Black Youth M.A.T.T.E.R: Positive Youth Development Group Intervention (BYM)

10. januar 2019 opdateret af: Caitlin Sayegh, Children's Hospital Los Angeles

A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Positive Youth Development Group

One in three Black boys born today in the United States will be incarcerated at some point in their lifetime, compared to one in 17 White boys. Black males are more likely to be arrested, convicted, and given unfair sentences. Black youth comprise of 16% of the Nation's public schools, but account for 32% of suspended students. For over 30 years, research has consistently highlighted the disproportionately severe disciplinary practices used with Black male students.Consistent research demonstrates that students who are suspended or expelled tend to drop out of school and/or become incarcerated in a juvenile detention center. Black students may relate their racial-ethnic identity, such as their understanding of their race and ethnicity, to academic success. Moreover, their attitudes may result from the expectation of their teachers. It is imperative that advocates devoted to positive youth development intervene to this issue negatively affecting the well-being of Black youth. Under the mentorship of Caitlin Sayegh, Ph.D., postdoctoral fellow Tierra Ellis, Ph.D., has developed a 9-session group intervention called Black Youth M.A.T.T.E.R. (BYM), which aims to debunk mental health stigma, help children shift their cognitive distortions about education, and normalize their experiences through group activities, while introducing them to advocacy and self-empowerment. This intervention may decrease mental health symptoms, increase motivation to approach goal-oriented outcomes, and reverse internalized beliefs and attitudes which may foster more positive perceptions related to school.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

The proposed study is a randomized control trial mixed-methods pilot study of BYM. We aim to finalize the intervention protocol, assess feasibility and acceptability of the intervention, and evaluate the potential impact of BYM on pilot participants. The mixed-methods research design approach will be used within a single study for the collection, analyzing, and merging of qualitative and quantitative data. The purpose of a convergent parallel mixed methods research design is to simultaneously collect qualitative and quantitative data for a more comprehensive analysis.

Research Questions: (1) What do Black adolescents and other community stakeholders perceive as the most effective approaches for the BYM project? (2) What are BYM participants' perceptions of the intervention? (3) Is there a decrease in mental health symptoms (e.g., depression, anxiety, trauma) for BYM participants? (3) Is there an increase in resiliency for BYM participants? (4) Is there an increase in positive attitudes toward seeking mental health treatment for BYM participants? (5) Is there a difference in motivation to approach goal-oriented outcomes for BYM participants? (6) Is there an increase in perceived positive self-concept for BYM participants? (7) Is there a decrease in risk behaviors for BYM participants? Intervention Description: The session topics are as follows: (1) Debunking the Stigma of Mental Health in the Black Community, (2) School to Prison Pipeline, (3) Achievement Gap, (4) Cultural Barrier that Black Students Experience with Teachers, (5) Trauma 101, (6) Trauma 102, (7) Actions of Today, Blueprints for Tomorrow: Youth Organizing to Transform Education film, (8) My Voice Will Be Heard (Part I), and (9) My Voice Will Be Heard (Part II). The intervention will be conducted in 2-hour weekly group sessions.
