Methods: Five databases were searched from inception to August 2026. Eleven studies yielded 73 effect sizes; uncontrolled pre–post and controlled between-condition effects were modeled separately. Results: Most studies were at serious or critical risk of bias. During participation, youth improved from posttraumatic stress ( g = 0.70, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.20, 1.20]) and internalizing symptoms ( g = 0.59, 95% CI [0.24, 0.94]); other domains were positive but imprecise. In four controlled comparisons, no domain showed a detectable AAI advantage; the posttraumatic stress point estimate favored the comparators ( g = −0.30, 95% CI [−1.47, 0.87]) but did not establish a difference. Discussion: Improvement during participation was observed, but incremental benefit was not. AAIs are best considered potential engagement adjuncts requiring direct evaluation rather than stand-alone trauma treatments.","PeriodicalId":47993,"journal":{"name":"Research on Social Work Practice","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149305075","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}

Method A quasi-experimental pretest, posttest, six-week follow-up, and control-group design with matched-pair allocation was used. From 138 undergraduate applicants, 32 students with low adjustment scores were allocated to experimental and control groups ( n = 16 each). The experimental group completed 10 weekly online sessions; the control group received no intervention. Results Significant Time × Group interactions emerged for overall, personal, and academic adjustment. Improvements in overall and personal adjustment were maintained at follow-up, whereas the academic-adjustment gain was not sustained. Social adjustment increased in the experimental group, although this finding requires caution because of baseline differences and a control-group decline. Participants reported high satisfaction. Discussion Findings provide preliminary support for online psychoeducational group work as a preventive and developmental component of university social work services.","PeriodicalId":47993,"journal":{"name":"Research on Social Work Practice","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149124013","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}

Method Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews guidance, a search of five databases plus reference-list hand-searching identified 259 records; eight studies met inclusion criteria. Data were synthesized through descriptive mapping and thematic analysis. Results Six themes emerged, including cultural responsiveness, family engagement, school-based delivery, and peer support. Only one intervention was culturally adapted for Latino youth. No study used a validated engagement measure, engagement indicators were not comparable, only one study reported confidence intervals, and the single trial testing a family-centered adapted intervention against usual care found no between-group difference. Discussion Cultural responsiveness is best understood as a plausible but untested mechanism rather than a demonstrated one. School social workers should document participation and retention by language and ethnicity.","PeriodicalId":47993,"journal":{"name":"Research on Social Work Practice","volume":"135 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148821092","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}

AOT is a court-ordered, community-based treatment approach for individuals living with serious mental illness. Method Quantitative data were collected for 220 AOT participants in Kentucky from July 2020 through December 2025 using administrative data, provider-completed administrative interviews, and structured interviews with program participants. Data were collected at program entry, 6-month follow-up, and 12-month follow-up using the National Outcome Measures. Results Descriptive findings showed reductions in psychiatric hospitalization and psychiatric emergency department use, generally high medication adherence with improvement by 12-month follow-up, increases in employment, and improvements in self-reported mental health. Discussion These findings are broadly consistent with prior AOT evaluations. Continued research efforts are needed to monitor AOT implementation and participant outcomes over time.","PeriodicalId":47993,"journal":{"name":"Research on Social Work Practice","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148821093","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}
