The alcohol use disorder treatment gap and its correlates among middle‐aged and older adults
Predictors of Long‐Term Alcohol Use Disorder Treatment Receipt Among Middle‐Aged and Older Adults With Problematic Alcohol Use
Practice Makes Perfect
). Focus groups included masters of social work students (N = 40) from six universities in the United States. Students were, on average, 34 years of age (range 21 to 58) with 75% female, 20% male, and two non-binary students. Students identified as White (50%), Latinx/Latine (20%), Black (12.5%), and multi-racial (12.2%). A framework-guided content analysis was used, and revealed four broad themes: 1) classroom-based opportunities for practice ob…
Reassessing measures of risk for homelessness among families with children in New York City
The daily association between affect and alcohol use

Underexamined points of vulnerability for black mothers in the child welfare system
Alcohol-Related Diagnoses in Hospital Admissions for All Causes Among Middle-Aged and Older Adults
Rates of alcohol-related admissions are increasing among adults above age 45, which may be a function of cohort effects. Training the health care workforce is crucial to respond to this trend
Exploratory Single-System Analyses of Moderation-Based Brief Treatments With Middle-Aged and Older Heavy Drinkers
As baby boomers age, identifying effective and efficacious interventions for older adults (OA) with alcohol use disorder is vital for the ongoing viability of the health care system. Brief alcohol use disorder interventions with OA have yet to be examined in the context of studies with high internal validity. Post-hoc, exploratory, single-system analyses were performed on 10 OA and 13 middle-aged problem drinkers who had participated in a randomi…
Improving 24-Month Abstinence and Employment Outcomes for Substance-Dependent Women Receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families With Intensive Case Management
Objective. We examined abstinence rates among substance-dependent women receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) in intensive case management (ICM) over 24 months and whether ICM yielded significantly better employment outcomes compared with a screen-and-refer program (i.e., usual care). Methods. Substance-dependent (n = 302) and non–substance dependent (n = 150) TANF applicants in Essex County, New Jersey, were recruited. We rand…
Doctoral Education in Social Work
Little is known about social work doctoral students and graduates: why they chose doctoral study, the kind of work they do, and the nature of their unique contributions to the profession. This article reviews past studies of doctoral education in social work in the context of general trends in doctoral education in the United States, underscoring the need for more social workers with doctoral degrees. Using data from the Survey of Earned Doctorat…
When the Caregiver Needs Care
Objectives. This study examined the characteristics, activities, and challenges of high-risk informal caregivers. Methods. Telephone interviews were conducted with a nationally representative cross-section of 1002 informal caregivers. Vulnerable caregivers with poor health or a serious health condition were compared with nonvulnerable caregivers. Results. Thirty-six percent of caregivers were vulnerable. Compared with nonvulnerable caregivers, vu…
