Our aim was to inform efforts to support these professionals by gaining an understanding of the knowledge and experiences of liaisons and their professional development preferences and needs. Based on survey data collected from 49 liaisons in four states, we identified gaps in understanding of college student homelessness, such as underestimates of the rate of student homelessness.

Our primary aims were to identify unique profiles among preschool-aged children who were unstably housed and determine whether family-level and classroom-level factors predicted children’s profiles. Participants, drawn from the national Head Start CARES study, were 314 4-year-old children in one of 107 Head Start centers. Teachers’ reports of children’s behavior and social skills were entered into a latent profile analysis that revealed a four-profile structure with four subgroups of unstably housed children that were distinct in their functioning. Potential predictors of profiles included parent self-reports of their own psychological distress and education, teacher reports of the quality of relationships with the children, and observed teacher emotional support of students. Multinomial regression analyses revealed that the quality of the student–teacher relationship was a significant predictor of children’s profile membership.

There is also growing acknowledgement that food insecurity and homelessness among students is associated with incredible distress and a host of negative consequences for students’ success. Understanding the mechanisms that link basic needs insecurity to academic success could identify critical points of intervention to ensure educational equity among students. Our aim was to determine whether university students’ wellness mediated the association between unmet basic needs (i.e. homelessness and food insecurity) and academic success. Of the 1,330 students at a large southeastern U.S. university who completed an online survey (28% response rate), 15.49% were food insecure and 9.47% had been homeless in the past 12 months. Results of multinomial logistic regression analyses indicated that psychological well-being and sleep mediated the link between food security and GPA. Homelessness was not associated with GPA, so mediation was not examined.

Haskett (bio), Dana Kotter-Grühn (bio), and Suman Majumder (bio) Recently, there has been a steep increase in attention to insecurity among college students for basic needs (e.g., Miles, McBeath, Brockett, & Sorenson, 2017; Morris, Smith, Davis, & Null, 2016); however, published research on student food insecurity and housing insecurity remains sparse. It is critical to understand the prevalence of these challenges because they are associated with mental health functioning, academic success, and graduation rates (see Goldrick-Rab, Richardson, Schneider, Hernandez, & Cady, 2018). Prior studies (Miles et al., 2017; Tsui et al., 2011) point to high co-occurrence of food insecurity and homelessness, so the intersection of these challenges should be explored. To prevent basic needs insecurity and offer appropriate support for those who are affected, we must understand correlates of college food insecurity and student homelessness. Thus, the purpose of this investigation was to answer questions of prevalence, co-occurrence, and correlates of food insecurity and homelessness. A novel feature of this study was our examination of the degree to which cumulative marginalized/ minoritized characteristics predicted food insecurity and homelessness. Cumulative risk models, in which risks that tend to cluster together are equally weighted, are widely used in developmental psychology and have advantages over studies of single predictors of outcomes (Ashworth & Humphrey, 2019; Evans, Li, & Whipple, 2013); to date, such models have not been applied to studies of student food insecurity or student homelessness, even though predictors tend to be correlated (Crutchfield & McGuire, 2019). METHOD The research office at our large public university in the Southeastern US randomly selected 7,000 students; 1,923 completed our online survey (27.5% response, much higher [End Page 109] than most prior studies). They represented the student body in race (4.7% African American; 5.3% biracial or multiracial; 14.9% Asian; 71.3% White; 3.8% other), ethnicity (6.0% Hispanic), and degree sought (71.0% undergraduate, 27.8% graduate, 1.1% associate's). Mean age was 21.74 years (SD = 4.4; 17—61 years). The vast majority, 94.7%, were enrolled full time. The sample slightly overrepresented women, 51.3% compared to the university population with 45.6%; 39.6% were men; and the remainder used a different term when asked about their gender identity (e.g., genderfluid, transMale). Most, 78.8%, considered themselves to be heterosexual, 9.0% did not reply to the item, 5.7% were bisexual, 2.7% were gay/lesbian, and the remainder were asexual, questioning, or used a different term. An e-mail invitation to voluntarily complete the online survey was sent to the 7,000 students in Fall 2017. The survey was a modification of the one developed by the California State University system (Crutchfield & Maguire, 2017) and the Hope Center (Goldrick-Rab, Richardson, & Kinsley, 2017). Our IRB approved the study. To measure food insecurity, the USDA Household/Individual Food Security Survey Module (FSSM) 10-item version was used with a 30-day time frame (Bickel, Nord, Price, Hamilton, & Cook, 2000). Two of the 10 questions asked participants to report the number of days various food situations occurred in the past 30 days. The response format might have been confusing, because almost no participant answered those 2 questions; therefore, we adjusted the coding for the 10-item survey using a conservative approach to defining very low food security. Those who provided affirmative responses to none (0) of the FSSM items were food secure, participants with scores of 1—2 were marginally food secure, those with scores of 3—5 were low food secure, and those with scores of 6—8 were very low food secure. We generated a food insecurity variable by combining students who were low food secure or very low food secure. The U.S. Department of Education (2016) definition of homelessness includes individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. To assess homelessness using this definition, we asked students to indicate all the places they had stayed in the past 12 months, with 9 items indicative of homelessness (e.g., at a shelter, temporarily staying with friends, outdoor location). The items were recommended by Crutchfield...}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF COLLEGE STUDENT DEVELOPMENT}, author={Haskett, Mary E. and Kotter-Gruhn, Dana and Majumder, Suman}, year={2020}, pages={109–114} } @article{owens_haskett_norwalk_2019, title={Peer Assisted Supervision and Support and Providers' Use of Triple P- Positive Parenting Program}, volume={28}, ISBN={1573-2843}, DOI={10.1007/s10826-019-01385-w}, number={6}, journal={JOURNAL OF CHILD AND FAMILY STUDIES}, author={Owens, Caitlyn R. and Haskett, Mary E. and Norwalk, Kate}, year={2019}, month={Jun}, pages={1664–1672} } @article{schilling_fine_ritter_haskett_2019, title={Practitioners' Perceptions of and Use of Triple P}, volume={50}, ISSN={["1573-3327"]}, DOI={10.1007/s10578-019-00877-6}, abstractNote={A challenge of large-scale adoptions of Triple P is low uptake among accredited practitioners.

Most homeless adolescents (61%), and 46% of housed adolescents reported having questions about sex. Further, twice as many homeless adolescents communicated primarily with health care providers compared to housed adolescents. Importantly, among homeless adolescents, communicating primarily with health care providers or teachers was related to greater likelihood of condom use and communicating primarily with religious leaders was related to greater likelihood of HIV testing. Parent communication was unrelated to homeless adolescents’ sexual health behaviors. Last, communicating primarily with peers was associated with reduced likelihood of HIV testing.

Our findings regarding longitudinal changes in children's externalizing symptomatology supported the differential susceptibility hypothesis: Physically abused children who were at greater risk due to low levels of self-regulation were more susceptible to the beneficial effects of positive parenting, compared to those with high levels of self-regulation.Findings suggest that although physical abuse presents formidable challenges that interfere with the development of adaptive self-regulation, positive parenting behaviors may ameliorate the detrimental effects of maladaptive self-regulation on the development of externalizing symptomatology. In addition, the positive and negative effects of caregiving behaviors were more prominent among physically abused children at great risk due to low self-regulation.Findings from the present study highlight the importance of attending to positive parenting behaviors and child self-regulation when working with physically abused children who are exhibiting externalizing symptomatology.}, number={2}, journal={CHILD ABUSE & NEGLECT}, author={Kim-Spoon, Jungmeen and Haskett, Mary E. and Longo, Gregory S. and Nice, Rachel}, year={2012}, month={Feb}, pages={95–107} } @article{haskett_stelter_proffit_nice_2012, title={Parent emotional expressiveness and children's self-regulation: Associations with abused children's school functioning}, volume={36}, ISSN={["1873-7757"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.chiabu.2011.11.008}, abstractNote={Identifying factors associated with school functioning of abused children is important in prevention of long-term negative outcomes associated with school failure. The purpose of this study was to examine the degree to which parent emotional expressiveness and children's self-regulation predicted early school behavior of abused children. The sample included 92 physically abused children ages 4–7 and one of their parents (95.7% mothers). Parents completed a measure of their own emotional expressiveness, and parents and teachers provided reports of children's self-regulatory skills. Children's school functioning was measured by observations of playground aggression and teacher reports of aggression and classroom behavior. Parents’ expression of positive and negative emotions was associated with various aspects of children's self-regulation and functioning in the school setting. Links between self-regulation and children's school adjustment were robust; poor self-regulation was associated with higher aggression and lower cooperation and self-directed behavior in the classroom. There was minimal support for a mediating role of children's self-regulation in links between parent expressiveness and children's behavior. Findings point to the relevance of parent emotional expressivity and children's self-regulatory processes in understanding physically abused children's functioning at the transition to school. Although further research is needed, findings indicate that increasing parental expression of positive emotion should be a focus in treatment along with reduction in negativity of abusive parents. Further, addressing children's self-regulation could be important in efforts to reduce aggression and enhance children's classroom competence.}, number={4}, journal={CHILD ABUSE & NEGLECT}, author={Haskett, Mary E. and Stelter, Rebecca and Proffit, Katie and Nice, Rachel}, year={2012}, month={Apr}, pages={296–307} } @article{perlman_cowan_gewirtz_haskett_stokes_2012, title={Promoting Positive Parenting in the Context of Homelessness}, volume={82}, ISSN={["1939-0025"]}, DOI={10.1111/j.1939-0025.2012.01158.x}, abstractNote={Recent national reports suggest that nearly 1,000,000 families with children experience homelessness and that this number is rising (National Center on Family Homelessness, 2009; U.S. Conference of Mayors, 2010; U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 2011).

This study examined interactions between parenting beliefs and parenting behaviors in the prediction of early childhood externalizing and internalizing symptoms. Design. The authors observed sensitive and negative intrusive parenting behaviors during infancy and toddlerhood in conjunction with self-reported maternal beliefs about the importance of discipline/control and concerns regarding spoiling in a community sample of 185 African American and European American mother–child dyads. Multiple regression techniques modeled interactions between parenting self-reported parenting beliefs and observed parenting behaviors to predict mother-reported child internalizing symptoms and mother-reported child externalizing symptoms at 30 and 36 months. The analyses also explored the role of ethnicity as a moderator of these relations. Results. The combination of high and average spoiling beliefs and low levels of sensitive parenting was associated with elevated child internalizing symptoms. Negative parenting and beliefs reflecting concerns about spoiling were independent risk factors for elevated child externalizing symptoms. Conclusion. Parenting beliefs and behaviors should be considered jointly to identify risks for the development of early behavior problems.}, number={1}, journal={PARENTING-SCIENCE AND PRACTICE}, author={Barnett, Melissa A. and Shanahan, Lilly and Deng, Min and Haskett, Mary E. and Cox, Martha J.}, year={2010}, pages={43–59} } @article{mcpherson_lewis_lynn_haskett_behrend_2009, title={Predictors of Parenting Stress for Abusive and Nonabusive Mothers}, volume={18}, ISSN={["1573-2843"]}, DOI={10.1007/s10826-008-9207-0}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF CHILD AND FAMILY STUDIES}, author={McPherson, Andrea V. and Lewis, Kristen M. and Lynn, Amy E. and Haskett, Mary E. and Behrend, Tara S.}, year={2009}, month={Feb}, pages={61–69} } @article{falconer_haskett_mcdaniels_dirkes_siegel_2008, title={Evaluation of Support Groups for Child Abuse Prevention: Outcomes of Four State Evaluations}, volume={31}, ISSN={0160-9513 1540-9481}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01609510801960890}, DOI={10.1080/01609510801960890}, abstractNote={ABSTRACT Parent support groups have grown in popularity as a strategy for preventing child maltreatment, but there have been few evaluations of these groups.

Ninety-eight physically abused children (ages 5–10) were clustered on the basis of social adjustment, as measured by observed behavior with peers on the school playground and by teacher reports of social behavior. Seventy-seven matched nonabused children served as a comparison sample. Clusters were validated on the basis of observed parental sensitivity, parents’ self-reported disciplinary tactics, and children's social information processing operations (i.e., generation of solutions to peer relationship problems and attributions of peer intentions in social situations). Three subgroups of physically abused children emerged from the cluster analysis; clusters were labeled Socially Well Adjusted, Hanging in There, and Social Difficulties. Examination of cluster differences on risk and protective factors provided substantial evidence in support of the external validity of the three-cluster solution. Specifically, clusters differed significantly in attributions of peer intent and in parenting (i.e., sensitivity and harshness of parenting). Clusters also differed in the ways in which they were similar to, or different from, the comparison group of nonabused children. Results supported the contention that there were clinically relevant subgroups of physically abused children with potentially unique treatment needs. Findings also pointed to the relevance of social information processing operations and parenting context in understanding diversity among physically abused children. Pending replication, findings provide support for the importance of considering unique treatment of needs among physically abused children. A singular approach to intervention is unlikely to be effective for these children. For example, some physically abused children might need a more intensive focus on development of prosocial skills in relationships with peers while the prosocial skills of other abused children will be developmentally appropriate. In contrast, most physically abused children might benefit from training in social problem-solving skills. Findings also point to the importance of promoting positive parenting practices in addition to reducing harsh discipline of physically abusive parents.}, number={5}, journal={CHILD ABUSE & NEGLECT}, author={Ward, Caryn Sabourin and Haskett, Mary E.}, year={2008}, month={May}, pages={577–588} } @article{haskett_scott_nears_grimmett_2008, title={Lessons from Katrina: Disaster mental health service in the Gulf Coast region}, volume={39}, ISSN={["0735-7028"]}, DOI={10.1037/0735-7028.39.1.93}, abstractNote={In this article, 4 mental health professionals provide firsthand accounts of experiences as volunteers inthe Gulf Coast region following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in the fall of 2006.

Methodology: Participants included physically abusive parents (n=56) and a closely-matched group of comparison parents (n=62). Social cognitive risk variables measured were (a) parent’s expectations for children’s abilities and maturity, (b) parental attributions of intentionality of child misbehavior, and (c) parents’ perceptions of their children’s adjustment. Affective risk variables included (a) psychopathology and (b) parenting stress. A series of logistic regression models were constructed to test the individual, combined, and interactive effects of risk variables on abuse group membership. Results: The full set of five risk variables was predictive of abuse status; however, not all variables were predictive when considered individually and interactions did not contribute significantly to prediction. A risk composite score computed for each parent based on the five risk variables significantly predicted abuse status. Wide individual differences in risk across the five variables were apparent within the sample of abusive parents. Conclusions: Findings were generally consistent with a cognitive behavioral model of abuse, with cognitive variables being more salient in predicting abuse status than affective factors. Results point to the importance of considering diversity in characteristics of abusive parents. Objectif: Cette recherche avait pour but de se servir du modèle béhavioral pour choisir et examiner des facteurs de risques chez des parents abusifs, afin de mettre en lumière les influences individuelles et combinées des variables socio-cognitives et affectives qui servent à prédire les comportements abusifs. Méthode: Les participants comprenaient des parents qui ont agressé physiquement leurs enfants (n=56) et un groupe comparatif apparié de parents (n=62). On a mesuré les variables socio-cognitives suivantes: (a) les attentes des parents vis-à-vis des capacités et de la maturité de leurs enfants; (b) comment ils percevaient les intentions de leurs enfants lorsque ceux-ci étaient désobéissants; et (c) leur perception à savoir si leurs enfants étaient bien adaptés ou non. Les variables affectives de risques étaient: (a) la psychopathologie; et (b) le stress des responsabilités familiales. On a conçu une série de modèles axés sur la régression logistique pour tester les effets individuels, combinés et interactifs des variables par rapport à la probabilité qu’ils maltraiteront leurs enfants. Résultats: L’ensemble des cinq variables prédit les mauvais traitements. Toutefois, prises individuellement, toutes les variables ne sont pas utiles pour prédire les comportements abusifs, et les interactions entre les variables non plus. Un score du risque a été obtenu pour chacun des parents, axé sur cinq variables de risques, et ce score a su prédire de façon importante les comportements abusifs. Dans le contexte de l’échantillon de parents, on note des différences individuelles remarquables pour les cinq variables de risques. Conclusions: Les constats s’apparentent au modèle béhavioral cognitif visant les comportements abusifs. Les variables cognitives sont plus importantes pour prédire les comportements abusifs que les facteurs affectifs. Les résultats soulignent combien il faut prendre en considération la diversité des caractéristiques propres aux parents abusifs.

Método: La muestra estuvo compuesta por un grupo de padres maltratadores fı́sicos (n=56) y un grupo comparación de padres no maltratadores emparejados (n=62). Las variables sociocognitivas de riesgo medidas fueron (a) las expectativas de los padres sobre las habilidades y la madurez de los niños/as, (b) Las atribuciones parentales de intencionalidad sobre las conductas negativas de los hijos/as y (c) las percepciones de los padres sobre la adaptación de sus hijos/as. Las variables de riesgo afectivas incluyeron (a) la presencia de psicopatologı́a y (b) el estrés parental. Se construyeron una serie de modelos de regresión logı́stica para evaluar los efectos individuales, combinados e interactivos de las variables de riesgo en la pertenencia al grupo de maltrato fı́sico.
