“…Secondly, the LG embraces a major assumption on the inextricable connection between researchers and collaborators in co-constructing knowledge which was a strong tie with my desire for collaboration. Finally, the LG requires researchers to center voices-especially minoritized ones-as an imperative to the research project (Petrovic et al, 2015;Taylor et al, 1995;Woodcock, 2016). Each of these connect directly to the scope, aims, and purpose of this research.…”

Using a narrative inquiry methodology, grounded by the polymorphous paradigm and institutional betrayal as a conceptual framework, I highlight the experience of seven college student sex workers. I explore their perceptions of and engagement with their colleges/universities and the faculty, staff, and administrators that run them. Specifically, I sought to understand how they make meaning of their invisibility on campus and I inquire about what they think institutional support means and how it could manifest for them. Findings include the reality that these college student sex workers have little confidence in their institutional leaders to understand them, they view their campus as places where they are always already not welcome, and they had little vision for how their institutions could be supportive. I conclude with recommendations for educators and administrators and discussion of implications.

“…Second, we chose three interviews which were noticeably different in content, and coded each of them inductively (Elo & Kyngas, 2007), which resulted in 362 codes. This inductive coding approach related to the content manifest to "let the text talk" (Graneheim & Lundman, 2004), to get a fine-grained sense of the women's descriptions where they are able to reflect their authentic voices in terms of the way they perceived and experienced friendships with other women, without the premature judgment or pervasive stereotypes (Gilligan, 1995;Taylor et al, 1995) that surround women with a SUD. Third, we grouped the codes according to their content similarities and differences into 52 categories and subcategories, which were again condensed into 26 categories.…”

“The relationship changed because I had changed”: Experiences and perceptions of friendships between women treated for substance use disorder in women-only residential programs

Historically, the notion of friendships between women has been replete with negative myths and perceptions. However, studies show that friendships between women contribute to their wellbeing as a source of support and empowerment. Social support is known to be a key factor during recovery from a substance use disorder (SUD). Previous studies have examined a variety of relationships, but less attention has been paid to friendships between women with SUD. This qualitative study examined the perceptions and experiences of friendship of 14 women who recovered from a SUD and were treated in women-only residential treatment programs (RTP) in Israel. Content analysis revealed four categories that paralleled their linear life-course from childhood to adulthood: social rejection and the longing for connection and acceptance, interest-based versus non-interest-based friendships, being distant versus becoming close, and friendships with “normative” women versus friendships with “clean addicts.” Each category is situated on a conceptual axis representing the tension between trust and mistrust, the unifying theme. These findings are best understood within the framework of relational cultural theory (RCT), which emphasizes the importance of relationships in people's lives. Therapists should consider the positive impact of friendships between women, as a theme during the therapy process.

“…Sharing lived experiences, such as race and gender between a mother and a daughter may further validate the sexual health knowledge being delivered. Groups that offer shared experiences, or affinity around sexual health inquiries within the context of race and gender, are important for creating comradery and support, particularly for adolescent females whose self-efficacy development is often connected to other female associations (Stevens, 2002;Taylor et al, 1995).…”

“…Understanding one's cultural value is an important milestone during adolescence as girls in particular become more sensitive to how they present themselves to the world and how the world around them receives them (Stevens, 2002;Taylor et al, 1995). Pursuing a greater sense of self during adolescence may present challenges to Black girls whose physical appearance may not meet Eurocentric standards of desirable beauty and womanhood (Wingood et al, 2002).…”

Purpose: Few interventions focus on the unique developmental contexts specific to Black adolescent girls living in the United States. This article conducts a scoping review to identify interventions targeted at the well-being of Black adolescent girls. Method: The authors conducted a comprehensive search using electronic databases to identify peer-reviewed journal articles that center interventions to address the well-being of Black adolescent girls. Results: Of the 3,144 unique records identified, eight peer-reviewed articles met the criteria for inclusion. Most interventions focused on issues related to sexual health ( n = 4), followed by interventions focusing on enhancing cultural values ( n = 3), and obesity prevention ( n = 1). Four interventions were both culturally and gender-responsive, three interventions were primarily culturally responsive, and one intervention was primarily gender-responsive with all articles focusing on Black girls’ well-being. Discussion: More interventions are needed that center on the distinct and intersectional challenges and strengths that Black adolescent girls experience within society.
