In 2014, the 74th recorded genocide was committed against the Yazidis. In response to the genocide, the Government of Canada has assisted in relocating, and committed to supporting, the Yazidis. However, to date, little is known about the factors Yazidi youth find helpful in promoting their mental, physical, and social well-being, or their integration. This study uses concept mapping, a form of participatory action research, to explore factors that have promoted adjustment for Yazidi youth refugees in Canada. 12 Yazidi youth between the ages of 15 and 24 participated in interviews and a subsequent group sorting activity. Seven concepts to represent the responses were generated, including: experiences at school, connection with family and friends, accepting it takes time, sense of security, community agency support, feeling liberated, and feeling like I belong. These findings were compared and contrasted with existing literature. Using the youths’ perspective and needs as a guide, recommendations have been made for continued support, facilitated through policy revisions, that centre on fostering connections to Yazidi culture and community here in Canada and promoting family reunification.","PeriodicalId":51512,"journal":{"name":"Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144137064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An estimated 31 percent (~4.5 million) of dating youth report perpetrating ADV and 35 percent (~5.1 million) report ADV victimization. Childhood exposure to intimate partner violence (eIPV) and child maltreatment have both been linked with the experience of ADV, however, results vary greatly across studies, particularly regarding ADV perpetration. This study is additive by improving upon ADV measurement limitations from past studies, considering co-occurring child maltreatment and eIPV as a predictor of ADV, and drawing from theory in the selection of protective factors. Applying social learning theory and the intergenerational transmission of violence model, this study examines the mediating effect of dating violence acceptability on the links between childhood eIPV, child maltreatment, and ADV perpetration using structural equation modeling. Preliminary findings indicate significant relations between co-occurrence (child maltreatment & eIPV) and ADV, as well as eIPV alone and ADV. Mediation by youth acceptability of dating violence was not identified. The results of this study provide additional evidence of significant relations between childhood violence exposures and ADV perpetration, and higher prevalence rates of all violence types than previously found in the literature, emphasizing the need for prevention and intervention.","PeriodicalId":51512,"journal":{"name":"Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144137063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review addresses this significant gap by examining peer-reviewed studies published until 2023 and relevant grey literature. Following the PRISMA methodology, we identified six peer-reviewed articles and six grey literature reports that met inclusion criteria. Results show pre-college programs vary in duration, from one-day events to two-year events and are primarily held on college campuses with many employing former youth in foster care as mentors. Findings suggest these programs enhance college preparedness, attendance, and retention while increasing self-efficacy. Despite these positive short-term outcomes, long-term degree attainment remains challenging. To improve college access for youth in foster care, there is a need to conduct further methodologically rigorous research of pre-college programs across diverse higher education institutions.","PeriodicalId":51512,"journal":{"name":"Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144137062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Cape Town, South Africa, an evaluation of a parenting programme targeting school-going adolescent parents, considered the intervention effects on parenting and adolescent wellbeing, in three low-income communities. Adolescent parents resided with their adult caregivers. This paper draws on seventeen qualitative interviews with the caregivers of these adolescent parents. The qualitative interviews formed part of a wider parenting programme evaluation. This study explored the nature of the adolescent-caregiver relationship, and the potential effects of these relationships on adolescents’ wellbeing and parenting competencies. The findings suggest that while caregivers played co-parenting roles, they were often not emotionally supportive, placed multiple demands on the adolescents, and portrayed authoritarian approaches. The adolescent-caregiver relationships were often complex, hierarchical, and reflected negative parenting. Caregiver behaviours possibly left adolescents feeling unsupported, restricted in their parental autonomy, and undermined. Caregivers reported adolescents’ use of harsh discipline measures with their children. The findings highlight the indelible imprint that older generations, particularly those upholding traditional values, have on adolescent parents and their parenting. The authors conclude that caregiving environments that lack supportive interactions may lead to an elevated risk of compromised mental health and lowered parental competency for adolescent parents. Caregiver-adolescent relationship quality should be considered in interventions targeting adolescent parents. Interventions should be inclusive of adolescents’ caregivers, emphasising that support relationships should nurture both the adolescent and their young children.","PeriodicalId":51512,"journal":{"name":"Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143875827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, open youth work serves as a vital socio-educational field of practice. Through life-world-oriented and subject-centered educational approaches, open youth work supports young people in developing their identity, navigating adolescent crises, and assuming social responsibility. This article explores the transformative potential of open youth work as a socio-pedagogical educational actor. It draws on the theory of transformative education and is based on a qualitative empirical study that includes participatory observations and focus group discussions with young people in seven youth centers. The study aimed to identify the topics, triggers, and conditions that enable young people in these settings to experience formative and transformative educational processes. The findings of the study emphasize the significance of open youth work’s low-threshold, situational, and flexible educational approaches. These approaches empower young people to overcome developmental challenges, build resilience, and make autonomous decisions—key processes that are often overlooked in formal educational institutions. Particularly notable is the participatory nature of open youth work, which provides young people with safe and supportive spaces to articulate their concerns, reflect on their experiences, and explore their perspectives. In this way, open youth work not only fosters the personal development, well-being, and autonomy of young people but also plays a crucial role in cultivating a resilient and solidaristic society.","PeriodicalId":51512,"journal":{"name":"Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal","volume":"108 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143782467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two structural equation models were established with the variables. The study was conducted with high school students, and a total of 1971 high school students from 12 provinces of Turkey participated. Excessive use of technology was found to be positively correlated with age and impulsive and avoidant problem solving, and negatively correlated with family belonging, school belonging, self-control, and perceived support from the family. Social media disorder was found to be positively correlated with impulsive and avoidant problem solving and negatively correlated with family belonging, school belonging, self-control, and perceived social support from family and friends.This study suggest that self-control plays a critical role in use of technology and social media.

In parallel, cyberbullying has emerged as another significant challenge, affecting the well-being and health of students as they spend more time online. We investigated the correlation between cyberbullying victimization and substance use in adolescents—and considered the potential mediating effect of mental health problems and the moderating effect of telemedicine services. We used data from the Adolescent Behaviors and Experiences Survey (n = 6,237), a nationally representative study administered by the CDC of the United States. Binary logistic regression and Ordinary Least Squares regression models were employed to examine the associations, and moderated mediation models were performed. The results showed that cyberbullying victimization significantly and directly correlated with increased substance use in adolescents. Mental health problems were found to partially mediate the link between cyber victimization and substance use. Furthermore, telemedicine services exhibited a protective effect on these associations. Specifically, cyber victimization significantly and positively predicted augmented mental health problems and substance use for students who did not use telemedicine services, whereas these associations became non-significant for those who used telemedicine services. This study contributes valuable insights into the impact of disasters, cyberbullying, and adolescent substance use, and it also underscores the importance of adopting a comprehensive prevention approach that addresses both cyberbullying and addictions simultaneously.","PeriodicalId":51512,"journal":{"name":"Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143782470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As part of an ongoing longitudinal study, we administered the Sexual Experiences Questionnaire to 1,124 older adolescents (17 and 18) and conducted multilevel logistic regression analyses to examine the link between demographic, environmental, and health factors and sexual harassment. 20% of older adolescents reported being sexually harassed in the past year. Girls were twice as likely and bisexual/pansexual participants were three times as likely to experience harassment, relative to males and heterosexual participants, respectively. Sexual harassment was associated with multiple health problems (PTSD, anxiety, and depression) and frequency of alcohol use. It was inversely related to positive school peer climate. Findings underscore the health consequences of sexual harassment, especially for female and gender and sexual minority adolescents, who are at higher risk. Interventions focused on improving mental wellbeing should include sexual harassment prevention and vice versa. Given our finding that positive school climate is associated with less sexual harassment, school-based interventions should be employed to promote a harassment-free environment.","PeriodicalId":51512,"journal":{"name":"Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal","volume":"88 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143745359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined the perspectives of independent living workers (n = 58) on technology use by youth in substitute care, and the ways in which workers facilitate technology access and use among youth on their caseload. Participants completed an online survey focused on four areas including (1) workers’ role in how youth access and use devices, (2) reports of youth on their caseload experiencing harm online, (3) perceptions of social media use among youth in care, and (4) workers’ exposure to and desire for training and support related to assisting the youth on their caseload with their use of social media. Results indicate that independent living workers are well positioned to play an important role in supporting both agencies and youth in technology use. These results emphasize the importance of support mechanisms and training initiatives tailored to address the evolving landscape of technology use among youth in care, especially as they prepare for the transition to adulthood. By understanding and leveraging the perspectives of independent living workers, agencies can better equip youth with the necessary skills and safeguards to navigate the digital world effectively as they transition into adulthood.","PeriodicalId":51512,"journal":{"name":"Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal","volume":"39 5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143745360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
