Making the most of it: Visiting parent perspectives on supervised parenting services
Supervised parenting services provide parents without custody of their children the opportunity to meet with their children. Often, families in crisis are referred to or utilize these centers following child safety concerns like domestic violence, parental substance use disorders, or child abuse and neglect. The goal of supervised parenting services is to provide a safe environment for visiting parents and children to meet. Research on this topic…
Making it work: Custodial caregiver experiences with third‐party supervised visitation
Supervised parenting, commonly referred to as supervised visitation, is a growing service with limited research examining its impact on families. Compared with research on non‐custodial parents, less is known about how custodial caregivers navigate this service to support their children both before and after supervised time with non‐custodial parents. This is of particular importance given common histories of high conflict and often violence amon…
Supervised Visitation: State of the Research
Despite the proliferation of supervised visitation services, there is limited research to evaluate programs and guide evidence-based practices in this field. This research note reflects a systematic review of recent studies in this area and comments on the methodological features and implications for future research in this critical but often overlooked practice
Understanding Influences on Intention to Use Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Among African American Young Adults
Sociocultural and structural influences on HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Engagement and Uptake among African American Young adults
Our study highlights sociocultural and structural factors that act as barriers and facilitators to PrEP engagement. The SEM guided the understanding of how these factors operated on multiple levels. One of the sociocultural factors, community/social network influences operated at the interpersonal level of the SEM; the other two, stigma and medical mistrust, operated at the community level. The structural factors (PrEP availability, accessibility…
Racial Differences in the Dementia Caregiving Experience During the Covid-19 Pandemic: Findings From the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS)
This study highlights that increased caregiving demands during the pandemic amplified racial differences in CG stress. Findings suggest that outreach to reduce CG stress and burden is critical for Black dementia CGs
Doing Place: A context specific framework for sustaining commitments in Appalachian Kentucky
In the context of high outmigration, this study drew on the experiences of college educated young adults (N = 30) who made conscious commitments to live in Appalachian Kentucky and work on social, economic, and environmental changes in the region. Using Constructivist Grounded Theory methods, we present doing place as a context specific framework that highlights three dynamic and multi-directional strategies that guided participants’ decisions, c…

The Effects of Nativity Status on Well-Being Among Medicare Beneficiaries by Race/Ethnicity: A Multi-group Analysis
Complicating our understanding of environmental migration and displacement: The case of drought-related human movement in Kenya
The social work profession is increasingly concerned with human movement due to environmental changes and has issued a call to develop appropriate interventions to support the vulnerable groups that tend to migrate. However, the scholarship in this area is lacking. In this brief note, we explore a case of environmental migration that was linked to drought in Kenya. We found that their experiences tend to be different than those that are highlight…
