Dimensions of community context that affect coalition effectiveness
The Rutgers Integrated Care Evaluation (Rice) Research Framework
We recommend clinicians and scientists implement the RICE Research Framework to enhance their integrated care programs
Knowledge of Predatory Practices within the Substance Use Disorder Treatment Industry
The KPPS is a reliable measure of knowledge of predatory practices within the substance use disorder treatment industry and can be used as a measurement tool to educate individuals seeking help for their loved ones who are misusing substances
Locational and Contextual Attributes of Opioid Overdoses in New Jersey
The opioid crisis has resulted in unprecedented rates of overdose, yet much remains unknown about the locational and contextual attributes of overdose events. This study aimed to identify settings of nonfatal opioid overdose and their individual and community level predictors. Data from 3,326 overdose events show that residences are the most common overdose setting. Compared to overdoses occurring in residences, outdoor overdoses were more likely…
Measuring Youth Empowerment
Sociopolitical control (SPC) has been identified as a key element of the intrapersonal component of psychological empowerment. The Sociopolitical Control Scale (SPCS) is a widely used measure and has been modified for use among youth (SPCS‐Y). In light of the emerging interest in SPC among youth within community‐based research, this study applied item response theory (IRT) to examine the psychometric properties of the SPCS‐Y and to explore a brie…
Psychometric properties of a Recovery Empowerment Scale
Psychological empowerment (PE) is a multidimensional construct comprised of emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and relational domains. Although context‐specific measures of PE exist, no study to date has introduced and tested a measure of the construct that captures all four domains for both women and men in recovery from substance misuse. Furthermore, research has largely neglected the relational dimension, particularly in studies involving peopl…
A Case Study of SBIRT on A College Campus
Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is an evidence-based intervention that has been shown to reduce alcohol use. Extant literature has demonstrated that SBIRT can be effectively integrated and implemented in primary care settings. Relatively little research has focused on the implementation of SBIRT in college student health centers. The aim of this study was to identify challenges and facilitators of implementing SBI…
Promoting opioid overdose prevention and recovery
The strategic prevention framework in community-based coalitions
Measuring Sense of Community Responsibility in Community‐Based Prevention Coalitions
Research on sense of community (SOC) has traditionally been approached from a resource perspective. Recently, however, research on the experience of SOC has evolved to include a related but distinct construct of sense of community responsibility (SOC‐R), or feelings of accountability for the well‐being of a community. This study applied item response theory to examine the psychometric properties of a SOC‐R scale used in an evaluation of community…
Empowerment in Coalitions Targeting Underage Drinking
Social work has adopted the Grand Challenge to reduce and prevent alcohol misuse and related consequences. This study extends previous research through a macro examination of distinct roles within coalitions implementing prevention strategies targeting underage alcohol use. The purpose was to determine whether hypothesized relationships among organizational characteristics, empowerment variables, and perceived effectiveness differed for 2 subgrou…
Cognitive Interviewing for Item Development
Cognitive interviewing (CI) is a method to identify sources of confusion in assessment items and to assess validity evidence on the basis of content and response processes. We introduce readers to CI and describe a process for conducting such interviews and analyzing the results. Recommendations for best practice are provided
Psychometric Properties of the Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans—II
The Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans—II is one of the most frequently used measures of acculturation, despite lack of validation. This study analyzed the structure of the Marginality Scale of the Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans—II using data from a diverse Latino sample of residents. Confirmatory factor analysis of the Marginality Scale yielded poor model-to-data fit for the hypothesized scales. Exploratory analys…
