University and Community Agency Research Partnerships
Community-partnered research presents unique opportunities for personal and professional development among social work practitioners, researchers, and students. It is a vehicle for promoting social work values, generating and sharing knowledge, and connecting research to practice. Findings from these types of partnerships can be instructive for those interested in pursuing community-partnered research to improve practice. In this article, we desc…
Exposure to Violence and Posttraumatic Stress Among Youth in Public Housing
Getting to zero HIV/Aids in sub‐Saharan Africa
This study explored a community perception of the facilitators and inhibitors of Getting to Zero (GTZ) in rural Zambia, sub-Saharan Africa. Data were collected in 2017. We use the Social Determinants of Health framework to guide organisation of key themes emerging from semistructured, focus group interviews with community members (N = 52). Data were analysed through an iterative descriptive/thematic approach which allowed for the highlighting of …
Adolescent Employment and Postsecondary Education among Latino Children of Immigrants
This study examined the connection between adolescent employment and future participation in postsecondary education in a sample of U.S. Latino high school juniors/seniors (n = 2164) from the 1992–2002 Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study. Employed and non-employed Latino adolescents did not markedly differ in academic performance, ability, or expectations, suggesting that, for U.S. Latino adolescents, employment may depend on the degree of …
Translational research
Translational research facilitates the application of knowledge gained from research, bridging the divide between research and practice. In the context of work and family studies, translational research can take a variety of forms, depending upon the degree of engagement with stakeholders or end-users of the research. In this study, we defined and examined indicators of translational research in exemplary work and family research publications, in…
Assessing Effect of Bridging Social Capital on the Attitudes Toward Immigrants in the U.S
The impact of the recession on food insecurity among households who were low income
This article aims to investigate the impact of recession on food insecurity among households who are low income. Guided by family stress theory, this article uses data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (N = 3,701). Results suggest that prevalence of food insecurity continued to increase during and after the recession, with the most dramatic increase from 2008 to 2010. The changes in food insecurity prevalence over…
Civic Engagement and Institutional Trust among South Africans
The importance of institutional trust and its key determinants have been widely acknowledged in developed countries. However, in developing countries, where institutional trust has not been well established, its structural causes have not received adequate research emphasis. The aims of our study are: (1) to examine the direct effect of civic engagement on institutional trust; and (2) to examine the mediating effects of government dysfunction and…
Conceptualizing the African child as orphan and vulnerable
Despite the decline in AIDS-related deaths worldwide, the consequence of the disease continues to be felt. This is exemplified in the unprecedented numbers of adult deaths and inability of the extended family to cope. These factors have impacted the welfare of children negatively. Focusing specifically on sub-Saharan Africa, a region severely struck by the pandemic, we examine the effects of the label ‘Orphan and Vulnerable Children’ (OVC), which…
