Associations between Local and State Structural Stigma, Minority stress, and Mental Health in a Nationwide Sample of Sexual Minority Adolescents
Structural stigma, which includes policies and attitudes that mark minorities for discrimination, contributes to sexual minority adolescents’ (SMA) stress and mental health disparities, yet the relative contributions of county- vs. state-level stigma remain unknown. This study examined how structural stigma affects SMA exposure to minority stress and mental health symptoms with a U.S. national sample of SMA ( N = 2,558, ages 14-17, M = 15.9), of …
Pandemic-Related Stress and Resilience Among Latinx Mothers with a History of Depression
Applying the Social Work Health Impact Model to Child Maltreatment
Child abuse and neglect (CAN) is a significant and growing public health problem, yet public health approaches to eliminating CAN have not been widely embraced in the United States or in social work education. Public health approaches require a large multidisciplinary infrastructure to scale evidence-based primary prevention strategies through multiple systems. The rapid growth in the workforce projected for the next decade, combined with the inc…
Just Research
The Society for Social Work and Research (SSWR) created its Research Capacity and Development Committee in 2017 to build research capacity across the careers of social work scholars. The committee has initiated multiple conferences and webinar sessions that have increasingly focused on antiracist and antioppressive (ARAO) research, including "Mentorship for Antiracist and Inclusive Research" and "Strategies for Supporting Antiracist Pedagogy & Sc…
Transitions to virtual early childhood home visitation during Covid‐19
COVID‐19 has disrupted many of the preventive service sectors designed to promote infant mental health. The purpose of this study is to examine provider and supervisor transition strategies as well as maternal‐child outcomes during the transition from in‐person to virtual early childhood home visitation services in Los Angeles County. Los Angeles County is one of the largest home visitation sectors in the U.S. and disproportionately impacted by t…
Venue-based versus Geosocial Networking Application-based Recruitment of Young Men Who Have Sex with Men
Because of the high cost, venue-based probability sampling of young men who have sex with men (YMSM) is largely inaccessible to social researchers. The aim of this study is to compare the feasibility of implementing geosocial networking application-based (GSNA) and venue-based prob`ability sampling of young men who have sex with men. A cross-sectional survey conducted in Los Angeles in 2017 and 2018 recruited 124 YMSM using both methods. We compa…
Strategies for implementation of virtual home visitation in the United States
Utilising telepractice videoconferencing technology to offer home visitation services has the potential to provide access and parenting support through a high-tech and high-touch service delivery option. Families can receive evidence-based, family support intervention from their home via videoconferencing technology, removing the need for the provider to be physically in the home. While the expansion of telehealth and telepractice services for fa…

Beta Testing in Social Work
The field of social work does not currently have a widely adopted method for expediting innovations into micro- or macropractice. Although it is common in fields such as engineering and business to have formal processes for accelerating scientific advances into consumer markets, few comparable mechanisms exist in the social sciences or social services. Given that beta testing is successfully used to scale innovation in business and engineering, w…
Catalyzing Innovation in Social Work Practice
Social innovation is defined by novelty and improvement. This definition requires social work practice to be more effective or efficient than preexisting alternatives. Practice innovation is accomplished by leveraging technical, social, and economic factors to generate novel interventions, diffusion or adoption of the interventions into broader use, and identification of the value created by the new approaches or processes. Innovation in social w…

African American Children's Perceptions of HIV-Focused Community-Based Participatory Research
We examined factors influencing informed assent, initial involvement, and ongoing involvement in HIV-focused CBPR research for African American children. Study participants (n = 170) were recruited from the Collaborative HIV and Adolescent Mental Health Project and completed an interview format designed to assess attitudes about research activities. Data were analyzed using a mixed-methods approach. Three themes emerged via quantitative and quali…
The Effects of Sexual Expectancies on Early Sexualized Behavior Among Urban Minority Youth
This study examines the effects of different types of sexual expectancies on early sexual behavior among racial/ethnic minority young adolescents. African American and Latino participants between 11 and 13 years old were recruited through schools and community-based agencies in the South Bronx, New York (N = 223). Multiple logistic regression analyses were used to predict early sexual behavior outcomes, which include engagement in sexual possibil…
The Missing Link to Child Safety, Permanency, and Well-Being
Parental substance misuse places families at risk for involvement in Child Welfare Services (CWS) (Barth, Gibbons, & Guo, 2006). Furthermore, maltreated children of parents who misuse substances are more likely to misuse substances in adulthood than are maltreated children of parents who do not misuse substances (Schuck & Widom, 2001). More than 10% of all children in the United States live with a parent who misuses or is addicted to alcohol or d…
Teaching Evidence-Based Social Work in Foundation Practice Courses
The field of social work is attuned to the need to incorporate evidence-based practice education into masters-level curriculum. One question remaining is how to integrate evidence-based practice in the foundation practice courses. Integration of evidence-based practice across the foundation-level curriculum coincides with the Council on Social Work Education's mandate that student's engage in research-informed practice and practice-informed resea…
Community and Individual Factors Associated With Cigarette Smoking Among Young Men Who Have Sex With Men
Young men who have sex with men (YMSM) have higher rates of cigarette smoking than their heterosexual counterparts, yet few studies have examined factors associated with cigarette smoking among YMSM. The present study sought to understand how different types of gay community connection (i.e., gay community identification and involvement, gay bar/club attendance) were associated with smoking among YMSM recruited through venue-based sampling in Los…
Theory development for HIV behavioral health
In the presence of numerous health behavior theories, it is difficult to determine which of the many theories is most precise in explaining health-related behavior. New models continue to be introduced to the field, despite already existing disparity, overlap, and lack of unification among health promotion theories. This paper will provide an overview of current arguments and frameworks for testing and developing a comprehensive set of health beh…
Improving Access to Pediatric Care
The purpose of this study was to explore caregivers' perceptions of factors within the child welfare system which facilitate access to pediatric health services and how the child welfare system can better serve caregivers' needs when accessing health services. We interviewed a sample of 237 caregivers. Content analysis of the open-ended questions was used to identify themes and patterns in caregiver responses. Caregivers reported that child welfa…
Cross-cultural adaptation of the Child Depression Inventory for use in Tanzania with children affected by HIV
Understanding the impact of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic is critical for developing appropriate interventions to create supportive environments for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC). Unfortunately, there are very few studies on the psychosocial wellbeing of children orphaned by AIDS in Africa, and even fewer in Tanzania. It has been difficult to make generalizations across studies and to identify and track children …
The Current State of Evidence-Based Practice in Social Work
While there is recent movement toward Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) in social work, criticisms subsist regarding the profession's translation of research into viable practices. Evidence describing effective interventions exists, but research that addresses dissemination and implementation is generally lacking. This paper highlights existing literature on dissemination and explores the barriers, themes, and trends in EBP through eight expert inter…
