Two primary themes emerged: their shared experience of living with internal pressures related to cultural aspects of religion, education, and the role of family, and external pressures in raising their bicultural children, primarily coming from family and society.","PeriodicalId":45824,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnic & Cultural Diversity in Social Work","volume":"32 1","pages":"130 - 142"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15313204.2021.1949773","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41716876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chinese societies are rapidly aging. Thus, it has been increasingly significant to provide death education to enlighten the public on the importance of making plans and the information of current end-of-life care services and support. However, such educational programs are lacking in the literature. To fill the void, the team designed a culturally sensitive death education program and tested it with community-dwelling older adults in China. In this paper, we described the program design and reported some practice-related observations on the individual, family, health care providers, organization, and legal levels, hoping to shed light on designing and implementing death education programs for older adults in Chinese societies.","PeriodicalId":45824,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnic & Cultural Diversity in Social Work","volume":"32 1","pages":"124 - 129"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15313204.2021.1937429","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45859619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The qualitative research method was based on 15 interviews with Muslim women aged 23–44. Three themes emerged. 1) Independence focuses on the empowering role of encounters with Jewish women, facilitating resistance of the patriarchal relationships with their families of origin. 2) A change in perception of motherhood, focuses on the shift in childrearing practices, from the patriarchal-cultural approach to honoring children’s individuality. 3) Change in social perception, focuses on the shift from patriarchal obedience to wielding the right for self-expression. The present study contribution is in broadening the understanding the empowering potential of women’s intercultural encounters, they can assist those women in transforming personal, gender, and cultural worldviews in their struggle to be free from violence.","PeriodicalId":45824,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnic & Cultural Diversity in Social Work","volume":"32 1","pages":"79 - 90"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15313204.2021.1913779","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45371729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a social constructionist conceptual framework as well as a critical discourse analysis, I will explicate the perpetuating limitations of the current disparities research agenda and propose cultural reflexivity in framing future research that may be more equitable and inclusive for Asian American health and well-being.","PeriodicalId":45824,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnic & Cultural Diversity in Social Work","volume":"32 1","pages":"102 - 114"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15313204.2021.1913778","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44183458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A meta-analysis synthesized the findings of seven studies published between 2010 and 2020. The sample-weighted, pooled estimate among the most internally valid, experimental studies suggested that the chances of being hired and so gainfully employed were 40% lower among Muslim women wearing the hijab than they were among, otherwise similar, Muslim women not wearing the hijab: relative risk (RR) = 0.60 within a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 0.54, 0.67. This religion-based discrimination effect was deemed hugely significant in human, public health and policy senses. Immigration trends suggest that millions of Muslim women in the west likely experienced such employment discrimination over the past generation, and millions more are bound to similarly suffer over the next generation if policy status quos are retained. It seems that much of the relatively greater employment discrimination experienced by Muslim women who wear the hijab is due largely to potential employers' prejudicial reactions to the hijab itself. Practice and policy implications and future research needs are discussed.","PeriodicalId":45824,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnic & Cultural Diversity in Social Work","volume":"32 1","pages":"115 - 123"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15313204.2020.1870601","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44651554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though a cadre of all youth experience various problem behaviors such as delinquency, interpersonal violence, and substance use, multiracial adolescents appear to be at an increased risk. Early work suggests that this risk may be predicated upon their multiracial background becoming more salient during the already challenging developmental period of adolescence. This study attempted to extend upon these findings and examined the mediating effects of alcohol use and parental involvement on dating violence victimization among multiracial youth. Results suggest that greater parental monitoring among multiracial youth is associated with greater alcohol use, and, in turn, dating violence victimization.","PeriodicalId":45824,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnic & Cultural Diversity in Social Work","volume":"32 1","pages":"91 - 101"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15313204.2020.1870602","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48518509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
