When to Halt Implementation
Navigating Cultural Adaptation
As the number of forcibly displaced persons worldwide increases, the number of children either forcibly displaced or born as refugees also multiplies. In addition to struggling with basic needs upon resettlement, disruption of daily life can lead to numerous stressors for forcibly displaced parents that may cause friction in the relationship between parent and child. Evidence-based parenting programs may help forcibly displaced parents reconceptu…
Lessons learned from two community health assessment surveys in the “most diverse square mile in America
Purpose The purpose of this study is to briefly describe the methods for two community health assessments (CHAs) conducted in one of the largest refugee resettlement sites in the USA and share lessons learned for the benefit of academic researchers and community-based organization staff interested in conducting similar CHAs. Design/methodology/approach The first CHA, in response to requests from the Clarkston City Council, was conducted in the fa…
Bridging the Language Gap in Healthcare
Linguistic inequity drives systemic disparities in healthcare for non-native English speakers. This study evaluates a project to train and provide qualified medical interpreters (QMI) to assist volunteer and safety-net clinics and community-based organizations in supporting healthcare for immigrants and refugees. We provided scholarships to bilingual community members to take a medical interpreter training course and developed a workforce for tho…

Positive parenting behaviors play a strong role in this development and are especially impactful during times of crisis because they buffer stressors that may lead to externalizing and internalizing behaviors. Children of forced migrants experience numerous extreme stres…

Rolling Blackouts: Dispatches from Turkey, Syria, and Iraq, a dense graphic non-fiction by Sarah Glidden, chronicles the predicament of the refugees and the socio-political circumstances of the Middle East after the devastating Iraq War. The use of graphic journalism to recount Glidden and The Globalist’s journalistic journey raises question about the objectivity of this graphic reportage. However, the subjective stance of the first-person narrat…
Findings from a Structured Adaptation Process for the SafeCare Parenting Program to Address Family Needs in a Diverse Refugee Community
Social workers can promote resiliency among refugee families by referring them to evidence-based programs to reduce the stressors of resettlement. The purpose of this study was to complete a structured adaptation process with the SafeCare® program for implementation in a refugee resettlement community. Participants included 21 members of an adaptation team made up of administrators, supervisors, and family service providers from three community a…
Adaptation and implementation of a parenting curriculum in a refugee/immigrant community using a task-shifting approach
The need for adapting of evidence-based programs and delivery methods for specific populations continues to be an important research question in implementation science. The goal of this study is to better understand an adaptation process and delivery method for three unique populations. We hope the study will inform other efforts to deliver health intervention to refugee communities and ultimately improve refugee health
