["TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView. ", "\nAbstract\nCurrent trends encouraging a move away from monolingual teaching have sparked a renewed interest in the role of translation in language instruction. Yet, there are few theoretically and empirically grounded proposals regarding specific uses of translation in the language classroom. This study argues for the potential of translation in promoting learners' metalinguistic awareness, through metalinguistic talk. Based on the conceptualization of translation as an act of plurilingual mediation, we identify three features of translation that make it particularly suited for this purpose: (i) the separation of form and meaning, (ii) the comparison of linguistic resources across languages and (iii) the communicative objective of translating. We propose an operationalization of the identified features and explore it empirically using data from a project involving 64 young learners of English in Norway (age 8–10) who were audio‐recorded during collaborative translation tasks. Through qualitative analysis of interactions, we investigate ways in which the identified features are manifested in peer interactions. The findings indicate that translation has the potential to generate rich metatalk, making it an effective means for promoting metalinguistic awareness in additional language learning.\n"]

["TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView. ", "\nAbstract\nThis paper aims to position narrative research within the realm of language education and examine its methodological application in TESOL Quarterly publications. I will first discuss the earlier developments stemming from life history research before focusing on the key conceptual principles explored in prior studies within language education. Two publications from TESOL Quarterly—by Tsui (2007) and Séguis et al. (2024)—will illustrate the methodological advancements over two decades, transitioning from a single qualitative case study (Tsui, 2007) to a mixed‐methods design (Séguis et al., 2024). These two works also emphasize the growing need for rigorous research that strengthens ethical considerations and representation, and enhances methodological designs to effectively accommodate the collection and analysis of multimodal data. The paper concludes with a call for more narrative research that embraces a longitudinal and inclusive approach to data collection, as well as greater transparency in analytical methods and reporting.\n"]

["Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView. ", "\nABSTRACT\nDigital technology has facilitated the rise of virtual corporate social responsibility (CSR) co‐creation models. However, there is still a lack of in‐depth discussion on how companies design virtual CSR activities to enhance consumers' willingness to participate. Based on cognitive coherence theory and signal theory, this study examines the effects of the interaction path (structural path vs. experiential path) and fit type (functional fit vs. image fit) of virtual CSR on consumer engagement. The study also explores the mediating role of processing fluency and the moderating role of cognitive style. Three experiments (N = 442) were conducted to test the hypotheses. First, the interaction between interaction path and CSR fit type significantly affected engagement intentions. Specifically, functional fit facilitated consumers' engagement in the virtual CSR co‐creation of structured paths, whereas image fit enhanced consumers' engagement in experiential path activities. Second, processing fluency mediated this mechanism of action. Third, cognitive style moderated this effect, with intuitive consumers being more sensitive to the combination of experiential path and image fit, and analytical consumers being more influenced by structural path and functional fit. This study provides practical insights for designing CSR campaigns that match consumer perceptions.\n"]

", "\nABSTRACT\nThe aim of this study was to delve into the nuanced and subjective experiences of married couples at various family life cycles regarding relational sacrifices within the cultural landscape of Türkiye. To accomplish this, we conducted a qualitative study with 16 Turkish married couples, addressing three research questions: “How do married individuals perceive their and their spouses' relational sacrifices?”, “What are the sacrifice behaviors and motives of married couples?” and “What are the consequences of relational sacrifices for spouses and their marriage?” We conducted a thematic analysis using a codebook approach with MAXQDA. We identified seven themes: Assigning meaning to sacrifice, engaging in sacrifices across life domains, reflecting on the underlying motives for sacrifices, being seen or unseen in sacrifices, experiencing the benefits of sacrifices, experiencing the costs of sacrifices, and inheriting cultural and familial sacrifices. We concluded that personal attributions, inherited family values, societal norms, and cultural characteristics shape individuals' understanding and practice of relational sacrifices. We also highlighted that some sacrifices may go unrecognized and can be perceived as burdensome despite their benefits. This study contributes to the understanding of relationships in a non‐WEIRD context, offering a more inclusive and culturally informed perspective on relational sacrifices.\n\nÖZET\nBu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'nin kültürel bağlamında farklı aile yaşam dönemlerindeki evli çiftlerin ilişkisel fedakarlıklara ilişkin föznel deneyimlerini derinlemesine araştırmaktır. Bu amaçla, 16 evli çiftle nitel bir çalışma yürütülmüş ve üç araştırma sorusuna yanıt aranmıştır: “Evli bireyler kendilerinin ve eşlerinin ilişkisel fedakarlıklarını nasıl algılamaktadır?”; “Evli çiftlerin fedakarlık davranışları ve motivasyonları nelerdir?” ve “İlişkisel fedakarlıkların eşler ve evlilikleri için sonuçları nelerdir?” Veriler, MAXQDA programı kullanılarak kod kitabı yaklaşımına dayalı tematik analiz yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmacılar 7 tema ortaya çıkarmıştır: fedakarlığa anlam atfetmek, yaşamın farklı alanlarında fedakarlık yapmak, fedakarlığın altında yatan motivasyonları sorgulamak, fedakarlıkta görülme ve görülmeme deneyimi, fedakarlıkların faydalarını deneyimlemek, fedakarlıkların zararlarını deneyimlemek, kültürel ve ailesel fedakarlıkların aktarımı. Araştırma bulgularına dayalı olarak kişisel atıfların, miras alınan aile değerlerinin, toplumsal normların ve kültürel özelliklerin, bireylerin ilişkisel fedakarlıkları anlama ve uygulama biçimlerini şekillendirdiği sonucuna varılmıştır. Ayrıca, bazı fedakarlıkların fark edilmediği ve sağladığı faydalara rağmen yük olarak algılanabildiği görülmüştür. Bu çalışma, Batı merkezli araştırma örneklemlerinin dışında kalan bir bağlamda ilişkileri anlamaya katkı sunarak ilişkisel fedakarlıklara dair daha kapsayıcı ve kültürel bir bakış açısı sağlamıştır.\n"]

["Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView. ", "\nABSTRACT\nDespite the growing use of virtual endorsers in emotional advertising, it remains unclear whether they can convey emotions as effectively as human endorsers. In commercial advertising, positive emotional ads are the most prevalent. This study investigates the comparative effectiveness of virtual and human endorsers in delivering positive emotions in digital advertising. Leveraging field data analysis powered by a large language model and five controlled experiments, our findings reveal that human endorsers outperform virtual endorsers in conveying abstract emotions such as hope and gratitude. However, there is no significant difference between the two in conveying concrete emotions such as happiness and excitement. Emotional contagion and perceived expectation violation emerge as parallel mediators, while perceived self‐endorser attitude similarity mitigates the disadvantage of virtual endorsers in expressing abstract emotions. These findings advance understanding of the distinct emotional dynamics between virtual and human endorsers in emotional marketing and provide actionable insights for marketers.\n"]

{"p"=>"This paper examines the involvement process of youth in financial cybercrime, focusing on preexisting ties and offender convergence settings. Based on interviews with 25 experts, and analysis of five criminal cases, we find that preexisting offline ties remain the most crucial, especially for core group members and money mules. This persistence is likely because such ties foster trust, reducing perceived risks in co-offending. At the same time, virtual offender convergence settings—particularly social media platforms like Telegram groups—appear to be gaining significance. These virtual settings may lower the barrier to entry for financial cybercrime, enabling individuals with limited cybercrime knowledge to engage in illicit activities. In the end, this development may expand the offender pool, enabling more people to enter the cybercriminal world, emphasizing the need for interventions. We discuss theoretical implications, including the need to reconsider how offender convergence settings are conceptualized in digital contexts, and practical strategies to disrupt youth involvement in financial cybercrime."}

{"p"=>"Despite the considerable interest, there is little evidence on the suitability of beneficial ownership data for systematic corruption risk assessment. This paper aims to validate common beneficial ownership risk indicators for proxying public procurement corruption. By implication, it offers practical insights for research, policy, and investigations. It also generates hypotheses regarding the impact of beneficial ownership registers on the organisation of financial crime. We match administrative data of 8 million government contracts with 11 million companies’ beneficial ownership records in Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, Slovakia, Ukraine, and the UK. We estimate fixed effects regressions tailored to capture non-linear relationships between company risk indicators of beneficial ownership and corruption risk indicators of public procurement. Correlations among two sets of differently constructed, yet conceptually related risk factors are interpreted as evidence for measurement validity. We find that BO-based risk indicators capturing unusual and outlier BO features - high company frequency of BO, frequent information change, outlier BO age, and no BO data - all perform in line with expected results. However, BO-based risk indicators relating to BO countries, such as sanctioned jurisdictions, largely fail to relate to public procurement corruption risks in line with expectations. Finally, BO-based risk indicators, which have already been widely validated in the literature using different data sources - company age and political connections - also turn out to be valid. Our findings lend support to the systematic use of beneficial ownership-based risk indicators in research, policy, and investigations. Our new risk assessment tools enable investigators to generate new investigative leads and policymakers to track the scale of likely corrupt transactions in public procurement."}

We extracted 14 strategic marketing factors and classified them into four categories based on Drucker's strategic marketing theory: competitiveness, market, environment, and business factors. Using a meta‐analysis, we estimated the magnitude of the effect sizes between these factors and the success of health tourism and investigated the moderating effects of the developmental status of the host country on these relationships. The study finds that all 14 strategic marketing factors are significantly associated with the success of health tourism. While most strategy factors exhibit a stronger relationship with the success of health tourism for developing countries, the relationship between competitive pricing and the success of health tourism is stronger for developed nations. The theoretical and practical implications of the results are discussed.\n"]

However, individuals in Chinese society lack access to recent improvements in this field of knowledge. Accordingly, this study explores the impact of various psychological factors, such as mental workload, decision‐making process, behavioral intention, and emotional intelligence on innovation in PE in China using cross‐sectional data of general population. The findings show that mental workload, the decision‐making process, and emotional intelligence significantly affect behavioral intention and innovation in PE, while behavioral intention also significantly influences innovation in PE. Furthermore, the results show that behavioral intention significantly mediates the relationship between the decision‐making process and innovation, as well as between emotional intelligence and innovation in physical education. Therefore, this research offers substantial theoretical and practical implications by guiding educators and policymakers to design emotionally intelligent, decision‐oriented physical education programs that foster innovation in China.\n"]

["Health Expectations, Volume 29, Issue 3, June 2026.

This usually leads to condition prioritisation, where one condition is prioritised over the other. Considering that diabetes and hypertension are closely linked, prioritising medication for one condition over the other can have serious health implications. This study aimed to explore condition prioritisation in people with coexisting diabetes and hypertension, and its impact on medication adherence.\n\n\nMethods\nA qualitative study was conducted with adults on medications to manage coexisting diabetes and hypertension, residing in Australia. Thirty participants were asked to indicate the condition they considered more important to manage and discuss their prioritisation. Thematic analysis was used to identify key factors influencing condition prioritisation. The Adherence to Refills and Medication Scale questionnaire was used to assess medication adherence for each condition.\n\n\nResults\nMedication adherence scores varied in most cases, with diabetes and hypertension scores ranging from 12 to 21 and 12 to 26, respectively. Participants who prioritised one condition over the other demonstrated better medication adherence for the condition they perceived as more important. The key themes influencing disease prioritisation emerged primarily as patient‐related and condition‐related factors. Most participants prioritised diabetes due to its immediate perceived risks, fear of complications and previous experience with the condition.\n\n\nConclusion\nParticipants' perceptions of a condition and observed effects of the condition influenced condition prioritisation. This in turn influenced medication adherence, as participants were more vigilant in managing the condition they prioritised. These findings emphasise the need for tailored interventions that address the challenges of managing multiple conditions and medications.\n\n\nPatient or Public Contribution\nPeople living with diabetes and hypertension took part as study participants but were not involved in the design, analysis, or dissemination stages of this research.

We aimed to evaluate retinal thickness changes after oral NMN administration according to the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) grid.\n\n\nMethods\nBefore and 24 weeks after the study initiated, 240 × 240 mm macular cube scan optical coherence tomography images were obtained from male patients with type 2 diabetes aged ≥ 65 years with physical frailty; changes in the automatically measured mean retinal thickness within the 9 ETDRS grid regions were compared between groups. Participants were randomly assigned to receive 250 mg/day NMN or placebo orally for 24 weeks. Retinal thickness changes at 24 weeks were compared between groups.\n\n\nResults\nEach group included 14 eyes of 7 patients; 8 eyes had ocular disease. Best‐corrected visual acuity did not change significantly between baseline and 24 weeks for both groups. In the temporal subretinal field of the outer circle, the retinal thickness change from baseline to 24 weeks differed significantly between the NMN and placebo groups (+1.14 ± 2.85 μm and −2.77 ± 3.30 μm, respectively; p = 0.006). Among patients without ocular disease, the NMN group demonstrated a trend toward suppressed reduction in retinal thickness in the temporal region (+0.75 ± 3.20 μm and −2.45 ± 3.33 μm in the NMN and placebo groups, respectively; p = 0.07). Systematic and ophthalmic adverse events were not observed in the NMN group.\n\n\nConclusions\nThe oral NMN administration was safe both systemically and locally in the eyes. Based on the retinal thickness results, NMN may be efficacious in mitigating age‐related alterations in the retina.\n\n"]

["Transactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 3, May 2026. ", "\nABSTRACT\nLocation‐fixed monitoring sensor networks, which are crucial for geospatial data acquisition and prediction, face significant challenges including the underutilization of data, inadequate modeling of complex spatio‐temporal couplings, and insufficient expression of relationships among heterogeneous sensors. To address these issues, this study shifts the methodological focus from purely algorithmic architectural design to multi‐dimensional spatio‐temporal feature engineering. This study proposes a novel feature representation framework tailored for sensor heterogeneity. At the node level, it extracts multi‐scale temporal dynamics (i.e., trend and seasonality) via STL decomposition. At the edge level, it innovatively constructs a fused graph topology by quantifying physical geographic distance, type compatibility, and historical data‐driven correlations. Furthermore, to effectively utilize these extracted features, the GCN‐Transformer based Spatial–Temporal Data Prediction (GT‐STDP) method is proposed. It integrates Graph Convolutional Networks for spatial dependency learning and a Transformer architecture for long‐range temporal dynamics modeling. Validated using 858,455 monitoring records from the Shanxi Reservoir dam, GT‐STDP significantly outperforms state‐of‐the‐art time‐series models, achieving a prediction accuracy with an R2 of 0.76 under the full feature configuration. Furthermore, through spatio‐temporal feature representation effectiveness analysis, the optimal feature combination further elevates the R2 to 0.79. Moreover, the model exhibits strong robustness, maintaining an R2 of 0.46 even with six consecutive days of missing data, thereby providing a highly reliable analytical framework for infrastructure safety monitoring.\n"]

["Transactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 3, May 2026.

To address this, we propose an automated, “survey‐free” analytical paradigm integrating a domain‐aligned Large Language Model framework with explainable machine learning. Using Baidu Street View imagery from Xihu (Hangzhou, China), our methodology employs a Vision Encoder and a trainable Connector to map visual features into a fine‐tuned Llama3 model, generating multidimensional perception assessments. Validated against expert ground‐truth descriptions, these qualitative narratives are seamlessly structured into quantifiable sentiment metrics via a comprehensive Natural Language Processing pipeline. Subsequent explainable modeling uncovers complex, nonlinear threshold dynamics and interactive dependencies between physical visual elements and perception scores. The analysis systematically reveals that the psychological impacts of individual street components are strictly governed by their spatial configurations and structural tipping points. Ultimately, this research demonstrates that combining multimodal AI with explainable algorithms provides a highly scalable and reproducible alternative to traditional surveys. By translating abstract urban observations into precise, data‐driven physical design guidelines, this framework empowers urban planners to execute targeted and effective street renewal strategies.\n"]

["Transactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 3, May 2026. ", "\nABSTRACT\nThis study investigates the dynamic changes in land subsidence in Zhengzhou—a densely populated city in the North China Plain severely affected by this phenomenon—following the extreme precipitation event of July 20, 2021. An innovative methodology was developed, combining slope units and road network segmentation to partition evaluation units (EUs), thus more accurately capturing the complexity of terrain and human activity impacts. SBAS‐InSAR and Sentinel‐1A data were used to calculate cumulative land subsidence between 2020 and 2022. Building on this, a novel analytical framework was proposed, integrating the Deep Forest algorithm with SHapley Additive ExPlanations to assess the dynamic influence of various driving factors on maximum monthly subsidence for each EU, before and after the extreme precipitation event. The results indicate that land cover, temperature, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), and groundwater depth are critical factors affecting land subsidence in Zhengzhou. In the monthly models, the relative importance of NDVI and temperature was higher during the period associated with the July 2021 extreme precipitation event than during the corresponding periods in the reference years. Furthermore, a complex nonlinear relationship between groundwater depth and land subsidence was observed. This data‐driven approach effectively elucidates the dynamic changes in subsidence and its underlying drivers, while highlighting the need for cautious interpretation of post‐event causality and uncertainty.\n"]

["International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView. ", "\nAbstract\nThis article outlines possibilities for counter configurations of data‐based urbanisms, whereby data practices, rather than reproducing logics of urban entrepreneurialism and smart‐city governance, are made from within urban peripheral territories. Drawing on participatory action research with a data activism collective in the favela of Maré, Rio de Janeiro, we explore how datafication as an epistemic practice is reappropriated as an embodied and territorially situated practice of political agency. Mobilizing Latin American debates on body‐territory, and in dialogue with subaltern urbanism, we develop the notion of subaltern data—a grounded data that gains political force through the entanglement of bodily markers, lived experience and territorial knowledge. We show that counter practices of urban datafication, and their political effects, emerge through contingent, ambivalent and negotiated encounters with both state institutions and territorialized publics. Subaltern datafication, operating both as an instrument for activism and a situated epistemological frame, is aimed at producing new visibilities of the urban periphery through the coming together of the subaltern body and data knowledge infrastructures. Yet, in embracing the epistemic language of the hegemon, subaltern data operates within, rather than transcends, the epistemological limits of subalternity; a tactic that does not resolve but negotiates the subaltern condition.\n"]

["Geographical Analysis, Volume 58, Issue 3, July 2026.

Represented by the gravity model and the radiation model, established analytical models for mobility phenomena are often discovered by analogy to physical processes. Such discoveries can be challenging and rely on intuition, while the potential of emerging social observation data in model discovery is largely unexploited. Here, we propose a systematic approach that leverages symbolic regression to automatically discover interpretable models from human mobility data. Our approach finds several well‐known formulas, such as the distance decay effect and classical gravity models, as well as previously unknown ones, such as an exponential‐power‐law decay that can be explained by the maximum entropy principle. By relaxing the constraints on the complexity of model expressions, we further show how key variables of human mobility are progressively incorporated into the model, making this framework a powerful tool for revealing the underlying mathematical structures of complex social phenomena directly from observational data.\n"]

["Child &Family Social Work, EarlyView.

Drawing on data from a sample of 1192 adolescents (Mage = 16.68, SDage = 0.66; 52.9% males), the analyses were conducted using LPA and the Hayes PROCESS macro (Models 4 and 59). LPA revealed four distinct family functioning profiles: low family functioning profile (23.7%), moderate family functioning profile (46.3%), high family functioning profile (20.5%) and low family functioning–high problem‐solving profile (9.4%). Notably, negative family functioning was significantly associated with higher levels of aggressive behaviour. Mediation analysis showed that peer relationship problems and self‐control mediated the relationship between family functioning and aggressive behaviour in the moderate and high family functioning profiles. Moderation analysis further revealed that males were more vulnerable to aggression resulting from peer problems, with self‐control offering stronger protection than in females. Gender also significantly moderated the indirect paths from the moderate and low family functioning–high problem‐solving groups to aggression through peer problems, significant only in males. These findings highlight the distinct impacts of different family functioning profiles on adolescent aggression, offering new insights and empirical support for family‐based interventions and adolescent behaviour programmes.\n"]

Drawing on Foucault's framework, we examine how this informal practice operates through three mechanisms: temporal discipline that leverages medical urgency for compliance, territorial fragmentation that binds biological citizenship to local jurisdictions, and the paradox of anti‐commodification that generates quasi‐markets despite legal prohibitions on blood selling. The 2018 ban on mutual‐aid donation eliminated legal mobilization pathways while institutional pressures persisted, transforming certificate requirements from biological exchange into administrative conditioning. We argue that the system's power lies precisely in the gap between formal voluntariness and practical compulsion—a space where biopower operates below legal accountability while extracting biological resources and cultivating civic complicity. This analysis illuminates how contemporary governance increasingly functions through administrative mechanisms that transform healthcare access from universal right into contribution‐contingent privilege.\n"]

["Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView. ", "\nABSTRACT\nGlobally, flood risk is increasing as climate change progresses. Contemporary flood risk management practice often utilises hydrodynamic modelling (for hazard risk assessments), social vulnerability assessments, and risk communications in silo, which fragments evidence‐based decision‐making for effective flood risk management. We hence develop a multilevel flood risk governance framework that integrates flood Hazard modelling (H$$ H $$), social Vulnerability assessments (V$$ V $$) and risk Communication (C$$ C $$) through three cores, three pairwise interfaces, and a central decision‐ready space. We provide a conceptual illustration of how the framework can be operationalised before discussing the wider theoretical and practical implications of it in terms of its ability to better guide flood risk governance. Our conceptual framework treats C$$ C $$ as coequal with H$$ H $$ and V$$ V $$ and specifies information flows between them to support more timely, accountable decisions for flood risk governance. Our illustration outlines a minimal‐data workflow based on open‐access data sources and transparent assumptions, showing how uncertainty at different stages can be presented and acted upon in resource and capacity‐constrained environments.\n"]

CA's distinctive contribution to TESOL lies in its capacity to explicate the social foundations of language learning and teaching through empirically grounded, participant‐oriented analysis of interactions that span diverse learning ecologies, with increasing attention to emergent digital and multimodal environments.\n"]

["TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView. ", "\nAbstract\nAlthough artificial intelligence (AI) technology offers a promising approach to mitigate biases in listener judgments, the impact of different first language (L1) accents on AI understanding has not been widely investigated. Therefore, the current study examined (a) the presence of bias in AI intelligibility of L2‐accented speech and (b) differences in intelligibility as assessed by human experts and AI. Three data sets were used in this study: Data set 1 (n = 12) with L2 speakers of Chinese, Indian, Spanish, and South African English, Data set 2 (n = 60) with read‐aloud samples from the same L1s, and Data set 3 (n = 40) with TOEFL responses from Arabic, Chinese, Korean, and Spanish speakers. Intelligibility was operationalized through transcription, using Apple's Siri and Google Assistant. Word error rates (WER) were calculated by an expert coder, and five human experts transcribed Data set 3 for comparison. Results showed that (a) AI systems' transcription accuracy varied by L1, and (b) human raters did not exhibit this bias. The findings have important implications for L2 learners and teachers by raising awareness of AI‐related fairness issues in L2 classrooms and technology applications.\n"]

["TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView. ", "\nAbstract\nFor this TESOL Quarterly 60th anniversary special issue, we examine the journal's contributions to research on the TESOL practicum, synthesizing trends in theory, research, and practice. We identified 28 TESOL Quarterly articles published between 1967 and 2025 that have a specific focus on the practicum. We found three recurring conceptual lenses which frame practicum experiences—sociocultural theory, language teacher identity, and reflective practice. We found patterns in the research methods used that privilege qualitative inquiry and analyses of student‐teacher artifacts over direct observations of teaching. Common pedagogical practices for the practicum documented in these articles include supervised teaching, structured classroom observation (often video‐supported), guided reflection (e.g., journals/diaries), and portfolio‐based assessment. Student‐teacher mentorship and relationships with practicum supervisors were found to be critical to teacher learning and efficacy. We conclude by outlining future research and practice directions for designing responsive, high‐quality practica across diverse settings and modalities, including greater use of teaching video for feedback and research, more systematic investigation of practicum effectiveness, and attention to emerging technologies such as virtual simulations and AI‐supported tools.\n"]

", "\nABSTRACT\n\nBackground\nSchool mental health professionals (SMHPs) address complex student needs, yet collaboration is often hindered by role ambiguity, inconsistent preparation, and lack of consensus‐based competencies. This study identified core competencies for effective interdisciplinary collaboration in K–12 schools.\n\nMethods\nA three‐round Delphi study involved 47 SMHPs, including school counselors, psychologists, social workers, and therapists. Panelists rated and refined competencies, which were then synthesized using a multi‐step qualitative analysis into higher‐order domains.\n\nResults\nConsensus was reached on 151 competencies across four themes: (1) effective communication and relationship‐building, (2) collaborative leadership and team functioning, (3) professionalism, reflective practice, and critical thinking, and (4) cultural competence, equity, and a student‐centered mindset. Each domain emphasized interpersonal and structural mechanisms supporting coordinated, student‐focused collaboration.\n\nImplications for School Health Policy, Practice, and Equity\nThe framework offers guidance for policy, training, and organizational structures. Embedding competencies into role expectations, professional development, and evaluation, alongside protected collaboration time and culturally responsive practices, can strengthen teams and promote equity.\n\nConclusions\nThis practitioner‐informed, consensus‐based framework provides a foundation for preparing SMHPs, guiding practice, and shaping policy to support coordinated, equitable mental health services in K–12 schools.\n"]
