A pilot evaluation of a training programme on understanding and responding to sexual behaviours in children and young people
Practitioners who work with children and young people such as educators, psychologists, and social workers, are required to understand and respond to various sexual behaviours in children and young people. However, there is a dearth of training programmes dealing with sexual development. To reduce over- and under-reporting of risk, which can have serious adverse outcomes, it is essential to educate practitioners in understanding and responding ap…
Understanding the mechanisms underlying the socioeconomic disparities in cancer screening among Australian women
This study is the first to investigate the effects of individual level SES on cancer screening in Australia and one of the few studies to examine underlying mechanisms simultaneously across various screening programs. Reducing stress and improving screening literacy may help to improve cancer screening participation among low SES individuals. Our results also suggest that tailoring interventions to the SES background of women may not enhance thei…
Co-designing planning interventions to facilitate participation in mail-out bowel cancer screening
These novel, consumer-led interventions that are built upon the needs and experience of screening invitees provide potential solutions to improve participation in population bowel cancer screening
Attitudes toward standardized assessment among individuals who use substances
Standardized assessment and progress monitoring are an important part of evidence-based practice. Despite efforts to embed standardized assessments into routine practice, they remain underutilized by practitioners. This underutilization has been attributed to a variety of factors, one of which is the concern that standardized assessments are a burden for individuals to complete. This study sought to gather the first descriptive data on substance …
Trivialized and overlooked
Height frequently functions as a cue to the masculine status of men. Despite the socially prescribed ideal physique for men being tall, lean, and muscular, in the context of male body image research height remains underexplored relative to muscularity and body fat. We conducted a qualitative investigation of men’s experiences of height dissatisfaction, drawing upon a sample of 15 men ranging in height from 154 cm to 172 cm (M = 164.80, SD = 5.53)…
Normative Standards for Coral Reef Conditions
Previous research suggests that recreationists develop preferences for certain resource characteristics as they become more specialized. In this study, normative standards for resource conditions at coral reefs in the Florida Keys were compared among three specialization groups of SCUBA divers. Norm intensity was significantly greater among more specialized divers for three of four resource conditions studied—coral bleaching, algae cover, and pre…
Normative Standards for Wildlife Viewing in Parks and Protected Areas
With increasing public interest in wildlife watching, there is a need to develop methods to better inform management of quality viewing opportunities. In this study, normative methods using indicators and standards of quality are applied at two diverse parks/protected areas: a popular national park in Alaska and a lesser known wildlife refuge in New Hampshire. Three potential indicators of quality are identified that can be used to help define an…
Balancing Stakeholders with an Imbalanced Budget
The Child -Centered Social Worker and the Sexually Abused Child
The prosecution of child sexual abuse cases continues to be an area in which there is a strain between the judicial system and the social work profession; the former is predominately interested in the conviction of the accused and the later is primarily interested in the protection of the child's emotional well-being. In an effort to assist the sexually abused child throughout the court process, the authors propose the concept of a child-centered…
Social Problems
Instead of just describing social problems, this book helps students develop active critical thinking skills through evaluating and analyzing readings from social scientists and journalists on major social problems. The authors goal is to teach students to be lifelong critical consumers of journalistic and social scientific accounts of all kinds of social problems
