    Data Mining Teen Narratives on Reddit: Revealing Insights in Cyber Victimization Experiences
    (2024-07) Antisdel, J'Andra Lashay; Miller, Wendy Trueblood; Ellis, Rebecca Bartlett; Jones, Josette; Carter, Gregory A.; Oruche, Ukamaka
    As teens increasingly turn to the internet and social media for entertainment and social connection, they are faced with increasingly dangerous situations as technology advances and aggressors seek to harm and exploit victims online. This qualitative study used data mining and Word Adjacency Graphing (WAG), a type of computational analysis, with the aim of analyzing how teens on Reddit describe and discuss their experiences of cyber victimization. WAG modeling allowed for an examination of public, unsolicited teen narratives revealing patterns and alarming insights that were identified in six themes, including psychological impact, coping and healing, protecting yourself online, protecting yourself offline, victimization across various settings, and seeking meaning and understanding. These themes encompassed the impact of cyber victimization and its profound effects on the mental and emotional well-being of teens, emphasizing the importance of updated assessment methods and a trauma-informed approach in healthcare settings. In addition, the trauma expressed by teens highlighted the importance of recognizing cyber victimization as a serious adverse event impacting mental health. This approach would encourage open discussions, validate teens’ experiences, and focus on understanding and responding to the impact of trauma. The findings call for comprehensive strategies in healthcare to screen and assess for cyber victimization effectively, thereby supporting and empowering teens in overcoming these traumatic experiences.

    Trauma-Informed Care in the Classroom: Our Experience with a Content Warning in a Medical School Course
    (Springer, 2022-04-28) Stout, Julianne; Martin, Angelika I.; Pharmacology and Toxicology, School of Medicine
    Trauma is now recognized as a common human experience that has consequences, including adverse effects on learning outcomes. Principles of trauma-informed care include awareness of the impact of trauma and use of strategies to prevent retraumatization. While well-described in medical and mental health care, these principles have been inconsistently applied in the medical education classroom. Content warnings can be part of a trauma-informed classroom approach that notifies learners about potentially distressing topics, allows individuals to employ self-care, and seeks to resist retraumatization. This article describes our experience integrating a content warning about reproductive topics in a second-year medical school course.

    Trauma-Informed Sex Positive Approaches to Sexual Pleasure
    (Taylor & Francis, 2021-09-24) Fava, Nicole M.; Fortenberry, J. Dennis; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
    This paper develops a trauma-informed sex-positive framework as a public health, clinical, and research approach to sexual experience over the life course. The framework centers trauma-informed sex positivity as the linkage for sexual pleasure (along with sexual wellbeing and sexual health) to the social, cultural, and legal concepts of sexual justice. By providing a conceptual distinction of sexual pleasure from sexual wellbeing and sexual health, the framework improves clarity about how these constructs are related as well as provides possibilities for detailed operationalization in public health surveillance and in the new research.
