“…Nine measures, including the MEIM (Phinney, 1992 ), the Cultural Connectedness Scale [CCS] (Snowshoe et al, 2015 ), the Cultural Connectivity Scale–California [CCS-CA] (King et al, 2019 ), the Alaska Native Cultural Identification [ANCI] (Wolsko et al, 2009 ), the Hawaiian Culture Scale (Hishinuma et al, 2000 ), the Navajo Cultural Identity Measure (Rieckmann Traci et al, 2004 ), the Residence Culture Identity Measure [RCIM] (Weber et al, 2015 ), the Acculturation, Habits, and Interests Multicultural Scale for Adolescents [AHIMSA] (Unger et al, 2002 ), and a new 6-item Cultural Connectedness Measure adapted from the MEIM (Hilario Carla et al, 2014 ), were used across 12 of the included studies to assesses adolescents' cultural connectedness. Of these measures, only the MEIM, the RCIM and the CCS were each used in two studies.…”

“…Of the 12 studies that used these measures, eight of them reported the internal consistency of some of these measures with three studies (Rieckmann Traci et al, 2004 ; Snowshoe et al, 2015 , 2017 ) additionally reporting their validity. One study (King et al, 2019 ) only reported validity, reporting the face validity of the CCS-CA. The reported internal consistency was adequate (Cronbach's alpha ≥ 0.70) in all but one study (Mastrotheodoros et al, 2021 ) that reported poor reliability for the MEIM in some time points.…”

IntroductionAdolescent connectedness, a key component of positive youth development, is associated with various positive health outcomes. Several measures have been developed to assess this construct. However, no study has summarized data on the existing measures of adolescent connectedness. We conducted this scoping review to fill this gap. We specifically aimed to: (i) identify the existing measures of adolescent connectedness, (ii) determine the most frequently used measures among the identified measures, and (iii) summarize the psychometric properties of these measures with a keen interest in highlighting their cross-cultural utility and validity.MethodsWe searched CINAHL, Embase, PsycInfo, PubMed, and Web of Science databases for relevant articles published since database inception to 7th February 2021. Our search structure contained the key words “Adolescents”, “Connectedness”, and “Measures”. We also searched Open Gray for potentially relevant gray literature.ResultsWe identified 335 measures from 960 eligible studies assessing various domains of adolescent connectedness, including school, family, community, peer, ethnic, racial, cultural, religious/spiritual, and self-connectedness. Most of the included studies (72.1%) were from North America and Europe. Most of the measures (n = 132, 39.4%) were measures of school connectedness among adolescents. Of the identified measures, 60 of them met our criteria of frequently used measures (i.e., the top five most used measures per domain of connectedness). These frequently used measures were used across 481 of the included studies with 400 of them reporting their psychometric properties. The reported reliability of these measures was adequate (Cronbach's alpha ≥ 0.70) in 89.8% of these studies. These measures also appeared to be valid in terms of their face, content, construct, criterion, convergent, discriminant, concurrent, predictive, measurement invariance, and cross-cultural validity.ConclusionsThere exists a wide array of measures of adolescent connectedness. Sixty of these measures have been frequently used across studies and appear to be reliable and/or valid. However, this evidence is mostly from North America and Europe. This is a reflection of the limitation of this review where only studies published in English were considered. It might also reflect the paucity of research in other regions of the world. More research is needed for clearer insights.

“…When other Indigenous communities are interested in or motivated to adapt the CCS-CA to their local population, there are several things to be considered in that process. Most steps have been delineated in our previous work on the development of and adaptation of the measure (see King et al, 2019). We are including the following for consideration during that process as well.…”

Programs serving American Indian (AI) youth are an important component of maintaining cultural identity and healthy lifestyles. The current research took a community-engaged approach to evaluate an urban AI youth after-school program that has transitioned into a culturally grounded prevention program. Ways to create a successful research collaboration between AI communities and academics is discussed as well as implications for understanding the importance of culturally-grounded programs for AI youth who reside in urban areas. Overall, the cultural and health components that are integrated into the after-school program were highlighted as primary strengths because they help foster a healthy lifestyle and deeper connection to the heritage/culture for the youth who participated. disconnect from native lands, family members, language, and culture (Brown,

“…The CCS and the adapted CCS-CA are 29-item instruments with three sub-scales (Identity, Traditions, & Spirituality). We identified the CCS in Phase 2 (literature search) and adapted it in Phase 3 of the Culture is Prevention Project (see King et al, 2019).…”

“…Snowshoe and colleagues validated the CCS in a sample (N = 319) of First Nations/Indigenous youth King et al, 2019). The study also reported that culture (measured by the CCS) was positively and significantly associated with measures of mental health/well-being (Zimmerman, Ramirez-Valles, Washienko, Walter, & Dyer, 1996) Indian Health, nd).…”
