Former Soviet Union Immigrant and Native-Born Adolescents in Israel
Studies on immigration and adolescence show that youth experience a variety of emotional and cognitive adjustments as well as conflicts related to acculturation and the realities of life in their new country. Such conditions place many of them at increased risk for psychosocial problems including personal stress, interpersonal conflicts, mental illness, school failure, delinquency, substance use, and other risk-taking behavior. This prospective s…
Drug Abuse, Risks of Infectious Diseases and Service Utilization Among Former Soviet Union Immigrants
Based on the high rates of injection drug use and infectious disease such as HIV, HCV and tuberculosis in their home country, immigrants from the Former Soviet Union (FSU) comprise a high-risk population in the United States. Yet, little is known about their drug abuse and health problems relative to other immigrant populations like Hispanics. The objectives of this exploratory study were to identify disease risk behavior, and utilization of and …
Substance Use Patterns and Problem Behavior among Immigrant and Native-Born Juvenile Offenders in Israel
The use of licit and illicit substances was examined in relation to the personal and social attributes of juvenile offenders in Israel, 256 native-born and 110 from the former Soviet Union. The findings of this prospective study show that immigrant youth initiate substance use at a younger age; use alcohol more often; have more alcohol-related problems; and, are more inclined to regard their use of cigarettes, alcohol and illegal drugs as an aid …
Differential Staff Perceptions of Service Organization and Management in Drug Treatment
Dissonance among 23 professional and 7 paraprofessional staff of drug service agencies toward case record management of addicts was investigated. Analysis showed that these paraprofessionals, former drug addicts now in a treatment role, tend to be more critical of how case records are dealt with than professional staff. The data favour the hypothesis that the greater the diversity of staff's background characteristics, the greater are the chances…
Attitudes of Russian Immigrant and Israeli-Born Women toward Child-Care Services
Israel, like most other societies, has a variety of subgroups differentiated by ascribed attitudes or characteristics which are imputed to individuals. These differences may be reflected by attitudes which are evaluative statements concerning objects, people, or events. In this study the attitudes of Israeli women--30 veterans and 30 newly arrived from the Soviet republics--toward family day-care services were examined. A number of significant di…
Teachers' Job Satisfaction in Transitional Society within the Bedouin Arab Schools of the Negev
The purpose of this study was to identify job satisfaction factors in the Bedouin Arab elementary schools in the Negev and their relationships to various demographic variables. The study was conducted in 1989 and was based on a random sample of teachers from all of the Bedouin elementary schools. Job satisfaction was measured by the questionnaire developed by Wanous and Lawler (1972). Two significant job satisfaction factors emerged from factor a…

Kibbutz Youth Perceptions of Adolescent Problems
Kibbutz Youth Self-Concept and its Association with Alcohol Use
This study, exploratory in nature, was conducted at an Israeli kibbutz where 54 youths, aged 13 to 17 yr., were queried regarding their self-concept and alcohol use. The Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (6) was given along with an anonymous, precoded instrument developed in previous research conducted in Israel and the United States (2, 3). Because the sample is representative of only a limited population, the study's external validity is restricted. …
Israeli College Students' Drinking Problems
The drinking problems of 156 Israeli college students were examined in 1986. The data suggest alcohol is used and negative behavior is exhibited with its use. Compared to research on United States college students' drinking problems, lower drinking activity appears to exist in Israel. This exploratory study is viewed as an initial step towards a systematic assessment of college students' alcohol use throughout Israel
Human Services Program Evaluation in a Developing Region
Teenagers Problems
It has been pointed out by the Task Force on Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (1976) that too often programs have been planned and implemented on the basis of uninformed speculation. In order to determine the major concerns of youths for purposes of delinquency prevention and resources allocation, a study was conducted in the Cleveland area of Ohio. This study was designed to compare the perspectives of youths and adults toward teenage…
