The Political Economy of Immigration and the Emergence of Transnationalism
Recent literature on immigration and immigrants reveals a shift in language, concepts, and theories that reflect the growing influence of global capitalism on transnational migrants. Largely deriving from an imperialism or world systems theory framework, the literature varies widely in its scope of concern, assessment of the current and future impact of globalization, and policy implications. The prior notion of the immigrant as unidirectional so…
Front Line Workers’ Attitudes towards Psychiatric Advance Directives
Health disparities between island and mainland Puerto Ricans
Puerto Ricans living on the U.S. mainland and those living in Puerto Rico both need to target lowering their prevalence of obesity and diabetes. For island Puerto Ricans, improved education about the significance of primary prevention and diabetes care is needed. For mainland Puerto Ricans, the accessibility of the primary health care system renders it a potentially effective venue for interventions, particularly for smoking cessation. More studi…
Can Shelter-Based Interventions Improve Treatment Engagement in Homeless Individuals With Psychiatric and/or Substance Misuse Disorders
BACKGROUND: High proportions of homeless individuals have mental illness and substance use disorders. Few of these individuals engage in consistent treatment, although they are likely to benefit from it. Shelter-based interventions to help this population engage in treatment have not been studied in a rigorous manner. OBJECTIVES: We sought to evaluate the effectiveness of a shelter-based intervention, including intensive outreach by a psychiatric…
Advances in the Reliability and Validity of the North Carolina Family Assessment Scale
Objective: Psychometric properties of the North Carolina Family Assessment Scale (NCFAS) are examined in relation to placement and prediction of future placement within the context of Intensive Family Preservation Services (IFPS). Method: IFPS workers recorded NCFAS intake and closure ratings for 1,279 families. The categorical rating data and change-scores are analyzed in relation to treatment outcomes and future placements. Results: Domain scor…
Stressful Life Events and Trauma Among Substance-Abusing Homeless Men
This study examined the prevalence and nature of stressful life events and the impact of these events and related factors (mental health disorders, number of episodes of homelessness) on trauma severity among substance-abusing, homeless men. Data were collected at five substance abuse treatment agencies in the Southeast. Subjects (N = 99) completed the Stressful Life Events Screening Questionnaire and the Trauma Symptom Checklist-40 and provided …
Exploring Trauma Among Homeless Men in Treatment for Substance Abuse
This paper presents data from qualitative interviews of ten homeless men attending a substance abuse treatment agency in the Southeast. Each subject participated in a one time in-depth qualitative interview focused on his family background, mental health, treatment experiences, and trauma. Qualitative analyses found that this sample of substance abusing homeless men reported a high prevalence of depression, family dysfunction, trauma, and a patte…
Can We Talk
To facilitate the recovery of people with mental illness (consumers of mental health services), social workers must be strengths-focused and believe in the potential for consumer growth and improvement. Unfortunately, social workers often share the negative, stigmatizing view of mental illness held by much of the general population. In this article, the authors describe a facilitated dialogue process between consumers and master's level social wo…
A Two-Level Community Intervention Model for Homeless Mothers with Mental Health or Substance Abuse Disorders
This paper describes a two-tiered community intervention model in response to a call from the Center for Mental Health Services for the development of best-practice strategies for homeless mothers with mental health and/or substance use disorders and their children. This model incorporates best practice principles gained from previous research projects pitched at the system and client levels. The model has been conceptualized, presented, and fund…
