The Social

This study examined the perceptions of social support reported by 70 African-American, 44 Hispanic, 20 Native-American, and 69 Asian-American doctoral students ( N = 203) concerning their experiences in graduate school. The Doctoral Student Survey was used to measure the levels and types of social support provided. One-way analysis of variance of mean scores indicated that a majority of doctoral students perceived the academic environment on campus and faculty advisers to be strong sources of social support, while perceiving the social environment on campus as unsupportive of their progress. The African-American and Native-American doctoral students perceived the social environment on campus to be less supportive than did the Hispanic and Asian-American doctoral students, and Native-American doctoral students perceived their departments to be less supportive than did the African-American, Hispanic, and Asian-American doctoral students.

Hispanic Serving

This study examines the ways campus artifacts communicate Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI)- and Latinx-servingness at dually designated Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs) and Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs). Using critical ethnographic methods, the researchers collected data at three AANAPISI- HSIs regionally concentrated in a western state. Findings from this study reveal that the campus environments of the three institutions were in a state of flux and are captured through two interconnected themes that emerged from the data: striving to become and undermining progress towards becoming. This study has implications for understanding how AANAPISI-HSIs communicate AAPI- and Latinx-servingness through campus artifacts.

Future Work

Abstract An increasing number of families, funders, and community providers seek very brief psychosocial caregiver interventions, yet the evidence for such condensed interventions is not established. Based on the Savvy Caregiver Program, we explored the feasibility, acceptability, and outcome trends for a condensed 3-session version titled, Savvy Express. Based on a single-group, pre- and post-test intervention design, we examined post-intervention and 3-month data on 116 English-speaking racially and ethnically diverse care partners caring family members with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. 41% of the sample was non-Latino white and comprised of Latinas, African Americans and Asian American/API. Most care partners were either adult children or spouses caring for someone with AD or other dementia. Over 80% were college educated. Two of three participants completed all 3 classes. Our findings indicate significant improvements in caregiver levels of depressive symptomatology and anxiety, competence, management of the situation, reduction of expectations, making positive comparisons, and reactivity to the family member’s memory behavior. Upwards of 90% would recommend the program to other caregivers. Savvy Express is a brief caregiver intervention with high acceptability and feasibility. Improvements in care partner psychosocial outcomes signal a promising practice to reduce the burden of caregiving. A major focus of the paper focuses on barriers and facilitators to uptake of the study procedures and intervention with community-based partners. Future work is needed to establish the efficacy of Savvy Express across a longer observation period, and with less educated, low-income participants, and limited English-speaking families.
