We examine how these factors contribute to …
Neocolonialism and science diplomacy
To level the playing field in the production of global knowledge, we need to understand the practical implications of colonial heritage and how it has disproportionately affected scientific discourse and the generation and utilization of scientific knowledge from and about the Global South.

Eleven identified as women, five as men, and two as gender non-conforming. Over half of the sample identified as Hispanic or Latinx. This study employed a longitudinal, qualitative design with three interviews over 12-months (e.g., baseline, 6-months…

Disadvantageous Decision-Making as a Predictor of Drop-Out among Cocaine-Dependent Individuals in Long-Term Residential Treatment
Our findings suggest that neurocognitive rehabilitation of disadvantageous decision-making may have clinical benefits in CDI admitted to long-term residential treatment programs
How do you do it
This paper reports on a survey of MSW field directors in the United States. Results indicate that in some areas there is similarity between field programs, such as field training and orientation, and the student placement process. There was great variety between field programs in the areas of student field requirements, student field credits, and field liaison faculty status. Most field programs report adequate resources but a significant minorit…
