Method: In all, 17 empirical studies using college and/or university student samples and interventions intended to improve heterosexuals’ attitudes toward lesbian, gay, or bisexual individuals are reviewed.

The Future of Global Social Work
This article addresses the social work within the context of internationalism and globalization. Based on an examination of published documents on international social work in the past decade, the authors make an evidence-based projection of what is likely to occur in the future of global social work. Finally, the authors make a social work values-based projection of what should occur
Has Welfare Reform Created “Chilling Effects” for Refugees in the United States
The welfare reform legislation of 1996 significantly reduced noncitizens’ access to public benefits. Research has indicated that welfare reform has had unintended “chilling effects,” whereby even those noncitizens who remain eligible for benefits do not utilize them because of fear and confusion. Although refugees were exempted from the benefit restrictions for a certain period following arrival, recent research has suggested that they too may ha…
The Role of Social Capital in Immigrant and Refugee Economic Adaptation
This study examined the effects of social capital upon the economic adaptation of 2336 primarily Latin American and Asian immigrants and refugees residing in Miami-Fort Lauderdale and San Diego. Amultivariate, cross-sectional survey design was used. It was found that social capital, as indicated by respondents' social networks, workplace ethnic composition, informal assistance and formal assistance received, had minimal impact upon economic adapt…
Refugee Economic Adaptation
A theoretical model of predictors of refugee economic adaptation was tested using data from a telephone survey of a random sample of Hmong, Somali, and Russian refugees resettled in Minneapolis-St. Paul. The study examined the relative influence of demographic characteristics, flight-related characteristics, host-related characteristics, residency characteristics, acculturation characteristics, and adaptation stresses upon refugees' employment st…
The Effectiveness of Three Inpatient Intervention Strategies for Chemically Dependent Women
Objective: This study investigated the effectiveness of three inpatient substance abuse intervention strategies for women: female-sensitive treatment, mixed-gender treatment, and combination mixed-gender/female-sensitive treatment. Method: Eighty-nine women in three treatment facilities were evaluated over a 3-month period on levels of self-esteem, social support, depression, and severity of addiction. It was hypothesized that (1) these women wou…
