Exploring the intersection of social identities, environmental justice, and advocacy among social work students
This study, guided by an intersectional environmental justice theoretical framework, examines how social identities affect social work students’ involvement in and preferences for environmental justice (EJ) advocacy. Pre- and post-program surveys were used to collect data from 146 BSW and MSW students from Adelphi University. Results show Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) students tended to prioritize EJ topics that address systemic …

Benefits of Stakeholder Participation in Drought Risk Management
Effective drought risk management demands adaptive strategies that actively involve stakeholder participation to enhance decision-making and policy outcomes. This study assesses the Nebraska Republican River Basin Drought Exercise as a case study, exploring how stakeholder participation impacts drought awareness, policy support, networking, collaboration, and long-term water resource management. The exercise brought together a diverse group of st…
Special Interest
Background- Person centred care, care that recognises and honours the unique experiences and conditions of patients, caregivers, families and community is a core component of the quintuple aim but remains poorly understood and seldomly actioned within and across the health and social care systems. Why are we conducting this meeting? At the International Conference on Integrated Care this past spring in Belfast, Northern Ireland we launched a Spec…
Avoiding Diabetes After Pregnancy Together with Moms (Adapt-M)
Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a temporary condition that occurs during pregnancy. Patients with GDM are at an increased risk of future type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The maternal care setting thus provides a critical window of opportunity for T2DM prevention. Clinical practice guidelines recommend postpartum follow-up for patients with GDM for T2DM screening and prevention through physical activity and diet counselling. However, i…
Putting Person Centred Care into Action
Health systems globally are striving to advance the quintuple aim of better patient and caregiver experience, better provider experience, better population health, lower cost (or better value for what we spend) and a focus on equity. One of the most neglected and least understood parts of this framework is improving patient and caregiver experience. Person centred care – care that sees a health service user as a full person with individual desire…

The student is a consumer of education and is motivated by their graduate outcomes. Entrepreneurship provides the opportunity for substantially greater graduate outcomes, but does it deliver? This paper reviews the undergraduate bachelor Entrepreneurship Education Programmes (EEPs) offered by universities in the UK. It explores the active and engaged approaches to learning through the module themes offered and considers the challenges of using ro…
Associations between dyadic language style matching and classroom observations of behaviorally inhibited children's sociability
Children's sociability, the motivation and ability to initiate and maintain social interactions, influences how children navigate their social worlds. When sociability supports interactions, it contributes to social competence and positive social‐emotional outcomes. Although a substantial body of literature characterizes how specific parenting behaviors have an early and lasting influence on children's social development, far fewer studies have c…
An Interdisciplinary Approach to the Grand Challenges
Developing social workers’ capacity and engagement in collaborative community-based innovations to climate-driven and other environmental hazards better ensures progress on the Grand Challenges. Such inclusive solutions value community leadership and are culturally responsive and justice-centered. Multisolving, pioneered by Dr. Elizabeth Sawin, offers a framework to pair social work goals from the Grand Challenges with climate-responsive interdis…

Workshop description: This workshop is designed to introduce participants to challenges and opportunities in diverse patient engagement. Participants will learn about the Equity-Mobilizing Partnerships in Community (EMPaCT) model. Through …
Putting Patient Experience Data into Action! A Workshop to Explore the Collection and Use of Patient Experience Data in Practice
Health systems globally are in pursuit of the quintuple aim – better population health, improved patient and caregiver experiences, improved clinician experiences, sustainable per capita costs1 and greater health equity. Patients and their care partners (family and friends who provide care) have unique insights on the quality of healthcare delivery, yet, few organizations are poised to meaningfully integrate these voices into care delivery transf…
Participatory alignment
The expansionist nature of the higher education sector has led to an increase in the provision of online Masters programmes. Many of these programmes are offered part-time attracting working professionals. The dissertation component that can be the culmination of many of these degrees is largely unexplored. A constructivist grounded theory investigation of the relationship between online Masters dissertation students and their supervisors was und…
The Paths They Wore
Green Jobs for Returning Citizens
Climate change is dismantling social protections through both direct effects of disasters and theindirect consequences as communities attempt to recover, which often exacerbates trauma andparallel known risk factors for recidivism among returning citizens. As a discipline, social workmust wholly recognize the links between environmental injustice and other primary factors ofinequality such as race and class, which also increases the likelihood of…
Knowing you are there makes the difference
Using cluster analysis, we investigated whether perceived social support and individual differences in preferences to use support combined to form distinct profiles. Self-report data were collected from U.S. adults (N = 454; aged 40–90, Mage = 55.37, SD = 9.73). Four profiles were identified: disengaged, interpersonally connected, isolated independent, and connected independent. Profiles characterized by high perceived support were associated wit…
Mindfulness Training for Correctional Staff
Corrections staff experience high levels of stress in their jobs, often leading to turnover, absenteeism, psychosomatic diseases, and burnout. Stress can contribute to myriad professional and personal challenges such as depression, poor physical health, family conflict, and decreased life/job satisfaction. In efforts to develop wellness trainings specifically for corrections staff, the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (PADOC) conducted a sm…

Professional language in Swedish clinical text
This study investigates the linguistic characteristics of Swedish clinical text in radiology reports and doctor's daily notes from electronic health records (EHRs) in comparison to general Swedish and biomedical journal text. We quantify linguistic features through a comparative register analysis to determine how the free text of EHRs differ from general and biomedical Swedish text in terms of lexical complexity, word and sentence composition, an…
Explaining the Puzzle of Homeless Mobilization
In this article, the authors examine participation in protests about homelessness by an unlikely set of participants-the homeless themselves. Through an analysis of data derived from 400 structured interviews with homeless individuals in Detroit, Philadelphia, and Tucson, the authors examine why and to what extent some homeless individuals, and not others, participate in movement-sponsored protest activities. In addition, the authors assess the d…
Sober on Brandon on Screening-Off and the Levels of Selection
Sober (1992) has recently evaluated Brandon's (1982, 1990; see also 1985, 1988) use of Salmon's (1971) concept of screening-off in the philosophy of biology. He critiques three particular issues, each of which will be considered in this discussion
