This trend, coupled with evidence that programs employing a greater number of empirically supported practices achieve more positive effects for youth participants, has prompted increasing interest in how to promote more widespread use of evidence-based practice standards in mentoring programs. In an effort to describe and better understand efforts to implement recommended standards, we studied a multi-level initiative sponsored by a national advocacy organization in which its state-level Affiliates guided local mentoring programs through a structured quality improvement process. Specifically, we examined organizational readiness for change among mentoring program staff as well as among staff from the state-level Affiliates charged with supporting the mentoring programs as they implemented their change process. Analysis of in-depth qualitative interviews with 44 staff indicated that programs and supporting Affiliates were generally highly motivated and committed to the change process. However, because this enthusiasm was not always accompanied by the resources needed to make program change, staff were more measured in their perceptions of change efficacy and noted corresponding challenges that weakened the implementation process. Implications of these findings for practice and future research are discussed.","PeriodicalId":51692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Society for Social Work and Research","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2021-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83612254","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}

Svensson, Björn Johnson","doi":"10.1086/712894","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/712894","url":null,"abstract":"Objective: Family members of a person with drug addiction often experience negative impacts on their lives and face barriers to seeking professional support. More knowledge is needed about such barriers so they can be reduced. This article examines the help-seeking experiences of parents of adult children with drug addiction, a group that has received little attention in research. Method: We conducted in-depth interviews with 32 parents of adult children with drug addiction in Sweden. Results: Parents described problems in encounters with social services and barriers to adequate support for their children. On a psychological level, they described feelings of shame and guilt, negative views of social services, and fear of stigma and loss of control that were barriers to seeking professional support. On an interpersonal level, barriers to help were connected to problems in the interaction among parents, children, and social services. On a structural level, barriers pertain to deficiencies in the availability and quality of support measures, inadequate cooperation between authorities, and a shift in responsibility from the state to the individual and the family. Conclusions: Parents of children with drug addiction are a vulnerable group that often experience problems in their contacts with authorities. A more collaborative approach by social services may abate parents’ self-blame and concern and may strengthen their role in their children’s treatment process.","PeriodicalId":51692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Society for Social Work and Research","volume":"32 1","pages":"677 - 704"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79467102","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}

It also critiques traditional practices for evaluating measurement invariance and suggests new strategies (e.g., use of equivalence testing, incorporation of effect size information) for evaluating invariance. Method: To evaluate unidimensionality across different ethnic groups, we used confirmatory factor analysis followed by invariance testing with forward and backward approaches. Results: We explored ethnic differences in the correlational structure of the four BSI-18 subscales (depression, somatization, anxiety, and panic) and ethnic differences in mean levels of the subscales. We found no strong evidence for differences in psychometric properties of the BSI-18 across ethnic groups. Conclusions: The BSI-18 showed reasonable evidence of invariance across ethnic groups. Expanded methods for invariance testing should be considered in place of the more traditional methods.","PeriodicalId":51692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Society for Social Work and Research","volume":"22 1","pages":"755 - 787"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2021-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79083262","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}

Although these apps offer some positive benefits (e.g., friendship, romantic relationships), their use is also related to negative body image, which has negative health and mental health consequences. As such, it is critical to identify predictors (e.g., socioeconomic status) of body image among individuals who use dating/hook-up mobile apps. Understanding how socioeconomic status (SES) relates to body image has the potential to inform interventions, including policy-level efforts, that aim to improve body image. Method: We examined relationships among SES and two measures of body image (i.e., body image self-consciousness and body appreciation) while controlling for age, gender identity, and race among a sample of cisgender adults in the United States who used a dating/hook-up app within the last month (N=342). Results: SES was significantly related to body appreciation and body image self-consciousness (β=−.28 and β=.54, respectively). Conclusions: Results suggest that SES may be related to body image, with low SES related to worse body image among this population. Our findings have implications for intervention research and societal-level efforts, such as policy interventions to mitigate poverty and socioeconomic disparities.","PeriodicalId":51692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Society for Social Work and Research","volume":"20 1","pages":"789 - 801"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2021-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83305526","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}

Using item response theory, we conducted a differential item functioning (DIF) analysis of the widely used Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) to evaluate whether the instrument demonstrates equivalence when assessing PTSD symptoms among men and women after a major disaster (N=410). Method: We used ordinal logistic regression and item response theory modeling to investigate the presence and impact of DIF across gender groups. Results: One item (“I had waves of strong feelings about the 2011 tornado”) exhibited DIF across the subgroups for men and women. However, the magnitude of the DIF was minimal and did not produce differential measurement error at the total IES-R scale score level. Conclusion: These findings provide evidence of measurement equivalence of the IES-R and confirms its usefulness in screening for PTSD across gender groups following a disaster event.","PeriodicalId":51692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Society for Social Work and Research","volume":"10 1","pages":"657 - 676"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2021-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86468705","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}
