Factors Influencing Employment Decisions Among Immigrants Caring for a Child With Special Health Care Needs
Immigrant parents may struggle to secure and maintain employment if they raise children with disabilities. The current study examines data from immigrant parents responding to the 2018 National Survey of Children's Health, including 618 raising children with special health care needs (CSHCN) and 2937 parenting children needing typical care. Parents of CSHCN had higher levels of both aggravation and resilience, but less access to a medical home th…
Supporting Sleep and Health of Employed Parents with Typical and Exceptional Care Demands
Employed parents of children with disabilities and serious health conditions report high levels of stress increasing the level of risk for sleep and physical health problems. This study examines the influence of personal, family, and work supports on sleep and health. Conservation of resources theory and the continuum of dependent care model frame the conceptual development of this exploratory study. Using secondary analysis of the 2016 National …

This study explored the effects of demands related to caring for children and youth with mental health difficulties and of resources in community ecologies including health services, schools, neighborhoods, and social supports, on parental workforce participation. Through secondary analysis of U.S. data from the 2016 National Survey of Children’s Health, we found that when children’s mental health issues were more severe, parents experienced frus…
Longitudinal Impact of a Randomized Clinical Trial to Improve Family Function, Reduce Maternal Stress and Improve Child Outcomes in Families of Children with ADHD
The Key Role of Social Inclusion in Promoting Urban Social Sustainability: An Exploration and Application to Health Equity
Building upon a working definition of social sustainability as the processes and institutions that generate health and well-being now and in the future (Dillard, Dujon, and King 2009a), we argue that social inclusion is necessary to ensure that social processes yield collectively higher levels of societal well-being. Social inclusion requires that all persons have effective input into those development processes that affect them, within the curre…
Social Equity and Environmental Health: A Search for Solutions in Portland, Oregon
Social inequities in Portland are evident in human health and well-being. These inequities manifest themselves in part through unequal exposure to stressors in the built and natural environment in neighborhoods. Incorporating the voices of community collaborators our research team investigated promising solutions to social inequalities in environmental health. Through community-based focus group participation and in-depth interviews we examined s…
Racial Respect and Racial Socialization as Protective Factors for African American Male Youth
African American adolescents must negotiate the transition to adulthood in a society that makes the achievement of positive cultural identity and self-respect difficult. Frequently, young men turn to violence in an attempt to achieve respect in their communities. This article explores factors that predict the use of violence among African American male youth. Adolescents from 14 through 18 years of age who completed a written survey in group sett…
The African American Adolescent Respect Scale: A Measure of a Prosocial Attitude
Objectives: The respect that African American youth feel promotes psychological wellness and social identity; conversely, a lack of respect compromises their identities and is viewed as a threat to safety. This article describes the development, psychometric analysis, and validation of the African American Respect Scale, a 20-item instrument measuring prosocial attitudes held by male adolescents. Method: The scale was administered to 200 African …
Work-Family Fit: Voices of Parents of Children with Emotional and Behavioral Disorders
Employed parents of children with emotional or behavioral disorders overcome significant challenges to fulfill their daily work-family responsibilities; however, their experiences in meeting these multiple demands have not been examined. The purpose of the present study was to describe the strategies these parents use and their perceptions about how caregiving and employment responsibilities can successfully fit together. Findings of five focus g…
Learner-Learning Environment Fit: An Adult Learning Model for Social Work Education
The person-environment paradigm is pivotal to our profession; however, few social work educators have utilized this theoretical perspective to shape curricula or to advance teaching practices that take into account what we know about the adult learner (Coulshed, 1993) and the learning environment (Knowles, 1972). In this article, the authors propose a model of social work education based on recent theoretical developments and research findings in…
Accent Scaling and Language Attitudes: Reactions to Mexican American English Speech
The relationship between degree of accent in the English of Mexican American speakers as assessed by naive raters, and the evaluative judgments of the raters toward accented speakers was explored. Tape recordings were prepared in a prior study of nine Mexican American readers having varying degrees of accent as judged by three linguists. An Accentedness Index score was obtained for each recorded speaker from the linguists' ratings of occurrences …
