Income African American Women
2016Co-Authors: Sagepub. Com/journalspermissions. Nav, A Woods, Telsie A. Davis, Miesha Rhodes, Amit Shahane, Nadine J. KaslowAbstract:Few studies have investigated the impact of interviewer race on the results gleaned through psychological assessment. African American and European American clinical evaluators conducted face-to-face interviews with 161 low-income African American women seeking services at an inner-city hos-pital following a suicide attempt. Participants were administered measures related to various current life stressors, including the Survey for Recent Life Events, which assesses various forms of daily hassles, and the Index of Spouse Abuse, which taps both physical and nonphysical intimate partner violence (IPV). Multivariate analyses of variance revealed a significant differ-ence on the participants ’ reports of daily hassles and IPV to African American and European American evaluators. With regard to overall life stress, African American women reported higher levels of total life stress, time pressure stress, social acceptability stress, and social victimization to African American than in European American–led interviews.

suicidal Abused african american women s response to a culturally informed intervention
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 2010Co-Authors: Nadine J. Kaslow, Miesha Rhodes, Amy S Leiner, Susan L Reviere, Emily Jackson, Kafi Bethea, Jeshmin Bhaju, Minjung Gantt, Herman F Senter, Martie P ThompsonAbstract:Objective: This study examined (a) the efficacy of a manualized, culturally informed, empowerment-focused psychoeducational group intervention (Nia) designed in accord with the theory of triadic influence or treatment as usual (TAU) for reducing psychological symptomatology (suicidal ideation, depressive symptoms, posttraumatic stress symptoms, general psychological distress), and (b) the effect of Nia versus TAU on the relation between exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) and psychological symptomatology in these women. Method: Two hundred eight low-socioeconomic-status African American women with a recent history of IPV and a suicide attempt were randomized to Nia or TAU and assessed at baseline, postintervention, and 6- and 12-month follow-up. They were assessed on their levels of IPV (Index of Spouse Abuse), suicidal ideation (Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation), depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory-II), posttraumatic stress symptoms, and general psychological distress (Brief Symptom Inventory). Results:Hierarchical linear modeling found that women receiving the culturally informed Nia intervention showed more rapid reductions in depressive symptoms and general distress initially, and the between-group difference in depressive symptoms persisted at follow-up. Following intervention, compared with women randomized to TAU, women in Nia exhibited less severe suicidal ideation when exposed to physical and nonphysical IPV. Conclusions:Findings highlight the value of incorporating Nia as an adjunctive intervention for Abused, suicidal, low-income women. They underscore the ways the intervention needs to be bolstered to address more directly more mediating and moderating constructs, as well as the need to target more effectively the key outcomes.

posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms among low income african american women with a history of intimate partner violence and suicidal behaviors self esteem social support and religious coping
Journal of Traumatic Stress, 2005Co-Authors: Rebekah Bradley, Ann C Schwartz, Nadine J. KaslowAbstract:There is a dearth of research on risk/protective factors for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among low-income African American women with a history of intimate partner violence (IPV), presenting for suicidal behavior or routine medical care in a large, urban hospital. We examined self-esteem, social support, and religious coping as mediators between experiences of child maltreatment (CM) and IPV and symptoms of PTSD in a sample (N = 134) of low-income African American women. Instruments used included the Index of Spouse Abuse, the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, the Taylor Self-Esteem Inventory, the Multidimensional Profile of Social Support, the Brief Religious Coping Activities Scale, and the Davidson Trauma Scale. Both CM and IPV related positively to PTSD symptoms. Risk and resilience individual difference factors accounted for 18% of the variance in PTSD symptoms over and above IPV and CM, with self-esteem and negative religious coping making unique contributions. Both variables mediated the Abuse-PTSD symptom link. In addition, we tested an alternate model in which PTSD symptoms mediated the relationship between Abuse and both self-esteem and negative religious coping.

child maltreatment and substance Abuse among u s army soldiers
Child Maltreatment, 2008Co-Authors: Deborah A Gibbs, Sandra L Martin, Ruby E Johnson, Danielle E Rentz, Monique Clintonsherrod, Jennifer HardisonAbstract:Although substance Abuse has consistently been linked to child maltreatment, no study to date has described the extent of substance Abuse among child maltreatment offenders within the military. Analysis of U.S. Army data on all substantiated incidents of parental child maltreatment committed between 2000 and 2004 by active duty soldiers found that 13% of offenders were noted to have been abusing alcohol or illicit drugs at the time of their child maltreatment incident. The odds of substance Abuse were increased for offenders who committed child neglect or emotional Abuse, but were reduced for child physical Abuse. The odds of offender substance Abuse nearly tripled in child maltreatment incidents that also involved co-occurring Spouse Abuse. Findings include a lack of association between offender substance Abuse and child maltreatment recurrence, possibly because of the increased likelihood of removal of offenders from the home when either substance Abuse or Spouse Abuse were documented.

Spouse Abuse and child Abuse by army soldiers
Journal of Family Violence, 2007Co-Authors: Sandra L Martin, Deborah A Gibbs, Ruby E Johnson, Danielle E Rentz, Monique Clintonsherrod, Jennifer HardisonAbstract:This study analyzed data collected by the U.S. Army’s Family Advocacy Program, the group primarily responsible for family violence prevention, identification, evaluation, treatment, and follow-up on Army installations. Patterns of Spouse Abuse and child Abuse perpetrated within a five year period (2000–2004) were examined in a sample of 10,864 Army Soldiers who were substantiated for family violence offenses. Three groups of family violence offenders were compared: (1) those who perpetrated Spouse offenses only; (2) those who perpetrated child offenses only; and (3) those who perpetrated both Spouse and child offenses. Results showed that the majority of substantiated family violence offenders were Spouse offenders who had not committed child Abuse (61%), followed by child offenders who had not committed Spouse Abuse (27%), and finally those who committed both Spouse and child offenses (12%). The three groups of family violence offenders differed in terms of the types of Abuse they perpetrated (neglect of children, emotional Abuse, physical Abuse, and sexual Abuse), their experiences of being a Spouse Abuse victim, and sociodemographic characteristics. Twelve percent of all Spouse Abusers committed multiple Spouse Abuse incidents, and 10% of all child Abusers committed multiple child Abuse incidents.

family violence in the military a review of the literature
Trauma Violence & Abuse, 2006Co-Authors: Danielle E Rentz, Deborah A Gibbs, Sandra L Martin, Monique Clintonsherrod, Jennifer Hardison, Stephen W MarshallAbstract:Family violence, including both child maltreatment and Spouse Abuse, is a public health concern in both military and civilian populations. However, there is limited knowledge concerning violence in military families relative to civilian families. This literature review critically reviews studies that examine child maltreatment and Spouse Abuse among military families and compares family violence in military versus nonmilitary populations. Physical Abuse and neglect compose the majority of the reported and substantiated cases of child maltreatment in military families, followed by sexual Abuse and emotional Abuse. On the other hand, physical Abuse represents more than 90% of all substantiated cases of Spouse Abuse in military families, followed by emotional Abuse, neglect, and sexual Abuse. Mixed results were found when comparing military and nonmilitary families in terms of child maltreatment and Spouse Abuse, in part because of a lack of consistency in policies and practices between military and civilian agencies.

physical and nonphysical partner Abuse and other risk factors for low birth weight among full term and preterm babies a multiethnic case control study
American Journal of Epidemiology, 1999Co-Authors: Jacquelyn C Campbell, Sara Torres, Josephine Ryan, Christine King, Doris W Campbell, Rebecca Y Stallings, Sandra C FuchsAbstract:This study sought to determine the risk of low birth weight from intimate partner Abuse. The case-control design was used in a purposively ethnically stratified multisite sample of 1,004 women interviewed during the 72 hours after delivery between 1991 and 1996. Abuse was determined by the Index of Spouse Abuse and a modification of the Abuse Assessment Screen. Separate analyses were conducted for 252 full term and 326 preterm infants. The final multiple logistic regression models were constructed to determine relative risk for low birth weight after controlling for other complications of pregnancy. Physical and nonphysical Abuse as determined by the Index of Spouse Abuse were both significant risk factors for low birth weight for the full term infants but not the preterm infants on a bivariate level. However, the risk estimates decreased in significance in the adjusted models. Although today's short delivery stays make it difficult to assess for Abuse, it is necessary to screen for domestic violence at delivery, especially for women who may not have obtained prenatal care. The unadjusted significant risk for low birth weight that became nonsignificant when adjusted suggests that other Abuse-related maternal health problems (notably low weight gain and poor obstetric history) are confounders (or mediators) that help to explain the relation between Abuse and low birth weight in full term infants.
