▼ Urban youth are particularly likely to experience depression; social and psychological risk factors alone fail to explain the disproportionately urban distribution of the disorder. Despite a growing body of evidence showing an independent impact of the neighborhood built environment on family processes, neighbor relations, and individual internalizing disorders, few researchers have attempted to isolate the effects of the built environment or the physical aspects of communities. This study examined the relationship between neighborhood built environment factors and adolescent depressive symptoms with three interconnected analyses. A systematic review of empirical studies of adolescents, which included a depressive symptoms dependent variable and at least one built environment independent variable found previous research to be consistent with an emerging conceptual model of depression in urban adolescents. Within the model, the neighborhood built environment is hypothesized to have direct and indirect influences on adolescent depressive symptoms and depressive symptom correlates, including individual mental processes, family social factors, and neighborhood social factors. Data from the Obesity and Neighborhood Environment (ONE) study, a substudy of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health), were analyzed using factor analysis to generate an eight-item, two-factor built environment tool measuring resource availability and landscape diversity within the urban context. In the final set of analyses, the two factors were found to assess different aspects of the physical makeup of community, were used in a multilevel logistic regression to predict adolescent depressive symptoms along with additional covariates measuring individual mental processes, family relationships, and neighborhood social factors covariates. Accessibility to neighborhood resources was found to have a minimal association with depressive symptoms; however, the significant association between adolescent neighborhood perceptions and depressive symptoms (OR = .37, p < .001) can provide insight on built environment measurement in future adolescent mental health studies by broadening the conceptualization of built environment to include both subjective and objective components. The findings also have implications for urban development policy; the role of social workers as client advocates for specific interventions is highlighted.

▼ Improvements in post-release outcomes of former prisoners (FPs) are linked to behavior and attitudes influenced by social relationships and social support. However, social and behavioral scientists continue to underutilize naturally occurring social support in interventions for FPs with substance use disorders. The exponentially rising incarceration rates in the United States disproportionately impact vulnerable and disadvantaged groups in our society. A range of efforts are needed to address specific sociostructural problems contributing to these trends, but in the interim people release from prison everyday and these individuals can benefit from social work informed interventions. The following three papers draw much needed attention to a neglected and low cost resource - naturally occurring social support - that could substantially improve the outcomes of FPs. The first paper challenges the assumption that FPs have little positive support. Next, the paper describes an intervention, Support Matters, that incorporates naturally occurring social support, that was developed and tested in North Carolina using a randomized controlled trial design. Support Matters is grounded in three theoretical frameworks and is manualized to promote fidelity to the intervention. The second paper describes the feasibility and acceptability evaluation results of Support Matters. This evaluation was conducted within the randomized controlled trial of Support Matters that assesses the effectiveness of the intervention in reducing substance misuse and re-arrest. In light of the difficulties that are frequently encountered when transferring evidence to practice, these evaluations are of critical importance during the formative stages of empirically supported interventions. This paper describes the feasibility and acceptability outcomes from the views of former prisoner participants, support partners, and group facilitators. The third paper presents preliminary findings from the randomized controlled trial used to compare the effects of Support Matters to routine post-release services offered to a sample of 40 male prisoners with substance use disorders releasing to a large urban county. Findings indicate that Support Matters participants experience increases in subtypes of social support from family and report more opportunities for reciprocity of support compared to their routine services counterparts. Arrest outcome trends approached statistically significant differences in reduced arrest rates for Support Matters participants. Advisors/Committee Members: Davis, Carrie Pettus, Howard, Matthew O..

▼ Engaging in evidence-based practice (EBP) is one of the key ways nonprofit human service organizations (NPHSOs) can improve programs to better respond to community needs. However, to identify, adapt, implement, and sustain EBPs requires capacity, which many smaller NPHSOs lack in areas like evaluation. Capacity-building may help NPHSOs further engage in EBP, yet more knowledge is needed concerning valid ways to measure NPHSO capacity and the impacts of capacity-building related to EBP. The aims of this study are to 1) develop a model with testable hypotheses concerning the effect of organizational factors on EBP engagement in NPHSOs; 2) identify a valid way to measure NPHSO capacity; and 3) assess NPHSO capacity-building outcomes related to EBP engagement. In Chapter 1, a brief overview of the key challenges confronting NPHSOs is provided. EBP is reviewed as a promising strategy for confronting these challenges and discussed in relation to NPHSO characteristics. In Chapter 2, a conceptual model explaining EBP engagement as the use of best available evidence to inform programming decisions in NPHSOs is presented. Research evidence concerning capacity and readiness factors which promote EBP engagement is reviewed. The perceived advantage of EBP engagement and alignment of evidence with NPHSOs' mission and capacity are presented as factors mediating the relationship between readiness and EBP engagement. In Chapter 3, confirmatory factor analysis is used to test the fit of three different models for measuring NPHSO capacity. A model with four sub-scales related to resource development, program development, management, and governance capacity fit the data well, while two models with a larger number of items assessing organizational performance did not. In Chapter 4, the effects of capacity-building on evaluation in NPHSOs are assessed using subset efficacy analysis. NPHSOs that received evaluation-related capacity-building assistance experienced statistically significant gains in four of five evaluation capacities compared to a control group after controlling for organizational characteristics, motivation to receive assistance, and amount of financial assistance. Lastly, in Chapter 5, key findings are synthesized, limitations are delineated, and practice, policy, and research implications are described.

▼ An emerging literature suggests that video game addiction is increasingly prevalent among emerging adults; however, no evidence-based treatments for video game addiction have been identified. Mindfulness treatment shows positive effects for substance use and gambling disorders, and may be a promising intervention for video game addiction. However, mindfulness treatment has not, heretofore, been adapted and evaluated for video game addiction. To fill this gap, my three-paper dissertation involved adapting and pilot testing Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE) treatment for emerging adults with video game addiction using a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design. The first paper includes a systematic review of 49 peer-reviewed journal articles evaluating mindfulness treatment for substance misuse. Meta-analytic results revealed significant small-to-large effects of mindfulness treatment in reducing levels of substance misuse, intensity of craving for psychoactive substances, and stress levels. Further, mindfulness treatments were effective in increasing abstinence from cigarette smoking and enhancing levels of mindfulness at posttreatment compared to alternative treatments. The second and third papers describe the development and evaluation of the adapted MORE treatment for video game addiction. The second paper presents a theoretical justification for mindfulness treatment of video game addiction and a study protocol for the RCT evaluating the adapted MORE treatment in emerging adults. The third paper reports the results of the RCT evaluating effects of MORE for emerging adults with video game addiction. Thirty adults (Mage = 25.0, SD = 5.4) with video game addiction were randomized to 8 weeks of group-based MORE or 8 weeks of a support group [SG]. Outcomes included signs and symptoms of video game addiction, craving for video game playing, video gaming-related maladaptive cognitions, perceived stress, coping, and mindfulness, and were measured at pre-and posttreatment using standardized self-report instruments. Analysis of covariance revealed that participation in MORE was associated with significantly greater reductions in signs and symptoms of video game addiction, intensity of craving for video game playing, and negative feelings related to video game playing, and a significantly greater increase in positive coping at posttreatment compared to the SG. Findings suggest that MORE is a promising intervention for emerging adults with video game addiction.

▼ Approximately two-thirds of United States military Veterans who served in Iraq or Afghanistan report sleep problems. Left untreated, sleep problems may contribute to incident mental health disorders. This three-paper dissertation aimed to fill three gaps in existing literature and clinical practice through the following contributions: the introduction of a prospective, long-term model of insomnia; examination of the relationship between poor sleep, resilience, and psychological distress; and the evaluation of single-item screeners to identify sleep disturbance. Through the presentation of an integrated theoretical model, Paper One addressed gaps in existing theory by examining short and long-term consequences of insomnia-like symptoms and advocating for a reconceptualization of sleep problems as chronic and cyclical rather than an acute, unidirectional problem. Papers Two and Three utilized a large research registry of Veterans with at least one overseas deployment to Iraq or Afghanistan and who were free of a past-month DSM-defined mental health disorder at the time of the interview (N=1,118). Paper Two utilized hierarchical linear regression and moderation analyses to explore the relationship between poor sleep, resilience factors and psychological distress. Controlling for demographic, health, and military characteristics, poor sleep explained an additional 16% of the variance in psychological distress. The relationship between poor sleep and psychological distress was moderated by two psychological resilience factors – adaptability and self-efficacy. Paper Three examined the utility of single-item sleep measures commonly embedded in existing psychological assessments. Three commonly used items, trouble falling asleep, awakening in the early morning, and sleep that is restless and disturbed, demonstrated moderate sensitivity and specificity in predicting poor sleep. Initial findings suggest that Veterans who report sleep problems as a little distressing (response score ≥ 1) may benefit from additional sleep assessment. Together, these three dissertation papers highlighted the importance of screening and treating sleep problems in U.S. military Veterans early in their course as a potential means for reducing risk for incident mental health disorders and other negative consequences. In addition, these three papers built a foundation for future longitudinal studies which may help elucidate the mechanisms through which sleep problems become chronic and/or contribute to mental health disorders.

▼ This dissertation addresses three topics related to juvenile psychopathy in order to improve social and mental health services for youth with this challenging disorder. Chapter 2 provides an overview for practitioners who encounter youth with psychopathy in various service settings. Chapters 3 and 4 are empirical studies that use data collected from 723 youth in the Missouri Division of Youth Services treatment system in 2004. Chapter 2 is an attempt to address the current lack of translation from research to practice in the psychopathy area. The overview is intended to provide practitioners with an up-to-date, succinct account of juvenile psychopathy. As practitioners encounter youth with psychopathy, their job becomes exponentially more difficult with the current lack of access to practice-related information regarding treatment of this subgroup of youth offenders. The overview examines research published in the past decade and addresses several topics that are currently debated in the literature: biological and social risk factors for psychopathy, assessment of psychopathy, and treatment of juvenile psychopathy. Our hope is that practitioners, armed with this knowledge, can act earlier and more effectively with youth who have psychopathy. A topic of debate among researchers and practitioners alike is the questionability of reliable and valid assessment of psychopathy in youth. While some observers feel that labeling psychopathic youth may be damaging, others believe that assessing youth with psychometrically sound measurement tools may provide valuable assistance in helping this subgroup of disordered youth. Chapter 3 examines the concurrent validity of a widely used tool for the assessment of psychopathy in youth: the Antisocial Process Screening Device (APSD). Results demonstrate that the APSD adequately captures antisocial behaviors characteristic of psychopathic youth, but that it may not adequately measure the affective deficits known to characterize psychopathy. Contemporary discussions of youth psychopathy often focus on putative biological and sociological risk factors for psychopathy. The study described in Chapter 4 examines the relationship of traumatic experiences to psychopathy. More specifically, the study examines how traumatic events may lead to the maintenance of psychopathic tendencies and how features of psychopathy lead the disordered individual to experience a higher number of traumatic events. Results indicate that APSD scores and traumatic experiences are not significantly associated, whereas APSD scores and victimization experiences are significantly positively associated. The chapter then discusses these findings in more detail. The information in this dissertation contributes to psychopathy literature by providing practitioners with information on psychopathic youth, testing the concurrent validity of a widely used assessment tool, and by examining potential risk factors for psychopathy in youth.

▼ This dissertation presents a transdisciplinary model to guide future social work research and practice with childhood trauma and adolescent mental health. The included studies aim to: 1) analyze and describe the transdisciplinary problem of childhood trauma in a vulnerable population 2) research associations between childhood trauma and transdisciplinary adolescent mental health outcomes, and 3) systematically review intervention approaches to a complex adolescent mental health outcome from a transdisciplinary perspective. Comprehensive transdisciplinary theoretical research informs the development of the transdisciplinary model of childhood trauma and adolescent mental health. Epidemiological methods are used to examine trauma prevalence in a sample of adolescent mothers and multivariate regression models are used to analyze trauma subtypes/polytraumatization as risk factors for adolescent perinatal depression. An amended Cochrane Collaboration protocol guides a systematic review of the literature for adolescent complex trauma intervention studies. The first paper confirms childhood trauma an epidemic problem with over 80% of adolescent mothers experiencing trauma, particularly those with perinatal depression. The second paper finds that childhood sexual abuse, childhood loss, and polytraumatization are significant risk factors of adolescent perinatal depression. The final paper finds complex trauma interventions for adolescents limited in number and methodological rigor, and that a trans-diagnostic approach may be helpful to evaluate intervention efficacy in complex populations. The studies presented illustrate the transdisciplinary nature of childhood trauma and adolescent mental health, specifically adolescent perinatal depression and complex trauma. They also demonstrate how transdisciplinary principles can be integrated into the way these problems are conceptualized, measured, interpreted and discussed. This work establishes a foundation for future research on the transdisciplinary model which may eventually help to guide transdisciplinary intervention research on childhood trauma and adolescent mental health.

▼ In spite of a growing body of knowledge of prescription drug misuse (PDM), several important gaps exist. This dissertation is comprised of three independent studies that advance knowledge of PDM among adolescents. Study 1 aims to provide a review of the epidemiology of adolescent PDM and offer a theoretical explanation of the problem using anthropological, cognitive-affective, and interpersonal theories of substance use. This theoretical discussion is important given that unlike illicit drugs, prescription drugs, when prescribed by health care professionals, are legal, pervasive, and often medically beneficial. The theories discussed in Study 1 highlight the unique qualities of PDM compared to use of illicit drugs. Study 2 aims to describe the prevalence and correlates of PDM and distinguish low- vs. high-frequency prescription drug misusers (PDMs) in a state population of youth in residential care for antisocial behavior (N = 723). This is the first known study to investigate the prevalence and correlates of PDM among youth in institutional care. Findings indicate that adolescents in residential care for antisocial behavior have high rates of PDM and comorbid psychiatric and behavioral problems. Youth served in institutional settings should be routinely screened and treated for PDM and co-occurring disorders. Study 3 used latent profile analysis (LPA) to identify subtypes of adolescent sedative/anxiolytic misusers (N = 247). LPA yielded three classes of sedative/anxiolytic misusers with significant heterogeneity across measures of psychiatric and behavioral problems. Class 1 (59.1%) was comprised of youth with significantly lower levels of currently distressing psychiatric symptoms, fewer lifetime traumatic experiences, less problematic substance use histories, less frequent antisocial behavior, and less impulsivity than youth in Classes 2 and 3. Class 2 (11.3%) youth had high levels of currently distressing psychiatric symptoms and more frequent antisocial behavior compared to youth in Classes 1 and 3. Class 3 (29.5%) youth evidenced levels of psychiatric and behavioral problems that were intermediate to those of Class 1 and 2 youth. Significant differences between classes were observed across a range of health, mental health, personality, and behavioral variables. Youth with comparatively high levels of anxiety and depression reported significantly more intensive sedative/anxiolytic misuse than their counterparts and may be at high risk for sedative/anxiolytic abuse and dependence.
