Rural and urban variation in mobile health substance use disorder treatment mechanisms and efficacy
Residents of rural areas face significant barriers to substance use disorder (SUD) treatment, including poor access, stigma, lack of confidentiality, and distrust of mental health services, which may inhibit treatment engagement. Mobile health (mHealth) approaches offer personalized, private, and easily accessible SUD treatment for rural residents, but differences in treatment mechanisms and efficacy across rural and urban regions are unknown. Th…

Urban and Rural Differences in the Efficacy of a Mobile Health Depression Treatment for Young Adults
Depression among young adults represents a growing health problem in the U.S., but access to effective treatment remains a challenge. Mobile health (mHealth) approaches promise to deliver accessible and effective depression treatment; however, questions remain regarding how mHealth depression treatment efficacy may vary geographically based on urban and rural environmental contexts. The present study addresses this knowledge gap by leveraging dat…
Challenging Notions of Children’s “Participation” in the Youth Justice System
A child’s right to participate in decision making is seminally proclaimed in Article 12, uncrc . Yet, it is often the case that the rhetoric associated with children’s “participation rights” does not reflect practice. Especially in the case of the youth justice system, significant challenges exist concerning both notions of the right to participate and how it translates into and influences what should be appropriate interventions for young people…
Environmental Impacts on Behavioral Health Interventions
Relatively little scholarly attention has been given to incorporating geographic principles into investigations of behavioral health intervention efficacy—where, and why, a behavioral health intervention might be more effective in one place versus another. We address this research gap by leveraging data from a randomized controlled trial in a post-hoc analysis to investigate whether socioeconomic deprivation in the residential neighborhood modera…

Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Social Worker Satisfaction Scale
Purpose: Job satisfaction in social work has been widely studied, and yet continuity measurement tools utilized to assess job satisfaction among social workers are rare. The purpose of this study was to validate the use of the Social Work Satisfaction Scale (SWSS) with U.S.-based social workers. Moreover, we sought to examine the validity of the scale across rural, suburban, and urban designations. Method: A sample of U.S.-based social workers ( …
Predicting Self-Medication with Cannabis in Young Adults with Hazardous Cannabis Use
Using cannabis to reduce psychological and physical distress, referred to as self-medication, is a significant risk factor for cannabis use disorder. To better understand this high-risk behavior, a sample of 290 young adults (ages 18-25; 45.6% female) were recruited from two U.S. universities in January and February of 2020 to complete a survey about their cannabis use and self-medication. Results: seventy-six percent endorsed using cannabis to r…
Impacts of the Covid-19 Pandemic on a Rural Opioid Support Services Program
During 2020, Kentucky saw the third highest increase in overdose deaths in the U.S. Employment issues, inadequate housing, transportation problems, and childcare needs present barriers to accessing treatment in rural areas. These barriers and others (e.g., technology) arose during the pandemic negatively affecting individuals in recovery and service providers as they adjusted services to provide primarily telehealth and remote services. This stud…
Reducing Risk for Adolescent Substance Misuse with Text-Delivered Counseling to Adolescents and Parents
Background: Text-delivered prevention programs provide unique opportunities to deliver substance use prevention interventions to at-risk populations. Methods: A pilot randomized controlled trial was conducted to test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a 4-week, automated personalized text-messaging prevention program, designed to reduce risk factors and increase protective factors associated with adolescent substance use …
Participant Recruitment in Social Work
With the widespread adoption of social media, researchers are finding new ways to conduct research involving human subjects. Health-related fields have begun to use social media for participant recruitment. However, the social work profession has been slow to adopt the use of social media recruitment techniques. This article describes experiences of a team of social work researchers who used social media to recruit participants for a national sur…
Work Experiences of Rural Social Workers in the United States
Rural social workers face unique challenges and opportunities as they seek to address the needs of rural Americans. Using social media, rural social workers in the U.S. were recruited to describe their characteristics and explore factors related to their job satisfaction, burnout, and organizational commitment. Analyses included univariate descriptive statistics, bivariate correlations, and multiple regression. The sample (N = 192) represented 14…
The role of sex, executive functioning, and perceptions of safety on urban adolescent substance use
Background: Perceptions of safety within one’s activity space (commonly frequented locations) reduces risk for adolescent substance use. Less is known about urban adolescents’ neuropsychological vulnerabilities to substance use and how these may interact with activity space risk. Questions regarding how male and female adolescents respond to these interactions have yet to be sufficiently studied. Method: To examine these interactions, we conducte…

The Education of Negroes in Georgia
There are more Negroes in Georgia than there are in any other state.

An Evaluation of the Accredited Secondary Schools for Negroes in the South
The early procedures of appraisal were restricted almost entirely to testing of a rather limited kind, but today it is generally agreed that evaluation is an essential part of the educational program. It serves, for the school personnel, the same purpose that road-maps and road-signs serve for drivers along the highway. The good school recognizes the significance of having objective techniques for appraising its efforts. In the words of Dr. Ralph…
