个人安全 Think Tank
An individual’s personal safety relies deeply on the absence of fear or actual threat of physical, 心理, or emotional harm from others or 自我. The personal safety think tank is dedicated to monitoring and working to reduce interpersonal (i.e., homicide) and 自我-directed (i.e., 自杀) violence that threatens the personal safety of emerging adults.
目标: To provide evidence-based scientific knowledge that informs the development of culturally relevant practices and policies focused on ensuring the personal safety of emerging adults.
简介: Community violence exposure (CVE) and its health impact is a public health crisis. Violent crime has steadily increased over recent years and has disproportionately affected Black communities. Emerging adulthood (18–29 years old) is a vulnerable period of development and Black emerging adults may be at increased risk for negative physical and mental health consequences from CVE. This integrative review was conducted to evaluate the available evidence on health outcomes in Black emerging adults exposed to CVE. This review appraised published studies (2012–2022) addressing physical and mental health outcomes of Black emerging adults with CVE.

简介: There is limited research about suicidal behaviors among Black emerging adults (peak age of 自杀 risk) who report exposure to police violence. The current study applies an integrated approach to examine individual, 直接的环境, and community-based risk and protective factors of 自杀 among Black college students who reported previous exposure to police violence.

简介: Suicidality (thinking about, 规划, and attempting) has become a national, growing public health concern for Black emerging adult college students in America due to increased rates among this population. The goal of the current cross-sectional study is to examine the mediating role of police contact anxiety (PCA) and moderating role of grit in the relationship between exposure to videos of police use of force in media and suicidality.

简介: Exposure to police violence is a public health concern for Black emerging adults ages 18-29 given its prevalence and association with negative health outcomes. 然而, research examining the role of police legitimacy in the relationship between exposure to police use-of-force and personal safety interventions is scant. This study investigated the mediating role of perceived police legitimacy in the relationship between exposure to police use-of-force and personal safety interventions (reliance on police, 自我, or others) in a sample of Black emerging adults.
