Understanding the ecological context of mental, emotional, and behavioral health problems: A person‐centered approach
AIMS: The social/environmental context of youth is important for mental, emotional, and behavioral (MEB) health. This study used person-oriented methods to examine the influences of family, neighborhood, and poverty on late adolescent MEB outcomes. METHODS: Latent class analysis was used to discern significant clusters of at-risk, diverse young men (N = 625) based on contextual factors; differences in MEB outcomes were examined. RESULTS: Four cla…
Mandated reporters’ perceptions of and encounters with domestic minor sex trafficking of adolescent females in the United States
This is the first study to explore whether mandated reporters who work with adolescent females, ages 10 to 17, recognize domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST) and associated risk factors. Because mandated reporters are required by law to report child abuse, neglect, and child exploitation, lack of specific DMST training or not believing DMST exists in communities continues to place young females at risk for revictimization. Results indicate that …

Content and Process in a Teaching Workshop for Faculty and Doctoral Students
Teaching in higher education is often not addressed in doctoral education, even though many doctoral graduates will eventually teach. This article describes a biweekly teaching workshop, presents pitfalls and challenges that beginning instructors face, and advocates pedagogical training for doctoral students. Led by a well-known social work scholar Lawrence Shulman, the workshops were a place for participants to share their concerns and process s…
The Effects of Postadoption Service Need and Use on Child and Adoptive Parent Outcomes
This study looks at parents who have adopted children from the U.S. foster care system and identifies relationships between postadoptive services and outcomes for both parents and children alike. Data for the study came from the 2012 U.S. National Adoptive Families Study, an online survey of adoptive parents (N = 437) who have adopted at least 1 child from the U.S. foster care system. The study focused on child outcomes such as social integration…
Post Adoption Service Need and Use as Predictors of Adoption Dissolution: Findings From the 2012 National Adoptive Families Study
Data from the 2012 National Adoptive Families Study (NAFS) were used to examine the relationships between adoptive parents' need for and utilization of post-adoption services and adoption dissolution. NAFS was an online survey administered to adoptive parents (N = 437) who had adopted a child from the United States foster care system. The study found that needing and accessing post-adoption services predicted 26% of the variance in dissolution. S…
Social Work Education and Public Child Welfare: A Review of the Peer-Reviewed Literature on Title IV-E Funded Programs
Collaboration between public child welfare agencies and social work education is not a new strategy. The relationship was kindled in the 1909 White House Conference and enshrined in Title IV-E support for social work education for public child welfare workers (Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980 1979. Retrieved from http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/96/hr3434H.R. 3434—96th Congress: Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1…
A Review and Application of Existing Theories in Neighborhood Research: Toward a Model for Social Work Practice
The application of existing theory in regard to assessing and addressing neighborhoods from a social work perspective is largely unexplored. Current theories informing neighborhood-level interventions draw little on social work literature. The purpose of this paper is to explore literature from varied fields to assess their utility and inform neighborhood-level intervention methods for social workers. Examining neighborhood theory from all fields…

The Intersection of Social Process and Social Structure Theories to Address Juvenile Crime: Toward a Collaborative Intervention Model
Juvenile crime has long been a pervasive social problem and the target of various intervention efforts. These efforts are ultimately orchestrated by the theoretical lens through which juvenile crime is viewed. This article illustrates the utility of examining theoretical perspectives to inform interventions by presenting a critical analysis and proposed synthesis of two major theories in this area; social learning theory and social disorganizatio…
