Detaljert 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.
