The Role of Field Education in Preparing Social Work Students for Trauma-Informed Care
With mounting evidence over the last 20 years regarding the prevalence and severity of trauma histories among social work clients, there has been a concerted effort across schools of social work to embed trauma-informed principles within course content and training. As students work to integrate classroom skills into field practicums, field education departments play a critical role in guiding application of these skills and incorporation of self…

This st…
Childhood Adversities, Midlife Health, and Elder Abuse Victimization
This innovative study advances our understanding mechanisms through which childhood trauma influences abuse in late life. Boosting health in middle adulthood could help prevent elder abuse. Other implications for clinical practice, treatment, and future research on elder abuse are discussed
Food for Education in Guatemala
This study examined how dietary diversity and key demographics are linked to greater Spanish reading comprehension for child beneficiaries of a USDA-funded Food for Education programme in Guatemala. All students in 3rd and 6th grade were surveyed across 118 schools, 3519 children in total. Generalised linear mixed models examined the influence of dietary diversity, and K’iche’ language ability, on children’s Spanish reading comprehension. Dietary…
Re-experiencing Violence Across the Life Course
Findings suggest that the phenomenon of revictimization may occur not only in early and middle adulthood, but also in late life. To advance our understanding of victimization across the life course, future research on root causes of elder abuse should include histories of child abuse
Child Sexual Abuse and Depression in Late Life for Men
This innovative, population-based, longitudinal study demonstrated that CSA can undermine mental health for men across the life span and into old age. Social support appears to mitigate these deleterious effects. In early, middle, and late adulthood, practitioners should assess for CSA and strengthen support resources for male survivors
The experience of social protection in Palestine
Families in the Occupied Palestinian Territories face political and social problems that reinforce poverty and undermine well-being. Since the limited self-governance era, Palestinian National Authority implemented anti-poverty reforms, including national cash transfers; yet, little is known about how social assistance is perceived by beneficiaries. This exploratory study analyzed transcripts from interviews with Palestinian heads of households. …
A Validation Study of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory Among Survivors of Clergy-Perpetrated Child Sexual Abuse
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to assess the structure of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), a widely used measure, in a previously untested population; namely a sample of adult males who reported experiencing clergy-perpetrated childhood sexual abuse (N= 273). Given the unique challenges in spirituality and religiosity faced by survivors of clergy-perpetrated childhood sexual abuse and the emphasis that the PTGI places on spiri…
Power relationships and the formulation of anti-poverty policies in emerging countries
The process for developing social policies in the Palestinian Territories has undergone several changes in recent years. Most recently, the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) formally adopted the partnership approach whereby policies are developed with participation by the civil society sector and international donor organizations. However, it is unclear whether these partnerships have been realized as little is known about the power relationsh…
