Selected Publications
Predictors of Injury to Youth Associated with Physical Restraint in Residential Mental Health Treatment Centers
Child & Youth Care Forum2020
The restraining of children is a pervasive but controversial practice that has resulted in the injury and death of children. Despite this threat of harm, little research has explored what factors contribute to the risk of a child becoming injured during a restraint event.
An exploration of youth physically restrained in mental health residential treatment centers
Children and Youth Services Review2020
Youth are physically restrained in residential treatment centers to prevent them from harming themselves or others, and this practice is common in treatment settings. Consequences from restraint (including clinical, emotional, and physical harm; even death) demonstrate the necessity of reducing restraint use.
Do Student Ratings of School Climate Predict School Outcomes in Urban Alternative High Schools?
Perspectives on Urban Education2021
This research examines the relationship between student ratings of school climate and three student outcome variables: Number of credits earned in one semester, number of days in attendance in one academic year, and number of discipline referral incidents in one academic year.
Increase in Sharing of Stressful Situations by Medical Trainees through Drawing Comics
Journal of Medical Humanities2021
Medical trainees fear disclosing psychological distress and rarely seek help. Social sharing of difficult experiences can reduce stress and burnout. Drawing comics is one way that has been used to help trainees express themselves. The authors explore reasons why some medical trainees chose to draw comics depicting stressful situations that they had never shared with anyone before.
Undergraduate College Pathway Programs Designed to Attract and Matriculate Students from Underrepresented Groups into Medicine.
Southern Medical Journal2023
Undergraduate college pathway (or pipeline) programs support students' interests as they explore advanced degree and career pathways. Many programs aim to diversify the medical workforce by reducing barriers that may have otherwise prevented desired academic and career goals; however, variability in structure, expectations, benefits, and outcome data exist.
