We recommend continued research and revisions to the ICU to better assess the presence of callous-unemotional traits in community samples of school-age children.

Objectives: This study examines the role of parental messages about body image in relation to body image dissatisfaction (BID) and depressive symptoms among Latinx college students. We assessed negative and positive messages about body image from mothers and fathers to examine the indirect effect of BID in explaining links from parental communication to depressive symptoms. Method: The sample included 198 Latinx college students in the southeastern United States (age range 18 -25, 70% female). We used four mediation models, whereby parental comments were modeled to affect depressive symptoms through BID. Results: Results indicated that although there was no direct effect between parental messages and depressive symptoms, both negative maternal and paternal comments had indirect effects on depressive symptoms via BID. Conclusions: Parental messages about body image have significant implications for understanding the etiology of BID and concomitant depressive symptoms among Latinx college students. The findings highlight the important role of parental communication in Latinx student health and the need for future studies to better understand Latinx college students' interpretations of their parents' positive and negative comments. Public Significance StatementParental comments about weight and shape are associated with depressive symptomatology among Latinx college students. The present study found that negative maternal and paternal communication is associated with increased BID, which is, in turn, linked to depressive symptoms in this population.

This study offers a qualitative comparison of risk factors for youth violence from the perspectives of community stakeholders in a low-income, urban community experiencing elevated rates of violence. One-on-one interviews were conducted with 36 community stakeholders across three key categories: 10 community residents who cared for youth living in the community, 15 program or service providers, and 11 leaders in community agencies and organizations. A grounded theory approach was used for data collection and analysis to extract themes that emerged from the question, "What are the things in the community that lead to youth violence?" While there was significant overlap in stakeholders' beliefs about precursors to youth violence, important differences also emerged. In order for youth violence prevention strategies to be successful, they must consider and address risk factors identified by community stakeholders involved in the implementation and sustainability.
