Exploring Out-of-Home Placement as a Moderator of Help-Seeking Behavior Among Adolescents Who Are High Risk
Objective: This study investigated foster or group care placement as a predictor of help-seeking behavior among adolescents who were at high risk for physical and mental health problems. Method: Data from the 1985 to 1986 wave of the Adolescent Health Care Evaluation Study were used to compare three groups of adolescents: (a) 136 that had experienced placement, (b) 136 that were randomly selected from the larger sample, and (c) 136 matched to the…

Authors of Articles in Social Work Journals
This article presents the results of an empirically based research study that addresses two objectives: to examine the affiliations of authors of articles published in social work journals, and to determine if there is an increase in each category of affiliation over time; and to examine if there is an increase in the number of multiple authorships of articles in journals over time. The findings support the contention that university and college …

Modifying The Environment
Environmental Modification has received little attention in the past. Thus, this article has four purposes: (1) to provide a current conceptualisation of environmental modification; (2) to show the neglect of its use in contemporary social work practice; (3) to state a working definition of environmental modification; and (4) to provide the basic assumptions of the definition. All four purposes will be accomplished with the underlying theme that …
Factors Associated with Police and Probation/Court Dispositioning
This article presents the results of an empirically based study that examined the discretionary process operating within the same juvenile justice system. Assessment of the factors influencing the decision-making process at two points within the same system indicate some consistent factors operating between the two points
The Perceived Effectiveness of Medical Social Work Faculty
Within the health care field, medical social work has expanded rapidly over the past few years (Bracht, 1974). Medical social workers comprise approximately 1.5 percent of the total medical schools' faculty in the United States (Grinnell, Kyte & Hunter, 1976). There is additional evidence that medical social work faculty will increase over the years to come (Grinnell, Kyte, Hunter & Larson, 1976; Crinnell, Kyte & Hunter, 1976; Grinnell & Kyte, 19…
The Research Component of Doctoral Programs in Social Work
The doctoral program in social work has traditionally been viewed as encompassing a predominantly research-oriented, knowledge-building emphasis. It is acknowledged that if social workers are to be prepared to competently understand, utilize, participate in, and produce practice-relevant empirical studies, research must constitute an integral component of the educational process at the doctoral level. The rapid increase in doctoral programs, heig…
The Educational Needs of Social Work Faculty in Medical Schools
Despite a long-standing association and promise for a closer alliance in the future, considerable ambiguity surrounds the current participation of social workers in medical education. A nationwide study was conducted to obtain a comprehensive, up-todate profile of social work faculty employed by medical schools-- their total number, demographic characteristics, department affiliations, primary specialties, methods and content areas of academic in…
Do Agency Administrative Changes Affect the Effectiveness and Efficiency of DHR Employees
This study examined the perceived effectiveness and efficiency of DHR employees before and after agency administrative changes. Results indicated that the employees' perceptions of effectiveness and efficiency after agency administrative changes were not significantly affected. The employees also felt that "communication" was the major factor hindering them in becoming more effective and efficient
The Perceived Effectiveness and Efficiency of DHR Employees
This article presents the results of a project that examined the perceived effectiveness and efficiency of Department of Human Resource (DHR) employees within a large agency. The results indicated that the employees perceived their effectiveness and efficiency as relatively high and that there was a large degree of association between the two concepts. The caseworkers perceived their own effectiveness and efficiency as lower than the noncaseworke…
Broken Homes and Middle‐class Delinquency
This research note presents the results of an empirical study that examines the relationship between broken homes and middle‐class delinquents known to the juvenile justice system and compares the findings with a recent study that focused on the relationship between broken juveniles homes and self‐reported delinquency. A comparison of the two studies reveals that both studies found little or no relationship between broken homes and middle‐class d…
The Homemaker-Home Health Aide
For the past several years, many social workers have utilized the services of various disciplines as members of interdisciplinary teams as one approach to practice. There is ample evidence that social workers are increasingly beginning to utilize the newly constructed service of the Homemaker-Home Health Aide (H/HHA) when working with various client populations.1 In the United States, there are approximately 74,000 H/HHAs who provide social welfa…
Medical Social Work Faculty
Within the health care field, medical social work has expanded rapidly over the past few years. In the United States, medical social workers comprise approximately 1.5 percent of the total medical schools' faculty. And, there is empirical evidence that medical social work faculty will increase substantially over the years to come. However, we as social work educators know very little about medical social work facultys' opinions on how they percei…
The Prestige and Effectiveness of the Public Welfare Worker
An empirically-based study was conducted to determine how BSW and MSW social work students differentially assess the relative prestige and effectiveness of public welfare work in relation to the fifteen other social work methods and to ascertain what methods they would ideally like to enter upon graduation from their programs. The study findings point dramatically to a wide discrepancy between the BSW and MSW student's view of the public welfare …
The Runaway Youth
To date, few (if any) empirically based research studies have been executed in exploring the relationship between the recidivism rate of runaways and the three possible types of dispositions they may receive: (1) counseled and released at the intake level; (2) referred to another social agency; or (3) placed on probation. It is critically pertinent to examine this relationship before attempting to plan alternatives to divert the youths from the j…
Environmental Modification
This paper highlights a significant gap in casework theory and practice-the lack of conceptualization of environmental modification. The neglect of environmental modification is traced through the literature, with particular emphasis on the lack of specifically delineated action principles and techniques. A definition of environmental modification is proposed, along with implications for practice
