Black perspectives and social work practice
Social work and social welfare have historically operated from a Black perspective in understanding problems, identifying structural inequities, and designing social services for the Black community. Obviously there is no singular Black perspective, but a diversity of models promulgated by diverse players for meeting the community's needs. Often marginalized, the practice models discussed herein provide divergent approaches and illustrate the cri…

Historically, African American parents have struggled to negotiate the tensions related to raising their children in a hostile society. The recent and tragic events involving the murders of unarmed African American boys and men by police officers, enraged motorists, and vigilante neighbors have sparked a resurgence in discussion and activism related to these historic tensions. In addition to protests and a heightened level of public discourse, th…
Indicated Prevention of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders in South Africa
In the Western Cape Province of South Africa (ZA) a subculture of binge drinking produces the highest global documented prevalence of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD).

Data reveal that men were more likely to be current drinkers than women, 75.1% vs. 65.8% (p = 0.033); farm laborers were more likely to be current drinkers than individuals in other occupations 83.1% vs. 66.8% …
The Role of Fathers in Adolescent Substance Abuse Prevention
Adolescent substance abuse has been a major problem in society for many decades. Prevention has been deemed the most successful approach for dealing with this problem. Most research on this area focuses on family and emphasizes the role of mothers as either protective factors or as risk factors. The role of the father is more ambiguously discussed. The father figure can either be a member of the biological family or of the selective family. This …
