Social Workers’ Perspectives on the Climate of Trauma-Informed and Non-Trauma-Informed Schools
This study explored school climate from the perspective of social workers, documenting their perceptions of trauma-informed culture and climate in U.S. schools. Using logistic regression, we analyzed survey data from 538 school social workers to investigate whether their experiences of school climate characteristics associated with trauma-informed approaches—physical and psychological safety; a focus on strengths and equity; and supportive relati…
Investigating the Effects of Misinformation as Infopathogens
Previously, it has been shown that transmissible and harmful misinformation can be viewed as pathogenic, potentially contributing to collective social epidemics. In this study, a biological analogy is developed to allow investigative methods that are applied to biological epidemics to be considered for adaptation to digital and social ones including those associated with misinformation. The model’s components include infopathogens, tropes, cognit…
How school policies, strategies, and relational factors contribute to teacher victimization and school safety
In this study, we examined how school policies and strategies (i.e., positive discipline, hardening strategies, and positive behavioral strategies) affect teacher relational factors and teacher reports of victimization and safety. Specifically, we examined the mediational roles of teacher support of student learning, maltreatment of students by teachers, and teachers' differential treatment of students in schools. Using a sample of 6643 pre‐K‐12t…
A Conceptual and Large-Scale Empirical Examination of the Welcoming Empowerment Monitoring Approach (Wema) for School Safety and Substance Use Reduction
Purpose: Research shows that many evidence-based school programs are not sustained after the demonstration period is complete. This article outlines the Welcoming Empowerment Monitoring Approach and builds on data at each school—to address school safety and reduce substance use. Method: The study used California Healthy Kids Survey data across 145 schools in Southern California at five points in time over an 8-year period. Results: From project i…
Needs of Children and Families during Spring 2020 Covid-19 School Closures
Despite extensive reports during the COVID-19 pandemic of the academic challenges facing students, and the effects of online learning on academic achievements, we have little information regarding the needs and difficulties of K-12 students and their families from a social work perspective. The present article shares findings from a nationwide survey of 1,275 school social workers (SSWs) reporting on their clients-schools, children, and families-…
The comparative responsiveness of the EQ-5D and SF-6D to change in patients with inflammatory arthritis
The comparative responsiveness of the EQ-5D and SF-6D differs according to the direction of change. The level of mean change of the EQ-5D relative to the SF-6D has implications for cost-effectiveness analysis. Use of the SF-6D in patients with severe progressive disease may be inappropriate
