Primary Caregiver and Child Attachment
This descriptive pilot study examined the relationship between African American and Hispanic youth's reported substance use and their perceived attachment with their primary caregiver. Thirty (N = 30) African American and Hispanic adolescents, age 14 through 17, were divided into two groups, those who reported using alcohol and/or drugs (n = 15) and those who did not (n = 15) The two groups were matched on race, age, gender, violence exposure, an…
Exploring Predictive Factors for Substance Use in African American and Hispanic Youth Using an Ecological Approach
This cross sectional descriptive study used Hierarchical regression, with Bronfenbrenner's framework, to examine the ‘system’ factors that significantly predicted substance-using behavior in an African American/Hispanic, non-clinical, convenience sample of urban youth to move beyond individualistic explanations for youth substance use. Participants (N= 98), age 11–17, with self/parent written consent, completed, individually, a ten-page questionn…
Child and Adolescent Alcohol Use and Abuse
Alcohol abuse adversely affects the social, psychological, and physical health of children and adolescents. Therefore, it is imperative that youth receive the most reliable and valid assessment and methodologically proven interventions understood by research to date. Empirically supported child and adolescent assessment and interventions are described
Corporal Punishment
It is vital to study and understand the underlying conditions that support and maintain the almost universal positive attitudes about the use of corporal punishment with children. Corporal punishment is a form of violence against children that affects child development and may possibly be a link to later violent behavior. Currently, the scientific community is in great debate regarding the use of corporal punishment with children and the adult or…
Bully-Victimization Related to Gender and Grade Level
This descriptive study used the Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire to obtain data from a convenience sample (N = 192) of three rural public school students in grades 3 through 8. The objectives of the study were to determine the type and frequency of bully-victimization experienced by male and female students relating to gender and grade level. Using frequencies and percentages, elementary school males and females described, weekly or more, relati…
How School Environments Contribute to Violent Behavior in Youth
Schools are not perceived as safe havens. Students, school administrators, teachers, and parents recognize the school environment as a place where victimization occurs-often. This perception elicits fear and the devastating consequences of withdrawal, defending, and the stress/trauma response in students and school staff. Schools must understand the association between victimization and violent behaviors relating to the perceived stress/trauma re…
Comorbid Substance Abuse and Mental Illness
Literature concerning assessment and treatment of comorbid substance abuse and mental illness is reviewed. Currently, comorbidity is under-diagnosed and dually diagnosed clients are under-served. Those clients, who are so diagnosed, are most often offered dichotomous parallel or serial interventions. However, research suggests that an integrated approach is preferable. Enhanced training of mental health and substance abuse professionals is urgent…
The Effective Social Worker
Client and worker interchange is at the core of the social work effort. The practitioner, in using the self as a tool, must manifest a fundamental grasp of the treatment configuration that is empirically based, relevant, and guided by a professional code of ethics. Successful therapeutic outcomes in psychosocial treatment depend on a number of variables, such as, client and worker characteristics, worker efficacy regarding the structure of treatm…
