“…Black girls in this study reported moderate rates of PTSD, but did not report moderate or high rates of abuse. Previous research studies with Black adolescents and incarcerated African American women suggest they are likely to underreport mental health correlates, including PTSD, depression, and so on (Lu et al, 2017). Moreover, Black girls’ ability to radiate strength to cope with past trauma and rebuff future victimization involves adopting a protective demeanor that has been noted with this population, something scholars call survival coping (Kerig, 2018; Morris, 2016).…”

Black girls bear a higher burden of juvenile justice involvement in the United States, relative to other racial/ethnic female groups. Emerging evidence suggests that system involvement is related to trauma histories and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This study investigated the associations between individual, family, and peer factors, and their relationship to PTSD among Black girls with juvenile justice involvement. Cross-sectional data were collected from 188 Black girls in detention. Measures assessed were history of abuse, negative peer norms, future orientation, caregiver support, self-esteem, age, and PTSD symptoms. Major regression findings indicated that higher rates of caregiver support, higher negative peer norms, lower self-esteem rates, and lower future orientation rates were correlated with greater PTSD symptoms. Treatment programs for this population warrant a multisystemic approach, which includes caregivers and peers, and bolstering important constructs such as self-esteem and hopefulness.

“…Although the CES-D demonstrates solid psychometric properties with Pakistani samples, the measure was developed and normed in the United States. Emerging evidence indicates that the CES-D may possess a lack of distinction within its items to capture ethnic, racial, and international variation in key depressive symptoms (i.e., depressed affect, somatic complaints, and interpersonal relations; Lu, Lindsey, Irsheid, & Nebbit, 2017). This lack of sensitivity may limit the power by which researchers can detect large effects when linking the CES-D to key health concerns (e.g., suicidal behaviors) among diverse samples.…”

A Protective Model for Suicidal Behaviors in American and Pakistani College Students

et al. 2019

There is a paucity of cross-national studies evaluating protective models for suicidal behaviors. Thus, using a behavioral framework, the purpose of this study was to examine whether higher levels of life-enhancing behaviors could mitigate or weaken the relation between depressive symptoms and suicidal behaviors in United States and Pakistani college students. A total of 811 students (449 Pakistani and 362 U.S. students) participated in the study. Results indicated that the strength of the relation between depressive symptoms and suicidal behaviors was stronger for U.S. students. In addition, the association between depressive symptoms and suicidal behaviors weakened in the presence of high engagement in life-enhancing behaviors. This effect was comparable in strength for American versus Pakistani students. The results offer preliminary evidence for life-enhancing behaviors as a protective factor for suicide across unique cultural settings and may serve as a valuable area of focus for secondary prevention programs.

“…The iCGI was chosen as many specific scales that exist to measure childhood depression have shown their limit in transcultural contexts (Bhugra et al, 2014; Lu, Lindsey, Irsheid, & Nebbitt, 2017; Marquer et al, 2015). Moreover, depressive disorders in migrant children may be complex with cultural issues and many comorbidities.…”

Objectives: Cultural variations complicate psychiatric care, especially for migrant children. Transcultural psychotherapy (TCP) is an original psychotherapeutic technique developed to address complex situations of resistant mental disorders in the context of migration. This research will aim to assess the efficacy, the acceptability, and describe the therapeutic processes of TCP for the treatment of depression in first or second generation of migration children and adolescents. Method: Mixed method study using a multicenter, Bayesian randomized clinical trial with blinded evaluation of the primary outcome. Two parallel groups of 40 children or adolescents from 6 to 20 years old and their family will be included. In the experimental group, patients will attend six sessions of transcultural therapy in addition to usual care. Results: The improved Clinical Global Impression scale scores at 6 months will be compared across groups. Qualitative analysis of families and therapists' interviews will allow to specify the therapeutic processes and acceptability of the therapy. Conclusion: The findings will encourage the development and routinization of TCP for second-line use and its adaption as a first-line technique in this population.

In France, one in three children born has at least one parent who comes from elsewhere and 17% of children under 18 are migrants (INSEE, 2016). This proportion continues to rise and as they may differ in physical appearance, language, religion, and culture from the nonmigrant population (Hernandez, 2010), psychiatric care of immigrated families constitutes a growing challenge in many
