Involving incarcerated individuals in the research process: Perspectives of key stakeholders
Given the considerable potential for participatory action research in correctional settings, this study gathered stakeholders’ perspectives on involving adults in custody throughout the research process. Using mixed methods, the study identified participants’ level of interest in involving prisoners in the research process to inform educational efforts to increase correctional participatory action research. Qualitative data were gathered from 94 …
Key Stakeholders’ Perceptions of Motivators for Research Participation Among Individuals Who Are Incarcerated
Understanding motivations of research participants is crucial for developing ethical research protocols, especially for research with vulnerable populations. Through interviews with 92 institutional review board members, prison administrators, research ethicists, and researchers, we explored key stakeholders' perceptions of what motivates incarcerated individuals to participate in research. Primary motivators identified were a desire to contribut…

PURPOSE: Health care providers face challenges in rural service delivery due to the unique circumstances of rural living. The intersection of rural living and health care challenges can create barriers to care that providers may not be trained to navigate, resulting in burnout and high turnover. Through the exploration of experienced rural providers' knowledge and lessons learned, this study sought to inform future practitioners, educators, and p…
Receiver Operating Characteristics for the Brief Symptom Inventory Depression, Paranoid Ideation, and Psychoticism Scales in a Large Sample of Clinical Inpatients
A commonly used screening tool for psychopathology, the Brief Symptom Inventory, provides normative data for assessing current mental functioning across multiple domains. Using data from 654 psychiatric inpatients, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were conducted for three scales, Depression, Paranoid Ideation, and Psychoticism. t ratios identified significant group differences on the Depression scale between patients diagnosed wit…
When Providers and Patients Come from Different Backgrounds: Perceived Value of Additional Training on Ethical Care Practices
Fostering the therapeutic alliance, safeguarding confidentiality, gaining informed consent, and enhancing treatment adherence are critical aspects of patient care. We examined whether multidisciplinary health care providers perceive additional training on these areas as helpful in their work with patients from different ethnic backgrounds than the provider. Data are drawn from a National Institute on Drug Abuse-funded survey of 1555 providers in …

Study 1 had 219 injection drug users and crack cocaine smokers. Study 2 had 259 injection drug users and crack cocaine smokers. Study 3 had data from 17,408 injection drug users and crack cocaine smokers. When the question 'Have you ever been told that you were infect…
Ethical Disparities: Challenges Encountered by Multidisciplinary Providers in Fulfilling Ethical Standards in the Care of Rural and Minority People
Context: Health care disparities are well documented for people living in rural areas and for people who are members of ethnic minorities. Purpose: Our goal was to determine whether providers report greater difficulty in providing care for rural than urban residents and for ethnic minorities than patients/clients in general in 4 practice areas of ethical relevance: attaining treatment adherence, assuring confidentiality, establishing therapeutic …
Survey Return Rates as a Function of Priority versus First-Class Mailing
Prior research indicates survey procedures that signal significance and individualized mailings have higher response rates. Thus, it was hypothesized that surveys delivered via Priority mail would result in higher return rates than surveys delivered via First-Class. 260 surveys were sent to individuals randomly selected from lists of licensed physical and behavioral healthcare providers in Alaska and New Mexico. Half of the selected individuals w…
Ethical Considerations in Rural Health Care: A Pilot Study of Clinicians in Alaska and New Mexico
Homelessness Among Out-of-Treatment Drug Users in Long Beach, CA
Two studies were conducted to determine the reliability of measures of homelessness (Study 1), and to use these measures to predict homelessness from data collected over a 1O-year period (Study 2). For Study 1, to determine test-retest reliability, the Risk Behavior Assessment (REA; National Institute on Drug Abuse, 1991) was administered twice within a 48-hour period. Cohen’s kappa was calculated at .86 for the two REA measures of homelessness. …

The sample consisted of 714 college students who responded to the Homophobia Attitude Scale (HAS) and personality trait scales. Results revealed that women endorsed fewer homophobic attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors than men and that age was negatively correlated with homoph…

Reliability of Drug Users' Self-Reported HIV Risk Behaviors and Validity of Self-Reported Recent Drug Use
This study examined the reliability and validity of the Risk Behavior Assessment, a structured interview questionnaire designed to evaluate drug use and sexual HIV risk behaviors. Participants were 218 drug users currently not in treatment who completed the RBA two times over a 48-hour period and gave urine samples on both occasions. We examined internal consistency and test-retest reliability and found that, overall, drug users reliably report d…
Spirituality and Religiosity: Relative Relationships to Death Anxiety
To assess the relative contributions of spirituality and religiosity to levels of death anxiety, the Templer Death Anxiety Scale (TDAS) [1] and the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS) [2] were administered to 134 female and seventy-four male undergraduate college students. Results of a stepwise multiple regression analyses revealed that spirituality has a significant negative relationship with death anxiety, i.e., as the degree of certainty with re…

Measuring Clients' Expectations: The 15 Personal Problems Inventory
An instrument for assessing client expectations was analyzed for factors. Four factors emerged, each representing a separate domain of personal problems. Applications of these findings are described in this article
The Effects of Anxiety on Recall in Self Versus Other-Model Observation
To determine whether differential levels of anxiety and recall occur during vicarious modeling or self-observation, six counselor trainees were shown five videotaped segments of counselor-client interactions-two of a different counselor and client and three of themselves counseling (one of which was viewed in the presence of the trainees' supervising professor). Anxiety was measured by self-reports and hand temperature and recall was assessed by …
Academic Criteria, Experiential Background, and Personal Interviews as Predictors of Success in a Counselor Education Program
A 4-year evaluation was conducted of a counselor education trainee selection process that places approximately equal weight on three selection criteria: academic index, experiential background, and personal interviews. Mean faculty rankings were obtained for 77 trainees on three separate evaluative areas: (a) academic success in the program, (b) overall counseling competency in the program, and (c) anticipated success in the field. Results of Pea…
A Comparison of Self-Observation, Self-Modeling, and Practice Without Video Feedback for Improving Counselor Interviewing Behaviors
This study evaluated the effects of three different feedback procedures on counselor trainees' interviewing behaviors that were judged by their supervisors as being inappropriate in a counseling session. In addition to informing each trainee in writing of the specific target behavior(s) he or she was to attempt to improve, the feedback conditions consisted of either (a) self-observation of edited videotapes of appropriate-only behavior (entitled …
