“My Hands Are Tied”
Latinx immigrant communities experienced disproportionate economic and health consequences from COVID-19. Although social service organizations have been on the frontlines to meet the complex social service needs of this population, little is known about their experiences working with this vulnerable group in the first phase of the pandemic (during “shutdowns”). Using multiple case study methods, this case study integrates survey responses from L…

Examining Differences in Substance Use Outcomes and Related Correlates among Transfeminine and Transmasculine Adults Using the 2017 New York State Patient Characteristics Survey
Background: Transgender persons in the U.S. experience high levels of violence and discrimination which have been linked to adverse substance use outcomes. Despite transgender women’s higher exposure to such deleterious events compared to transgender men, studies have often aggregated both transgender women and men, obfuscating potentially unique differences between these groups. The current study, guided by the Minority Stress Model, examines di…
Reflections From Academic Mothers of Young Children on Social Work Research and Education
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound societal impact with unprecedented impact on women’s labor force participation, including among academic mothers. Yet, persistent gendered and racialized inequities in academia remain structurally unaddressed, including in social work. We believe that as social work educators we are well-positioned to develop an academic culture that helps us refocus on what matters most; redefine excellence in teaching, s…
Polyvictimization and Psychological Outcomes Among North Korean Refugee Women
Korean refugee women are at risk of multiple violent victimizations throughout the migration phases. However, migration's association with mental health outcomes has received little scholarly attention. This study examined North Korean refugee women's exposure to polyvictimization—exposure to both gender-based violence (GBV) and intimate partner violence (IPV)—and explored whether polyvictimization is associated with an increased risk of psycholo…

A National Survey of Probation Staff of the Needs, Services and Barriers of Female Youth in Juvenile Justice Settings
Despite a growing awareness and documentation of the growing proportion of justice-involved girls and their unique needs over the last three decades, federal efforts to disseminate gender-responsive priorities have largely been unsuccessful. The purpose of this national, cross-sectional survey of juvenile justice staff was to describe the current implementation of gender-responsive programming, the degree to which it is empirically supported, the…

They Dumped Me Like Trash”
Highlights Latino day laborers are vulnerable to crime victimization in new immigrant settlement cities. Victimization led to sociocultural alienation, despair or desesperación, and problem drinking. Findings highlight the intersection of structural vulnerability, violence, and mental health
Working under conditions of social vulnerability
Work-related discrimination was uniquely associated with depressive symptoms independent of the effects of occupational risks and stressors. This may be particularly salient in a rising anti-immigrant national context. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
We are at Full Capacity”
Cities without a prior established history of Latina/o migration are experiencing the fastest rate of growth in new immigrants in the United States (Wainer, A tale of two cities (and a town): Immigrants in the Rust Belt, 2013; Lichter & Johnson, Immigrant gateways and Hispanic migration to new destinations. International Migration Review, 43, 496, 2009). These new immigrant settlement cities experience the challenge of adapting their social care …
Providing social services in a new immigrant settlement city
Nationally, a new trend in migration has included the settlement of Latina/o immigrants in cities without an established community of Latinas/os. Social services become even more salient in this context in the absence of informal social networks of support. This study, guided by social ecological theory, advances our limited understanding of social services in new immigrant settlement destinations by elucidating contextual and structural factors …
Return-migration to Mexico and the gendered transnational migration process
The Mexico-USA border is one of the most active borders in the world with many migrant men traveling to the United States to serve as "breadwinners" for their families. Yet knowledge within psychology is limited regarding how Latino migrants' masculine identities may be shaped within the migration context as a vast majority of studies are set within the United States. This gap in the literature continues to exist despite many Latino migrant men's…
Un Jalón, Un Volteón, y Otra Vez
During the past decade, crack smoking has increased in Mexico among poor urban populations. Despite this increasing prevalence, little is known about the types of paraphernalia used and related sharing practices and physical harms. Data come from in-depth semi-structured interviews and observations with 156 current crack smokers in Mexico City. Findings reveal a complex, crack-smoking process in Mexico City that represents an interconnected struc…
Validation of the Revised BSI-18 With Latino Migrant Day Laborers
Findings suggest that the revised BSI-18 appears to measure a single dimension of general somatic-psychological distress in this sample of Latinos
Battling Discrimination and Social Isolation
Day labor is comprised of predominately male and recent Latino immigrants, mainly from Mexico and Central America who work in an unregulated and informal market. Three‐quarters of the day labor force is undocumented and live under the federal poverty threshold as work is seasonal and highly contingent on the weather and the local economy. However, in spite of their exposure to significant health risks, little is known about the impact of Latino d…
Crime Victimization Among Immigrant Latino Day Laborers in Post-Katrina New Orleans
Reports indicate that the criminal victimization of Latino immigrants in the United States has been increasing yet is often underreported. This may be especially true in new immigrant settlement cities that lack an established Latino community to provide support and feelings of security. New Orleans is an important context to investigate criminal victimization as it has experienced a large demographic shift in Latino composition post–Hurricane Ka…
The Racial and Ethnic Identity Formation Process of Second-Generation Asian Indian Americans
This phenomenological study elucidates the identity development processes of 12 second-generation adult Asian Indian Americans. The results identify salient sociocultural factors and multidimensional processes of racial and ethnic identity development. Discrimination, parental, and community factors seemed to play a salient role in influencing participants' racial and ethnic identity development. The emergent Asian Indian American racial and ethn…
Social Networks That Promote Well-Being Among Latino Migrant Day Laborers
Latino migrant day laborers are a transnational population that often travels back and forth between borders in search of economic opportunities. These Latino day laborers (LDLs) are often at risk for exploitation and worker's rights abuses. Despite LDLs' heightened social vulnerability and risks, this population often does not access formal social or public health services due to their undocumented legal status, lack of health insurance and dist…
Return Migration in the Transnational Context
Transmigrants (migrants who travel back and forth between two nation-states) are a growing population in the United States, yet their unique needs are not well understood by service providers. This qualitative case study explores an understudied aspect of transmigration: the return experience of male transmigrants to their community of origin in Mexico. Findings reveal that transmigrants endure significant hardships, yet also gain unique benefits…
Culturally Competent Social Work Research
Despite the growing number of language minorities, foreign-born individuals with limited English proficiency, this population has been largely left out of social work research, often due to methodological challenges involved in conducting research with this population. Whereas the professional standard calls for cultural competence, a discussion of how to implement strategies for culturally competent research with language minorities is regrettab…

Providing Social Services to Mexico–USA Transmigrants
A vulnerable population of transmigrants (migrants who go back and forth across borders) has emerged that can be distinguished from traditional migrants. This “hidden” population is exposed to high antecedents of lack of well-being and marginalization. Social work's emphasis on social justice demands an understanding of this community to better prepare students and practitioners to address the specialized needs of this vulnerable population. This…
Transnational social work
In this article, we explore the wraparound approach of service delivery as a model for transnational social work. The wraparound model, used primarily within community-based children's mental health services and child protection initiatives, has been effective when planning services for clients and their families with complicated needs, whose care has to be provided within a multiple provider context. Most social work is delivered nationally or i…

Enhancing Self-Awareness
A primary goal of social justice educators is to engage students in a process of self-discovery, with the goal of helping them recognize their own biases, develop empathy, and become better prepared for culturally responsive practice. While social work educators are mandated with the important task of training future social workers in culturally responsive practice with diverse populations, practical strategies on how to do so are scant. This art…
