Patterns of service needs and use by subgroups of youth experiencing homelessness
Introduction: Service use predicts exit from homelessness and improvements in physical and mental health among youth experiencing homelessness (YEH). However, service use among YEH remains low. This study uniquely examined youths' reported needs and patterns of service use during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Baseline data were examined from a large opioid prevention project conducted in a midwestern, service-rich metropolitan area. Y…

Youth experiencing homelessness at risk for suicide
Understanding the needs of youth experiencing homelessness who are at risk for suicide is critical to developing interventions to alleviate their risk for suicide. Given that the use of medical and mental health care is low among this population, more active outreach strategies may be warranted to deliver prevention interventions
Assessing perspectives on an intervention connecting adolescents in outpatient psychiatry care to contraceptive counseling in the United States
This study demonstrates the acceptability of connecting adolescents in outpatient psychiatry care to contraceptive counseling and informs the refinement and implementation of Link2BC. Integrating contraception counseling in outpatient psychiatry settings is an innovative approach to prevent unintended pregnancy among adolescents by increasing access to SRH care services

The Status of Implementation Research in Exit and Post-Exit Human Trafficking Interventions in Sub-Saharan Africa
Conservative estimates place the number of individuals affected by human trafficking in the sub-Saharan African region at close to nine million. While there has been growing attention paid to innovative prevalence estimation approaches, and development of evidence-based interventions in the region, literature examining how these interventions are adapted, implemented, and delivered across multiple sectors, populations, and geo-political settings …

Feasibility of engaging child welfare-involved parents with substance use disorders in research
Child welfare-involved parents provide an important perspective on service needs and program impact. Similar to other vulnerable and hard-to-reach populations, challenges exist to engaging child welfare-involved parents in community-based research and evaluation. This case study reviews recruitment and data collection strategies for effectively engaging child welfare-involved parents with substance use disorders in a survey to evaluate the Ohio S…
Using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research to examine implementation determinants of specialty mental health probation
BACKGROUND: Specialty mental health probation (SMHP) is designed to improve outcomes for the large number of people with serious mental illnesses who are on probation and/or parole. The evidence for specialty mental health probation is promising; however, little is known about the implementation challenges and facilitators associated with SMHP. To address this gap, we used the consolidated framework for implementation research (CFIR) to analyze 2…
Identifying and addressing parental trauma and behavioral health need
Parents involved with the child welfare system often have been exposed to traumatic events throughout their lives and have behavioral health service needs. Although connecting parents to trauma-informed behavioral health care has potential to reduce the risk of recurring maltreatment, limited research has focused on child welfare system capacity to respond to parents’ needs in a trauma-informed way. Based on a quantitative survey and secondary an…
Caregiver engagement in the behavioral health screening and assessment for child welfare-involved children
Caregivers are frequent sources of information of their children’s behavioral health and other service needs. It is particularly challenging to engage child welfare-involved caregivers who risk losing custody of their children. This case study explores how caregivers who were about to lose custody of their children engage in their children’s behavioral health screening and assessment from the perspective of child welfare and behavioral health wor…
Child welfare caseworkers' perspectives on the challenges of addressing mental health problems in early childhood
Building Service Delivery Networks
Meeting the complex needs of youth with behavioral health problems requires a coordinated network of community-based agencies. Although fiscal scarcity or retrenchment can limit coordinated services, munificence can stimulate service delivery partnerships as agencies expand programs, hire staff, and spend more time coordinating services. This study examines the 2-year evolution of referral and staff expertise sharing networks in response to subst…

Under What Conditions Does Caseworker-Caregiver Racial/Ethnic Similarity Matter for Housing Service Provision? An Application of Representative Bureaucracy Theory
In this article, we examine child welfare caseworkers' housing-related service strategies when they serve culturally similar versus culturally dissimilar clients. Testing hypotheses drawn from representative bureaucracy theory and using data from the second cohort of the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being, we find that when non-Caucasian caseworkers share the same racial/ethnic background as caregivers, caseworkers use more active…

A Compilation of Strategies for Implementing Clinical Innovations in Health and Mental Health
Efforts to identify, develop, refine, and test strategies to disseminate and implement evidence-based treatments have been prioritized in order to improve the quality of health and mental health care delivery. However, this task is complicated by an implementation science literature characterized by inconsistent language use and inadequate descriptions of implementation strategies. This article brings more depth and clarity to implementation rese…
Facilitating mental health service use for caregivers
Defining Service Coordination
To address fragmentation, social workers are encouraged to "coordinate." This pilot study explores the meaning of, and factors that facilitate or prevent "coordination" and is intended as a first step toward future conceptual refinement, theory development, and system interventions. Using data from treatment guidelines archived by the National Guideline Clearinghouse (n=9) and semi-structured interviews with social workers (n=4), themes related t…
Child Welfare Workers' Connectivity to Resources and Youth's Receipt of Services
Youth involved in the child welfare system are at high risk for mental illness, substance abuse, and other behavioral health issues, which child welfare workers are expected to address through referrals. Child welfare workers (N=27) who participated in Project IMPROVE (Intervention for Multisector Provider Enhancement) reported on services they provided to youth (N=307) in their caseloads. Using survey and administrative data, this paper examines…
