“He Came Out, and He Did This”
Hope is central to the development of a strengths-based approach to understanding the lived experiences of formerly incarcerated Black men, given that the disproportionate and negative impact of the criminal legal system appears to overshadow the possibilities during reentry. Through qualitative interviews, we explored formerly incarcerated Black men’s conceptualization of hope using an abductive approach and thematic analysis. Moving between Sny…
Multilevel Determinants of HIV Prevention Among Urban Refugee Youth in Uganda
While urban refugee youth face HIV vulnerabilities spanning socio-ecological levels, knowledge gaps persist in HIV prevention outcomes. We conducted a baseline analysis of a cohort enrolled in Tushirikiane-4-Uthabiti, an intervention focused on HIV testing practices among urban refugee youth aged 16-24 in Kampala, Uganda (N = 330). Using regression models, we examined the societal, community, and interpersonal factors associated with condom use s…
Urban, formerly incarcerated, black, heterosexual men with substance use disorders
Research on incarcerated men indicates low PrEP access even though HIV disproportionately affects them. Intersecting attributes – urban, incarcerated, Black, heterosexual men with substance use diagnoses (SUDs) – improves the odds of HIV transmission/acquisition. It is crucial to determine, among “key populations,” who might be eligible to take PrEP. PrEP eligibility criteria have been used inconsistently in research. This exploratory, quantitati…
Medical Trustworthiness and Covid-19
Disinvested Black communities in the US exhibit the highest levels of skepticism about the trustworthiness of medical institutions due to historical and ongoing structural racism, which the COVID-19 pandemic further exposed. Black individuals experienced a COVID-19 mortality rate 3.60 times higher than their white counterparts. This study investigates the mediating role of medical distrust between health beliefs and vaccine uptake among residents…
Without Critical Consciousness, How Could you Move on?” Qualitative Assessments of an Intervention to Reduce Substance Use Among Formerly Incarcerated Men
Background People with a history of substance use disorder who live in marginalized communities (e.g., large minoritized populations, low income, high crime rates) endure disproportionately high incarceration rates, premature death, and infectious disease incidence. Individuals released from incarceration often return to marginalized communities burdened by socially and structurally determined health inequities. Interventions grounded in critical…
Promoting radical healing to facilitate community capacity building among formerly incarcerated Black and Latino men with substance use disorders
This study reports on a qualitative thematic analysis of secondary data from group session recordings collected as part of the Community Wise Optimization Trial. Community Wise is a multilevel behavioral intervention designed to increase critical consciousness and reduce substance use among formerly incarcerated men living in predominantly Black and historically disinvested communities (BHDC). Radical healing is a process of recovering from the t…
Critical Consciousness Measure Development and Testing
Critical consciousness is the ability to identify inequity, appraise its impact, and act toward transforming unjust systems. The current study presents initial psychometric testing of the Critical Consciousness Measure (CCM). Following community-based participatory research principles, a community board conducted the study. Secondary baseline data was analyzed from a randomized controlled trial with 602 formerly incarcerated men with histories of…
Critical Dialogue and Capacity-Building Projects Reduced Alcohol and Substance Use in a Randomized Clinical Trial Among Formerly Incarcerated Men
Background: Rates of alcohol and/or substance use (ASU) among residents of predominantly Black and marginalized communities are similar to ASU rates in White communities. Yet ASU has worse consequences in predominantly Black and marginalized communities (e.g., higher incarceration). Objective: We randomized participants to one of 16 intervention conditions using a 24 full factorial design to optimize a multilevel intervention reducing ASU among 6…
Policies to reduce child poverty and child maltreatment
Participation in Critical Dialogues With Illustrative Images Increases Knowledge About Covid-19 Prevention
This intervention study uses community-based participatory research (CBPR) and longitudinal design to examine changes in COVID-19 prevention knowledge over time (3 time points) among racially minoritized participants ( n = 38). The intervention comprised critical dialogues alongside an illustration used to engage participants in conversations about socioeconomic conditions affecting acquisition of COVID-19 knowledge. Quantitative data showed that…
Longitudinal changes in the county-level relationship between opioid prescriptions and child maltreatment reports, United States, 2009–2018
This article examines whether county opioid prescription rates were associated with county child maltreatment report (CMR) rates in the United States and whether this relationship changed over time. We linked multiple national data sets to assemble retail opioid prescription data, CMR data, rural-urban codes (to control for urbanicity), and census data (to control for other community characteristics, such as poverty rates) covering 2009-2018. Mul…
Reflections From Academic Mothers of Young Children on Social Work Research and Education
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound societal impact with unprecedented impact on women’s labor force participation, including among academic mothers. Yet, persistent gendered and racialized inequities in academia remain structurally unaddressed, including in social work. We believe that as social work educators we are well-positioned to develop an academic culture that helps us refocus on what matters most; redefine excellence in teaching, s…
Linking critical consciousness and health
The CR_SDH is a standardized measure that can assess critical reflection about the impact of SDH on health among providers and consumers of health care. The CR_SDH can be used to identify critical reflection related training needs and inform decisions about development and testing of critical reflection related health interventions and health care policy
The Critical Dialogue Cornerstone
There has been an increased focus on utilizing critical consciousness-focused interventions to address complex, multidimensional socio-cultural problems, particularly health inequities. These interventions usually incorporate a critical dialogue component. However, there's little guidance on how to implement, facilitate and evaluate critical dialogue to develop critical consciousness (i.e., reflecting and acting on sociopolitical inequities). Thi…
Testing a digitally distributed method to recruit a network of community organizations to fight the consequences of the drug epidemic
To mitigate the opioid epidemic, a concerted effort to educate, prevent, diagnose, treat, and engage residents is required. In this study, a digitally distributed method to form a large network of organizations was tested with 99 counties in regions with high vulnerability to hepatitis C virus (HCV). The method involved a cascade of contacts going from email to phone calls, to videoconferencing and measuring the number of contacts required, amoun…
Community Wise
Communities with histories of oppression have shown great resilience. Yet few health interventions focus on structural oppression as a contributor to health problems in these communities. This paper describes the development and active ingredients of Community Wise, a unique behavioral-health intervention designed to reduce substance use frequency, related health risk behaviors, and recidivism among individuals with a history of incarceration and…
Using Concept Mapping in Community-Based Participatory Research
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) has been identified as a useful approach to increasing community involvement in research. Developing rigorous methods in conducting CBPR is an important step in gaining more support for this approach. The current article argues that concept mapping, a structured mixed methods approach, is useful in the initial development of a rigorous CBPR program of research aiming to develop culturally tailored and…
Surviving Oppression under the Rock
Drawing on standpoint and intersectionality theories, this study explores the degree to which interactions among New York State's Rockefeller Drug Laws and educational and welfare policies have contributed to the maintenance of a culture of surveillance in which the lives of impoverished African Americans are overseen and influenced by oppressive policies and governmental institutions. Qualitative secondary analysis of longitudinal ethnographic d…
From the Individual to the Community
This paper argues that substance abuse interventions in distressed African-American communities must be culturally-tailored and incorporate a framework targeting changes in both individual behavior and the community. The current study employed Concept Mapping in conjunction with Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) principles to involve 100 community members, substance users, and service providers to examine the role of alcohol and other…
Dimensions of Oppression in the Lives of Impoverished Black Women Who Use Drugs
Oppression against Black women continues to be a significant problem in the United States. The purpose of this study is to use grounded theory to identify multiple dimensions of oppression experienced by impoverished Black women who use drugs by examining several settings in which participants experience oppression. Three case studies of drug using, impoverished Black women were randomly selected from two large scale consecutive ethnographic stud…
What is Substance Use About? Assumptions in New York's Drug Policies and the Perceptions of African Americans Who are Low-Income and Using Drugs
The current article uses intersectionality and standpoint theories to examine the social impact of solely relying on Eurocentric worldviews when developing drug policies that affect low-income African American communities. It is argued that low-income African Americans share a unique cultural and historical background that must be taken into account in the development and implementation of policies and interventions that effect this population. A…
Challenging Controlling Images, Oppression, Poverty, and Other Structural Constraints
The Four P s of Publishing
Since the 1990s, the field of social work has placed substantial value on social work research. As a result, publishing has become an important aspect of contributing to the social work field. While encouragement for faculty to publish may vary across settings, publication has not traditionally been expected of doctoral students. The purpose of this article is to demystify the publication process and to encourage doctoral students to produce publ…
Homeless Youth
Distinguishing between causes and consequences of youth homelessness is often difficult. Characteristics may have existed prior to youths' leaving home, likely contributing to their running away, or may develop once the youths become immersed in "street culture." Owing to these complexities, characteristics and contributing factors associated with youth homelessness often intersect. Homeless youths' diverse backgrounds and experiences, including …
Systematic Assessment of Culturally Competent Chemical Dependence Treatment Services for African Americans
This project aimed to develop a tool for assessing and planning culturally competent and relevant chemical dependence treatment services for African American clients and their families. Focus groups were conducted with experts in African American culture and chemical dependence in eight substance abuse programs serving adult and adolescent African Americans and their families. Seventy-five statements were developed describing characteristics of c…

Research Note Keeping Families Engaged
Engagement of high-risk adolescents and their families in treatment is a considerable challenge for service providers and agencies. Despite its importance, little research has been conducted that explores this important treatment process. To address this gap, a test of an innovative method to improve engagement in family therapy was undertaken. Findings of this study of 42 intervention group families and 41 comparison group families (N=83) sugges…
Deconstructing Racial Democracy
Although considerable work has been done about racial democracy in Brazil, scant information is available regarding the mechanisms by which social conditioning related to the myth of racial democracy is reproduced among those in power. In order to better understand race relations in Brazil, we must include perceptions of those who are in power. I was born and raised by a white, privileged family in a traditional Brazilian state. My family comes f…
