Characteristics of Parents Who Spent Time Away from Home During Stay-at-Home Orders and Relation to Parenting Behaviors in Ohio
System Failures and the Realities of “Reform”: A Practical Understanding of Decision-Making in Child Welfare
How exactly is the child welfare system failing children? Abolitionist perspectives have centered the failures and harms inherent to and reproduced by the system. Despite voicing disagreement with abolition as a path forward, advocates/proponents of reform have not done the painstaking work of analyzing failures of the system itself. We begin to address this gap by examining the persistent phenomenon of critical thinking errors in child welfare, …

Does parent report of child physical abuse and supervisory neglect differ by method of study recruitment or mode of survey administration

Some modes of administration may result in higher disclosure rates of child maltreatment by respondents. This study assesses differences in characteristics of parents who are recruited using telephone sampling techniques or via the internet and whether the survey was administered by telephone or the web. We have 1599 pare…

Parenting in poor health: Examining associations between parental health, prescription drug use, and child maltreatment
Poor health and prescription drug use are not uncommon and present largely under-recognized risk factors for a spectrum of adverse parenting outcomes. Our study provides additional evidence that parents in poor health are at heightened risk of negative parenting, and need targeted intervention supports to support family well-being
Understanding at-the-moment stress for parents during Covid-19 stay-at-home restrictions
Understanding the Role of Parental Opiate or Marijuana Use in Child Welfare Substantiation Decisions
Parental drug misuse is a risk factor that child welfare workers must consider during investigations of alleged maltreatment. Little is known, however about how workers view substance use, particularly for substances like marijuana and prescription opioids which are used legally in some circumstances but not in others. Qualitative data from a mixed-methods web-based survey of 562 workers in child welfare-related fields were used to examine the wa…

Social Work Matters: Californians’ Perceptions of Social Welfare
This article reports on findings from a representative survey of Californians (N = 946) and their perception of social work and its professionals. Analysis of the survey data indicates that the public holds a generally positive view of social work and its "helping" nature, although social work is considered one of the least prestigious professions. Respondents primarily associated social work with child protection and behavioral health roles, and…

Sources of Perceived School Connection Among Ethnically-Diverse Urban Adolescents
Adolescents' perceived connection to school has been consistently associated with positive development across a range of domains, with strongest evidence for the quality of student-adult relationships in school as a core factor. Using a purposive sample of 32 high seniors from 9 urban schools who had participated in a quantitative study 5 years prior, this multimethod study examines the experiences that promote or undermine these adolescents' fee…
Sociological Theories of Poverty in Urban America
Since the 1950s, American sociologists have developed a substantial literature on poverty in urban American communities. This literature review examines some of these sociological theories of poverty and identifies four major explanations of urban poverty: social stratification, (including segregation and racism); lack of access to social capital; cultural and value norms; and social policies. The literature review concludes with a conceptual fra…
