Resilience and empowerment in immigrant experiences: A look through the transconceptual model of empowerment and resilience.

Resilience and empowerment are both strengths-based processes, which, while sharing commonalities, describe different goals, actions, and outcomes-one aimed at status quo; the other at status quake. The Transconceptual Model of Empowerment and Resilience (TMER; Brodsky & Cattaneo, 2013) outlines these similarities and differences in order to uncover the circumstances that lead to one or the other process. This study utilized TMER to explore resilience and empowerment in qualitative interviews of 99 first- and second-generation Latinx, Moroccan, and Albanian immigrants in the U.

Comparing post-Gulf War and post-9/11 era of service among veterans: Intimate partner violence and substance use by race and ethnicity.

Using structural equation modeling to examine intimate partner violence (IPV) among post-Gulf War and post-9/11 military families, this study considers variations of IPV from the point of the perpetrator to test the impact of demographic factors on the type of IPV most prevalent among military perpetrators. The study sample contains information about 449 male veterans from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (1994-2008): Waves I and IV in-home interviews. Study findings indicate that the perpetration of physical and sexual IPV depends on the context of veteran cohort and race/ethnicity.
