Settler Colonialism, Ecocide, and the Climate Crisis in Occupied Palestine
Environmental devastation in occupied Palestine is a direct outcome of settler colonialism, which systematically dispossesses Indigenous Palestinians of land, resources, and sovereignty. Land confiscation, water diversion, and the deliberate destruction of native species constitute forms of ecocide that exacerbates economic inequality and worsen public health crises, including food and water insecurity, toxic exposure, disease, and prolonged disp…

Validation of the Substance Abuse Scale of the Personal and Relationships Profile
There have been limited measurement studies of the substance abuse scale of the Personal and Relationships Profile (PRP) and the impact of social desirability on alcohol and drug use reporting. This study aimed to (a) model the factor structure of the eight-item substance abuse scale of the PRP and (b) examine the relationship of substance use factors with sociodemographic variables—race, income, age, marital status—and social desirability on sub…
Todo ha sido a pulmón
In this Notes from the Field, we highlight the work of community based organizations that filled essential gaps in the disaster recovery efforts in Puerto Rico for communities that were heavily damaged by Hurricane Maria yet received little formal government aid. We describe community mobilizing and organizing efforts and identify key lessons for eco-social work practice. As disaster risk increases with climate change, community led efforts are l…
The Political Determinants of Disaster Risk
An environmental justice (EJ) framework identifies that the most vulnerable in society are also the most likely to be at risk to extreme weather events attributable to climate change. Among the populations frequently identified as disproportionately exposed to disaster risk are persons living with disabilities. In this article, we highlight three models for understanding the impact of extreme weather events on people with disabilities: a physical…
Social Work Perspectives on Climate Change and Vulnerable Populations in the Caribbean
Caribbean small island nations are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and some communities within these nations may be at increased risk for health and mental health consequences. Recent hurricanes and flooding in the region have highlighted the importance of preparation as well as inequities in response to natural disasters. Environmental justice offers a framework for environmental health that acknowledges inequalities ari…
Predictors of Father Involvement in a Sample of Low-Income Men Enrolled in a Responsible Fatherhood Program
Fathers play an important role in the lives of their children and are an underserved and understudied population. This study explored predictors of father involvement in a sample of low-income fathers enrolled in a responsible fatherhood program in one large county in the northeastern United States. Although many demographic, psychological, and social factors have been found to be associated with father involvement in other research, in our study…
Risk and Protective Factors for Family Violence among Low-Income Fathers
Over the last decade there has been an increased focus on improving father engagement to improve child and family outcomes. Recent research suggests that child and family outcomes improve with increased fatherhood engagement. This exploratory study examined risk and protective factors associated with approval of family violence among a sample of low-income fathers (N = 686) enrolled in a responsible fatherhood program. The program goals include i…

Gender Differences in Juvenile Gang Members
Over the past two decades, gang membership within the United States has continued to rise and has spread from urban centers to suburban and rural areas. Juvenile gang membership is of particular concern because of the relationship between early gang involvement and later adolescent and adult criminal behavior and incarceration. Female gang membership and affiliation are receiving increased attention as female crime and incarceration rates outpace…
Environmental shifts for social work
Miller SE, Hayward RA, Shaw TV. Environmental shifts for social work: A principles approach The social work profession is rooted in a history of addressing the needs of vulnerable populations. Generally, however, this history has not extended to issues relating to the natural environment. Building on a framework of environmental justice, this article proposes a shift from the artificial separation of the social and natural environments in its per…
Parental Methamphetamine Use and Implications for Child Welfare Intervention
Methamphetamine abuse appears to be increasing in previously unaffected parts of the United States, despite criminal justice deterrent strategies and local, state, and federal efforts to control access to production materials. Methamphetamine manufacture and addiction can impact users, families, children, and entire communities. This literature review describes the effects of methamphetamine use on parents, children, and families; summarizes rese…
Gender Differences in Behavioral Outcomes Among Children at Risk of Neglect
Objective: This study examines the impact of the Family Connections (FC) intervention on preventing behavioral problems among urban, predominantly African American children at risk of neglect. Method: Secondary data analyses using mixed model analyses of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures were used to examine gender differences in child behavior outcomes among 111 participating families across three time points (intake, closing, and 6 months…
A Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Professional Opinion Scale
The Professional Opinion Scale (POS) was developed to measure social work values orientation. Objective: A confirmatory factor analysis was performed on the POS. Method: This cross-sectional study used a mailed survey design with a national random (simple) sample of members of the National Association of Social Workers. Results: The study validated a 28-item POS retaining the four subscales described by Abbott, and the model fit was acceptable. C…
