Changes in Reported Injection Behaviors Following the Public Health Response to an HIV Outbreak Among People Who Inject Drugs
Stressful and traumatic life events as disruptors to antiretroviral therapy adherence
Stressful and traumatic life events (STLEs) are common among HIV-infected individuals and may affect health behaviors such as adherence to antiretroviral (ARV) therapy, with important implications for treatment outcomes. We examined the association between STLEs and ARV adherence among 289 US-based participants enrolled between 7/1/2010 and 9/1/2013 in a study of depression treatment for HIV-infected patients. Participants received monthly teleph…
Improvements in depression and changes in quality of life among HIV-infected adults
Improving quality of life (QOL) for HIV-infected individuals is an important objective of HIV care, given the considerable physical and emotional burden associated with living with HIV. Although worse QOL has been associated with depression, no research has quantified the potential of improvement in depression to prospectively improve QOL among HIV-infected adults. We analyzed data from 115 HIV-infected adults with depression enrolled in a random…

Effects of an Out‐of‐school Program on Urban High School Youth's Academic Performance
Research strongly indicates that low‐income youth, particularly those of color who are overrepresented in poverty, have lower levels of academic performance than their higher‐income peers. It has been suggested that community‐based out‐of‐school programs can play an important role in reducing these academic differences. This study examined the effect of the YMCA High School Youth Institute on the grades, test scores, and school attendance of urba…
A Longitudinal Study of Factors Influencing the Retention of Title IV-E Master's of Social Work Graduates in Public Child Welfare
This article investigates factors predicting the retention of 201 Title IV-E MSW graduates at a large, urban public child welfare agency in California over 2 years of employment. Using a discriminant function analysis, factors taken at the end of the first and second year of employment were used to predict whether these graduates left prior to or at the end of their commitment or stayed past their commitment. The most consistent predictor of whet…
Title IV‐E Programs
This article investigates the perceived quality and skill outcomes of Title IV‐E MSW training programs at four universities from the perspective of their graduates. It also sought to identify necessary program supports, expectations of graduates as they began child welfare employment, and pre‐employment factors related to retention. The vast majority of MSWs agreed that their education was high quality and prepared them well for child welfare pra…
Best Practices for Integrating Technology and Service Learning in a Youth Development Program
The Long Beach YMCA Youth Institute is an innovative program that uses technology and service learning as a mechanism for promoting positive youth development while enhancing the academic and career readiness of low-income, culturally-diverse, urban high school students. This article describes the Youth Institute and identifies best practice principles for the use of technology and service learning in youth development programs. The best practice…
Consumer Perceptions of Outreach and Marketing Strategies for Family Resource Centers
Family Resource Centers (FRC) are designed to recruit, provide services to, and involve low-income residents in leadership roles. These centers should be accessible to all families in a community. However, it is often difficult to recruit residents who might be socially isolated or alienated from institutions to participate in services and program leadership. This study explored current, past, and potential consumers' perceptions of the methods o…
Changing teaching practices to promote achievement and bonding to school
An intervention to modify teaching practices in grades five and six was evaluated. Results showed that higher levels of teacher implementation of the modified practices favorably influenced students' levels of classroom opportunity, involvement, reinforcement, and bonding to school. Levels of academic achievement were also increased. The importance of assessing implementation in theory-guided experimental studies is discussed

Preventing school failure, drug use, and delinquency among low-income children
A six-year, school-based prevention program, which modified classroom teacher practices, offered parent training, and provided child social skills training, was evaluated for its effects on school failure, drug abuse, and delinquency among low-income urban children. Compared to a low-income control group, children in the intervention group showed enhanced school commitment and class participation. The girls in the group also evidenced lower rates…
