Ethic and Value Considerations in the Design of Interactional Agency
This paper continues the exploration of network society ethics and value considerations that have moved more clearly toward considerations of interactional agency. Interactional agency produces relationships between agents and structure. The agents and structure each have their own powers and capabilities that social science has considered fundamental to sociality. In a network society, the interaction of the two produces new relational patterns.…
Online Harassment Among College Students
Increased time spent online in combination with current Internet trends such as social networking have led to new risks for online harassment. This problem has been given much attention for adolescents, but little has been done to describe the risks of online harassment experienced by young adults, even though they exhibit Internet behavior comparable to adolescents. This study is in part a replication of a previous study that surveyed online har…

Development and initial validation of an outcome measure for home visitation
The Healthy Families Parenting Inventory (HFPI) is a 63‐item outcome measure that was designed to examine change in nine parenting‐related domains. The HFPI was developed to respond to the need for an outcome measure for home visitation programs that is relevant to the intervention, sensitive to change, and appropriate with a diverse participant base, and would produce data that are immediately useful in practice. The authors detail the steps in …
The mental health status of Latino children in the public child welfare system
As the number of Latino children in public child welfare continues to grow, it is necessary to understand how their mental health is faring. The paper examines emotional and behavioural needs among Latino children who had contact with the public child welfare system. The purpose of this longitudinal study was twofold: to examine the severity of emotional and behavioural problems, and to assess the predictive role of generation status and Latino o…
U.S. Immigration Policy and Immigrant Children's Well-being
America is built upon a history of immigration; yet current immigration policy and anti-immigrant sentiment negatively affect the vulnerable population of immigrant families and children. Immigrant children face many problems, including economic insecurity, barriers to education, poor health outcomes, the arrest and deportation of family members, discrimination, and trauma and harm to their communities. These areas of immigrant children's economi…

Who are the fathers in healthy families Arizona? An examination of father data in at‐risk families
Despite substantial research documenting the importance of father-child relations, little is known about fathers in families considered at risk for child abuse, and this lack of information makes adequate targeting of fathers in interventions challenging. This research aims to provide information that will aid interventions in targeting fathers and addressing father-related family issues through: (a) providing descriptive information regarding fa…
Poverty and Other Factors Affecting Migration Intentions among Adolescents in Mexico
This study aimed to understand the social and economic factors that impact migration intentions among Mexican adolescents. The sample consists of 980 adolescents surveyed in Tijuana, Mexico, in February 2009. Multiple regressions were run controlling for gender, age, parents' education level, and average grades in school. The results indicated that lower socioeconomic status was not a significant predictor of higher intentions to migrate to the U…

Employment-Related Salaries and Benefits in Social Work
The purpose of this study was to develop a descriptive benchmark of social work employment in Arizona and to provide useful information to administrators, job seekers, and prospective social work students. The results, based on telephone and Internet surveys to a random sample of 463 NASW Arizona members, indicate that salary was positively related to level of education and years of social work employment experience. Salary was also higher for me…

Examining the sexual offenses of female juveniles
Research on female juvenile sex offenders is limited by small clinical samples. Little is known about the characteristics of female sexual offending and how it is related to child maltreatment. This study examines data from the case histories of 118 female juvenile sex offenders. In contrast to portrayals in previous research, this study shows that female sex offenders are not a homogeneous group. Findings also included differentiation between fe…
Understanding and Interpreting Effect Size Measures
Statistical methods are the hallmark of quantitative research. Examining whether a result is statistically significant is standard content in social work research statistics courses. In all of social science, statistical significance testing has been the accepted procedure for examining results. Despite ongoing efforts aimed at encouraging researchers to report some index of magnitude that is not directly affected by sample size--for example, eff…
The Empirical Validation of an Instrument to Predict Risk of Recidivism Among Juvenile Offenders
An increase in the number of juveniles entering the juvenile justice system in the past 10 years has heightened the demand for rehabilitation services. Because the demand for rehabilitative services is greater than resources allow, efforts are underway to predict who is a high risk for recidivism so that services may be focused on these juveniles, while reducing efforts to those who are low-risk. In addition, statistical risk prediction is intend…
The Economic Well-Being of Never- and Ever-Married Single Mother Families
This paper addresses the effect of marital status on economic well-being by comparing the economic situation of never-and ever-married single mother families in the U.S. and three other Western industrialized countries, Australia, Canadaand France. Data from the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) are used to describe the contribution of employment, public transfer, and child support income, as well as demographic variables, to the poverty status of th…

The Povertization of Women
This examination of the economic and social well-being of women in industrialized and developing countries identifies common factors that contribute to women's impoverishment and shows that the shared nature of these largely personal problems makes them global human rights issues. Knowledge of these issues from a global perspective is the first step toward formulating and implementing policies and practices that can empower women in ways that wil…
The Development of an Instrument to Measure the Restrictiveness of Children's Living Environments
The purpose of this study was to establish content validity and reliability in assessing the restrictiveness of children's living environments and to develop an instrument that has practical utility to measure restrictiveness. The primary method employed in the study was an expert panel approach. An initial 12-person expert panel was identified to generate a description of the concept of restrictiveness and a list of possible living environment c…
