Identifying Multilevel Community Supervision Challenges to Inform Diversion Approaches for People With Mental Illnesses
Efforts to divert people with mental illnesses from the criminal legal system are widespread among mental health and criminal justice authorities. Most diversion efforts focus on directing individuals with mental illnesses to treatment; however, these treatment-focused interventions are an insufficient approach to diverting people with mental illnesses from the criminal legal system and fail to adequately address organizational and system-level f…
Effective Probation Strategies to Respond to Signals of Poor Progress on Community Supervision
With over 4 million adults under community supervision and an average of 30% that do not fare well, an unanswered question is which strategies reduce the likelihood of technical, absconding, and new arrest violations during the early phase of supervision. Utilizing data on 32,335 moderate to high-supervised individuals on supervision in North Carolina, the study found that success during the first 6 months is due to probation officers’ use of inc…
Virtual Reality Job Interview Training for Adults Receiving Prison-Based Employment Services
Returning citizens struggle to obtain employment after release from prison and navigating job interviews is a critical barrier they encounter. Implementing evidence-based interview training is a major gap in prison-based vocational services. We conducted a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the feasibility and initial effectiveness of Virtual Reality Job Interview Training (VR-JIT) within two prisons. Forty-four male returning citizens…
Strategies for supervising people with mental illnesses on probation caseloads
Probation officers are tasked with supervising the largest number of people living with mental illnesses in the criminal legal system, with an estimated 16–27% of individuals on probation identified as having a mental health condition. While academic research has recently focused on building the evidence base around the prototypical model of specialty mental health probation, less focus has been directed to the individual components of specialize…
Individuals With Mental Illnesses on Probation
Little research exists about PTSD and traumatic experiences among justice-involved individuals with mental illnesses and how those experiences differ by race and gender. We examined traumatic experiences and PTSD among 187 individuals with serious mental illnesses on probation in the United States: 94% of participants experienced a traumatic event, rates of PTSD were highest among Black women ( p < .001), and rates of sexual assault were highest …
The Psychometric Properties of the Assertive Community Treatment Transition Readiness Scale (ATR)
Tiny Homes Are Huge for People Living With Serious Mental Illness
Purpose: A formative evaluation examined the acceptability and feasibility of tiny homes for people living with serious mental illness (SMI). Methods: The evaluation included four focus groups with people with SMI and service providers ( n = 28) and eight overnight stays with people with SMI. Results: The analysis identified six recommendations for tailoring the design of the tiny homes and the community where the homes will be located to meet th…
Notes from the Field
Understanding the unique health and behavioral health needs of refugees is critical to developing culturally sensitive interventions and services for this vulnerable population. This paper highlights the process of recruiting participants for a study exploring these needs for resettled refugee women from their own perspectives and the perspectives of resettlement service providers. We recruited 14 resettled refugee women and seven service provide…
Using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research to examine implementation determinants of specialty mental health probation
BACKGROUND: Specialty mental health probation (SMHP) is designed to improve outcomes for the large number of people with serious mental illnesses who are on probation and/or parole. The evidence for specialty mental health probation is promising; however, little is known about the implementation challenges and facilitators associated with SMHP. To address this gap, we used the consolidated framework for implementation research (CFIR) to analyze 2…
Educating the Next Generation of Public Health Social Work Leaders
This article reports the findings of a 2-day public health social work (PHSW) summit that brought together PHSW educators, practitioners, and administrators to generate ideas for preparing the next generation of PHSW leaders. Data from focus groups revealed four themes: the importance of PHSW in our healthcare delivery system, the need for public health social workers to develop their professional identity, the significance of branding/promoting …

Changing Rates of Mental Health Disorders Among Veterans Treated in the VHA During Troop Drawdown, 2007–2013
Assurance in Intervention Research
Objective: This article introduces Bayesian assurance as an alternative to traditional power analysis in intervention research. Bayesian assurance is defined as the unconditional probability of identifying an intervention effect. Method: Assurance can be calculated as the expected statistical power based on a prior distribution of the unknown parameters related to the effect size. Using Monte Carlo simulation methods, we demonstrate Bayesian assu…
Statewide mental health training for probation officers
BACKGROUND: The large and growing number of probationers with mental illnesses pose significant challenges to the probationer officers who supervise them. Stigma towards mental illnesses among probation officers is largely unstudied and the effectiveness of training initiatives designed to educate probation officers about mental illness is unknown. To address these gaps in the literature, we report findings from a statewide mental health training…
Clinical Factors Associated with Successful Discharge from Assertive Community Treatment
Transitions from Assertive Community Treatment Among Urban and Rural Teams
Release Time and Academic Outcomes
This study examines the relationship between release time and academic outcomes. Release time programs allow public school students to be excused from classes to receive off-site religious or moral education. In large part due to the federal No Child Left Behind legislation, schools are under increasing pressure to raise test scores. Consequently, some observers have questioned release time programs based on the assumption that missed instruction…

Assertive Community Treatment as Community Change Intervention
Individuals with severe mental illnesses (SMI) are a vulnerable population, struggling to cope with fragmented and often unwelcoming community service systems. Research has examined Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) as an intervention for SMI individuals, but little research has explored ACT's potential as a community system change intervention. Using focus groups with ACT teams, we explored changes in community service systems as a result of A…

Measuring Foster Parent Potential
Objective: The Casey Foster Applicant Inventory-Applicant Version (CFAI-A) is a new standardized self-report measure designed to assess the potential to foster parent successfully. The CFAI-A is described, and results concerning its psychometric properties are presented. Method: Data from a sample of 304 foster mothers from 35 states are analyzed. Results: Six CFAI-A subscales were identified, and internal consistency reliability for these subsca…
Measuring Foster Parent Potential
Objective: This article examines the psychometric properties of the Casey Foster Applicant Inventory-Worker Version (CFAI-W), a questionnaire designed to assess the potential of foster family care applicants to provide foster care. Method: Retrospective data were collected from 208 foster care workers who completed two copies of the CFAI-W, one for the best foster family and one for the worst foster family they had ever known. Results: The CFAI-W…

Detecting and Statistically Correcting Sample Selection Bias
Researchers seldom realize 100% participation for any research study. If participants and non-participants are systematically different, substantive results may be biased in unknown ways, and external or internal validity may be compromised. Typically social work researchers use bivariate tests to detect selection bias (e.g., χ2 to compare the race of participants and non-participants). Occasionally multiple regression methods are used (e.g., log…

Foster Parents’ Perceptions of Factors that Promote or Inhibit Successful Fostering
Foster parents’ perceptions of familial and parental factors that promote or inhibit successful fostering were examined using semi-structured interviews. Characteristics that facilitate successful fostering include faith or support from church, a deep concern for children, tolerance, a strong cooperative marriage in married foster families, and a daily life that is characterized as organized and routinized but flexible in terms of responding to c…
