The Reimagining and Improving Student Education (Rise) Negotiated Rulemaking and Social Work: How Changes to Federal Loans Undermine the Profession, the Social Safety Net, and Access to Care
Toward a Better Understanding of Primary Care Physician Career Typologies
BACKGROUND: The nation faces a persistent shortage and maldistribution of primary care physicians (PCPs). A better understanding of PCP career typologies could help policy makers target interventions toward certain subgroups, rather than using a "one-size fits all" approach to improving PCP supply, distribution and diversity across settings and in rural areas. METHODS: This study used cross-sectional data from 2009 and 2019, derived from the Nort…
Burnout and Job Satisfaction among U.S. Peer Recovery Support Specialists: Personal Resilience and Satisfaction with Supervisor and Organizational Support as Mediating Mechanisms
Going Grander: Behavioral Health as a Crosscutting Theme for Social Work
Preparing behavioral health clinicians for success and retention in rural safety net practices
PURPOSE: This study assesses how, among behavioral health clinicians working in rural safety net practices, the amount of exposure to care in rural underserved communities received during training relates to confidence in skills important in their work settings, successes in jobs and communities, and anticipated retention. METHODS: This study uses survey data from Licensed Clinical Social Workers, Licensed Professional Counselors, and Psychologis…
Pharmacists Colocated With Primary Care Physicians: Understanding Delivery of Interprofessional Primary Care
BACKGROUND: While evidence supports interprofessional primary care models that include pharmacists, the extent to which pharmacists are working in primary care and the factors associated with colocation is unknown. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to analyze the physical colocation of pharmacists with primary care providers (PCPs) and examine predictors associated with colocation. RESEARCH DESIGN: This is a retrospective cross-sectional study of phar…
A Representative Profile of MSW Graduates in the United States
As the United States faces burgeoning behavioral health needs and a growing recognition of the inextricable link between social conditions and health outcomes and quality-of-life indicators, a current representative profile of the MSW workforce with respect to sociodemographic and employment characteristics can provide a reference point for ongoing assessments of that workforce. The profile also can establish a baseline by which efforts to bolste…
Research Note—Integrated Care Training and Preparedness: Evidence From 5-Years of Postgraduation Data
Social work has seen significant federal investment through the Behavioral Health Workforce Education and Training (BHWET) for Professionals grants. This research note examined differences between BHWET trainees and general MSW graduates regarding self-reported knowledge of integrated behavioral health competencies, job placement, and starting salaries. A survey was administered 10 months after graduation (N=288) for five graduating classes (2014…
Understanding the Pathway from Undergraduate to Graduate Degrees in Social Work to Diversify the Behavioral Health Workforce
What Do EHRs Tell Us about How We Deploy Health Professionals to Address the Social Determinants of Health
The objective of this study was to determine how well Electronic Health Record (EHR) documentation identifies which health professionals act to address patient social determinants of health (SDOH) and what interventions are documented. The Electronic Medical Record Search Engine was used to identify food and housing insecurity EHR notes. From the notes, researchers randomly sampled 60 from each SDOH category. Of 120 notes, which contained a refer…
Improving the Health of Rural Communities Through Academic–Community Partnerships and Interprofessional Health Care and Training Models
Health disparities between rural and urban areas are widening at a time when urban health care systems are increasingly buying rural hospitals to gain market share. New payment models, shifting from fee-for-service to value-based care, are gaining traction, creating incentives for health care systems to manage the social risk factors that increase health care utilization and costs. Health system consolidation and value-based care are increasingly…
Do Families Exposed to Adverse Childhood Experiences Report Family Centered Care
Background: Youth from marginalized groups may be less likely to receive quality health care services. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are known to impact long-term health, but it is unclear if there is a relationship between ACEs and receipt of Family Centered Care (FCC)—one indicator of high-quality health care. To assess this relationship, this study used a nationally representative sample of youth from the National Survey of Children’s H…
Federally Qualified Health Centers Use of Telehealth to Deliver Integrated Behavioral Health Care During Covid-19
Interprofessional Collaboration: An Evaluation of Social Work Students’ Skills and Experiences in Integrated Health Care
Evidence shows that when an interprofessional (IP) approach is effectively implemented, it can counteract some of our most pressing health care problems. One such challenge is the lack of training in IP teamwork health care professionals receive during their education. Using a quasi-experimental matched comparison group design, this study assessed pre- and posttest changes in IP knowledge, attitudes, and skills of MSW students (N = 52) from 2015–…
Social Work Answers the (Video) Call: Tele-Behavioral Health Use During Covid-19
Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted access to and the delivery of behavioral health services for social work providers and their clients. This study examined the use of tele-behavioral health by social workers before and during the pandemic, as well as the perceived barriers and supports to technology use. Method: We developed an electronic survey, which was distributed to a convenience sample of practicing social work professionals in the…
Psychosocial Interventions in Office-Based Opioid Treatment: A Systematic Review
Social Work Workforce Development and Medicaid Expansion: Mapping Areas of (Mis)alignment
Enacted in 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) included several provisions to increase health insurance coverage for low- and moderate-income individuals (Mazurenko, Balio, Agarwal, Carroll, & Menachemi, 2018). A key mandate of the ACA required states to expand Medicaid eligibility for adults who lived at or below 138% of the federal poverty level (Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission [MACPAC], 2019). However, a …
Investigating racial differences in clusters of adverse childhood experiences
43,711). The primary measure included in the study were 9 ACE indicators available in the survey. We use descriptive and latent class analysis to examine whether similar clusters of ACEs appear across racial groups. We found that White children had lower exposure to specific ACEs as well as total number of ACEs compared to non-Latinx Black and Latinx Children. In addition, there was not configural similarity between race/ethnic groups and the lat…

Adverse Childhood Experiences and Child Health Outcomes: Comparing Cumulative Risk and Latent Class Approaches
Improving Causal Inference: Recommendations for Covariate Selection and Balance in Propensity Score Methods
Objective: This paper is a resource for applied researchers and journal reviewers who wish to learn more about propensity score methods, especially recent published recommendations for selecting and balancing covariates before conducting treatment effect analysis. Method: We reviewed and synthesized methodological studies of propensity score analysis from multiple disciplines in an effort to distill a cogent and defensible set of recommendations …
Adult Attachment and Stepparenting Issues: Couple Relationship Quality as a Mediating Factor
Using a sample of 390 stepparents, we assess the influence of insecure attachment and couple relationship quality on stepparenting issues. We also examine the extent to which relationship quality mediates connections between attachment and stepparenting issues. Results from ordinary least squares regression and Sobel tests indicate greater levels of attachment avoidance and anxiety are associated with greater levels of stepparenting issues. Resul…
