The Better Future International’s family care model in Tanzania
This article describes the impact on social services of an innovative model of family care in Moshi, Tanzania, aimed at orphaned children and youth who are affected by HIV/AIDS and their caregivers.

Motivating Women With Substance Abuse and Intimate Partner Violence
Social workers working in substance abuse settings often find that their clients are also survivors of intimate partner violence.

We describe specific strategies to increase clients' motivation and offer specific skills to ad…
Engaging and Treating the Substance-Abusing Latina
We asked Latinas in treatment how to facilitate their engagement. Qualitative analysis yielded the following lessons learned: (1) At first contact, take a nonjudgmental approach sensitive to expectations of “respeto” and “dignidad.” (2) At intake, be sensitive to cultural expectations of “personalismo,” “respeto” and “dignidad.” Pace intake so personal relationships can develop. When verifying information and checking for contraband, be aware the…

Themes that emerged from our qualitative analysis suggest both gender and culture shaped our Latina substance abusers' experi…
Depression, Acculturation, and Motivations for Alcohol Use among Young Colombian, Dominican, and Puerto Rican Men
Increasing numbers of young Hispanic men are being treated for alcohol abuse and its consequences. To provide culturally competent services, there must be an understanding of subcultural differences in the antecedents of alcohol abuse and drinking problems. The present study examined the impact of depression, acculturation, and motivations as antecedents for drinking and drinking-related problems among 288 Colombian, Dominican, and Puerto Rican m…
Fear, Crime, Community Organization, and Limitations on Daily Routines
Fear, crime, and self-imposed, isolating restrictions on activities lower the quality of urban life. The impact of community characteristics upon such restrictions has received minimal attention, although the community has long held a place in theories addressing the origin and prevention of crime. This study explores the effects of both formal and informal community organization on such behavior, mediated by fear of crime and victimization. Find…
Primary Groups in Old Age
The effects of aging and its correlates on the structure and function of primary groups in a modern industrial society are examined using the theoretical framework suggested by Litwak and Szelenyi (1969). After a brief summary of the basic theoretical assumptions, a series of factors are discussed that affect primary group structure and function in old age in unique ways. Alternative theories are reviewed. Some measurement issues are examined, an…
