When COVID-19 emerged, however, university operations, including community-engaged teaching and research, had to pivot. The conversation was no longer about sustaining community engagement but about enduring the pandemic for the sake of students, faculty, and community. In order to inform a more durable community engagement strategy for the postpandemic world, we apply a sensemaking approach for the purpose of organizational learning. We collected quantitative data about 40 planned courses and surveyed 22 community-engaged faculty from April to August 2020 (spring–summer academic quarters). In the same period, we gathered qualitative data from 41 respondents comprising 28 faculty and 13 community partners. The quantitative analysis suggested that, overall, faculty maintained a positive outlook regarding the strategies they used to address the needs of students and commu...

However, few studies have evaluated the long-term impact of CBL on student engagement. This study examines students’ self-evaluation (N=1,257) of the impact CBL experiences on their civic engagement attitudes and skills at an R1 Liberal Arts institution. The study data comes from the Community Based Learning Impact Scale (CBLIS), a 40-question survey of undergraduates and graduates enrolled in a CBL course. Using data from 2011–2018, a civic engagement score based on 12 CBLIS questions was created and analyzed using T-tests, ANOVA, regression, and time series analysis to determine the impact student CBL experiences had on improvements in civic engagement attitudes and skills. Compared with white students, students of color reported greater improvements in civic attitudes and skills. Overall, students reported a significant improvement in their civic engagement after completing their CBL course ...

The Community-Based Learning Impact Scale is an instrument developed to measure the impact of community-based learning on a liberal arts university campus. Scale items were generated from focus groups, literature, and existing scales. The goal of this pilot test was to refine wording and scale format while providing preliminary results for the utility of the scale. The instrument is a 43-item measure with 33 items representing proposed constructs civic engagement, institutional/community relations, academic learning, psychological wellbeing, and professional development. An end-of-quarter email was sent to students enrolled in CBL courses asking them to participate in an online survey assessing their CBL experiences. One hundred and ninety-seven students responded to this survey: 77% undergraduate and...

The workplace is a setting where people may experience discriminatory treatment. Objectives: This study examined associations, between negative emotions due to treatment based on race (NE), workplace racial discrimination (WRD), and substance use outcomes (drinking and smoking), stratified by race. Methods: Data from the cross-sectional 2014 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), Minnesota and New Mexico sub-samples, were analyzed. This study excluded non-Hispanic white participants, resulting in a sample of n ¼ 3098 adult, U.S. residents. Multivariable logistic regression models were utilized to examine the associations, and possible interactions, between WRD, NE, and substance use (alcohol and tobacco). Results: Prior to stratification, WRD was not associated with drinking or smoking after controlling for NE and other sociodemographic variables, however, NE was associated with heavy drinking. NE appeared to account for some of the observed bivariate associations between WRD and heavy drinking and daily smoking. Post-stratification, WRD was associated with heavy drinking for non-Hispanic other respondents, even after controlling for NE. For non-Hispanic black participants, NE was associated with smoking after controlling for WRD. A stratified interaction analysis of WRD Ã NE revealed that there was only an association between NE and heavy drinking for Hispanic participants who did not experience WRD. Conclusions: The relationship between WRD and substance use may be in part accounted for by NE. Further exploration is needed to more fully understand why associations exist for some race/ethnicity groups but not others.

Data for this study come from the 2014 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), an annual telephone survey of US residents, aged 18 and older. Respondents from MN and NM (n = 13,655) completed a module titled Reactions to Race, which contained items assessing workplace racial discrimination and negative emotions experienced based on treatment due to race, as well as standard BRFSS items assessing a diagnosis of depression. Results support previous research concluding that non-Hispanic White survey respondents are less likely to experience racial discrimination in the workplace than other race/ethnicity groups, but were more likely to report both depression and negative emotions. Analyses stratified by race/ethnic group suggest that, after controlling for gender, marital ...

Weighted unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression models were run to assess if racial bullying involvement was associated with youth substance use. Data for this study come from the Health Behaviors in School-Aged Children survey (n = 7,585). An association between racial bullying status (not involve, bullying victim, bullying perpetrator, or mixed bullying victim/perpetrator) and youth substance was identified in this study. Racial bully perpetrators were most likely to have used cigarettes, alcohol, and marijuana, followed by youth in the mixed victim/perpetrator group. When analyses were stratified by race, non-Hispanic White and Hispanic youth experienced an increased risk of cigarette, alcohol, and marijuana use if in the perpetrator or mixed group (compared to those not involve...

Analysis utilized Collaborative Psychiatric Epidemiology Surveys (CPES) merged data from the National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS) and the National Survey of American Life (NSAL). Afro-Caribbean subgroups were more likely than Asian and Latino American subgroups to report perceived discrimination. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine which groups within the model were more likely to report chronic health conditions. Perceived discrimination was found to vary by race and was inversely associated with chronic respiratory conditions for Afro-Caribbeans. In general, years of US residency were associated with health across all chronic conditions where those in the USA longer were more likely to experience health-related problems. Perceived discrimination revealed mixed results.

This analysis utilizes linked data from the Collaborative Psychiatric Epidemiology Surveys (CPES). Logistic regression revealed significant subgroup differences in reports of chronic respiratory, cardiovascular, and pain conditions across nine ethnic subgroups masked by racial categorization. Findings suggest that precautions must be taken by public health social workers as there may be far more ethnic heterogeneity than is apparent among broad racial categories.

This comparative analysis examines the association between chronic cardiovascular, respiratory and pain conditions, race, ethnicity, nativity, length of residency, and perceived discrimination among three racial and nine ethnic subgroups of Asian Americans (Vietnamese, Filipino, and Chinese), Latino-American (Cuban, Portuguese, and Mexican), and Afro-Caribbean American (Haitian, Jamaican, and Trinidadian/Tobagonian) respondents. Design. Analysis used weighted Collaborative Psychiatric Epidemiology Surveys-merged data from the National Latino and Asian American Study and the National Survey of American Life. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine which groups within the model were more likely to report perceived discrimination effects. Results. Afro-Caribbean subgroups were more likely to report perceived discrimination than Asian American and Latino-American subgroups were. Logistic regression revealed a significant positive association with perceived dis...

However, no clear understanding of prevalence of chronic conditions across foreign-born groups exists, and few studies include Afro-Caribbean populations. This study utilizes the National Latino and Asian American Study and the National Survey of American Life to investigate nativity differences in reports of chronic cardiovascular, respiratory, and pain conditions between foreign-born (n = 3,579) and native-born (n = 1,409) respondents. Native-born respondents were significantly more likely than foreign-born counterparts to report chronic respiratory [c2(1, n = 4,958) 30.78, P ≤ .05] and pain [c2(1, n = 4,958) 3.77, P ≤ .05] conditions. Logistic regression models reveal significant associations between chronic conditions and other demographic factors known to influence immigrant health. Afro-Caribbean populations were less likely than other foreign-born respondents to report respiratory and pain conditions. Findings illustrate the importance of comparing health profiles across native-born and foreign-born counterparts with the inclusion of Afro-Caribbean Americans.

Concomitantly, some funders have shown rising expectations for increased accountability on the part of Community-Based organizations (CBOs), even though agencies often lack the associated funding and expertise required. This paper describes a training evaluation model, developed and refined over the past ten years, that partners student needs for real-world evaluation experience with CBOs needs for technical expertise and assistance in conducting evaluation activities that support program improvement. The process of developing and implementing the model is presented, and content analysis of ten years of student feedback is summarized.

The present study assesses the role of friendship closeness among youth in prevention intervention groups in shaping their HIV risk-related attitudes, intentions, perceived self-efficacy and perceived norms. Data from an experimental test of a group HIV prevention intervention are used to assess the relationship of friendship on cognitive outcomes at posttest and 6-month follow-up, in a multilevel regression design. Friendship among group members was assessed at baseline and post-intervention, for youth in the experimental intervention and in a control, career exploration, condition. Level of friendship within the group was positively related to attendance and enjoyment of the intervention in the control group only. Most cognitive outcomes were unaffected by individual or group levels of friendship closeness, but those effects observed were opposite to those desired. Friendly groups were no more likely to converge in their cognitions over time than were less-friendly groups. The need for more research on the effects of friendship on intervention outcomes, and for multilevel analyses of group effects, are discussed.
