Resumen

Este estudio piloto muestra que BrotherlyACT, una intervención digital, redujo las actitudes pro-violencia y la agresión reactiva en hombres negros jóvenes. El programa demostró la viabilidad y el compromiso para prevenir la violencia con armas de fuego entre los jóvenes desatendidos.

Área de la Ciencia:

Salud pública
Ciencias del comportamiento
Salud digital

Sus antecedentes:

Las lesiones y muertes por armas de fuego están aumentando entre los jóvenes estadounidenses, afectando desproporcionadamente a los hombres negros jóvenes.
Los programas tradicionales de prevención de la violencia tienen un alcance limitado en este grupo demográfico.
Se necesitan enfoques innovadores y culturalmente sensibles para abordar los factores determinantes de la violencia.

Objetivo del estudio:

Evaluar los efectos preliminares de BrotherlyACT, una intervención digital para hombres jóvenes negros (de 15 a 24 años).
Evaluar el impacto de la intervención en la violencia comunitaria, el consumo de sustancias y la salud mental.
Mejorar el acceso al apoyo precrisis y a los recursos de salud mental en entornos de alta violencia.

Principales métodos:

Un estudio piloto incluyó a 70 hombres negros jóvenes con un riesgo bajo a moderado de violencia con armas de fuego.
Los participantes completaron 7 módulos de video de la intervención BrotherlyACT.
Las encuestas previas y posteriores a la intervención evaluaron las actitudes hacia las armas/la violencia, la agresión, la angustia y la depresión.

Principales resultados:

Después de la intervención, los participantes mostraron reducciones significativas en las actitudes pro-violencia (P<.001) y la agresión reactiva (P=.008).
La agresión proactiva, la angustia psicológica y los síntomas depresivos se mantuvieron estables.
Se observó una alta viabilidad y compromiso, y la mayoría de los participantes completaron los módulos rápidamente.

Conclusiones:

BrotherlyACT muestra potencial para reducir las actitudes pro-violencia y la agresión reactiva en los varones negros jóvenes.
Las intervenciones digitales culturalmente sensibles son factibles e impactantes para la prevención de la violencia con armas de fuego en los jóvenes desatendidos.
Se necesitan más investigaciones para explorar los efectos a largo plazo y la escalabilidad de BrotherlyACT.

Aggression

Aggression

Humans engage in aggression when they seek to cause harm or pain to another person. Aggression takes two forms depending on one’s motives: hostile or instrumental. Hostile aggression is motivated by feelings of anger with intent to cause pain; a fight in a bar with a stranger is an example of hostile aggression. In contrast, instrumental aggression is motivated by achieving a goal and does not necessarily involve intent to cause pain (Berkowitz, 1993); a contract killer who murders for...

Community Based Intervention

Community Based Intervention

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.
Foundations of Community Mental Health Programs
Central to the success of community-based interventions is the...

Bullying

Bullying

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Conduct Disorder

Conduct Disorder

Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

Group Design

Group Design

The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between...

Surveys

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
