Recovery Capital Is Associated with a Greater Likelihood of Niaaa-Defined Recovery for Adults with Prior Alcohol Problems
Background: The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) finalized a definition of alcohol use disorder (AUD) recovery requiring (1) remission from DSM-5 AUD symptoms except craving and (2) cessation of heavy drinking. The literature suggests that recovery capital, which encapsulates the resources that influence substance use recovery, is an important determinant of AUD recovery outcomes. However, little research has examined po…
Preliminary estimates of recovery capital growth in early and middle stages
As the recovery capital framework emerges, we still know little about growth rates in early- and middle-stage recovery. This study aimed to: 1) hypothesize recovery capital growth trajectories via graphical representations employing fitted lines and curves; and 2) generate preliminary recovery capital growth estimates through statistical models that predict monthly and yearly growth in recovery capital scores. We used the Multidimensional Invento…
Housing for care, connection, and health equity
Faceless, nameless, invisible
Media coverage plays an important role in shaping public opinion and approaching solutions to homelessness in the United States and beyond. Scant prior research has shown that stories often highlight individual rather than structural causes and solutions to the issue, while also perpetuating anti-homelessness stigma and stereotypes. However, few studies have looked specifically at the role of photography in media stories about homelessness. In th…
Managing Health Without Stable Housing
Although chronic health conditions and homelessness are prevalent problems in the United States and globally, little research has used the lens of burden of treatment theory to examine the experiences of people facing these challenges simultaneously. This study aimed to illuminate dimensions of treatment burden, which refers to the work of being a patient with chronic conditions, and patient capacity to manage this burden in a sample of people ex…
Convergence of community social work practice, collective impact, and design thinking
Social workers engage with marginalized communities impacted by challenges that are intensely complex and dynamic. This necessitates designing strategies and interventions that are sustainable, effective, nonduplicative and collaborative across systems and organizations. This article aims to provide a synthesis of three frameworks that can intersect to facilitate systems-level change: community practice, collective impact, and design thinking. Ea…
To change what we cannot accept
Although an extensive body of research examines the implications of climate change for various aspects of human health, little conceptual or empirical work has focused on how climate change may affect addiction recovery. This paper addresses this gap by identifying probable pathways through which climate change may impact recovery, drawing on environmental, public health, and recovery research. Applying the theory of recovery capital, I outline t…
Qualitative insights in item development for a comprehensive and inclusive measure of recovery capital
The high degree of alteration to the item pool highlights the importance of establishing validity with respondents. Response variation based on recovery pathway suggests the need for broad heterogeneity in respondents. Measures that are sensitive, psychometrically sound, and aligned with theory are critical for advancing research on recovery capital and related disparities for diverse populations
That's got me to where I am today’
Substance use and associated fatalities are disproportionately experienced by rural communities, where there is an urgent need to understand and facilitate the recovery process. The concept of social capital is a critical one for recovery from a substance use disorder, even more so for individuals living in rural communities who experience unique social connection barriers. This study used Consensual Qualitative Research methodology to analyze da…

The COVID-19 pandemic has sped up the pace of the digital transition process in which we have been immersed.In a context of generalized lockdown, our organizations have been forced to go digital and many of the activities social workers perform must now be done remotely.As a result, e-social work, or digital social work, has gone from being an emerging specialization to a critical specialty across organizations and activities.In this article, we …
Toward Many Emerging Adulthoods
Although it is widely acknowledged that emerging adulthood is experienced differently by various groups, few studies have directly examined the theoretical features of emerging adulthood in vulnerable subpopulations of low-income young people in the United States. This study addressed this gap by exploring the salience of the five features proposed in emerging adulthood theory—identity exploration, instability, feeling in-between, sense of self-f…

Integrating Trauma-Informed Care and Collective Impact
Objective: Organizations have adopted trauma-informed care (TIC) to guide service provision for vulnerable populations. There is little research, however, on TIC in cross-system collaborations. The collective impact (CI) framework offers insight into cross-system collaboration, but there are few studies on CI, and none have examined it in relationship to TIC. This paper proposes the use of an aligned TIC and CI framework and presents findings fro…

Evaluating the Impact of In-Home Behavioral Health Services on Housing First Residents' Emergency Room and Inpatient Utilization
Individuals experiencing chronic homelessness are highly marginalized and frequently access acute healthcare services. This program evaluation used secondary data collected from adults experiencing chronic homelessness (n=133) who participated in a Housing First program offering in-home behavioral health services within a large Midwestern city. Participant demographics (e.g., gender, race, age) and data on health factors (e.g., substance misuse a…
Trauma and principles of trauma-informed care in the U.S. federal legislative response to the opioid epidemic
Our analysis found limited attention to trauma in opioid-related federal legislation. Based on these findings and following the example of coalitions such as the Campaign for Trauma-Informed Policy and Practice, advocates can mobilize for better inclusion of trauma-informed principles in opioid policy. Further, this study demonstrates the feasibility of applying the trauma-informed policy analysis framework to code Congressional policies using pu…

Trauma and the structuring of complex care
Trauma-Informed Social Policy
Trauma-informed care is a service provision model used across a range of practice settings. Drawing on an extensive body of research on trauma (broadly defined as experiences that produce enduring emotional pain and distress) and health outcomes, we have argued that the principles of trauma-informed care can be extended to social policy. Citing a variety of health-related policy examples, we have described how policy can better reflect 6 core pri…
