Although OTC cough medicine is widely seen as nonharmful due to its ease of access, misuse can lead to tachycardia, seizures, dissociative effects, and dependence. Despite these risks, little is known regarding the correlates and outcomes of OTC cough medicine misuse. This study examined correlations of having misused OTC cough medicine and past-year misuse of prescription drugs, with a specific focus on differences among age, gender, and race/ethnicity. Bivariate relationships were first examined using Pearson's chi-square tests, with OTC cough medicine misuse being significantly related to prescription drug misuse, older age, cigarette use, marijuana use, and binge drinking. Using logistic regression, OTC cough medicine misuse was shown to be a significant predictor of past-year prescription drug misuse (adjusted odds ratio = 5.22, 95% confidence interval [3.57, 7.64]). Additional logistic regression models were used to assess for interaction effects for age, gender, and race/ethnicity, with all three variables acting as significant moderators.","PeriodicalId":47424,"journal":{"name":"Health & Social Work","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143651452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Logistic regression showed the individuals' likelihood of using mental health services was increased with having a mental health problem (depression or anxiety), being Hispanic, being other non-Black/Asian racial/ethnic minority, being relatively educated, having relatively high family income, being widowed/separated/divorced, being unmarried, and having Medicaid coverage. In turn, likelihood of using mental health services was declined with age and with birth outside the United States. In this study, no link was observed between services use and 10 factors: gender, Black, Asian, U.S. citizenship, employment status, private health insurance coverage, Medicare coverage, time in the United States, English-language proficiency, and psychological distress. Implications of the study's results include the need to broaden Medicaid eligibility, increase funding for community centers serving immigrants, and offer mental health care providers in-service training on aging adults' mental health needs and on various cultural beliefs involving mental health and its treatment.","PeriodicalId":47424,"journal":{"name":"Health & Social Work","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143630915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, information is unavailable on these associations, especially with the older generation of refugee populations. Authors examined the association and explored which disability and chronic diseases might be associated with depressive symptoms among 208 Vietnamese-origin older adults (≥65 years) from the Vietnamese Aging and Care Survey (VACS) in the United States. Study participants were 56.2 percent female on average 75.4 years old with low average education and socioeconomic status. Most (80 percent) rated their health as fair/poor. Regression analyses showed significant associations between functional disability (i.e., ADL and IADL) and chronic diseases (i.e., arthritis and liver disease) and higher depressive symptoms. Complications from chronic conditions and pain might limit daily activities and impact older Vietnamese psychologically. Social workers can connect older Vietnamese and their families with culturally and linguistically relevant adult daycare centers to provide them with social and exercise opportunities. Policymakers can also help these Vietnamese families to have easier access to the facilities by allocating more financial resources for their social service needs.","PeriodicalId":47424,"journal":{"name":"Health & Social Work","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143626383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Twenty-five leaders from one southeastern state completed five open-ended survey questions regarding workforce wellness. Results indicate that these leaders defined workforce wellness in terms of creating a healthy workplace, encouraging employees to prioritize well-being, promoting work-life balance, implementing initiatives aimed at promoting wellness, and providing wellness trainings. Leaders were less clear about their role related to wellness. Almost half of participants reported implementing workforce wellness initiatives, with most reporting barriers to doing so and wanting to do more in the future. The findings of this study have implications for the preparation of healthcare leaders and the development of organizational interventions that build from the workforce wellness conceptualizations that leaders hold.","PeriodicalId":47424,"journal":{"name":"Health & Social Work","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143617599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several studies have examined the relationship between American Indians and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) by examining sexual risk behaviors. However, few studies have explored sexual risk behaviors through the lens of attachment theory. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the association between sexual risk behaviors and attachment style among American Indian emerging adults who were raised in stepfamilies. A structural equation model was used to examine the relationship between the latent variables, anxious and avoidant attachment style, and the dependent variable of sexual risk behavior. This study found a significant association between sexual risk behaviors and (a) anxious attachment style, (b) income, and (c) gender. This study yields important findings about the nature of sexual risk behavior and STI development among American Indians raised in stepfamilies and prompts further study into the development of attachment relationships and additional considerations that may influence sexual risk behavior among this population.","PeriodicalId":47424,"journal":{"name":"Health & Social Work","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143606532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
