“…The patterns of substance use and misuse are known to be different among African American adolescents who historically report less alcohol use, but greater marijuana use than non-Hispanic whites and Hispanics (CDC, 2012; Johnston et al, 2012). Furthermore, due to the historical legacy of racism and discrimination, family structures and resources of African American families can be quite different than for non-Hispanic whites, and are often characterized by lower access to financial, educational, and other social material resources which may affect family functioning (Williams, Allen, & Robert Stockton, 1973). In spite of this, similar to previous research (Tobler & Komro, 2010), the majority of this sample of urban youth, whom was identified as at increased risk of high school dropout, experienced high-increasing trajectories of family functioning (67.1%) and parent support (59.3%).…”

We sought to examine latent classes of family functioning and parent support trajectories during high school and whether these trajectories are associated with an increased risk of substance use and misuse among urban youth. A total of 850 adolescents (Mage = 15.1 years) were included in this study, assessed at baseline, 12-, 24-, and 36-months postbaseline, and completed self-report measures on past 30-day alcohol and marijuana use, binge drinking, and measures of family functioning and parent support. Latent class growth analysis revealed that trajectories of high family functioning and parent support are associated with a decreased risk of marijuana use. Findings may be helpful to inform family-based preventive interventions.

“…The women in the study commonly referred to parents and family members who provided strong guidance and support that profoundly impacted their development as leaders. Williams and Stockton (1973) states that it is in the family where personality is developed, identity is formed, status is assigned, and basic values and norms are learned. It became apparent that these African American women possessed certain qualities that can be attributed to their childhood rearing.…”

The purpose of this research study was to explore the intersectionality of race and gender for African American women through their lived experiences of how they developed as leaders. This qualitative study aimed to research the implications of race and gender for African American women in academia. A phenomenological research method was employed to capture the essence of the participants' stories and to fully understand their common experiences. Results show that the women in the study confirmed that race and gender informed their development as leaders in academia. Five themes were generated from their stories. In general, most of them described how the intersection of race and gender affected their leadership development and career trajectories. In spite of the barriers they encountered, these women perform skillfully in an environment where inequities, negative assumptions and doubts are prevalent. Even through adversity, they carry out their responsibilities but often in an atmosphere where they constantly have to prove themselves. Yet, these African American female leaders have persevered and continue to demonstrate their ability to rise above and perform with tenacity.
