Longitudinal research on bullying network and social status was limited. This study aimed to examine the social status of four types of bullying roles and the dynamic interplay between social status and bullying network. The study involved 965 students (52.1 % boys) from 22 fourth- and fifth-grade classes in China, spanning the years 2020 and 2021. To construct bullying networks and gauge social status, participants completed peer nomination questionnaires. Multi-level model and stochastic actor-oriented model were used to construct binary and ternary network effects. The results showed that bystanders emerged with the highest social status, while those occupying the bully/victim role had the lowest. Concerning social acceptance status, the <em>ego</em> effect was not significant (Est = −0.08, <em>p</em> &gt; 0.05), but the <em>alter</em> effect was significant (Est = −0.19, <em>p</em> &lt; 0.05). That is, children with high social preference trended to decrease bullying ties, yet their victimization ties will not significantly change. For social preference status, the <em>ego</em> effect was significant (Est = −0.21, <em>p</em> &lt; 0.05), while the <em>alter</em> effect was not significant (Est = −0.04, <em>p</em> &gt; 0.05). That is, children with high social acceptance trended to decrease victimization ties, but their bullying ties remain relatively unchanged. This study contributes to our understanding of bullying as a group process and the associations with social status, and provides implications for preventing school bullying.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"174 ","pages":"Article 108330"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144098504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also noted unexplored categories of difference including disability and class, and limited research into the role of stigma resulting specifically from being in out-of-home care.

Healthcare access is a critical component of well-being among youth leaving foster care. Yet, few studies have sought to synthesize knowledge focused on healthcare access for youth leaving foster care, specifically and comprehensively. This scoping review aims to identify and analyze the gaps in the knowledge base regarding barriers to and facilitators of healthcare access for youth transitioning out of foster care in the U.S. The authors used the JBI Scoping Review Protocol and engaged in reference harvesting to evaluate the existing literature (n = 33 articles) to understand what hinders and facilitates healthcare access among this population. Studies were included if they explored factors affecting healthcare access among U.S. youth transitioning out of foster care and were published between 2013–2023. Barriers to access included lacking knowledge or experience, insufficient support systems, concerns with confidentiality and trust, treatment accessibility, availability and coverage, stigma and judgment, housing and community instability, as well as provider- (e.g., being inconsistent) and intervention-specific (e.g., manuals too wordy) characteristics. Facilitators to access included encouraging support systems, quality and legitimacy of services, intervention-specific factors (e.g., web-based), health insurance, the necessity of healthcare services, and finances. The findings highlight multitude of complex personal, social, and structural barriers and facilitators impacting youth’s ability to access healthcare while transitioning out of foster care. Practice, policy, and research recommendations are extensively discussed, including increased education for youth and caregivers, expansion of Medicaid, and continued evaluation of underlying drivers of healthcare service use.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"173 ","pages":"Article 108317"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143932055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More importantly, the working conditions and the amount of workload that most of the CWW must deal with often lead to negative experiences like sick leave, intention to quit, and turnover. The current study has examined two things, first, what are the common challenges CWW are exposed to in their line of work? And second, how does support help CWW cope (in terms of resources) with the numerous work pressure and the impact of these experiences? An in-depth interview of sixteen CWW make up the data for the present study. Thematic analysis of the data produced three distinct themes; “complexities attached to the roles as CWW”, “challenges with the system”, and “being in the same boat”. The employment of Hobfoll s Conservation of resources model allows for a deeper and broader understanding of the nature of work among these CWW.

To date, little is known about what characteristics and strategies enhance ToL within child welfare contexts. Consequently, this scoping review synthesizes published information on methodological characteristics of ToL studies published from 1998 to 2020, ToL definitions and assessment strategies, as well as factors (individual characteristics, organizational factors, training/reinforcement strategies) that influence ToL within child welfare contexts. Systematic review procedures yielded <em>N</em> = 21 studies, representing <em>n</em> = 17 unique projects, which were included for data extraction and qualitative synthesis utilizing a descriptive analytic framework. Findings identify a range of designs, but few (<em>n</em> = 4) studies utilized rigorous methodology (i.e., RCTs) that would allow for clear determination of causality. Most studies relied on participant self-reports to assess ToL and focused on training related to engagement, interviewing, assessment, developing service plans, and decision-making skills. Individual characteristics associated with enhancing ToL included learning readiness, attitude towards training, trainee motivation, and perceived ability. Organizational characteristics facilitating ToL included management/supervisory support and organizational culture that promotes continuous learning. Successful training and reinforcement strategies included post-training case consultation and group coaching, immediate feedback following live supervision and simulated scenarios, role plays, video examples, and feedback on practice recordings. Recommendations for future research include utilizing rigorous methodological designs and objective ToL assessment strategies. Findings suggest several strategies that can be integrated into practice before, during, and after training to maximize ToL. Finally, policies and funding for training child welfare professionals should consider provisions to promote modifiable individual and organizational characteristics, as well as the training/reinforcement strategies identified in this review.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"174 ","pages":"Article 108322"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143946544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The programs evaluated varied across studies and included Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), and Positive Behaviour Support (PBS). Common program components included behaviour assessments, skills teaching interventions, and relationship-based interventions. Common practice components included child-centred planning and family/carer training. Fewer studies incorporated aspects of trauma-informed practice and culturally responsive practice.
