Social Work Literature and Gendered Racism
A formal evaluation of social work literature on the topic of gendered racism has yet to be undertaken. Accordingly, authors present a scoping review of peer-reviewed social work literature on gendered racism. Guided by Arksey and O’Malley’s scoping review framework, databases were searched for peer-reviewed journal articles including the term “gendered raci*” and published by social work scholars or journals since 1991. In the sample of 33 artic…

Scholars have predominantly explained this disparity as resulting from LGBT people's chronic exposure to interpersonal and structural stigma and discrimination. Despite their front-line role in serving LGBT people with substance use disorder, investigations of homonegativity, binegativity, and trans…

Trying to be positive in the face of the storm”
The COVID-19 pandemic created multiple stressors for college students, particularly for young adults experiencing multiple forms of disadvantage. Little is known about the pandemic experiences of independent college students, many of whom are emancipated minors, former wards of the state, and other students who lack familial financial and practical support as they pursue higher education. Twenty-three independent students, ages 18-23, from one no…
Resilient Outcomes among Youth Aging-Out of Foster Care
The period of transition from foster care to independent living is frequently associated with poor outcomes. While some studies have conveyed patterns of resilience among transition-age foster youth, additional research is needed to examine its stability over time. The present study used data from the National Youth in Transition Database (NYTD) and the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS) to examine the rates and stabi…
Shifting from receiver to provider

The mental health clinic poses unique challenges for social work scholar-practitioners. The familiar setting, the nature of mental health data collection, and the researcher's clinical training and experience all complicate efforts to maintain a reflexive stance in research. Additionally, conducting research in a clinical environment risks replicating a hierarchical medical model in the research relationship. Using a theoretical framework of crit…

In-depth, semi-structured interviews suggested that supportive relationships with family,…
