“…Sociologists and other African-American Studies scholars have theorized that bold assertiveness and self-expression, which are behavioral traits that could easily warrant behavioral infractions in school, are highly common and even encouraged within Black culture (McNeil et al 2002). On the contrary, the members of the White community tend to place value on their ability to hold back and control their impulses regularly.…”

This study argues that the under-diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactive disorder in Black children is a result of racism that is structurally and institutionally embedded within school policing policies and the tendency to not recognize Black illness. The purpose of this research is to examine how micro-processes lead to structural inequality within education for Black children. It seeks to better understand how institutional racism and flawed behavioral ascriptions lead to the underdiagnosis of attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) in Black children and how that may also contribute to their over-representation in the Bschool-to-prison pipeline.^The goal of this study was to review ethnographic, empirical data and examine the ways (1) how racism within some schools may contribute to the underdiagnosis of ADHD in Black children, (2) how their under-diagnosis and lack of treatment leads to their over-punishment, and (3) how they are over-represented in today's school-to-prison pipeline phenomenon, possibly as a result of such disparities.

“…To date, only a limited number of articles published in JPP have specifically addressed issues of health care disparity or cultural diversity as areas of scientific inquiry. In 2002, JPP published a special issue on Ethnic Minority and Low Income Children and Families (Edited by Diane Willis), which provided a refreshing range of articles on topics such as use of complementary and alternative medications for asthma in a Hispanic community (Bearison, Minian, & Granowetter, 2002), assessment of the interface between culture and treatment in African-American children with disruptive behavior disorders (McNeil, Capage, & Bennett, 2002) and predictors of risky sexual behavior in minority females (Bachanas et al, 2002). The special issue was a milestone in JPP's journey toward an increasing emphasis on culture, yet much remains to be done to stimulate research in this key area.…”

Data from the 2000 census reveal that the United States is becoming increasingly diverse at a rapid pace. Between 1990 and 2000, the Latino/Hispanic population increased by >50% (Guzmán, 2001), and the Black and Asian populations both increased at faster rates than the total population (Barnes & Bennett, 2002; McKinnon, 2001). Population projections indicate that between 2000 and 2010, the proportion of individuals considered ''White alone (not Hispanic),'' will decrease from 69.4% to 65.1%, and by 2050 will be barely a majority, at 50.1% of the total population (US Census Bureau, 2004). The increasing diversification of the population creates certain responsibilities for the execution of ethical science. Guidelines for federal funding require documentation of efforts toward appropriate representation of racial and ethnic minorities within study design. In our own field, submission guidelines for the Journal of Pediatric Psychology indicate that articles must specify the racial/ethnic composition of study samples, and questionnaires, interviews, and procedures that are used with diverse samples must have appropriate normative data. At a minimum, when study samples lack diversity, issues of generalizability and applicability to diverse samples must be addressed within every manuscript. There is also, however, an increasing need for research that specifically assesses the complex relations among race/ethnicity, culture, and health outcomes. The purpose of the Journal of Pediatric Psychology's special section on diversity and health care disparities is to facilitate the presentation of research that addresses (a) the interface between culture and illness management behavior, (b) the mechanisms of underlying health care disparities, and (c) the complex relations among socioeconomic status, racial/ethnic background, and disease outcomes.

“…Recent evidence suggests, however, that the HPV types targeted in the existing vaccines may not be effective against strands found most commonly in African Americans . Therefore, in order to conduct clinical trials to assess safety, dosing, and effectiveness of the vaccines for all youth ethnic minority groups, there is a need to identify strategies to increase their representation, which has traditionally been low in all clinical trial phases for the HPV vaccine and other conditions (e.g., autism, disruptive behavior disorders, and the human immunodeficiency virus) …”

“…6 Therefore, in order to conduct clinical trials to assess safety, dosing, and effectiveness of the vaccines for all youth ethnic minority groups, 7 there is a need to identify strategies to increase their representation, which has traditionally been low in all clinical trial phases for the HPV vaccine and other conditions (e.g., autism, disruptive behavior disorders, and the human immunodeficiency virus). [8][9][10] Increasing ethnic minority youth participation in HPV vaccine trials depends on the willingness of parents to provide consent. 11 While there is some evidence of factors that may contribute to their willingness for certain diseases or conditions (e.g., diabetes, asthma), 12,13 very little is known about factors related to HPV vaccine trials and if they differ from other diseases studied in CTs.…”

Objective: This study describes the development and psychometric evaluation of HPV Clinical Trial Survey for Parents with Children Aged 9 to 15 (CTSP-HPV) using traditional instrument development methods and community engagement principles. Methods: An expert panel and parental input informed survey content and parents recommended study design changes (e.g., flyer wording). A convenience sample of 256 parents completed the final survey measuring parental willingness to consent to HPV clinical trial (CT) participation and other factors hypothesized to influence willingness (e.g., HPV vaccine benefits). Cronbach's a, Spearman correlations, and multiple linear regression were used to estimate internal consistency, convergent and discriminant validity, and predictively validity, respectively. Results: Internal reliability was confirmed for all scales (a ≥ 0.70.). Parental willingness was positively associated (p < 0.05) with trust in medical researchers, adolescent CT knowledge, HPV vaccine benefits, advantages of adolescent CTs (r range 0.33-0.42), supporting convergent validity. Moderate discriminant construct validity was also demonstrated. Regression results indicate reasonable predictive validity with the six scales accounting for 31% of the variance in parents' willingness. Conclusions: This instrument can inform interventions based on factors that influence parental willingness, which may lead to the eventual increase in trial participation. Further psychometric testing is warranted. Clin Trans Sci 2015; Volume 8: 702-709

Abstract: We suggest future research and clinical directions that will ultimately assist clinicians to provide high-quality mental health services to African American children.
