Quantifying the Spatial Burden of Informal Ride Provision for Older Adults Using Activity Space Analysis and GIS
Older adults’ well-being is strongly shaped by their capacity to navigate and access places beyond their immediate surroundings. Lack of adequate transportation can limit their access to health care, services, and social opportunities. For older adults in the United States who do not or no longer drive, getting private automobile rides from others is their primary mode of transportation, but this reliance can burden their ride providers. Measurin…
Advance care planning among solo agers at risk of becoming unbefriended
Approximately 14 million ‘solo agers,’ referring to older adults who live in America without a spouse, partner, or children to help them through their aging process, have no one to turn to when their health fails. The lack of a trusted proxy to make decisions on their behalf creates serious challenges for decision-making during medical crises, underscoring the urgent need for advance care planning. Despite the large number of people at risk of be…
Increasing Equity Through Technology
Identifying low-cost implementation strategies to facilitate the uptake of technological innovations can help low-resource community clinics mitigate health disparities. Using a social network approach to identify organizational opinion leaders (OLs) can facilitate the adoption of innovations. To fill knowledge gaps related to alternative methods of identifying OLs, we identify and compare OLs in a low-resource community clinic using theoreticall…
Home Visits for Postpartum Depression Intervention among Low-Income Latinas
Research shows that U.S. Latinas are at risk for high rates of postpartum depression (PPD) but have low rates of treatment compared to non-Hispanic White mothers. This study examined the feasibility of a multi-site home-visiting intervention (PST4PPD) conducted by bilingual community health workers (CHW) among low-income Latina mothers. A one-group, pre/posttest design and paired sample’s t-test were used to measure changes in depressive symptoms…
The Association Between Permanency and Length of Time in Foster Care for Children with Older Adult Foster Caregivers
Life-Space Mobility, Transportation, and the Companionship Network of Members of a Hispanic Senior Center

Evaluating the Psychometric Properties of the Revised Attitudes Toward Research Scale for Use with MSW Students
The authors offer suggestions for integrating this validated tool into social work research methods classes to assist in developing students' ability to engage in all steps of the evidence-based practice process once in the field
Cohort-Based Education and Other Factors Related to Student Peer Relationships
Graduate students face a variety of stressors that relate to poor academic performance, lower completion rates, and high rates of depressive symptoms, anxiety, and stress. Student peers provide supports for coping with these stressors and succeeding academically. However, graduate students may find it difficult to form relationships with their peers. This mixed method social network analysis (MMSNA) examines graduate student perceptions of their …
Community-clinic linkages for promoting HIV prevention
Community-clinic linkages may help communities increase HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake. Referrals from community-based organizations may be particularly important for linking Black men who have sex with men (MSM) to PrEP. This study describes PrEP referral and HIV/STI prevention networks among organizations that serve MSM in Houston, TX (N = 40), and Chicago, IL (N = 28), and compares network positions of organizations based on percen…
American Indian Motherhood and Historical Trauma
The subthemes illuminate the intersection of historical trauma and the perinatal experience, continued colonization of mothering, and the resilience of tribal culture during the postpartum period. Implications include advocacy for increasing culturally derived perinatal interventions, increased healthcare coverage of culturally appropriate birthing practices, and future research evaluating the correlation between historical trauma and maternal me…
Social Networks in an Assisted Living Community
This research contributes to the literature of older adults' nonkin social relationships by providing detailed descriptions of the acquaintance and companionship networks within an AL community, quantifying correlates of residents' social ties, and distinguishing between acquaintances and companions
Participation in community activities through Naturally Occurring Retirement Community (Norc) Supportive Service Programs
Naturally Occurring Retirement Community Supportive Service Programs (NORC Programs) constitute a national model in the United States of America that aims to benefit older adults ageing in place in their own homes and communities. One central aspect of NORC Programs is the provision of community activities to facilitate older adults’ connections with others. Guided by ecological systems theory, we explored from older adults’ perspectives what inf…
Local Currency for Community Development
Local currency holds promise for relieving poverty while enhancing social capital and helping communities meet goals. In spite of this, governmental policies have created barriers to its full success. This article examines local currency from a community development perspective, reviews the policy environment in the United States, and identifies policy changes that can support local currencies. Four major types of local currency—proxy, fiat, loca…
