Preventing Suicide Among Working-Age Adults
We aimed to identify the correlates with not seeking help among working-age adults with suicidal ideation. By adapting the integrated model of suicide help-seeking, we examined help-seeking behavior in the following 3 stages: problem recognition, decision to seek help, and sources of help. We used a sample of working-age adults between 26 and 64 years old, who reported suicidal ideation in the past year (N = 1414). Data were drawn from the 2011 a…

Food swamps and food deserts in Baltimore City, MD, USA
Objective To determine whether living in a food swamp (≥4 corner stores within 0·40 km (0·25 miles) of home) or a food desert (generally, no supermarket or access to healthy foods) is associated with consumption of snacks/desserts or fruits/vegetables, and if neighbourhood-level socio-economic status (SES) confounds relationships. Design Cross-sectional. Assessments included diet (Youth/Adolescent FFQ, skewed dietary variables normalized) and mea…
A confirmatory factor analysis of the evidence-based practice attitudes scale in child welfare
The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale
Factor Structure and Validity of the K6 Scale for Adults With Suicidal Ideation
Objective: This study examines the factor structure and utility of the K6 psychological distress scale for adults with suicidal ideation. Method: The sample, drawn from the 2011 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, consists of 2,098 adults age 18 years or older who reported suicidal ideation. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) were conducted to test the single-factor (psychological distress), 2-factor (depression and anxiety), and second-order…
Construct Validity and Factor Structure of Survey-based Assessment of Cost-related Medication Burden
BACKGROUND: Millions of Americans are burdened by out-of-pocket prescription costs. Although many survey measures have been developed to assess this burden, the construct validity and the factor structure of these instruments have not been rigorously assessed. OBJECTIVES: To characterize the factor structure and the construct validity of items assessing cost-related medication burden. METHODS: We applied exploratory factor and confirmatory factor…
Validation of the Parenting Stress Index–Short Form With Minority Caregivers
The PSI-SF could be integrated as part of screening and intake assessment procedures, which could allow social work practitioners to make more informed decisions about treatment planning, as well as facilitate conversations with caregivers around identifying sources of stress and developing healthy coping strategies
Factor Structure of Adoptive Parent-Child Relationship Items From the National Study of Adoptive Parents
This study examines the factor structure of 8 questions regarding parent and adopted child relationships from the National Study of Adoptive Parents (NSAP). The study sample consists of 2,089 adoptive parents whose adopted child is between the 6 months and 17 years of age. The sample was randomly split into two groups to conduct exploratory and confirmatory analyses. An exploratory factor analysis conducted on the first subsample (n = 1,045) yiel…
Quality Guidelines for Social Work PhD Programs
The Group for the Advancement of Doctoral Educationin Social Work (GADE) adopted a new version of quality guidelines for PhD social work programs at its annual meeting in April 2013. These guidelines are reprinted in this article, together with a discussion of the context in which they were developed and approved. They are offered with the aim of advancing excellence in research-focused doctoral education and continuing the decades-long conversat…
An Examination of the Tripartite Model of Anxiety and Depression in an Outpatient Sample of Adolescents
Anxiety and depressive disorders are the most common mental health problems for adolescents; understanding their etiology and course is necessary for developing effective prevention and treatment programs. The tripartite model of anxiety and depression was evaluated in a random, clinical sample of 185 adolescents, with an average age of 15.09 years (SD = 1.9), with 58.4% males (n = 108). Survey packets were mailed to participants (61% response ra…
Measuring Migratory Grief and Loss Associated With the Experience of Immigration
Objectives: The Migratory Grief and Loss Questionnaire (MGLQ) was designed to measure the grief experience associated with immigration. This article reports the development and psychometric properties of a Chinese-version of MGLQ. Methods: An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) using maximum likelihood extraction with varimax rotation was conducted to identify the factor structure of the MGLQ. Results: A two-factor solution was identified with Fact…
The Nurturant Fathering Scale
Objective: The objective of this study was to test the factor structure of the Nurturant Fathering Scale (NFS) among an African American sample in the mid-Atlantic region that have neither Caribbean heritage nor immigration experiences but who do have diverse family structures (N = 212). Method: A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted in order to evaluate the factor structure of the NFS. Results: A final, 8-item model, with two error c…
Confirmatory Factor Analysis
Measures that are reliable, valid, and can be used across diverse populations are vital to social work research, but the development of new measures is an expensive and time-consuming process. An array of existing measures can provide a cost-effective alternative, but in order to take this expedient step with confidence, researchers must ensure that the existing measure is appropriate for the new study. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) is one o…
Hierarchies of Ethical Principles for Ethical Decision Making in Social Work
Social workers frequently encounter ethical dilemmas in their daily practice. This paper examines the utility of hierarchies of ethical principles as tools for ethical decision making. Because of limited research on this topic, the degree of agreement on ordering of ethical principles is unknown. This paper presents illustrative data that suggest variability in individual hierarchies and priorities, which may depend on the circumstances of a situ…

The Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale (STSS)
The Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale (STSS; Bride, Robinson, Yegidis, & Figley, 2004) is an easy to administer 17-itemself-report measure of secondary trauma. Bride et al. (2004) reported a measure of three domains of traumatic stress specifically associated with secondary exposure to trauma: intrusion, avoidance, and arousal. The STSS was reported to have high levels of internal consistency reliability and indicated evidence of convergent, discr…
Prevalence of and Reactions to Fatal and Nonfatal Client Suicidal Behavior
A majority of mental health social workers come in contact with suicidal clients during their career. As a result, social workers may experience high levels of stress that can ultimately impact their quality of and ability to practice. The present study examined the prevalence of fatal and nonfatal client suicidal behavior experienced by mental health social workers and examined their subsequent reactions. A random national sample of 697 mental h…

Child neglect
Relationships among neglect and child and family characteristics were examined in a sample of 121 urban, low-income families with a child under 30 months. Maternal reports of more difficult child temperament predicted emotional neglect; family context was indirectly related, as mothers in well functioning families with more support reported their children as being less difficult. Neither child temperament nor family context was related to physica…
