Expenditure patterns among low‐income families in China
Low‐income families in urbsan China have been benefited from the Minimum Living Standard Guarantee Assistance ( dibao ) policy since 1999. However, little is known about how child‐specific family expenditure patterns impact child outcomes. Based on 2531 children aged 8–16 years from the National Survey of Social Policy Support System for Low‐Income Families in Urban and Rural China, this is the first study of its kind to (1) identify family expen…
Psychological Well-Being of Left-Behind Children in China
China's migrant population has significantly contributed to its economic growth; however, the impact on the well-being of left-behind children (LBC) has become a serious public health problem. Text mining is an effective tool for identifying people's mental state, and is therefore beneficial in exploring the psychological mindset of LBC. Traditional data collection methods, which use questionnaires and standardized scales, are limited by their sa…

Community-based approaches to social exclusion among rural-to-urban migrants in China
Rural-to-urban migrants in China face numerous forms of social exclusion. This article argues that community-based approaches offer innovative ways with which to tackle the problems of social exclusion for rural-to-urban migrants, yet these approaches have been neglected. This article first provides an overview of the concept of social exclusion, as developed by Western European scholarship and policy discourse. Next, it examines the ways in whic…
Stuck in Place

Social Service Utilization, Sense of Community, Family Functioning and the Mental Health of New Immigrant Women in Hong Kong
Drawing upon a sample of 296 new immigrant women in Hong Kong, this study investigated how social service utilization, family functioning, and sense of community influenced the depressive symptoms of new immigrant women. Results of the structural equation modeling suggested that family functioning and sense of community were both significantly and negatively associated with the depression of new immigrant women. Utilization of community services …
Exploring the community-based service delivery model
In response to the rapidly growing need for social services among China’s population, particularly for older people, the government has begun to explore the community-based service delivery model. Using the recent developments in China’s care of older people as a case study example, this article documents the progress of community-based service delivery for the aged living in the community, and explores the community’s evolving role in China’s so…
Types and Sources of Support Received by Family Caregivers of Older Adults from Diverse Racial and Ethnic Groups
This study examines racial and ethnic variations in the types and sources of support caregivers receive. We conducted telephone surveys of 1,643 randomly selected respondents in California who provided care to someone age 50 or over. African-American, Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latino, and white caregivers were compared with regard to support received from formal and informal sources. Patterns of support use were found to vary by racial/eth…
Sense of Community, Neighboring, and Social Capital as Predictors of Local Political Participation in China
This study examines the state of sense of community, neighboring behavior, and social capital in the People’s Republic of China, and explores their ability to predict local political participation, in the form of voting in elections for Urban Resident/Rural Villager Committees. Using a nationally representative survey, rural, older and married residents and those with a primary or high school education and higher perceived socio‐economic status a…
Racial and Ethnic Variations in Caregiver Service Use
Objectives: This article examines whether race and ethnicity contribute to the differential use of caregiver support services, when controlling for caregiver and care recipient characteristics, as represented by predisposing, enabling, and need factors included in the Behavioral Model of Health Services Use. Methods: The study includes 1,508 individuals who provide care to an ill or disabled adult aged 50 or older, identified through a random dig…
Making the Transition from Welfare to Work
This study describes welfare-to-work participants in the San Francisco Bay Area, support services, experiences with the CalWORKs program, and predictors of employment status in the wake of welfare reform. Findings indicate that many are working and more Stayers and Recidivists than Leavers are using food stamps and Medi-Cal. Multivariate analysis reveals that race and financial supports were the significant factors contributing to employability, …
Methods and Challenges of Analyzing Spatial Data for Social Work Problems
Increasingly, social work researchers are interested in examining how "place" and "location" contribute to social problems. Yet, often these researchers do not use the specialized spatial statistical techniques developed to handle the analytic issues faced when conducting ecological analyses. This article explains the importance of these techniques when analyzing spatial data, describes appropriate spatial statistical techniques, provides an illu…
Urban community in China
With the rapid urbanisation and population growth in the cities, the People's Republic of China has recognised the importance of community development based on an ever‐increasing demand for social services. In 1994, the Chinese government adopted community service as an alternative way of providing the supplemental safety net in urban areas. Along with this top‐down approach, resident‐initiated activities, participation and grassroots organisatio…

Racial and Ethnic Differences in Family Caregiving in California
Family caregivers are the main source of long-term care for older persons in the United States. At the same time, cultural values and beliefs shape decisions surrounding who provides care and whether families use formal support interventions to assist the caregiver. The current article examines how the family caregiving experience differs among racial and ethnic groups in terms of caregiver characteristics, service utilization, caregiver strain, …
Racial/Ethnic Disparities in the Use of Mental Health Services in Poverty Areas
Objectives. This study examined racial/ethnic disparities in mental health service access and use at different poverty levels. Methods. We compared demographic and clinical characteristics and service use patterns of Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians living in low-poverty and high-poverty areas. Logistic regression models were used to assess service use patterns of minority racial/ethnic groups compared with Whites in different poverty areas.…

Achieving economic self-sufficiency through employment is the ultimate goal of recent changes to the welfare program. The Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) population is most vulnerable to failing in this goal because of language difficulty, low education levels and lack of job skills in the labor market. Many AAPI immigrants, and Southeast Asian Americans in particular, suffer from adjustment and mental health problems due to their expe…
Multiservice Centers in Chinese American Immigrant Communities
This article presents a multiservice center approach to service delivery in three Chinese immigrant communities in the United States. The operation of this approach is characterized by the DECENT (developmental, educational, comprehensive, empowerment, networking, and teamwork) principle. These multiservice centers were found to be successful and well received in meeting the needs of the community. However, the well-being of the immigrant communi…
Differentiating urban neighborhoods
The recent, renewed interest in community-based practice calls for comprehensive service delivery at the local neighborhood level. To attain this goal one must first conduct thorough assessments to gain an understanding of the multifaceted social problems communities confront. Using census and administrative agency records, this study describes a multivariable model for the development of a citywide neighborhood typology. The occurrence rates of …
Was There a Social Transformation of Urban Neighbourhoods in the 1980s? A Decade of Worsening Social Conditions in Cleveland, Ohio, USA
One central thesis in recent urban poverty research, that social context has further disadvantaged poor residents of central-city neighbourhoods, has not been tested empirically. This analysis examines the strength of relationships among adverse social conditions in neighbourhoods in one North American industrial city. Using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, the hypothesis that negative social conditions have become increasingly inter…
Geographic Concentration of Affluence and Poverty in 100 Metropolitan Areas, 1990
The geographic concentration of poverty and affluence is examined for the 100 largest metropolitan areas. Concentration of poverty and affluence are uncorrelated, but metropolitan areas can be classified into five types based on six indices of concentration and affluence. The types differ significantly in their racial and ethnic segregation, the relative advantage of the central city as compared to the suburbs, and the economic inequality in the …

Urban Emergency Food Center Clients
The clients of emergency hunger centers in an urban area were studied to assess the problem of hunger from the clients' vantage point. The findings indicate that hunger remains a problem even among those who have availed themselves of emergency food services. A great deal of time and effort is spent in activities to cope with hunger. The adequacy of the present system for meeting the needs of the hungry and implications for policy are discussed
Interaction Effects in Multiple Regression
Multiple regression is widely used for the analysis of nonexperimental data by investigators in social work and social welfare. Most published studies test additive models in which the effects of each independent variable on the dependent variable are assumed to be constant across all levels of additional independent variables. Tests are seldom made for the presence of interacting or modifier effects. This article discusses the concept of interac…
