Current state of mental health and substance use in Toledo, Belize
Mental health and substance use are increasingly pressing issues in communities across low-and-middle income countries, including Belize, particularly Toledo, the country’s most rural and resource-limited district. Using community-based participatory research methods, this preliminary mixed methods study (quantitative n = 163; qualitative n = 10) aims to (1) investigate mental health symptoms and substance use patterns in a non-randomized sample …

An Exploration of the Social Support of Women in Sex Work in Cúcuta, Colombia
Social support for women in sex work is essential for their overall health and well-being. In the city of Cúcuta, Colombia, both domestic Colombian and migrant Venezuelan women utilize the sex industry to obtain an income. However, with limited resources in this area and little prior research about the current supports, this study explores the social support accessed and received, the social support desired, and identifies the formal social suppo…
The acceptability of non-abstinent treatment goals among clinical social workers in the United States
Research on acceptability of non-abstinence goals has focused primarily on addiction counsellors and lacks representation of clinical social workers (SWs). We examined whether acceptability of non-abstinence varied as a function of a client’s severity of substance use disorder (SUD) diagnosis (severe vs. moderate), finality of an outcome goal (intermediate vs. final), and type of substance (e.g. alcohol, cannabis) among clinical SWs in the US (Un…
The Journey through Sex Trafficking, Motherhood, and Building Resilience
Within the red-light area of Kamathipura in Mumbai, India, the majority of female sex workers (FSWs) arrive as victims of sex trafficking. Many of these FSWs are mothers who must care for their children amongst multiple challenges including those associated with sex work and their traumas from the past. This research explores the experiences of survivors of sex trafficking who are currently FSWs through a resilience lens. In-depth interviews were…

We Are Aging Too! Exploring the Social Impact of Late-Life Migration among Older Immigrants in the United States
Although aging and migration are major global demographic trends, little attention has been given to the health and well-being of immigrants who migrate later-in-life. Drawing on the social convoy perspective, we examine the social impact of late-life migration and explore patterns of human service provision among late-life immigrants in a midwestern U.S. region. Using qualitative data (N = 71)—in-depth interviews and focus group discussions— fro…
Attitudes and Beliefs about the Therapeutic Use of Psychedelic Drugs among Psychologists in the United States
Psychologists are a vital component of mental health treatment and their perceptions of psychedelic-assisted therapy are critical for future implementation. This cross-sectional quasi-experimental electronic survey study explored the attitudes about psychedelics used in treatment among 366 clinical psychologists in the United States. Participants expressed cautiously favorable attitudes toward therapeutic psychedelic experiences but indicated con…
I Am Almost a Breadwinner for My Family”
While societal and structural factors often constrain women’s agency in patriarchal settings, women nevertheless find creative ways to manifest and develop agency. Female sex workers (FSWs), in particular, are regularly assumed to have little or no agency, but an important body of literature suggests otherwise. To add to this knowledge, this study sought to answer the question: How do FSWs in Mumbai, India, exert agency in personal and profession…
Structural vulnerabilities and breastfeeding among female sex workers in Mumbai
Breastfeeding has numerous health, environmental, and economic benefits, and the promotion and support of breastfeeding has been at the centre of efforts from many global organizations such as WHO and UNICEF to promote maternal and child health. Interventions developed from such policies tend to be inaccessible to those who are economically marginalized, however, and thus may further inequities. Understanding the lived experiences of women occupy…
The Feminist Ethic of Care
The majority of sex workers are mothers. Although participation in sex work is primarily driven by the prioritization of their children’s needs over their own, mothers are stigmatized, subject to poorer health, and lack access to quality health care and social services. Interviews with 25 mothers in Mumbai, India, were analyzed using theory-driven coding to reexamine participation in sex work in context of Gilligan’s three-stage ethic of care, a …
