Development, construct validity, and measurement invariance of the Modified Classes of Racism Frequency of Racial Experiences Measure (M-CRFRE) to capture direct and indirect exposure to perceived racism-based police use of force for Black emerging adults.

OBJECTIVES: To utilize focus groups, cognitive interviews, content expert panel, and computer-assisted surveys to develop and pilot survey items assessing exposure to perceived racism-based police violence to enhance the Classes of Racism Frequency of Racial Experiences (CRFRE). METHOD: Focus groups and cognitive interviews were conducted with Black emerging adults (n = 44) in St. Louis, Missouri. Utilizing a grounded theory approach, a thematic analysis of the focus group and cognitive interview transcripts was conducted to identify key items to be added to the CRFRE. Three content experts assessed the face and content validity of survey items. Computer-assisted surveys were conducted to pilot the modified CRFRE with a sample of Black emerging adults (n = 300). Confirmatory factor analyses and structural paths were used to examine the construct validity of the modified CRFRE. RESULTS: Participant's qualitative data and suggestions from content experts resulted in the development of 16 additional survey items regarding exposure to perceived racism-based police violence across three domains (victim, witness in person, and seen in media). The modified CRFRE measure showed construct validity, internal reliability, and measurement invariance between men and women. CONCLUSIONS: This study advances our epidemiological methodology for quantifying exposure to perceived racism-based police violence. Future research is necessary to assess the prevalence of exposure to perceived racism-based police violence and associated mental and behavioral outcomes for Black emerging adults in the U.S. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).

Transforming Occupational Therapy for the 21st Century PAIRE: Recognize Privilege, Acknowledge Injustice, and Reframe Perspective to Reach Equity.

Theories, models, and frameworks provide the foundation for occupational therapy education, research, and clinical practice. While most have a systems approach focus, other factors, such as societal influences and structural inequities, also contribute to health. Using a cross-sectional design, this study identified the gaps in occupational therapy models of practice and presents a novel approach, the PAIRE (Recognize Privilege, Acknowledge Injustice, and Reframe Perspective to Reach Equity) Model. PAIRE is focused on achieving occupational equity through the reciprocal and intersectional impact of the provider/team, the person/people seeking occupational therapy, and the occupation-in-context, with continuous influences of access, context, and justice. We describe the components of PAIRE and illustrate its functionality in education, research, and clinical practice contexts as well as case examples.

Exploring professional theories, models, and frameworks for justice-oriented constructs: a scoping review / Explorando teorias, modelos e estruturas profissionais para construções orientadas para a justiça: uma revisão de escopo

Abstract Introduction The role of systemic marginalization in negatively impacting the health and wellbeing of individuals and populations is well-established. Although the profession has begun to address the impact of colonialism in clinical and educational contexts, these topics are less represented in the underpinning theories, models, and frameworks that guide research, practice, and education. Objective To identify and analyze peer-reviewed journal articles about professional theories, models, and frameworks describing justice-oriented constructs. Method We searched for journal articles published between 1971 and 2021 as indexed in PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, Scopus, PsycInfo, CINAHL, and Web of Science. We used the Levac et al. methodology and followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews extension (PRISMA-ScR) and the JBI Scoping Review Network. Included articles featured theories, models, frameworks that described justice-oriented constructs. Results Forty-five articles published from 1987 to 2021 met inclusion criteria. These included 19 models, 19 frameworks, five theories, and two paradigms. The majority of articles originated in Canada, the United States, and Australia and within the past 20 years. The most commonly described constructs were inclusion, culture, and occupational justice. Conclusion This scoping review provides an overview of publications describing theories, models, and frameworks in occupational therapy literature that include justice-oriented constructs. Although justice-oriented constructs were the central topic in 35 articles, the context was not explicitly connected to professional activity. Only seven articles discussed research, which reveals a major concern considering its foundational role in the profession.

Resumo Introdução O papel da marginalização sistémica no impacto negativo na saúde e no bem-estar dos indivíduos e das populações está bem estabelecido. Embora a profissão tenha começado a abordar o impacto do colonialismo em contextos clínicos e educacionais, estes tópicos estão menos representados nas teorias, modelos e enquadramentos subjacentes que orientam a investigação, a prática e a educação. Objetivo Identificar e analisar artigos de periódicos revisados ​​por pares sobre teorias, modelos e estruturas profissionais que descrevem construtos orientados para a justiça. Método Pesquisamos artigos de periódicos publicados entre 1971 e 2021 indexados em PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, Scopus, PsycInfo, CINAHL e Web of Science. Usamos o Levac et al. metodologia e seguiumos a extensão Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses para extensão Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) e a JBI Scoping Review Network. Os artigos incluídos apresentavam teorias, modelos e estruturas que descreviam construções orientadas para a justiça. Resultados Quarenta e cinco artigos publicados de 1987 a 2021 preencheram os critérios de inclusão. Estes incluíram 19 modelos, 19 estruturas, cinco teorias e dois paradigmas. A maioria dos artigos teve origem no Canadá, nos Estados Unidos e na Austrália nos últimos 20 anos. Os construtos mais comumente descritos foram inclusão, cultura e justiça ocupacional. Conclusão Esta revisão de escopo fornece uma visão geral das publicações que descrevem teorias, modelos e estruturas na literatura de terapia ocupacional que incluem construtos orientados para a justiça. Embora os construtos orientados para a justiça tenham sido o tema central em 35 artigos, o contexto não estava explicitamente ligado à atividade profissional. Apenas sete artigos discutiram a pesquisa, o que revela uma grande preocupação considerando o seu papel fundacional na profissão.
