Processes for culturally adapting behavioral health interventions for people with refugee backgrounds
Academic literature supports cultural adaptation (CA) of evidence‐informed interventions to increase accessibility and effectiveness of behavioral health treatment to meet the needs of a culturally diverse society. While several meta‐analyses have shown positive outcomes of CA mental health interventions, there is a need for more information about how theoretical CA models have been applied in practice to meet the cultural and contextual needs of…
Teaching Note—Comics in the Classroom
The focus of this teaching note is on the use of graphic novels in social work classrooms. The article first discusses the unique learning needs of today’s digital native learners. It then provides justification for why these books are effective in reaching students who are well versed in image data because of heavy reliance on and use of the Internet and social media. Finally, we share our experiences using select graphic novels in three bachelo…

Honoring Our Ancestors
The US social work profession has historically claimed primarily middle-class white women as the 'founders' of the profession, including Jane Addams and Mary Richmond. Scholarship of the history of the profession has focused almost entirely on settlement houses, anti-poverty advocacy, and charity in the late 1800s in the northeastern United States as the groundwork of current social work practice. Courses in social work history socialize students…
Mental Illness Public Stigma and Generational Differences Among Vietnamese Americans
Exploring intergenerational communication and stress in refugee families
More than half of the refugees who have resettled to the United States in recent years have been youth. Refugee youth have often witnessed or experienced violence and family separation prior to resettlement and face barriers to successful resettlement such as language and educational challenges. These factors elevate risk for mental and emotional distress, and protective factors like strong familial relationships are important to promoting mental…
The Karen Chemical Dependency Collaboration
While refugee integration is defined as a bidirectional process of mutual learning and adaptation, in practice, the U.S. resettlement program continues to emphasize refugees' acculturation processes and places little emphasis on cultural or logistical adaptation of existing services. When adaptation does happen, it is often structured around dominant notions of health and well-being. There is a need to explore bidirectional integration processes …
The impact of resettlement on Karen refugee family relationships
Refugee resettlement policy in the United States prioritizes family reunification, meaning, resettling families that may have been separated for years are reuniting and reestablishing connections while integrating into a new culture. Scholarship on the impact of resettlement and integration has focused primarily on the individual level, despite evidence that strong family relationships are a documented protective factor for refugee families. This…
Forced Displacement and Alcohol Use in Two Karen Refugee Communities
Harmful alcohol use is a growing problem in refugee camps and in refugee resettlement communities in the USA. Exposure to conflict-related trauma, isolation and hopelessness in protracted refugee camp settings, and resettlement stress all contribute to potentially elevated levels of alcohol use. To date, there has been little academic research into the ways in which conflict-related displacement impacts harmful alcohol use and there exist almost …
Exploring Mental Health Screening Feasibility and Training of Refugee Health Coordinators
Forty-four refugee health coordinators responded to a subset of questions from a 28-item, national survey exploring the mental health training of refugee health coordinators and the feasibility of refugee mental health screening. Most participants reported that it would be possible to administer a brief mental health screen; however, only half had received any mental health training. A minority of participants identified symptoms of posttraumatic…
Exploring the Mental Health Effects of Political Trauma With Newly Arrived Refugees
We explored the mental health effects of war trauma and torture as described by 111 refugees newly arrived in the United States. We used ethnocultural methodologies to inform 13 culture-specific focus groups with refugees from Bhutan (34), Burma (23), Ethiopia (27), and Somalia (27). Contrary to the belief that stigma prevents refugees from discussing mental health distress, participants readily described complex conceptualizations of degrees of …
Asset Mapping as a Research Tool for Community-Based Participatory Research in Social Work
Participatory research approaches such as community-based participatory research (CBPR) have emerged as an innovative way of conducting social work research. As social work researchers increasingly incorporate participatory approaches, they adopt and adapt research methods and procedures to fit participatory models. One such procedure, asset mapping, provides an appropriate method for conducting research and is particularly well suited to both th…
An Opportunity for Social Work Researchers
Objectives: Recruitment of the needed doctoral level social workers is impeded upon when doctoral graduates experience greater educational debt burden, modest salaries, and limited opportunities for student loan debt repayment. The purpose of this article is to describe a promising opportunity to reduce doctoral level social workers’ educational debt, the National Institutes of Health Loan Repayment Program (NIH LRP). Methods: Based on the author…
