Promising research and methodological approaches for health behavior research with homeless persons
High-risk health behaviors have high prevalence among homeless persons prompting substantial research on health behavior and behavior change strategies within the population.

We describe three overlapping trends in homeless health behavior research – longitudin…

Feminist Issues in Qualitative Research With Formerly Homeless Mothers
This article describes the author's attempts to incorporate feminist principles into a qualitative study of the process of successful restabilization among formerly homeless mother-headed families. It discusses methods for dealing with such issues as the research agenda, epistemology, and ethics, so the credibility and agenda of feminist qualitative research is not compromised, and presents case examples from the author's field journals and trans…
Training Public Assistance Workers in Policy and Interpersonal Helping Skills
Although social work has traditionally been concerned with economically disadvantaged populations, separation of income maintenance and public social services functions in the 1970s resulted in a decrease in social work influence and involvement in public assistance programs. In an effort to incorporate certain social work principles and practices into the public assistance function, a school of social work and a state agency collaborated to deve…

Evaluating Interpersonal Skills Training for Public Welfare Staff
A week-long in-service training session focused on improving interpersonal helping skills for 116 public welfare staff. The program was evaluated to assess changes in participants' knowledge, skill mastery, and self-perceptions. Results indicate statistically significant gains on use of attending behaviors, reflections, and a global rating of empathy, respect, and genuineness. Discussion centers on the practical significance of the small gains no…

Initially inventories that may be utilized in the assessment of the relevance and quality of services provided are reviewed. Next, cost benefit analysis is addressed in terms of helping social workers estimate the cost of services provided. The manuscript concludes with a discussion of the issues involved in general agency assessment
