“…The realities of poverty include limited access to transportation, poor housing and neighborhoods, child‐ or elder‐care problems, inadequate schools, or limited health care. For racial and ethnic minorities, institutional racism may also negatively influence client access to resources and engagement with the community (Overholser, ). There is a lack of primary prevention methods related to poverty, including limited access to quality education, job training, and career opportunities (Rank, ).…”

“…Career counselors who work with clients living in poverty are encouraged to focus on success factors similar to those used within therapeutic counseling, such as relationship building, incorporation of clients' lived experiences, and use of community resources. Using a multidisciplinary approach, community partners can be called on to provide information and services related to access, such as transportation, financial and legal advice, child care/elder care, and health care benefits (Boyd, Kamaka, & Braun, ; Overholser, ). When retraining or education is involved, collaborations with institutions such as adult education centers, community colleges, and universities can provide valuable information on college applications, fee waivers, tuition supports, and supplies (Boyd et al, ; Overholser, ).…”

Poverty has an impact on mental health and the counseling process in profound ways; however, counselors may fail to recognize the importance of poverty in clients' lives. The authors propose a model to help counselors navigate the complexities of counseling clients who are living in poverty. The I-CARE Model may help counselors develop insight about personal biases, acknowledge harsh realities of poverty, remove barriers to growth, and expand on the clients' own strengths.La pobreza tiene un profundo impacto sobre la salud mental y el proceso de consejería; sin embargo, es posible que los consejeros no reconozcan la importancia de la pobreza en las vidas de sus clientes. Los autores proponen un modelo para ayudar a los consejeros a comprender las complejidades de los clientes que viven en la probreza. El Modelo I-CARE puede ayudar a los consejeros a desarrollar su percepción de sesgos personales, reconocer las duras realidades de la probreza, eliminar barreras al crecimiento y ampliar las fortalezas de los clientes.

“…Interactions.-Our team strove to establish rapport with participants through warm, positive interactions. Building patient rapport through empathy and compassion is integral to therapeutic treatment (Overholser, 2016;Rogers 2007); as such, it is integral to treatment research. In general, people are more likely to persevere in a study when they are treated with respect and kindness (Kim et al, 2014;Wells et al, 2015).…”

Objective/Background: Sleep and circadian disorders are prevalent worldwide and frequently comorbid with physical and mental illnesses. Thus, recruiting and retaining samples for sleep and circadian research are high priorities. The aims of this paper are to highlight barriers to recruitment and retention for participants with sleep and/or circadian dysfunction, and to share strategies used across two randomized controlled trials (RCTs) testing the efficacy of the Transdiagnostic Intervention for Sleep and Circadian Dysfunction (TranS-C) to address these challenges. Participants:The first RCT recruited 176 adolescents with an evening circadian chronotype, who were 'at-risk' in at least one of five health domains: behavioral, cognitive, emotional, physical, and social. The second RCT recruited 121 low-income, racial/ethnic minority adults diagnosed with severe mental illness (SMI) and comorbid sleep and/or circadian dysfunction. Methods:The current study examined participant, environment, and research factors that impacted recruitment and retention of participants with sleep and/or circadian dysfunction, and identified strategies to enhance recruitment and retention.Results: Strategies used to recruit participants included: community-based recruiting, reducing stigma, and alleviating burdensome sleep data collection. Strategies used to retain participants in our studies included: flexible scheduling, mitigating participant barriers, building rapport with participants through empathic and positive interactions, creative problem-solving, consulting participant networks, and utilizing incentives and other positive engagement tools. Conclusion:Both at-risk adolescents and low-income, minority adults with comorbid SMI and sleep and/or circadian dysfunction experience significant barriers to research participation. Recruitment and retention strategies were creatively tailored to meet the unique barriers of these diverse populations.
