
