“…That is, adapting cultural systems that were working in one context or time may work less well (e.g., be neutralized or become counterproductive) in a new context or time. Notably, psychological interventions may be especially critical during these lags, as culturally relevant and sensitive interventions (Gándara, Rumberger, Maxwell-Jolly, & Callahan, 2003; Murry, Liu, & Bethune, 2016) can represent environmental reactions to emerging needs within adapting cultural systems. For example, interventions have been successfully implemented to help communities, families, and individuals deal with macrotime shifts in environmental affordances associated with changing (a) U.S. demographics (Umaña-Taylor et al, 2017), (b) public health and behavioral health needs (Murry et al, 2016), or (c) education policies (Gándara et al, 2003).…”

Child socialization and development are, in part, products of adapting cultural systems. These systems evolve from the combined influence of collective history and current environmental affordances. They permeate family systems, shaping child development via numerous mechanisms, including structures and roles; values, beliefs, and goals; and parenting-to name a few. Recent growth in the study of child development among racial, ethnic, and cultural minority groups, which has been supported by important cultural-developmental theoretical advances, sheds essential light on the ways in which adapting cultural systems permeate child socialization and development in all families. Across this scholarship, there are numerous examples of the effectiveness of adapting cultural systems for promoting developmental competencies. There are also examples, however, in which adapting cultural systems either fail to promote developmental competencies or undermine the development of competencies. To address these theoretical and empirical tensions, we advance a set of propositions. Together, the propositions situate the developmental consequences of adapting cultural systems within multiple scientific traditions, including psychological, ecological, family systems, developmental, and biological perspectives. These propositions can support scientific inquiries aimed at identifying both the benefits and costs of adaptive cultures for development among diverse groups. (PsycINFO Database Record

“…Following our review of critical protective factors that may buffer adolescents and young adults from succumbing to challenges associated with growing up in lower resource, rural communities, we consider how these factors and processes can be captured in preventive interventions. Studies indicate that targeted interventions integrating family contexts may be especially protective (Brody et al, 2012;Murry et al, 2016). In particular, investigations show that involved, supportive, and vigilant parenting has been associated with youth risk engagement prevention, with prolonged effects as youth transition from adolescence into adulthood (Brody et al, 2013;Murry, Berkel, et al, 2014).…”

“…Variation in protective factors and adaptive processes have been observed across geographic location (Metzger et al, 2018), residential characteristics (Elder & Conger, 2000;Rhew et al, 2011), economic disadvantage (Ge et al, 2002), and gender (Milot & Ludden, 2009;Wexler et al, 2016). Critical variations among racial and ethnic groups have been noted, suggesting that racial and sociohistorical contexts provide an important framework for risk reduction and protective processes that may inform cultural assets and processes among rural youth (Kiang & Supple, 2016;Murry et al, 2016;Stein et al, 2016). Additionally, studies have demonstrated how gender shapes future orientation and time perspective and planning for transitions among rural youth (e.g., M. K. Johnson et al, 2005).…”

“…Existing reviews of substance use among Black people are limited in scope. Specifically, these reviews focused narrowly on specific subgroups such as youth (Chipungu et al, 2000;Lauricella, Valdez, Okamoto, Helm, & Zaremba, 2016; Y. M. Lee, Cintron, & Kocher, 2014), rural adolescents (McBride Murry, Liu, & Bethune, 2016), incarcerated males (Lichtenstein, 2009), rural males (Brown & Smith, 2006), females (Davis & Ancis, 2012), or individuals with alcohol use disorder (Sutherland & Ericson, 2010). The one comprehensive review of 23 articles was limited to research conducted by social workers, focused only on substance use interventions, and few of the samples were exclusively Black (Clark et al, 2014).…”

Black individuals experience a disproportionate burden of substance-related disabilities and premature death relative to other racial/ethnic groups, highlighting the need for additional research. The National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network (CTN), a research platform for multisite behavioral, pharmacological, and integrated trials designed to evaluate the effectiveness of substance use treatments in community settings with diversified patient populations, provides a wealth of research knowledge on substance use. Although CTN trials have enrolled over 5,000 Black individuals since its inception in 2000, there has been no synthesis of the findings, discussion of the implications, or suggestions for future research for Black individuals. Members of the Minority Interest Group of the CTN conducted a scoping review of published research on Black participants in CTN trials. Studies were included if the sample was more than 75% Black and/or specific findings pertaining to Black participants were reported. The review yielded 50 articles, with studies that mostly focused on baseline characteristics, followed by substance use treatment outcomes, HIV/risky sex behaviors, retention, comorbid conditions and measurement issues. This review highlighted the importance of several issues that are critical to understanding and treating substance misuse among Black people, such as the characteristics of Black people entering treatment, measurement equivalence, and engaging/retaining adolescents and young adults in treatment. There is still a continued need to identify the most effective treatments for Black individuals who use substances. The CTN offers several untapped opportunities to further advance research on Black individuals who use substances (e.g., secondary analyses of publicly available data).
