Subsequently, community violence prevention frameworks emphasize the need for place-based intervention and research. However, how to use and integrate methods that generate place-based knowledge and the potential benefits of using and integrating these place-based methods, is lacking. We describe a place-based methodology that integrates data gathered from multiple qualitative and quantitative methods, including app-based geospatial data, walking interviews, participant photographs, and publicly available data. Using Ecological Systems Theory to guide analysis, we contrasted the type of information gathered through these various methods and explored to what extent results aligned or diverged. Walking interviews more frequently generated data related to participants' neighborhoods, such as neighborhood conditions that promote safety as well as differences in neighborhoods' level of access to these safety-promoting conditions. Each method provided unique data that complemented—and illustrated the complexity of—results derived from the other methods. For example, the presence of mediating organizations like neighborhood associations, as described by participants, was reflected in the high level of registered neighborhood organizations in the study area compared to the city at large. However, for other themes—such as regarding access to public green spaces—publicly available quantitative data were misaligned with participants' experiences and did not capture components such as access and quality. Using an integrated, place-based methodology generated insights across ecological system levels related to community violence, which can be used to inform multiple levels of intervention and action.","PeriodicalId":7576,"journal":{"name":"American journal of community psychology","volume":"77 3-4","pages":"437-454"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147269255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although considerable efforts have been made to understand how various factors are related to mental health service use in this population, research integrating these multiple factors in a single study, with a specific focus on ethnic disaggregation, remains limited. Using a cross-sectional Study of Filipino and Korean American young adults (Mage = 21.37, US-born = 65.03%), we examined the combined impact of individual, familial, and ethnic-cultural, immigrant, and racial stereotype factors on their mental health service utilization through hierarchical logistic regressions. Depressive symptoms, being female, and less stigma associated with mental health care were significantly associated with more service use regardless of ethnicity. Notably, primarily speaking English or both English and ethnic language equally at home (as opposed to an ethnic language) was significantly associated with more service use among US-born Filipino Americans. Conversely, the internalized model minority stereotype was significantly associated with less service use among Korean Americans. This study underscores the importance of developing effective mental health interventions tailored to both shared and unique determinants within diverse Asian American populations.","PeriodicalId":7576,"journal":{"name":"American journal of community psychology","volume":"77 3-4","pages":"469-484"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ajcp.70043","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145832597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Behavioral health and social services professionals and community stakeholders were identified from eight Great Plains communities and invited to attend eight focus groups (N = 47). Conversations were audio-recorded, transcribed, and coded by the research team. The qualitative data analysis identified four themes: (1) Challenges with Treatment and Recovery, (2) Impact of Substance Use, (3) Reasons for Substance Use, (4) Solutions and Research Priorities. The findings highlight barriers to substance use disorder (SUD) treatment ranging from policy issues to lack of funding. The most significant finding centered on integrating cultural strengths into treatment and recovery programs, including Ceremony Assisted Treatment (CAT). Data reports for each participating organization were provided to disseminate outcomes in their respective communities.

However, little is known about how multiple neighborhood social processes co-occur, or about within (vs. between) neighborhood variation in social processes and health. This study asked how residents of a large public housing development describe their neighborhood and used latent profile analysis to develop profiles of residents according to their social environment perceptions (N = 527, Mage = 44, 15% Asian, 19% Black, 38% Latino, 19% White, 8% other). We included cross–race interactions as an understudied aspect of the social environment, along with social cohesion, place attachment, sense of safety, and neighborhood problems. Five profiles were identified. The largest (35% of participants) was generally content with their neighborhood. Another 18% had strongly positive perceptions, 18% were well connected but concerned about neighborhood problems, 15% were socially disengaged, and 15% were strongly dissatisfied. Profile membership was systematically related to individual and contextual factors. Anxiety and depression were highest in the strongly dissatisfied profile and the two profiles containing a mix of positive and negative perceptions (connected but concerned and socially disengaged). Findings show how differences within (not just between) neighborhoods relate to health and have implications for social programs targeting the unique needs and strengths of public housing residents.","PeriodicalId":7576,"journal":{"name":"American journal of community psychology","volume":"77 3-4","pages":"413-426"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ajcp.70036","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145627577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, more research is needed to understand the nuances of how religious actors utilize their faith in the pursuit of social justice. This study draws on the community psychology of religion and social movement studies to examine how Episcopalians employ religion/spirituality in their racial justice organizing. Based on 3 years of ethnographic fieldwork with an Episcopal Beloved Community Commission, findings reveal that members leveraged four specific religious resources—theology, sacrament, liturgy, and communal events—to frame racism as a spiritual, not solely social or political, problem. These strategies functioned as sanctification processes, ultimately recasting antiracism as a sacred endeavor. Unlike prior research that depicts sanctification as an individual process, the Commission practiced it collectively, leveraging Episcopal theology (e.g., naming racism as sin) to create new pathways for racial justice engagement among their faith community. Interventions in religious contexts can be strengthened by integrating theological teachings, sacramental practices, liturgical framing, and community gatherings into racial justice efforts.","PeriodicalId":7576,"journal":{"name":"American journal of community psychology","volume":"77 3-4","pages":"397-412"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145761539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The University of California, Los Angeles Loneliness Scale and the Self-Report Questionnaire were employed as assessment tools. The intervention was structured around core components of peer support. The findings revealed a substantial reduction in both loneliness and affective symptoms, with moderate effect sizes (Cohen's d = 0.35, Z = 8.330 for loneliness; Cohen's d = 0.42, Z = 8.634 for affective symptoms). These results underscore the efficacy of peer support groups in community settings for mitigating loneliness and enhancing mental well-being.

Our photos addressed the prompt, “What inequities do we experience and witness in well-being related to COVID-19?” The initial analysis of weekly discussions of the photos identified 24 themes regarding COVID-19 impacts, which we later synthesized into four more general themes: (1) systemic social injustices, (2) abuses of power, (3) inequitable access, and (4) differential experiences among workers. As participant–researchers practicing auto-photovoice, we created a sense of community and an empowering pedagogy in our first remote online class during the initial weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This umbrella review aimed to develop a unifying term to define and describe community-level AOD approaches and summarize lessons learned from implementation. We searched Embase/MEDLINE, PsycINFO, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, two online registries and reference lists of included studies. Eligible reviews focused on community-level approaches addressing AOD use or harms. Two authors independently screened articles and completed full-text review and data extraction. We identified 87 reviews, spanning three decades. We propose the term Comprehensive Community Initiatives (CCI) to define community-level AOD approaches. CCIs involve multiple coordinated initiatives implemented across a community and are categorised into four types and eleven subtypes. School-based activities, the most common initiative subtype, were reported by reviews to be most effective when interactive and peer-focused, while fear-based approaches reportedly lack impact. Meaningful community engagement was central across recommendations to improve effectiveness. We summarize lessons learned for each initiative subtype, including recommendations, barriers, facilitators, and moderators of impact to guide future implementation.","PeriodicalId":7576,"journal":{"name":"American journal of community psychology","volume":"77 3-4","pages":"341-371"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ajcp.70071","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147759798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
