Preparing Professional Degree Students to Tackle Grand Challenges
The Grand Challenges for Social Work Initiative (GCSWI) reflects the power and potential of social work to accelerate social innovations and resolve major social problems. The complexity of these societal problems mandates profession-wide entrepreneurial readiness to engage in transdisciplinary, interprofessional, and translational collaborations. The GCSWI galvanizes shifts in undergraduate, master’s, doctoral, and early career supports to equip…
Research Training, Institutional Support, and Self-Efficacy
While the expectations for social work practitioners to do research have increased, their involvement is still limited. We know little about what factors influence involvement in research. The present study proposes a theoretical model that hypothesizes research training and institutional support for research as the exogenous variables, research self-efficacy as an intervening variable, and research activity as the endogenous variable. The study …
Advancing Administrative Supports for Research Development
Research administrative supports must parallel and reinforce faculty initiatives in research grant procurement. This article features several types of developments that draw on presentations at the National Association of Deans and Directors of Schools of Social Work meetings. Key changes in social work programs are addressed, including the growing research portfolio, the growing number of centers and institutes, and National Institutes of Health…

The Effectiveness of Community Practice Interventions
Objective: Evidence-based practice is becoming increasingly important in social work and community practice. The authors reviewed existing research to assess the level of evidence available to guide community practice. Method: The authors conducted a review of the literature on community practice intervention research from 1985 to 2002 using several databases, search engines, and personal contact with researchers. The authors found 269 articles p…
Help-Seeking Behaviors and Depression among African American Adolescent Boys
This study examined the help-seeking behaviors of depressed, African American adolescents. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 18 urban, African American boys, ages 14 to 18, who were recruited from community-based mental health centers and after-school programs for youths. Interviews covered sociodemographic information, questions regarding depressive symptomotology, and open-ended questions derived from the Network-Episode Model--includi…
Housing the Homeless Mentally Ill
This paper presents the housing outcomes from an assertive case management program for the homeless mentally ill. The program was evaluated using an experimental design. Qualifying clients in a state hospital were randomly assigned to the case management program or routine services. At six month follow-up, over twice as many experimental as control clients were housed. None of the experimental clients had returned to living on the streets or in s…
UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
Assessing Models of Case Management
No studies have assessed whether different models of case management are being implemented. The purpose of this study was to see if case management services given to a sample of chronically mentally ill adults followed any or all of the models postulated by Ross (1980) -Minimal, Coordination, or Comprehensive. Analysis of service data showed that case management services were given according to all three models. Implications for case management p…

Exploring Differences among Women in Social Work
This article examines the sources of diversity among women in social work. The common and differing agendas of women of various racial and social class groups are explored. An approach based on pluralism and acceptance of differences is presented including implications for administration and staff development
