Current Projects & Grants

Funded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the adolescent dating violence study is a four year, multi-level cohort-sequential study of rural adolescent dating violence victimization and perpetration. The project’s goal is to define an ecological, multilevel model of dating violence victimization and perpetration among adolescents in the rural south as a prelude to developing a comprehensive, community-based prevention and intervention initiative and generating specific policy and program recommendations for the prevention of adolescent dating violence. Data will be collected across a four-year study period from a random sample of females and males in grades 6 through 12 (approximate age range of 12 to 19), a parent or caregiver, and school and youth serving organization personnel. Data will also be collected through an observational study of the adolescents’ neighborhoods, through third party sources of neighborhood-level data and through an observational study of adolescent couples who have been dating for a minimum of three months. Finally, data will be collected on factors characterizing the organizational setting where youth spend substantial amounts of time, including schools and youth serving organizations. Latent growth curve analysis will be used to model the data.

Clemson faculty members have been involved in the effort to transform South Carolina’s early care and education system. In particular, faculty member, Janet Marsh has been an integral part of this effort. As a result of a collective concern in the state, the South Carolina Task Force on Quality Early Care and Education was formed in January 2002. With an impressive list of participants, including state agencies (Department of Social Services; Department of Education), and under the guidance of two of the nation’s leading experts, Richard N. Brandon and Sharon Lynn Kagan, the Financing Early Care and Education for America’s Children study was conducted in South Carolina to assess the cost and impact of improving early care and education, as well as recommending a comprehensive approach to do so. The Task Force in turn released their report, A Bright Economic Future for Our Children and Our State, in spring 2004. The report presented specific recommendations for improved quality and financing. Since the release of the report, Dr. Marsh has worked with others to implement many of the recommendations.

Altering the Emergency Food Assistance System in the Lowcountry South Carolina To Enhance the Nutrition of Low-income Rural Residents

America’s emergency food assistance system has tended to distribute a high amount of unhealthy food to citizens that need help.  The Lowcountry Food Bank is like most in the United States.  Unless someone is paying attention to nutrition and actively seeking healthy food items, a lot of the food items distributed are often unhealthy, if consumed on a routine basis or in large portions.  Obesity and its related health conditions (e.g. strokes, heart disease) are very high among minorities, African Americans and Hispanics in particular, and low-income residents in the Lowcountry, as well as all across the United States.  People reliant on emergency food assistance through churches, community-based human service organizations and food banks may not have a choice about eating healthy.  They eat what they can access.  If we are to make a dent in the obesity issues that low income residents have, we must alter what is done through the emergency food assistance system in America. 

The Growing Foods Locally project seeks to change the traditional way one thinks about community food assistance and experiments with clustering small-scale farm operations with a selected group of emergency food assistance providers (i.e., called a micro-economic agricultural clustering approach) with the goal of enhancing the amount of nutritional food items available to the poor.  It also seeks to alter the food handling, preparation and consumption behaviors of emergency food assistance providers and consumers.

The project sought a partnership with ten small-scale farms in Beaufort Country that were willing to work with the Lowcountry Food Bank and 25 nonprofits that are affiliated with the Food Bank.  Farmers have committed between 0.25 to 4 acres of their land to producing fresh vegetables and some fruit for the Food Bank’s use.  The Food Bank distributes the produce to its affiliating nonprofits. These non-profits are mostly church-based food pantries, food distribution and feeding programs, but also include a group home, the area foster parents association and a regional human service agency that works with families affiliated by HIV/AIDs and other related health conditions.  The non-profits are upgrading their food safety routines and distributing the fresh produce to their consumers.  The Food Bank, the 25 non-profits and consumers are all receiving additional nutrition education and food safety training.  Farmers are receiving technical assistance to make their yields higher, their distribution more efficient, and enhancing their marketing channels.  Consumers are receiving food demonstrations, nutrition education and nutrition information resources in addition to the fresh produce and other food items. 

During the second year of the project and as yields from the small-scale farms become reliable and of consistently even quality, the Food Bank is assisting farmers in marketing and distributing their produce to commercial markets.  A marketing plan is being developed.  Thus the emergency food assistance system is also becoming a player in micro-economic development within the region.  Starting with one local restaurant in Beaufort, the project is experimenting with having some of the farmers’ produce used and identified as locally grown.  Additional retailers include the BiLo and Piggly Wiggly grocery stores.  They have agreed to market the farmers’ produce in a special display.  Farmers markets and road side stands are also part of the growing marketing channels used.

Several other partnerships are being tried to see what the success is in enhancing the amount of nutritious food that is available to low income residents.  These partnerships include working with interested schools to start gardens and having the kids commit to growing a set number of pounds of food which is then distributed through the Food Bank system.  Another partnership involves working with the local technical college’s culinary arts program to learn to prepare nutritious meals for distribution through the Kids Café program (a low income children’s before and after school feeding program run by the Food Bank and some of its affiliates). 

What we learn from this project that was successful will be spread eventually to all 10 counties that the Lowcountry Food Bank services.

Co-Principal Investigators: Robert Strickland, Director of Operations, Lowcountry Food Bank and Dr. Kathleen Robinson, Research Professor, Institute on Family and Neighborhood Life, Clemson University

This project is currently funded through grants from the USDA’s Community Food Program ($225,000), the Donnelly Foundation ($90,000), the Sisters of Charity Foundation ($202,970), and the Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation ($100,000).

ABCs of Youth Work Surveys

As part of the Cornerstones for Kids Human Services Workforce Initiative, Dr. Kathy Robinson carried out a survey of program directors and frontline workers in programs serving out-of-school children and youth in the Lowcountry.  The Lowcountry study will serve as a pilot for a planned national study that will help shape policies and practices that address recruitment, retention, and quality of youth work, and their relationship to developmental outcomes for children and youth.  These studies are intended to give the youth work profession increased national visibility and recognition, and to promote youth work as a viable career option for those interested in youth development.  Several national organizations are involved in the project, including The Forum on Youth Investment, Cornerstones for Kids, and the Annie E. Casey Foundation.

Advancing Youth Development Professional Training and BEST Network Partner

In partnership with the Academy for Educational Development’s National Training Institute for Community Youth Work, the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry and Cornerstones for Kids, IFNL organized and conducted 4 three-day training sessions for Lowcountry out of school youth workers and 1 two-day training session for Lowcountry Youth Directors.  Four youth directors were chosen to become nationally certified facilitators of the AYD trainings, and offered their first round of training in April-June 2007.  Clemson University/IFNL is now the SC state coordinator of AYD trainings.  To date, 79 youth workers and 19 youth directors have attended their full training sessions and have received AYD certifications and CEU certificates from Clemson University.  Our aim is to certify a total of 20 local trainers to build capacity of the Lowcountry to offer basic and advanced trainings in conducting out of school youth work that promotes positive youth development.

Networking the youth workers who attended the trainings begins in late 2007 was a part of the efforts to promote the profession. It also familiarized them with the standards of practice, resources available, and to build partnerships among providers.

Working with the new director of the Phyllis Wheatley Center in Greenville, we plan to bring the AYD training to the Upstate.  The first sessions will be held in October 2007.

We have also done everything qualified to become a national BEST Network Site.  BEST stands for Building Exemplary Systems for Training Youth Workers. Cities in the BEST network offer youth development training and other professional development opportunities to better equip youth program staff to serve young people from a developmental approach. Participants in the youth development trainings come from all types of youth-serving settings, including school-based after-school programs, residential juvenile justice facilities, parks & recreation centers, faith-based programs, independent out-of-school time programs, and many others.  

Building a Community Youth Development System in the Lowcountry

The term “community youth development system” was coined by the Ford Foundation to refer to the development of a coordinated decision making system within a geographic area that effectively identifies and coordinates resources, promotes effective practices, builds public awareness of the importance of such opportunities for family, child and youth development, monitors quality, secures sustainable funding, engages all sector leaders in securing a sustainable out-of-school learning system which compliments the learning done in the schools.

In the Lowcountry, this initiative is called the Schools Out Lowcountry (SOL) initiative.  The overarching goals of SOL is to create a high quality, effective community youth development system in Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton, and Jasper Counties that 1) is supported and championed by the local community residents and leaders, 2) provides high quality out-of-school programs for children and youth, 3) makes available professional development opportunities to youth workers, 4) offers technical assistance to help out-of-school agencies operate effective programs, and 5) positively affects the development of every school-aged child and youth participating in out-of-school programs.  Funding for this effort currently comes from the Hilton Head Island Foundation, The Community Foundation of the Lowcountry, and Cornerstones for Kids. It was started in 2002 and will go until at least 2010, at which time leaders hope sustained capacity will have been built.

Done in cooperation with the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry’s (CFL) School’s Out Lowcountry Initiative, Dr. Robinson is working with Lowcountry youth work agencies to help build the region’s capacity to develop out of school constructive activities for school-aged children and youth in the Lowcountry, and build and sustain more opportunities for children and youth in all counties.  To date, an action plan has been developed, a Community Champions network formed for each county, a sample of children and youth in two counties were surveyed to determine their current use of out of school activities, a survey of all known out of school program agencies (directors and frontline youth workers) was done.  An evaluation design of the multi-year initiative was implemented.  The first phase of a professional development plan was implemented.  Resources were secured to begin the professional development program and fund small grants to 10 agencies.  Technical assistance over the years will include evaluation of outcomes, development of funding, social marketing of benefits, and equipping FBOs and CBOs to develop programs based on best practice.

This initiative is considered unique nationally because of the known difficulties in building such capacity in very rural, low-resourced, isolated situations.  In addition, most best practices reported in the literature relative to after school and out of school youth development programs occur in urban settings that have a great deal more connectivity, funding attention, and resources from which to draw.  Few out of school programs exist for children and youth in these counties currently.  SOL was recently featured nationally in the Human Services Workforce Initiative meetings because of its rural challenge and differences to what is known about systems development in urban settings (see below.)  It was also featured in the April Issue of the NexGen newsletter, published by the Forum on Youth Investment.

A grant from the U.S. Administration for Children and Families provides sub-awards and technical assistance to faith- and community-based organizations in South Carolina. The Compassion project includes technical assistance to the state in the form of informative workshops, funding resources, one-on-one skills training, distance learning events, and web resources.

Grants under the federal Capital Compassion Fund have been received three times by IFNL (2002, 2005, and 2007). During the first five years (2002-2007) of the South Carolina Rural Communities Compassion Project, $1,500,000 was awarded to 121 rural faith- and community-based groups across the state. In the next phase of the project (2007-2010), an additional $720,000 will be awarded to approximately 36 organizations.

During the current phase, IFNL is partnering with The Spartanburg County Foundation to distribute sub-awards.

The purpose of this study was to investigate contextual factors that influence perceptions and development of partnership trust in collaborative partnerships pursuing reducing health disparities in U.S. Latino communities. We conducted focus groups and qualitative key informant interviews with stakeholders. Determinants of partnership trust among stakeholders, including organizational, socio-economic, and cultural determinants were identified. Study findings are guiding development of a culturally and linguistically relevant quantitative instrument to measure partnership trust in the context of CBPR with minority communities. This project was supported by the South Carolina Clinical & Translational Research (SCTR) Institute, with an academic home at the Medical University of South Carolina, through NIH - NCATS Grant Number UL1 TR001450.

IFNL has developed a long term relationship with the Chesterfield County Coordinating Council (CCCC), a consortium of more than 60 organizations serving the needs of community residents.  Three projects over the last six years have resulted from this collaboration.

Rural Substance Abuse/Mental Health Treatment Planning Project

The purpose of this two year project was to assess existing substance abuse and mental health treatment services in Chesterfield County and identify service gaps and barriers to services for County residents with substance abuse or mental health treatment needs.  This information was used to develop a strategic plan to improve substance abuse and mental health treatment services in the County.  The assessment involved a systematic review of current services and interviews with agency managers, interviews with consumers, and focus groups of professional providers.

Final Report

Stop the Violence

Stop the Violence was a two-year initiative to identify the prevalence and incidence of relationship violence against girls and young women ages 12 to 17 in Chesterfield County; the needs and resources relative to the problem; and to plan and implement an evidence-based intervention to reduce rates of relationship violence against the target population.

A planning committee of project staff, community service providers, young women ages 12 to 17, and community representatives planned a survey of middle- and high-school students, collected community planning and social agency data, reviewed dating violence prevention programs, and developed a social marketing campaign to increase awareness of dating and other relationship violence among adolescents and the general community.  The dating violence program review led to the adoption of Safe Dates, a dating violence prevention curriculum, that was implemented in each middle- and high-school in the County.

Final Report

Drug Free Chesterfield

Drug Free Chesterfield is a five-year initiative to reduce substance use among adolescents and young adults through the development of a broad-based community coalition that would assume responsibility for planning, implementing, and monitoring a variety of program activities to strengthen the capacity of communities to support young people and their families.  The project is now in its fourth year and has a well-developed youth development coalition acting on a comprehensive strategic plan developed from a comprehensive, community-wide needs and resources assessment.  The coalition is working to strengthen the capacity of youth serving organizations across the County and has implemented a community awareness campaign.

Student survey

Initiated as a component of the Stop the Violence project and continuing as part of Drug Free Chesterfield, the Student Survey gauges middle and high school students’ attitudes toward family and dating violence; experience of violence in theirs’ and their friends’ lives; views of the acceptability of violent behaviors in dating and family relationships; views on more general aspects of dating relationships; substance use; and perceptions of the extent of and community response to relationship violence in the community.

The survey began in 2003 as part of a broader effort to examine a range of factors implicated in dating and family violence and included some questions regarding general risk behaviors.  For the 2006-2007 school year, the survey was revised to include new items related to substance use and the student’s own and perceived parental attitudes toward substance use.  For some substance use factors, then, three years of data are available while other factors are reported across six years.  Data were not collected in 2010 but the survey was revised again for 2011 by including more detailed items related to dating violence, including sexual violence in dating relationships. These data have just been collected and a report across seven years of data collection will be available shortly.

Survey Findings from 2003-2009

All families face difficult situations from time to time. With disturbing frequency, families face  challenges such as poverty, separation and divorce, illness, or incarceration of a family member.  Even routine hassles of daily living can prove to be the “last straw” when parents face chronic stressors or when everyday challenges occur against a background of exceptional need.

In such circumstances, the consequences for children are often dependent on the support the family receives in the form of emotional support, information, or direct assistance. Sometimes needed assistance may be in the form of person-power providing child care or home repairs. At other times, it is material when help is given to pay an overdue bill. But when families lack such resources, difficult situations can quickly turn into crisis situations in which parents’ ability to meet basic needs is compromised, resulting in the potential for decreased safety for their children.

Safe Families, an outgrowth of Strong Communities, seeks to build a network of volunteers willing to open their hearts, appointment books, checkbooks, and sometimes their homes to children and parents in need of care and shelter. To enlist such volunteers and provide them with support, Strong Communities strives to engage partner organizations across the community to participate in Safe Families.

Individual and family volunteers are needed to provide mentoring, occasional child care, material assistance, help with problem solving, financial education and counseling, and temporary care and shelter.

Organizations can support Safe Families by providing leadership in mobilizing communities to give greater support to families, enlisting individuals and groups to offer time and resources to ensure children’s well being, supporting volunteers who accept such responsibilities, and planning and advocacy to ensure that help is available to all families with young children.

Strong Communities is the first large-scale initiative to address child abuse and neglect through research- and community-based prevention and intervention concepts. Strong Communities works to develop an expectation that people will watch out for each other and for each other’s children in whatever environment they find themselves.

Strong Communities builds on the research-based premise that, to be effective, child protection must become a part of the institutions of everyday life in the neighborhoods where children, live, study and play. Thus, the success of Strong Communities is due, in part, to its relationships with a diverse group of partners in southern Greenville County and Anderson School District 1 in Anderson County.

Supported initially by a grant from The Duke Endowment, Strong Communities is led by Dr. Gary Melton, director of the Institute on Family and Neighborhood Life. He was the lead author of the 1993 report of the US Advisory Board on Child Abuse and Neglect that outlined a new neighborhood-based child protection strategy.

Experience in Strong Communities shows that desired “neighborliness” can most easily be applied in the settings found in almost all communities, including schools, civic groups, religious organizations, businesses, health care settings, neighborhood associations, public safety and social service agencies.

For example, data from Strong Communities reveals that the effort has brought together religious groups that differ in theology, race, and size around the common desire to keep kids safe. Partners in the health care system have proven to be a valuable avenue to young families. Strong Communities findings show that health centers have played a critical role in reaching families with appropriate resources and supports. Links with schools provided parent engagement and leadership opportunities encouraging an increased sense of efficacy that tends to increase child well-being.

The April-June 2008 issue of Family & Community Health: The Journal of Health Promotion and Maintenance featured research findings from Strong Communities almost six years after the launch of the initiative.  Authors of the eight articles in the “Strong Communities as Safe Havens for Children”  issue address aspects of the initiative and related research findings including the role of faith in community intervention, volunteer characteristics and efficacy, and the effective use of special events in fostering support for families and protection of children. 

Thousands of volunteers and hundreds of organizations have already participated in Strong Communities activities. Volunteers in grassroots organizations continue to sustain and expand  material and social supports to young families.

Café Cultural, an expanding outreach to Latino families organized by Strong Communities, is based at the Center for Community Services in Simpsonville in southern Greenville County. Educational, medical, and recreational opportunities are offered on a regular basis to support immigrant families. 

Researchers with Strong Communities conclude that, not only are community efforts to protect children effective, but collective efforts to protect children enliven the communities in which they are undertaken.

‘Noticing’ and ‘Caring’: How to Prevent Child Abuse and Neglect, presented by Gary Melton, served as the opening keynote address at the Asia-Pacific Conference on Child Abuse and Neglect held in Perth, Australia in October 2009. The presentation updates research germane to Strong Communities and describes how personal experiences became integrated into the strategies used in Strong Communities and, to some extent, the Institute as a whole.
