The State of Intimate Partner Violence Research in the Community College Context
Pre-training SBIRT knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of social work students and medical residents
Substance misuse is a major ongoing public health issue. SBIRT is a helpful tool for assessing and identifying at-risk substance use. Evaluation of SBIRT trainings demonstrate post- training changes, however, baseline differences in SBIRT knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors by different health professionals are relatively understudied. Baseline knowledge, attitudes, confidence, and behaviors were compared between medical residents (n = 466) and s…
Predicting intimate partner violence perpetration by Latino/a/e/x men in residential substance misuse treatment
Little is known about rates of IPV among Latino/a/e/x men in residential substance misuse treatment. Logistic regressions examined whether severity of substance use, mental health symptoms, and socioecological factors predicted IPV perpetration in 145 Latino/a/e/x men in treatment. Lifetime perpetration and victimization were 72.6% and 76.7%, respectively. Perpetration was negatively associated with self-esteem and positively associated with depr…
Women's Formal Help-Seeking Before and After Their Abusive Partner Initiates Relationship Violence Treatment
Intimate partner violence survivors ( N = 122) reported on formal help-seeking before and after their male partners enrolled in a Relationship Violence Intervention Program (RVIP). At baseline, only 20% of survivors had ever received domestic abuse (DA) counseling. DA counseling was more common among survivors with more extensive partner abuse exposures, and for black women residing in suburban versus urban communities. New help-seeking was assoc…
Teaching Note—Exploring Podcast-Facilitated Course Work on Racism
Social work educators teach cultural competency and guide students to understand and address racism. Using mixed methods, we explored the influence of a one-semester course on racial attitudes, skills, and knowledge among 10 diverse undergraduate students. The Seeing White podcast delivered content about historic and systemic race-based oppression and discrimination in American society. Students participated in seminars, maintained reflective jou…
SBIRT Training in Social Work Education
A grand challenge for social work is addressing widespread public health problems of alcohol misuse. MSW students (n = 83) received Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) training through didactic sessions, role plays, and pre–post videotaped standardized patient (SP) interactions. SBIRT knowledge, self-reported practice behaviors, and confidence were assessed at pretest, 30 days, and 6 months posttest. Videos were coded…
Teaching Motivational Interviewing to Child Welfare Social Work Students Using Live Supervision and Standardized Clients
Objective: Motivational interviewing (MI) has demonstrated effectiveness with varied populations; however, methods of training students in MI vary. The present study tests the efficacy of a brief experiential training approach used to teach MI to child welfare social work students. We hypothesized that students exposed to the experimental training would demonstrate more MI adherent behaviors, experience less decay in skills at follow-up, and repo…
Out of Africa
We explored the coping behaviors of 15 immigrant African survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) in the United States. Similarities and differences in coping strategies between African and other immigrant women were noted. Results from the qualitative analysis are that African immigrant survivors utilized multiple coping strategies including beliefs in spirituality and divine retribution, a future orientation, and a sense of self-efficacy. A…
Profiling Abusive Men Based on Women’s Self-Reports
Understanding abusive behaviors among nonclinical samples of men is important to help women in the community understand the risks they may face. The purpose of the current study is to identify abusive profiles and subgroups of non-treatment-seeking men using women’s self reports. Of the sample of 611 women, 43% reported current abuse; chronicity of psychological aggression was the highest. Cluster analysis results revealed three different types o…
Substance Use Problems, Treatment Engagement, and Outcomes in Partner Violent Men
Objectives: This study examined predictive associations of substance abuse with treatment engagement variables and partner abuse outcomes and explored the extent to which treatment engagement and ongoing alcohol consumption mediated the association between pretreatment substance use and posttreatment abuse. Method: Data were collected from 145 partner abusive men in treatment and partners using standardized measures of violence, alcohol and drug …
Preparing for the Inevitable
Little attention has been given to educating and training social work students and professionals about working with suicidal clients. This article summarizes the literature on client suicide and the professional social worker, as well as presents results from a mixed methods study, which utilized both qualitative and quantitative data collected from a national study on client suicide among social workers. The results indicate that 55% of social w…
Reactions of Mental Health Social Workers following a Client Suicide Completion
The impact of client suicidal behavior on mental health social workers is slowly receiving increased empirical attention. This qualitative study examined the impact of client suicide on social workers. Results indicate that social workers experience multiple personal and professional reactions immediately following a client suicide completion. Long-term effects, such as the continual experience of emotional reactions and permanent behavior change…
The Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale (STSS)
The Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale (STSS; Bride, Robinson, Yegidis, & Figley, 2004) is an easy to administer 17-itemself-report measure of secondary trauma. Bride et al. (2004) reported a measure of three domains of traumatic stress specifically associated with secondary exposure to trauma: intrusion, avoidance, and arousal. The STSS was reported to have high levels of internal consistency reliability and indicated evidence of convergent, discr…
Prevalence of and Reactions to Fatal and Nonfatal Client Suicidal Behavior
A majority of mental health social workers come in contact with suicidal clients during their career. As a result, social workers may experience high levels of stress that can ultimately impact their quality of and ability to practice. The present study examined the prevalence of fatal and nonfatal client suicidal behavior experienced by mental health social workers and examined their subsequent reactions. A random national sample of 697 mental h…
The Teachers’ Reactions to School Violence Scale
In response to the concern with and severity of school violence and the limited research on teachers’responses to these events, the Teachers’Reactions to School Violence Scale (TRSV) was developed. The TRSV is a self-report scale with 35 items measuring teachers’ reactions in relation to an incident of school violence. The convenience sample consisted of 143 middle and high school teachers. A principal components analysis yielded six components: …
