Power dynamics in academia shape the landscape in which researchers implement these methods, yet are rarely understood and intentionally addressed. Through the lens of social work researchers at different career stages, this article describes how power relations within academia present challenges to community-engaged and participatory research across four stages of the research process (participant/researcher relationship, study formulation, conducting research, and publication/dissemination). These challenges are located within four domains of power identified by intersectionality scholars: Institutional policies such as those for tenure and promotion and for research administration presented challenges with the structural domain. Decisions about how to implement and enforce policies and operationalize what counts for tenure and promotion were identified as challenges within the disciplinary domain. Norms about who belongs on a university campus and what types of research are valued exemplified the cultural domain, while dynamics about who is viewed as an expert exemplified challenges the interpersonal domain. Across the research process, the article identifies potential solutions and suggests strategies for intentional consideration by academic researchers and their institutions to conduct meaningful, inclusive, and socially just research that shares power with community.","PeriodicalId":47282,"journal":{"name":"Social Work Research","volume":"380 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75156449","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In-depth semistructured interviews were used to facilitate dialogue with older undocumented adults about their economic security in the United States (N = 25). Participants were on average 61 years old (SD = 4.52), Latinx, and had resided in the United States an average of 23 years (SD = 7.05). More than 70% of the participants were employed; the remaining participants were not working due to poor health (n = 5), advanced age (n = 1), or being in between jobs (n = 1). Authors present a model to illustrate participants’ narratives on their economic (in)security in the United States. Some participants discussed having long-term security in their jobs while others described a cycle of job insecurity due to their status. Their precarious status limited their employment opportunities and earning potential. Their savings capacity is narrow; many did not have savings for emergencies, and less so for a time when they are no longer able to work. Many participants believe they will work until they are physically unable to continue working; others believe their children will be a source of support. Practitioners can engage undocumented immigrants in economic empowerment interventions and advocacy efforts to eliminate exploitation in the workplace. Policy change is needed to provide undocumented older adults the opportunity to achieve financial security.","PeriodicalId":47282,"journal":{"name":"Social Work Research","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76475005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, authors conducted a latent class analysis to generate latent profiles of women (N = 1,501) according to their housing status and household characteristics and assessed associations between classes and sociodemographic and behavioral characteristics and between classes and three HIV care outcomes: retention in care, viral suppression, and sustained viral suppression. A three-class model was selected using five dichotomized housing indicators: housing status, head of household status, living with minors, living with another adult, and disclosure of HIV status to adults with whom they live. While class 1 and class 2 had comparable HIV care outcomes, women in class 3-who were predominately unstably housed, living alone, and did not disclose their HIV status with those with whom they lived-had significantly lower crude odds of successful care outcomes. When accounting for sociodemographic and behavioral factors, significant differences in retention in care persisted. Findings underscore the need for tailored interventions for subgroups of low-income WLH and provide contextual details around the role of housing experiences.","PeriodicalId":47282,"journal":{"name":"Social Work Research","volume":"46 4","pages":"267-279"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9672486/pdf/svac015.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10187918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the purpose of the study, 559 social workers were sampled by means of structured questionnaires. Structural equation modeling was conducted to examine the proposed model. Accessibility of data and information resources and workplace social support were positively associated with self-efficacy, and role ambiguity was negatively associated with self-efficacy, which was in turn positively related to social workerss’ attitudes toward EBP. The findings of the current study may assist policymakers and professional supervisors in developing interventions designed to promote more positive attitudes toward EBP among social workers. In the effort to promote the integration of EBP in social services settings, the impact of organizational factors on social workerss’ work-related self-efficacy should be taken into account.","PeriodicalId":47282,"journal":{"name":"Social Work Research","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79563386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing CBT+ research has shown reductions in target clinical symptoms, but child welfare placement outcomes have not yet been assessed. The current study tested the effects of CBT+ on placement stability and psychiatric inpatient treatment use among youth in out-of-home care at one countywide CBT+ site. This study used a quasi-experimental design that compared three inverse probability-weighted groups: (1) 40 youth who received CBT+, (2) 38 youth referred for CBT+ but not served, and (3) 90 youth screened in as clinically eligible for CBT+ but not referred because they were receiving other services. Difference-in-differences estimates found that CBT+ significantly improved placement stability. Further, youth served by CBT+ had a greater reduction in psychiatric inpatient treatment use than those referred but not served, although this difference did not reach statistical significance. Findings from this study provide preliminary evidence for CBT+ effects on placement outcomes for youth in out-of-home care, contributing to the growing evidence for CBT+ as a promising intervention for child welfare–involved youth. Methodological limitations and considerations for further investigation are discussed.","PeriodicalId":47282,"journal":{"name":"Social Work Research","volume":"85 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82265583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A pretest–posttest control group design was used to assess a total of 25 participants at baseline, right after the final writing, and at one-month follow-up. Fifteen randomized experimental participants wrote about their stressful or traumatic experiences related to their immigration and acculturation, whereas 10 in the control group wrote about their daily routines for 15 to 20 minutes per day for three consecutive days. Mixed analyses of variance showed that participants in both writing conditions reported more acculturative stress and depressive symptoms right after the final writing. A two-way multivariate analysis of variance showed that the experimental group and female participants reported significantly fewer depressive symptoms at one-month follow-up relative to the control group and male participants; however, the same significant effect was not observed in acculturative stress. No significant interaction effect between writing conditions and gender was found on either of the outcome variables. EW can be a culturally sensitive and feasible short-term intervention for depressive symptoms among Korean immigrant older adults residing in areas lacking ethnic resources and services.","PeriodicalId":47282,"journal":{"name":"Social Work Research","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74132503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
