Research Synthesis Methods
Research synthesis plays a vital role in advancing knowledge, informing policy and practice, and shaping future research in social work. However, the proliferation of poorly designed and methodologically weak reviews threatens to dilute the evidence base, undermine decision-making, and slow progress. This paper calls for stronger adherence to high standards in research synthesis, emphasizing the need for thoughtful, well-executed reviews that add…
A Latent Class Analysis of Personality Traits in Adults Experiencing Homelessness
This study distinguishes clinically and theoretically meaningful subgroups of people experiencing homelessness based on their endorsement of personality difficulties, using nationally representative data of the civilian, noninstitutionalized population of the United States, inclusive of those reporting past-year homelessness (N = 704). A bias-adjusted three-step latent class analysis was used to estimate latent class measurement models; classify …

Determining the Effectiveness of Behavior Skills Training and Observational Learning on Classroom Behaviors
Approximately three to four students in an average classroom engage in disruptive behaviors that interfere with normal academic and social development. School social work interventions to prevent and reduce challenging behaviors in the classroom can be used to improve behavior and academic success; however, there is a lack of research on classroom-based interventions social workers can deliver. The current study used a single-subject multiple-bas…

Truancy in the United States
Advancing the Science of Social Work
Social workers have long advocated for using a biopsychosocial model for social work practice. Although the biopsychosocial framework to understanding and treating problems is ubiquitous to social work practice, the biological domain has historically been neglected. In recent years, however, social work practitioners and scholars have begun to embrace findings from biosocial research to inform theory and practice. Despite the emerging use of find…
Public or Private Religiosity
While it is well understood that adolescent religiosity is associated with the use and abuse of licit and illicit substances, few studies have revealed the pathways through which religiosity buffers youth against involvement in such behavior. The aim of this study is to examine the complexity of the relationships between religiosity, sensation seeking, injunctive norms, and adolescent substance use. Using a national sample of adolescents ( N = 18…

Biosocial Research in Social Work Journals
Background: Despite an emphasis on a biopsychosocial understanding of human behavior and the relevance of biosocial research to social work practice, it is unclear whether social work is contributing to biosocial research and knowledge. Methods: Systematic review procedures were employed to locate studies that included biological variables (e.g., genetic or physiological factors) related to behavior and were published in a social work journal bet…
Toward a Bioecological Model of School Engagement
School disengagement is associated with poor academic achievement, dropout, and risk behaviors such as truancy, delinquency, and substance use. Despite empirical research identifying risk correlates of school disengagement across the ecology, it is unclear from which domain these correlates arise. To redress this issue, the current study used intraclass correlation and DeFries-Fulker analyses to longitudinally decompose variance in three domains …

Who Are Truant Youth? Examining Distinctive Profiles of Truant Youth Using Latent Profile Analysis
Prevalence and correlates of truancy in the US
Truancy has been a persistent problem in the United States for more than 100 years. Although truancy is commonly reported as a risk factor for substance use, delinquency, dropout, and a host of other negative outcomes for youth, there has been surprisingly little empirical investigation into understanding the causes and correlates of truancy using large, nationally representative samples. Using the adolescent sample ( N = 17,482) of the 2009 Nati…

Violence and Externalizing Behavior Among Youth in the United States
Despite research demonstrating that approximately 5% of study populations are composed of severely antisocial persons who account for a disproportionate share of problem behaviors, there have been no nationally representative studies assessing this phenomenon among adolescents. Using a large nationally representative sample ( N = 18,614), we identified a severe group (4.7% of respondents) characterized by involvement in varied and intensive exter…
Profiles of Religiosity and Their Association With Risk Behavior Among Emerging Adults in the United States
There exists significant variation in religious expression, and a growing body of research suggests the importance of examining this variation among emerging adults vis-à-vis involvement in antisocial and high-risk behaviors. Drawing from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH; N = 19,312) and the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC; N = 2,721), latent profile analysis and multinomial regression are …
