Stories from Former Foster Youth College Graduates
Youth in foster care face disproportionate challenges when it comes to education and personal well-being. Many studies use a deficit lens when evaluating these challenges. In contrast, this study is asset-based, centering first-person accounts from five former foster youth college graduates. Using a counter-narrative framework, we conducted semi-structured interviews with participants to reveal key supports in K-12 schooling participants believed…

Pathways from parent substance misuse to child and adolescent trauma
Improving child behavior through parent training in child welfare services
Behavioral parent training programs, such as Pathways Triple P (Level 5 of the Triple P parent support and training system, hereafter referred to as Pathways), have been shown to improve child behavior. However, Pathways has not been tested with a child welfare services (CWS) population. A mixed-methods, randomized control trial was conducted to examine its effectiveness with CWS-involved families. The sample included parents investigated for mal…
Attitudes and Alcohol Use
Objective: This study examined pathways from childhood experiences of violence (i.e., physically and sexually violent victimization and experiences with parental intimate partner violence) to dating violence perpetration through attitudes toward violence and alcohol use among U.S. college students. Method: We used a subset of heterosexual U.S. college students (N = 3,375) collected by convenience sampling from the cross-sectional International Da…
Mechanisms of Deterrence
In this commentary, we highlight the US government’s proposed changes to the Flores Settlement Agreement, a federal legal settlement from the 1990s that ensures that child welfare principles are applied to immigrant children. We describe how Flores should be understood as mitigating child trauma by ensuring a baseline standard of treatment of immigrant children. We outline how children experience trauma throughout the migration course and argue t…
Harsh physical punishment as a mediator between income, re-reports and out-of-home placement in a child protective services-involved population
Types of stressors and bullying perpetration among female adolescents in Korea
Research concerning bullying among female adolescents in Korea remains extremely limited. This study examined the impact of three different types of stressors (family stress, friendship stress, and school stress) on bullying perpetration among Korean female adolescents. Five middle schools were randomly selected from 11 schools in Pyeongtaek, Korea. Participants in the study were 374 female students in 7–9th grade. A linear regression analysis ba…
Treatment Access Barriers and Disparities Among Individuals with Co-Occurring Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders
Project STRONG
While grant writing is critical for substance abuse organizations in the face of limited resources and mounting accountability pressures, no capacity-building models exist for social workers to use as they aim to promote organizational capacity development in this area. This article offers a promising capacity-building model—Project STRONG—designed to improve the grant writing capacity of substance abuse organizations. Feasibility findings of an …

Using data from the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being II (NSCAW II), this article examines the impact of caregiver substance abuse on children's exposure to violence in the home in a nationally representative sample of families involved with child protective services (CPS). Logistic regression analyses indicate an increased risk of witnessing mild and severe violence in the home for children whose primary caregiver was abusing al…
