Assessing variation in U.S. young adults’ anxiety, depression, and financial well-being by race and gender during the Covid-19 pandemic
‘Invest the time for their success’
This study aims to examine social work faculty and doctoral student perspectives regarding student academic and non-academic needs, effective doctoral mentoring, and advice for faculty and students for making the most out of the mentoring relationship. Social work faculty and doctoral students participated in an online survey regarding mentoring. This paper draws on 94 faculty and 127 student responses to the survey’s open-ended questions. Themat…
Childhood exposure to interpersonal and animal-directed violence
Co-occurring exposure to interpersonal violence and animal-directed violence in childhood is associated with elevated adult suicidality. These results identify animal cruelty exposure as a meaningful component of threat-based adversity and support its inclusion in trauma history interviews and suicide risk assessments
Integrating animal cruelty exposure into person-centered models of childhood adversity
Future research should test whether including animal cruelty in person-centered models of adversity improves identification of high-risk subgroups, and explore how such inclusion can inform multispecies approaches to violence prevention and intervention
Effects of Neighborhood Disconnection on Psychological Distress and Suicide Risk Associated with Interpersonal Violence Within Racial Groups
Promoting diversity and inclusion in social work doctoral programs through mentoring
Social work doctoral programs help shape the future leaders of the profession, but the climate of doctoral programs may not be equally welcoming to all students. This study explores the perspectives of students who are Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) regarding their programs’ diversity and inclusion and mentoring practices. The online survey of 183 social work doctoral students uses a mixed methods approach to compare perspectives o…
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), Alcohol Use in Adulthood, and Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) Perpetration by Black Men
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious social and public health problem in the United States. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and alcohol use have been found to be associated with IPV perpetration; however, limited studies have examined the interrelationships of these variables among Black men. This is the first known study to systematically review and synthesize studies on the interrelationships of ACEs, alcohol use, and IPV perpetrat…
Reflections From Academic Mothers of Young Children on Social Work Research and Education
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound societal impact with unprecedented impact on women’s labor force participation, including among academic mothers. Yet, persistent gendered and racialized inequities in academia remain structurally unaddressed, including in social work. We believe that as social work educators we are well-positioned to develop an academic culture that helps us refocus on what matters most; redefine excellence in teaching, s…
Polyvictimization and Psychological Outcomes Among North Korean Refugee Women
Korean refugee women are at risk of multiple violent victimizations throughout the migration phases. However, migration's association with mental health outcomes has received little scholarly attention. This study examined North Korean refugee women's exposure to polyvictimization—exposure to both gender-based violence (GBV) and intimate partner violence (IPV)—and explored whether polyvictimization is associated with an increased risk of psycholo…
Licensing, Testing Disparities, and the Social Work Profession
Most readers will be familiar with the historical debates and contemporary outcomes of the consideration of whether social work is a profession. Following Abraham Flexner’s assertion in 1915 that social work is not a profession, the field has made sustained efforts to determine what separates it from other areas of practice and legitimize the practice of social work (see Daley & Pittman-Munke, 2021, for a description about this historical speech,…
The Problem of Gun Violence in the United States
In the time lag between when these words are written and when they are published, many incidents of gun violence will have occurred, particularly in the United States. I am writing at a time when the senseless murders of Black community members at a store in Buffalo, New York, and predominantly Latinx elementary school students and teachers in Uvalde, Texas, are in the news. Since that time, however, information on mass murders with guns comes ou…
Human Rights in a Time of Conflict and Crisis
The three months since our last issue of Social Work Research have presented dramatic challenges for our world. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has precipitated multiple humanitarian crises and, as of this writing, displaced over 3 million people. Ukraine has experienced casualties in such places as schools, hospitals, and a theater as well as in neighborhoods. Questions of whether this is the beginning of a new World War occupy our news cycles and …
Social Workers, Self-Care, and Resilience during Social Work Month
If you are reading these words, chances are high that you are either a social worker yourself or have many of them in your network of friends, family, and colleagues. This means you are familiar with the challenges and demands as well as the rewards and joy the profession involves. What better time than social work month to acknowledge some of the contributions social workers make in our lives and communities? In the United States, the National A…
Social Work and Environmental Justice
The effects of climate change are evident from news around the globe. Drought, flooding, fires, severe storms, and erosion are affecting the ways humans live. No longer is environmental disaster part of a dystopian, predicted future; the future is here. The summer of 2021 was the hottest on record in the United States since the Dust Bowl of 1936 (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 2021). Greenland has recorded increasing snowmelt co…
Going Beyond “the Moment” in Social Work Research
The early months of 2021 have been a time of tumult and change. Despite positive advances with vaccination and declines in some coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) indicators globally, the pandemic continues to wreak havoc on health, well-being, education, and work in nearly every country. The United States presidential administration change, and events surrounding it, have implications worldwide. Pervasive anti-Black racism; discriminatory polic…

Mentorship and Social Work Research
Currently, I am engaged in a research project on a topic that is very dear to my heart and central to my professional identity: mentorship. Colleagues and I are collecting quantitative and qualitative data from students and faculty members about academic and nonacademic mentorship, focusing attention on self-efficacy, balancing personal and professional development, and issues regarding power and privilege. By the time you read this, we will have…
The Two Pandemics
I write these words in early June in the northeastern United States Incongruously, the sun is shining, birds are chirping, and flowers bloom This apparent paradise is at odds with the two pandemics gripping this nation and the world at large: coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and racism Recent weeks and months have seen a string of horrifying events, one after another The brutal police violence that took the lives of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd …

Looking Back, Looking Ahead
This has been quite a year! When we prepared the first issue of volume 44 in Social Work Research, we had no idea what was in store for all of us. The challenges we have faced as community members, scholars, and social workers have seemed insurmountable at times, and have called on us to marshal all our existing resources and build new skills. This year has raised new challenges, such as COVID-19, and emphasized the intransigence of racial injust…

Virtual coaching for child welfare workers – a tool to promote learning
This pilot study considers the effects of a virtual coaching intervention on learning outcomes of an online training for child welfare workers. A two-group pretest–posttest design was used to assess differences in outcomes for participants taking part in virtual coaching (n = 27) compared with similar participants who received online training only (n = 300). The virtual coaching group completed significantly more training modules and perceived gr…
Working Together Works Better
This past spring I had the good fortune to attend two impactful meetings—the annual meeting of the Group for the Advancement of Doctoral Education in Social Work (GADE), held at the Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work at the University of Southern California, and the first learning collaborative for the newly formed Center for Innovation in Child Maltreatment Policy, Research and Training at the Brown School at Washington University in St. …
Introduction to the New Editor-in-Chief
I am extremely pleased to be writing my inaugural editorial for Social Work Research. The opportunity to serve as the journal’s editor-in-chief is an honor, and I take the attendant responsibilities very seriously. Since becoming a consulting editor in 2010, I have long been aware of the high-quality research this journal promotes and disseminates and of its important role in supporting the social work profession. I am committed to making each is…

Child Maltreatment and Delinquency Onset Among African American Adolescent Males
Child welfare and criminology research have increasingly sought to better understand factors that increase the likelihood that abused and neglected children will become involved in the juvenile justice system. However, few studies have addressed this relationship among African American male adolescents. The current study examines the relationship between child maltreatment (i.e., neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and other/mixed abuse) and t…

Applying Implementation Drivers to Child Welfare Systems Change
Implementation science is a relatively young field of research that studies efforts to put improved policies or programs into routine practice. In recent years, the Children's Bureau has placed increasing emphasis on implementation of child welfare system reforms to promote improved outcomes for children, youth, and families. Using an implementation framework from the National Implementation Research Network, this article reviews the relevance of…
Young Adult Outcomes of Juvenile Court–Involved Girls
The recent increase in the number of girls involved in the juvenile justice system has resulted in increased academic and public attention. Thus far, this attention has focused on entry into the juvenile justice system rather than longer-term consequences. This research helps fill this gap by examining a sample of 700 maltreated and/or impoverished juvenile court-involved females. Competing risks models were used to control for time from juvenile…
Understanding Race and Gender Differences in Delinquent Acts and Alcohol and Marijuana Use
Guided by social development constructs, this article investigates race and gender differences in the initiation of various types of delinquent behavior and alcohol and marijuana use among African American and Caucasian adolescents in grades 7 through 12. In addition, this study examined the potential direct or indirect effects of parental supervision, clarity of family rules, and association with delinquent peers. Results from the longitudinal a…
Responding to child maltreatment
A recent study estimated that over one‐fourth of Chinese children have suffered maltreatment (Fang et al., 2015 ). However, the current child welfare policy in China is limited to orphans, abandoned children, and children with disabilities. Also, there is very little comparative research in China on Chinese and other countries’ child welfare systems. The purpose of this study was to analyze applicable US and Chinese child welfare policies, identi…

Absorptive capacity in child welfare
Promoting successful implementation of evidence-based practices within child welfare agencies necessitates accurately measuring absorptive capacity (i.e., the ability to acquire, assimilate, transform, and exploit knowledge) through valid and reliable assessment. However, a measurement tool does not exist for child welfare agencies. As such, this exploratory study identified existing measures and items relevant to absorptive capacity in child wel…
Family Centered Treatment, Juvenile Justice, and the Grand Challenge of Smart Decarceration
Purpose: Responding to social work’s grand challenge of smart decarceration, this study investigated whether Family Centered Treatment (FCT), a home-based service for juvenile court-involved youth, is more effective than group care (GC) in reducing recidivism. Outcomes are juvenile readjudication and commitment to placement, and adult conviction and sentence of incarceration. Method: Data were drawn from service provider and state administrative …

Multiple Service System Involvement and Later Offending Behavior
Objectives. We investigated patterns of childhood and adolescent experiences that correspond to later justice system entry, including persistence into adulthood, and explored whether timing of potential supports to the child or onset of family poverty, according to developmental periods and gender, would distinguish among latent classes. Methods. We constructed a database containing records for 8587 youths from a Midwestern metropolitan region, b…
Diversion From the Juvenile Justice System
Teen courts are a multidisciplinary intervention used to divert youth with minor offenses from the juvenile justice system. Observations were conducted at 13 hearings in an urban jurisdiction, with information gathered about the youth respondent, peer jurors, and adult volunteers. Peer jurors engaged in the majority of communication with the respondent during hearings. Adult volunteers, often members of the legal or judicial community, fulfilled …

The Chain Has to Be Broken”
Whereas the number of girls involved in the juvenile justice system is on the rise, little is known about female juvenile offenders after they reach adulthood. This study aims to explore the meaning that young adult women ascribe to their juvenile court experiences and assess their perceptions of facilitators and barriers to progress in their adult lives. Data on services and support are presented from nine semistructured interviews. Findings inc…
