First responder attitudes and practices related to people who use drugs
Background First responders are critical to preventing recurrent opioid overdoses and improving overdose response. However, their attitudes and behaviors toward people who use drugs (PWUD) remain underexplored, limiting opportunities for effective intervention. This study examined first responders’ perceptions, focusing on their attitudes, crisis response behaviors, and resource-sharing practices.Methods This research is part of a larger, mixed-m…
Correlates of Youth Sex Trafficking in the United States
This study explores potential correlates of youth sex trafficking (YST) within the exosystem and macrosystem of the social-ecological model (SEM). A literature review of studies ( n = 25) published between 2012 and 2024 identified factors linked to YST vulnerability and demand, including factors related to land use, concentrated disadvantage, the digital environment, and the built and social environment. Protective factors in the exosystem and ma…
Beyond Victim Identification
Thousands of youth are sexually trafficked each year in the United States. In order to address this concern, anti-trafficking advocates often emphasize the importance of uniform screening protocols to assist with the identification of survivors. Unfortunately, an oft-overlooked component of sex trafficking identification is what to do once a victim has been identified, and how to best meet survivors' complex needs. In this article, the authors pr…

Risks of Severe Assault and Intimate Partner Homicide among Transgender and Gender Diverse Intimate Partner Violence Survivors
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is an epidemic among transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people. However, intimate partner homicide (IPH) among TGD people is under researched. Thus, thematic content analysis was used to describe and examine antecedents of severe assault and IPH among TGD adults who have experienced IPV (N = 13), via community listening sessions. While some themes resembled known severe assault and IPH risks among cisgender women…

Canadian Covid-19 Crisis Communication on Twitter
To foster trust on social media during a crisis, messages should implement key guiding principles, including call to action, clarity, conversational tone, compassion and empathy, correction of misinformation, and transparency. This study describes how crisis actors used guiding principles in COVID-19 tweets, and how the use of these guiding principles relates to tweet engagement. Original, English language tweets from 10 federal level government,…
Predicting Intimate Partner Violence Reassault and Homicide
A key issue for social workers intervening with clients who use or experience intimate partner violence (IPV) is understanding the likelihood of future reassault and potential lethality. IPV risk assessments (IPVRAs) have been developed to predict future assault among people who have perpetrated IPV (for a review of IPVRAs see Graham et al., 2019). Although IPV survivors can accurately predict future IPV (Cattaneo & Goodman, 2003), they are less …
Polyvictimization and Substance Use Among Sexual Minority Cisgender Women
Background: Violent victimization and substance use are higher among sexual minority cisgender women (SMCW) than heterosexual cisgender women. Unknown, however, is how polyvictimization—experiencing multiple types of violent victimization—affects substance use among SMCW. Purpose/Objectives: This study explores the relationship between polyvictimization and substance use among a small sample of SMCW. Methods: An exploratory secondary data analysi…
Detention Experiences of Commercial Sexual Exploitation Survivors
Commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) harms youth around the globe. In the United States, most states manage CSEC victims through the juvenile justice system. Once the youth enter the system, little is known about how being detained for prostitution and solicitation charges impacts them. This study explores how CSEC survivors in Nevada experience detention through a qualitative content analysis of 36 interviews with formerly detained …

Relationship commitment and alcohol use consequences among sexual minority women
Sexual minority women [SMW] are a considerable population, yet they are often overlooked in behavioral health research focused on problematic alcohol use. With a foundation in Relational-Cultural Theory, we examined the association between relationship commitment and alcohol-related consequences among SMW. Participants were recruited to take part in a study about behavioral health and relationship functioning. Analyses included multiple regressio…
Measurement Models in Social Work Research
Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) is a valuable tool for social work researchers to examine validity of measurements and other latent constructs. Best practice recommendations are to specify and evaluate the fit of multiple models, balancing plausibility, parsimony and quantitative indices. However, little attention has been given to the conceptual and theoretical implications of CFA model variations. This article offers a brief report on the st…
The Girl Is Mine
Intimate partner violence (IPV) and sex work have been primarily constructed as mutually exclusive phenomena within scholarly literature, though both can be situated under the umbrella of gender-based violence and traced to male sexual proprietariness. Specialized research has resulted in deeper understanding of nuanced categorizations of sub-phenomena within both IPV and sex work, with parallel constructions along a spectrum of increasing danger…
Supportive exits
Despite the prevalence of agencies serving sex workers in the United States, there are few program evaluations of supportive services. Phenomenological methods were used to explore the lived experiences of 13 sex workers receiving supportive services in a major city in the American Southwest. Results from this study suggest that clients find the trusted and supportive community within the agency especially helpful. Length of time with the agency …
How Immigration Enforcement Affects the Lives of Older Latinos in the United States
The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of U.S. immigration enforcement on the lives of older Latinos in the United States. Data were drawn from the 2007 Pew Hispanic Center National Survey of Latinos. The sample consisted of 326 participants who were age 55 years or older. Multivariate ordinal logistic regressions indicated that participants who had greater hardships as a result of U.S. immigration enforcement (a) had lower use of go…
Women Reentering the Community
Women represent 26% of those arrested for serious crimes; many have posttraumatic stress and co-occurring substance use disorders, which may influence recidivism. This study examined 57 women residing in a community re-entry program after exiting prison. Participants completed the Trauma Symptom Inventory and Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory. A discriminant function analysis accounted for 34% of between-group variability and provided a …
A Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Interpersonal and Social Empathy Index
The principal purpose of this research was to gather evidence regarding the validity of scores on a multidimensional measure of empathy, the Interpersonal and Social Empathy Index (ISEI). A secondary purpose was to estimate the correlations between factors underlying scores on a measure of interpersonal empathy and scores on a measure of social empathy. An exploratory factor analysis was performed on half of the sample (n = 214) to establish the …

A Predictive Theory of Intentions to Exit Street-Level Prostitution
Street-level prostitution is notoriously difficult to escape and rarely do women exit prostitution on their first attempt or without experiencing serious negative consequences to their physical or mental health. Unfortunately, few theories exist that explain the exiting process and those that do exist are difficult to test quantitatively. This article applies the integrative model of behavioral prediction to examine intentions to exit prostitutio…
