What Race Am I
This study examined how immigrant status and socioeconomic status influence racial self-classification among U.S. Latinx adults aged eighteen and older across multiple nationalities. Using data from the 2010-2018 National Health Interview Survey, we analyzed a nationally representative sample of Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Dominican, and Central/South American adults (N = 41,133) who identified as White, Black, or Another race. Socioeconomic st…
Family interventions to improve mental, emotional, and behavioral health outcomes among Latinx youth
The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Older Latino Immigrants
This article examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Latino immigrants age sixty and older from Cuba, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Venezuela. Based on 178 interviews with immigrants in Florida and Massachusetts, this study identifies the financial and health hardships they endured, the kinds of government and nonprofit aid they accessed, the factors keeping many from accessing aid, and the coping strategies th…
The need for culturally congruent supervision for Black and Latinx social workers
Supervision is a dynamic interaction between the supervisor and supervisee that influences professional and clinical behavior. Studies have found that ethnoracial concordance between provider and client is more beneficial to the health decisions and outcomes of the clients. Ethnic, cultural, and racial matching between social worker and client can improve retention, treatment outcomes, and completion. Thus, social workers must consider increasing…
Teleservices use among Latinx immigrant families during the Covid-19 pandemic
After‐school programmes response to the Covid‐19 pandemic
This article explores the role of after-school programmes (ASPs) in serving underserved families in Barcelona, Spain, during the lockdown phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a mixed-method approach, this exploratory study surveyed 31 directors of ASPs administered by the Pere Tarrés Foundation. These ASPs serve almost 2000 children living under the federal poverty level in Catalonia, Spain. Results showed that the primary needs of children and …
Racialization and Psychological Distress among U.S. Latinxs
Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
For the last several years, the Boston College School of Social Work (BCSSW) has worked to deconstruct the hidden nature of whiteness rooted in theories, methods, and practices of education. To that end, the BCSSW created two strategies designed to foster systemic change: the Latinx Leadership Initiative and the Equity, Justice, and Inclusion Initiative. This study uses narrative analysis to examine these initiatives as catalysts of sustainable c…
Adolescent Employment and Postsecondary Education among Latino Children of Immigrants
This study examined the connection between adolescent employment and future participation in postsecondary education in a sample of U.S. Latino high school juniors/seniors (n = 2164) from the 1992–2002 Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study. Employed and non-employed Latino adolescents did not markedly differ in academic performance, ability, or expectations, suggesting that, for U.S. Latino adolescents, employment may depend on the degree of …
Rethinking practice with multicultural communities
Social work recognizes “the power and possibility of story” (Burack-Weiss, Lawrence, & Mijangos, 2017). We listen to our clients’ personal narratives and establish relationships with them. But the
A call for action
This study examines the need for a culturally prepared social workforce to serve the nation’s largest minority group and provides recommendations to address this burgeoning issue. Using the same goal of population parity established by the 2007 Task Force on Latinos in Social Work Education, the authors (a) present an update on Latinxs presence in social work programs, (b) propose a theoretical framework and a conceptual paradigm to prepare futur…
Introduction
Achieving Equal Opportunity and Justice for All, including Latinx communities, is one of the Grand Challenges of the American Academy of Social Work & Social Welfare. This is an opportunity that Social Work is well equipped to lead from its assets-based approach to research and practice. Such a systemic transformation can be attained through innovative programs that prepare bilingual, bicultural social workers to lead our profession on how to bes…
A Call to Action
In the decade leading up to 2012, approximately 8,000 Unaccompanied Minors (UAM) arrived annually at the Southwestern border of the United States. Since then, the number of arrivals has drastically increased, surpassing 14,000 between October 1, 2017 and January 31, 2018 alone. The needs of UAM concerning mental health, education, social, and legal counseling often differ from the needs of other Latinx and immigrant populations. However, recent i…
Expanding the Happiness Paradox
Findings suggest that the "happiness paradox" may not only be a matter of Hispanic ethnicity, but that it may also extend to immigrants from other ethnoracial backgrounds
I Don’t Belong Anymore
As undocumented Latino immigrants transition into adulthood, they also transition into illegality. They move from a somewhat protected status under which they had access to education and other social benefits, to the more vulnerable category of undocumented adults without access to social rights. How undocumented immigrants’ interactions with social services contribute to the formation of their ethnic identity and feelings of belonging to the Uni…
Obamacare in action
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) aimed to reduce stark health inequalities by providing universal health insurance to all Americans and long-term authorised immigrants. Later regulations, however, gave the 50 U.S. states latitude to choose the degree of coverage for their constituencies. In this paper, we explore how interactions with these diverse systems of care contribute to the incorporation of immigrants into America, especially among the most …
Another Paradox? The Life Satisfaction of Older Hispanic Immigrants in the United States
Although older Hispanic immigrants had the least amount of socioeconomic resources of all groups in our study, they were the most satisfied with their lives. Possible explanations and directions for future research are discussed
Disparities in Quality of Healthcare of Children from Immigrant Families in the US
Refugee Health and Wellbeing
Refugees are increasingly migrating to urban areas, but little research has been conducted to compare health and wellbeing outcomes of urban refugees with those based in camps. This analytic cross-sectional study investigated differences in health-related quality of life (QoL) for urban and camp-based refugees in sub-Saharan Africa, and assessed the influences of both the environment and the perceived environment on refugees’ health-related QoL u…
Racial/ethnic differences in post-migration education among adult immigrants in the USA
Despite the extensive scholarly interest in racial/ethnic differences in education among immigrants in the USA, limited research has examined the determinants of racial/ethnic gaps in post-migration adult education. Most immigrants, however, move to the USA as young adults, when education is decisive in shaping their incorporation. We use the National Household Education Survey (NHES) to examine whether pre-migration human capital and post-migrat…
The Effect of Universal Service Delivery on the Integration of Moroccan Immigrants in Spain
The ‘progressive's dilemma’ questions the ability of public social services to facilitate the integration of immigrants into modern welfare states. The rationale is that majority groups react negatively towards minorities when they perceive their prerogatives threatened, which creates a backlash against immigrants' integration. In this article, we argue that universal social services, as opposed to means-tested programmes, can help to overcome th…
