Among students receiving behavioral health and special education services, racial/ethnic minority students are consistently overrepresented in settings separate from general classrooms. Once separated, many young people struggle to improve academically and face significant difficulty upon trying to return to a general education setting. Given the complex, ongoing, and multifaceted nature of this challenge, racial/ethnic disproportionality can be identified as a "wicked problem," for which solutions are not easily identified. Here, we describe our community-engaged research efforts, eliciting perspectives from relevant partners in an ongoing dialogue, to better integrate diverse stakeholders' perspectives when attempting to address such disparities. We conducted focus groups and qualitative interviews with members of three stakeholder groups: community-serving organizations, individuals with lived experience of behavioral health conditions, and state-level policymakers, with a shared interest in addressing racial and ethnic disparities. Participant responses illustrated the "wickedness" of this problem and highlighted the need for additional supports for students, families, and school personnel, increased collaboration across relevant systems and agencies, and reduced barriers related to funding. Overall, this methodology bridged differing perspectives to develop, in concert with our partners, a shared language of the problem and a core set of issues to consider when seeking to effect change.

收集各种观点来解决“邪恶的问题”:教育安置中的种族/族裔比例失调。

在接受行为健康和特殊教育服务的学生中,种族/少数民族学生在与普通教室分开的环境中人数过多。一旦分居,许多年轻人将努力提高学业,并在尝试回到普通教育环境时面临巨大困难。考虑到这一挑战的复杂性,持续性和多面性,种族/族裔的不成比例可以被认为是一个“邪恶的问题”,很难解决。在这里,我们描述了我们社区参与的研究工作,在正在进行的对话中从相关合作伙伴那里获取了观点,以便在尝试解决此类差异时更好地整合不同利益相关者的观点。我们与三个利益相关者团体的成员进行了焦点小组和定性访谈:社区服务组织,具有行为健康状况经验的个人以及州级决策者,他们共同致力于解决种族和族裔差异。与会者的回答说明了该问题的“弊端”,并强调需要为学生,家庭和学校人员提供更多支持,需要加强相关系统和机构之间的协作,并减少与资金有关的障碍。总体而言,这种方法弥合了不同的观点,以便与我们的合作伙伴共同开发问题的共同语言,并寻求一系列影响变革的核心问题。对行为健康状况有丰富经验的个人,以及州级政策制定者,在解决种族和族裔差异方面有着共同的兴趣。与会者的回答说明了该问题的“弊端”,并强调需要为学生,家庭和学校人员提供更多支持,需要加强相关系统和机构之间的协作,并减少与资金有关的障碍。总体而言,这种方法弥合了不同的观点,以便与我们的合作伙伴共同开发问题的共同语言,并寻求一系列影响变革的核心问题。对行为健康状况有丰富经验的个人,以及州级政策制定者,在解决种族和族裔差异方面有着共同的兴趣。与会者的回答说明了该问题的“弊端”,并强调需要为学生,家庭和学校人员提供更多支持,需要加强相关系统和机构之间的协作,并减少与资金有关的障碍。总体而言,这种方法弥合了不同的观点,以便与我们的合作伙伴共同开发问题的共同语言,并寻求一系列影响变革的核心问题。解决这一问题,并强调需要为学生,家庭和学校人员提供更多支持,需要在相关系统和机构之间加强协作,并减少与资金相关的障碍。总体而言,这种方法弥合了不同的观点,以便与我们的合作伙伴共同开发问题的共同语言,并寻求一系列影响变革的核心问题。解决这一问题,并强调需要为学生,家庭和学校人员提供更多支持,需要在相关系统和机构之间加强协作,并减少与资金相关的障碍。总体而言,这种方法弥合了不同的观点,以便与我们的合作伙伴共同开发问题的共同语言,并寻求一系列影响变革的核心问题。
