Elder Abuse as a Social Welfare Issue
New Innovations Needed to Address Psychotropic Medication Use in Foster Care
The number of children in foster care has grown by 10.6 percent in the last five years to nearly 443,000 (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2019). Research has shown that foster youths (FY) have short- and long-term adverse health effects (Nguyen, 2014) including a range of mental health issues (Raghavan, Inoue, Ettner, Hamilton, & Landsverk, 2010). Up to 67 percent of FY had some type of mental health disorder, including 23 percent w…
The Minimum Wage Increase
The concept of increasing the minimum wage has all the elements of a major social innovation. Social innovation, at its core, involves three steps (Greenhouse: The Center for Social Innovation, 2017). The first step is to identify a social norm (for example, stagnant wages) that holds undesirable conditions in place (for example, the inability to survive economically and otherwise). The second step is to create a deviant (for example, increasing …
A Public Health Response to Data Interoperability to Prevent Child Maltreatment
The sharing of data, particularly health data, has been an important tool for the public health community, especially in terms of data sharing across systems (i.e., interoperability). Child maltreatment is a serious public health issue that could be better mitigated if there were interoperability. There are challenges to addressing child maltreatment interoperability that include the current lack of data sharing among systems, the lack of laws th…

The relationship between unemployment and child maltreatment
Using Return on Investment to Evaluate Child Welfare Training Programs
The impact of child abuse and neglect has affected many aspects of society beyond just those in child welfare. In 2010, there were 408,425 children in foster care in the United States (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2011), and at least that many children who were living in the homes of their parents but under the jurisdiction of a Child Protective Services (CPS) agency. Researchers have also conservatively estimated that there are …

Injuries as a Result of California Earthquakes in the Past Decade
The devastating effects of earthquakes have been demonstrated repeatedly in the past decade, through moderate and major earthquakes such as the October 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake (5.9 on the Richter scale), the October 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake (7.1) and the January 1994 Northridge earthquake (6.7). While 'official' tallies of injuries and deaths are reported for each event, the numbers vary from report to report. For Northridge, the numb…
