The Ties That Bind and Unbound Ties
This report explores the nature and quality of social ties of formerly homeless individuals in recovery from serious mental illness and substance abuse and how these ties relate to experiences of community. Using grounded theory and cross-case analysis techniques, we analyzed 34 qualitative interviews conducted with predominantly racial/ethnic minority individuals receiving mental health services. Participants described a range of involvement and…
Examining the nonkin support networks of orphaned adolescents participating in a family‐based economic‐strengthening intervention in Uganda
In this study, we examined the nonkin support networks of orphaned adolescents participating in a family‐based economic‐strengthening intervention in HIV‐impacted communities in Uganda. We analyzed data from a cluster randomized experimental study for orphaned adolescents aged 11–17 years. Participants were randomly assigned to either the control condition, which received bolstered standard of care (BSOC) services, or the treatment condition, whi…
(Em)placing recovery
This study used photo-elicitation methodology to explore how the move from supervised to supported housing affects recovery and community connections for individuals living with serious mental illness (SMI) in four Canadian cities. Qualitative interviews conducted in 2015 revealed five themes: (1) the characteristics distinguishing home from housing; (2) the importance of amenities offered by supported housing; (3) the connections between accessi…
Housing First
Little more than two decades ago, the 'Housing First' (HF) approach pioneered by Pathways to Housing, Incorporated was a small but determined challenge to the burgeoning yet ineffective service system for homeless persons. Today, the success of HF has brought about paradigm-shifting systems change not only in the homeless 'industry' but in related service systems. This book employs conceptual frameworks drawn from theories of institutional change…

Preparation of youth in congregate care for independent living
This paper reports on findings from a qualitative study that focused on the quality and adequacy of preparation of youth in congregate care for independent living. This study, conducted in New York, NY, USA, explored the extent to which youth feel prepared to leave care and the opportunities they are given to participate in planning and decision‐making regarding issues that personally affect their future. Interviews were conducted with profession…
Integrating Mental Health Screening and Abnormal Cancer Screening Follow-Up
Institutionalizing Activism
The story of the Sherman Park Community Association illustrates how concurrent commitments to ideology, community, and organizational viability pose challenges to a community-based organization. Information was gathered from public documents, archived records, and retrospective, audio-taped interviews to review the history of an organization's survival through twenty-five years of changing demographics and public policies. Institutionalization, p…
The Contribution of Support Networks to Household Labor in African American Families
Studies on support networks suggest that networks are an important context from which families manage, especially for African American families. The 1988 National Survey on Families and Households was used to assess the extent of network involvement and the relationship to household labor. Among married, African American couples, about half received tangible assistance related to managing a household and a majority of men and women reported recei…

An Adaptive Approach to the Study of Ethnicity
Studies of southern and eastern European ethnic groups in the United States often become submerged in the ongoing argument of assimilation vs. cultural pluralism. As a result, underlying factors affecting the persistence or dissolution of a particular group are obscured or ignored. Social, historical, cultural, religious, political, and economic aspects of ethnic differences are useful targets of analysis. However, much of the research on ethnici…
Ethical Challenges for Intervening in Drug Use
Numerous forms of psychoactive substances have existed for a long time with varying and complicated social responses in terms of policies, treatment, sanctions, and public opinion. The variation in
