“To Be Honest, It was Just the Hope”: Why Transition-Age Youth Enroll and Remain in State-Initiated Extended Foster Care
Understanding the Gen Z Independent Voter: An Exploratory Study
While a growing amount of research is emerging on the voting patterns and attitudes of Generation Z (Gen Z) voters in general, little attention has been given to independent Gen Z voters. To better understand these independent Gen Z voters, we surveyed 1315 registered voters in Arizona between 20 and 30 years old. We explored how Gen Z voters differ from their partisan counterparts in their attitudes toward politics, barriers to voting, and their…

The fluid voter: Exploring independent voting patterns over time
Independents remain hard to categorize because they are, by their choice of self‐identification, resisting the standard categories of political classification. Despite the growth in independent voter identity, many political strategists still view independents as partisans. In this article, we contribute to the academic literature on independent voting behavior by exploring whether those who identify as politically independent function as true in…
Social networks of independents and partisans: Are independents a moderating force
While scholars have long recognized that social networks impact political engagement for partisans, comparatively little work has examined the role of networks for independent voters. In this article, we contribute to existing research on social networks and politics by surveying Arizona registered voters about their political persuasion, personal networks, and media consumption habits. Our findings show that independents have networks that are s…

Post-Adoption Service Needs of Families with Special Needs Children: Use, Helpfulness, and Unmet Needs
This study was conducted to explore post-adoptive service needs of families adopting special needs children. In addition, the research examined the relationship of post-adoption service utilization to positive adoption outcomes. Two hundred forty-nine (N = 249) special needs adoptive families representing 373 children responded to a mailed survey as part of this study. Financial, medical, and dental supports, and subsidies emerged as the most fre…

Predictors of High-Risk Sexual Behavior Among People Living With HIV/Aids
Communities in Conflict: Resolving Differences Through Collaborative Efforts in Environmental Planning and Human Service Delivery
Increasingly, public administrators and managers in the fields of human service and environmental planning have been exploring new avenues to resolve complex and seemingly intractable public problems. Confronting such controversial issues as land management plans, common-pool resources, endangered species, welfare reform, health care and immigration are requiring new and more innovative ways of doing business-ways in which problem-solving and lea…
Gay and Lesbian Adoptions: A Theoretical Examination of Policy-Making and Organizational Decision Making
Most of the inquiry into gay and lesbian adoptions has focused on the rights of this population toadopt, the constitutional issues surrounding gay and lesbian parenting, and the outcomes of children raised by homosexual parents. There has been scant focus at the policy-making or organizational level on this issue. Why have public adoption agencies failed to provide either regulation or written policy on the topic of adoption of children by gays a…
