Artificial intelligence and climate migration equity
In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of people displaced by climate-related damage to the physical and social environment. These migrants are more exposed to climate-related environmental damage than others and more vulnerable to its social and health impacts because they possess fewer resources for mitigation and adaptation. Emerging artificial intelligence (AI) tools and approaches may help improve understanding …

Suicidal ideation among North Korean refugees in South Korea
Rates of death by suicide among North Korean refugees are three times higher than those among their host-country counterparts in South Korea. However, social and cultural factors predicting suicidality among North Korean refugees are not well known. Thus, we explored how social networks affect suicidal ideation in a sample of 405 North Korean refugees in South Korea using egocentric network data. Network diversity (number of different types of ti…
Integration Is Correlated With Mental Health Help-Seeking From the General Practitioner
Despite a seemingly higher need, refugees in Europe tend to underuse mental health (MH) services. To better understand this underuse, it is important to understand refugees' willingness and ability to seek help from their general practitioner (GP) when experiencing MH problems. We employed a combined vignette and survey design to explore how the GP fits into the larger context of help-seeking preferences among a sample of Syrian refugees in Norwa…

The psychology of isolated and confined environments
Psychosocial adaptation to isolated and confined environments exhibits 4 distinct characteristics. First, it is seasonal: Variations in mood are associated with the altered diurnal cycle and psychological segmentation of the mission. Second, it is situational: Concurrent measures of personality, interpersonal needs, and coping styles are better predictors of mood and performance than are predeployment measures. Third, it is social: Members of exp…

A Mixed Methods Approach to Network Data Collection
There is a growing interest in examining network processes with a mix of qualitative and quantitative network data. Research has consistently shown that free recall name generators entail recall bias and result in missing data that affect the quality of social network data. This study describes a mixed methods approach for collecting social network data, combining a free recall name generator in the context of an online survey with network relati…
Operationalizing Social Work Science Through Research–Practice Partnerships
Recent efforts to identify and promote a distinct science for the discipline of social work have led to an ongoing debate regarding the nature and function of such a science. Central to this debate is a lack of consensus as to how to operationalize a social work science. Drawing from the field of implementation science and its application in reducing the gap between research and practice in child welfare and child mental health, this article exam…
Causality and Causal Inference in Social Work
Achieving the goals of social work requires matching a specific solution to a specific problem. Understanding why the problem exists and why the solution should work requires a consideration of cause and effect. However, it is unclear whether it is desirable for social workers to identify cause and effect, whether it is possible for social workers to identify cause and effect, and, if so, what is the best means for doing so. These questions are c…

Social and economic activities in the region are guided by two major sociocultural orientations: a traditional orientation based on a subsistence lifestyle, and a modern orientation based on a commercial econ…
A Longitudinal Study of Ethnicity and Disease Incidence
Ethnic differences in the distribution of disease and injury have been attributed to a constellation of genetic, social, and cultural factors associated with ethnicity. In this paper I describe the results of a prospective study of ethnic group differences in rates of first hospitalization for all diseases and injuries among a cohort of U.S. Navy men who enlisted in 1974 and were followed for a six-year period. Eight groups were defined on the ba…
Sociocultural influences on psychosocial adjustment in Antarctica
Psychological stress is a 'normal' part of wintering-over in the Antarctic given the unusual living conditions of small groups, the harsh environment, and the prolonged isolation from outside contact. The degree of stress, however, is influenced by different sociocultural factors. Three in particular are examined in this paper: (1) those located in the individual personality; (2) those located in the sociocultural backgrounds of station personnel…
