Background/Context: The children of military service members experience numerous military-related stressors (e.g., deployment of a parent), resulting in negative psychological outcomes. About 90% of military-connected students are educated in civilian public schools.
An exploration of the schooling experiences of military-connected students and their strengths and challenges in civilian public schools was conducted.
In this investigation we examined the developmental correlates and predictors of maternal emotional availability in interactions with their 7-year-old children among a sample of families at psychosocial risk.
Maternal emotional availability (i.e., nonhostility, sensitivity, and nonintrusiveness) is important for children's functioning. Mothers and children were observed and tested in infancy and middle childhood to assess maternal interactive behaviors and child outcomes.
This study solicited the perspectives of community-based behavioral health practitioners and supervisors about their perceived clinical training needs and preferences using a mixed-methods approach.
Research supports the efficacy of evidence-based interventions, but they are often not widely adopted by community-based providers.
