What are barriers to service access in the summer?<\/li>\n<li>Where do youth who receive mental health services in the summer access those services and what is the nature of services provided?<\/li>\n<li>To what extent is summer service use associated with specific youth social and emotional profiles?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ioc\/research\/seedgrants\/research-in-progress\/\"><em>View more projects funded through our Early Stage Urban Research Awards<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Principal Investigators Associate Professor Jennifer Greif Green in collaboration with Assistant Professor Elizabeth Bettini, Professor Donna Pincus and Ph.D. candidate Rachel Oblath will\u00a0investigate mental health service access for urban youth during the three summer months when school is not in session.\u00a0The aim of this research is to examine whether and where urban youth receive mental [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10654,"featured_media":20137,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[18],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ioc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4984"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ioc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ioc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ioc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10654"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ioc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4984"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ioc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4984\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20259,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ioc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4984\/revisions\/20259"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ioc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20137"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ioc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4984"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ioc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4984"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ioc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4984"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
