Article Abstract

Reflexivity can be an important tool for building relationships for participatory research. The purpose of this article was to explore key indicators of a developing participatory action research partnership between an occupational therapy education program and a developmental disability agency. Agency staff leaders and occupational therapy faculty participated in a contextual and interpersonal reflexivity process during participatory action research. Through this process, researchers recognized similar values between their organizations. They also reflected on the evolving mutual benefit of the partnership over time. The relationship grew by including each other in activities important to their organizations. Increasing responsibilities, including the process of agency staff becoming university-recognized researchers, facilitated becoming researchers together. Collaborative, structured reflexivity can illuminate meaning and characteristics of a developing participatory action research partnership. The process and findings can inform future partnerships, especially for entry-level occupational therapy education programs.

Over the last decade, a range of research has demonstrated the detrimental impacts of policies criminalizing migration ("crimmigration") on Latinx mental health. In this study, we seek to examine youth perspectives on how crimmigration policies affect Latinx adolescents' connections to Latinx identity, culture, and communities and the implications for Latinx youth mental health. We explored how immigration enforcement policies affect Latinx youths' mental health using photovoice with ten youth in a high-deportation county in Atlanta in 2022.
