“…As indicated earlier, our profession must make significant advances in research with people of color to ensure that our services (which are primarily grounded in research conducted with predominantly White samples) are meaningful to these communities. Readers are encouraged to access the relevant professional guidelines for research with culturally diverse communities to ensure that culturally sensitive conceptual and methodological approaches are utilized when conducting research with people of color (e.g., APA, 2000APA, , 2003Delgado-Romero, Singh, & De Los Santos, 2018;Hall, Yip, & Zárate, 2016;Hardin, Robitschek, Flores, Navarro, & Ashton, 2014;Leong, Leung, & Cheung, 2010;Ojeda, Flores, Rosales, & Morales, 2011;Okazaki & Sue, 1995;Ponterotto, 2010;Torres, Mata-Greve, Bird, & Hernandez, 2018;Wilkinson-Lee, Armenta, Nuño, Moore-Monroy, & Hopkins, 2018).…”

Vocational psychology scholarship has largely overlooked the work experiences of people of color. In this article, we present evidence that vocational research that addresses the work issues of people of color has been neglected in the key outlets for vocational research among vocational psychologists. We outline seven directions for research inquiry with people of color, namely using culturally sensitive research methods, increasing research on the effectiveness of career interventions, integrating interdisciplinary perspectives, merging psychological and educational science with vocational development, using intersectional approaches, examining collective mobility strategies and structural reforms, and assessing the impact of environmental disasters on long-term educational and work outcomes.

“…Community health workers (CHWs)—or promotoras de salud in Spanish 1 —have been successful in promoting health and well-being and reducing health disparities in Latinx (an all gender-inclusive term for Latino and Latina, which refer to men and women, respectively) and immigrant communities (Nuño et al, 2011; Rios-Ellis et al, 2015; Wilkinson-Lee et al, 2018). Promotoras de salud , or promotoras for short, are community leaders who provide peer support, education, and connection to necessary resources and services.…”

Community health workers (CHWs)-or promotoras de salud in Spanish-have successfully addressed the health needs of Latinx and immigrant populations. However, for promotoras, setting boundaries is particularly difficult given challenges like residing in the same communities as their participants. The purpose of this study was to describe the development and impact of a boundary setting training to support the emotional well-being of immigrant promotoras. The training (four 1-hr sessions) was informed by social cognitive theory and a Chicana feminist framework. The promotoras who participated in the training helped create Lazos Hispanos, a community-based participatory research (CBPR) study and CHW program located in the Southeastern United States. The goal of Lazos Hispanos is to increase access to health and social services among local Latinx community members. Five promotoras completed the training after 1 year of participating in the program. Thematic analysis was used to interpret findings from two semistructured group interviews. Two themes emerged: (1) the promotoras negotiated gendered and cultural expectations when setting boundaries, and (2) they felt a stronger sense of personal and professional agency. Findings suggest that this boundary setting training had a positive effect on their sense of professionalism, emotional well-being, and ability to establish boundaries. They reported having less guilt and anxiety as they navigated gendered and culturally informed expectations. Similar training could be adapted to other immigrant and minoritized groups. Public Significance StatementPromotoras de salud often experience challenges when setting boundaries with participants. Gendered and cultural values and expectations often complicate this process. We developed gender and culturally responsive training for establishing professional boundaries. The training resulted in enhanced emotional well-being among the promotoras as they learned to set limits, expectations, and goals early in the relationship with community participants.

“…The values related to "Community" also resonates with the positive effect of communities' participation in mental health research, in particular using the Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) framing and targeting discriminated groups. Wilkinson-Lee et al (Wilkinson-Lee et al, 2018) for example studied women's mental health needs in the Latina Community of Arizona, based on the community's concerns and through the intervention of "promotoras" (women promoters) which are community members and leaders directly collaborating with the researchers. Doornbos et al (Doornbos et al, 2013) used CBPR to investigate social determinants of women's health in urban, impoverished and underserved communities.…”

“Citizen Social Science” is a fast-growing term within Citizen Science world but not many experiences have been shared in the literature to better shape its meaning. This article discusses novel possibilities of these participatory practices through the critical analysis of a concrete community-based project. We here embrace under the “Social” tag of Citizen Social Science both Computational Social Science methodologies and the Social concerns expressed by the mental health community. The interpretation place persons with a mental condition, as well as caregivers and relatives, at the center of the research cycle by taking the role of Competent Experts In-The-Field. A synergetic relation between Citizen Science, Mental Health research and Computational Social Science also imply a conceptual shift in comparison to standard approaches such as the inclusion of research subjects as active co-designers or the consideration of communitarian spaces as most natural experimental spaces. We here describe how these concepts are put into practice during the whole duration of a research project that has studied the social interactions inside the Community Mental Health Care ecosystem. Important steps entail the creation of a Knowledge Coalition, including a diversity of relevant actors with diverse knowledge and expertise, that is later involved in co-designing the research and in embedding experimental settings in communitarian spaces. The experience allows us to open a wider discussion on the possibilities and limitations of Citizen Social Science practices. Having in mind the ethical debate raised by Citizen Science Public Health and Patients’ driven research, we propose a set of values and practices to be agreed on. We also analyse the participation of the scientists in these kind of projects, which forces them to adopt the role of “camaleons” when executing diverse and versatile tasks. We additionally advocate for a more extended collective interpretation of the results in order to produce socially robust knowledge and enhance actions and policies grounded on these results. Exemplified with the experience herein presented, a more horizontal process that include the enhancement of participation and the revision of the notion of experiment offer new opportunities for Social Sciences from a multidisciplinary perspective.
