As such, the goal of this review is to conduct a rapid evidence assessment to identify (a) What theories currently exist that conceptualize trauma stemming from vicarious observation of extremist atrocities? (b) In what similar domains (if any) have researchers conceptualized the trauma that stems from vicarious observation of extremist atrocities?

FAs are the third largest Asian subgroup in the United States. Given the historical relationship between the Philippines and United States, FAs are often under-represented in research and are hard to reach due to factors such as cultural mistrust, linguistic mismatch, and unfamiliarity with research. This scoping review synthesized findings across 11 studies which met the criteria for inclusion. Studies were included if they demonstrated engagement methods with FA communities, applied participatory action research methods, cultural adaptations, and/or stakeholder consultation. Studies were excluded if engagement was not identified as a focus, did not involve stakeholders in recruitment, were simply published as extensions of earlier studies, conducted outside of the United States, or not in English. Studies reviewed represent a range of research designs, including randomized controlled trials, intervention adapted research, needs assessments, semi-structured interviews, qualitative studies, program evaluation research, and community-based participatory research. Findings identified a range of methods and strategies for engaging FA in research. Integration of cultural values, recruiting from cultural sites and use of bilingual staff and moderators were most often utilized. In addition, this review highlighted barriers to engagement and strategies to address them. Using culturally congruent engagement strategies will aid researchers in building trust and encourage participation.","PeriodicalId":54211,"journal":{"name":"Trauma Violence & Abuse","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142841978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This updated systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the association between parental ACE subtypes and various offspring health outcomes. A comprehensive search was conducted in electronic databases including PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, WANFANG, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure for studies published in English and Chinese from January 1, 1998, until July 18, 2023. Two independent reviewers screened studies, extracted data, and assessed study quality using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. A random-effects model was applied to generate pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI). A total of 47 eligible studies were included in the final analysis. Overall, parental ACEs were significantly associated with several offspring’s health outcomes, including preterm birth (PTB), low birth weight (LBW), total developmental delay, social-emotional problems, and behavioral problems (total, externalizing and internalizing behaviors), with ORs ranging from 1.06 to 3.02. Specific subtypes of parental ACEs, such as household dysfunction, sexual abuse, and physical abuse (but not emotional abuse) were significantly associated with PTB. Household dysfunction was notably linked to delayed cognition ability in offspring. Parental sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, and emotional neglect were significantly correlated with social-emotion problems, with the expception of household dysfunction. Regarding total behavioral problems, parental household dysfunction, physical abuse, emotional abuse, physical neglect, and peer bullying were all significantly associated with children’s behavioral issues, except for emotional neglect. There is a positive correlation between parental household dysfunction, sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, emotional neglect, physical neglect, peer bullying, and neighborhood-related adversity and their children’s externalizing behavior problems. These findings underscore the significant impacts of parental ACEs on multiple adverse health outcomes in children, with specific parental ACEs subtypes exerting unique effects. This highlight the significance of comprehending the intergenerational effects of different ACE subtypes, and emphasizes the urgency of interventions to address these issues.","PeriodicalId":54211,"journal":{"name":"Trauma Violence & Abuse","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142823159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To improve our understanding of how theoretical approaches to stress have been applied to IPV research, we conducted a sub-analysis of a broader systematic review to identify published literature that examines theoretical approaches to stress as a predictor of male-perpetrated IPV. We conducted a search of nine electronic databases and assessed title/abstract and full texts according to pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Two reviewers categorized included studies into different theoretical groupings and sub-groupings. Data were extracted according to a data extraction template developed for the review, establishing consistency in a pilot data extraction phase. The review identified 27 articles that addressed the following theories of stress: general stress theory, life course theory, occupational stress theory, vulnerability theory, and family stress theory. Each of these sub-theories focuses on different forms of stress, for example, life course theory specifically focuses on stressful early life experiences, including adverse childhood events, whereas occupational stress theory focuses on workplace-related stressors that may result in increased male-perpetrated IPV. Analysis of measurement of stress variables indicated that measurement of stress varies widely across studies and primarily relies on self-reports.

The link between childhood exposure to interparental violence and future IPV perpetration is largely explained by postulations from social and psychological theories, such as social learning theory. These theories provide claims regarding IPV transmission pathways and the mechanisms underpinning the transmission. However, evidence from extant theory-informed studies on the cycle of violence has generated several null and counter-predictive findings, which raises questions about the nature of the theory-informed research, as well as methodological questions. This systematic review sought to analyze how existing studies applied specific theories to research IPV transmission, and the mechanisms underpinning these transmissions. Following the PRISMA procedure for systematic reviews, we reviewed empirical articles from five databases (<i>Scopus</i>, <i>Web of Science</i>, <i>CINAHL</i>, <i>Informit</i>, and <i>PubMed</i>) published between 1990 and 2024. Results from the 30 included studies were synthesized under three theoretical categories, namely: social, psychological, and cultural theories. Under each theoretical category, we found inconsistent evidence, lack of empirical examination of theory-driven variables, and reductionist approaches, in terms of how claims from the theories are applied in research on IPV transmission. Research guided by a singular theoretical framework presented inconsistencies compared to those applying a multi-theory approach. As a result, we recommend an integrated theoretical model that considers the comprehensive and transactional process/factors that underpin IPV transmission.</p>","PeriodicalId":54211,"journal":{"name":"Trauma Violence & Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"15248380241301781"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142808602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
