Home visiting (HV) is a promising venue for integrating brief interventions to address perinatal SU. We evaluated a digital screening and brief intervention for SU that is tailored to the HV context (e-SBI-HV).Materials and methods: The e-SBI-HV includes two digital sessions completed confidentially by clients plus home visitor facilitation protocols to promote e-SBI-HV integration into HV. The e-SBI-HV was pilot tested in New Jersey with 20 home visitors and 10 clients. A mixed-methods approach assessed recruitment and implementation feasibility, and program acceptability.Results: Eighty-five clients were referred and 14 enrolled over 2 years. e-SBI-HV completion rates were 90% for digital Session 1, 70% for Session 2, and 72.5% for the facilitation protocols. Average acceptability ratings were 4.03/5.00 for Session 1 and 3.93/5.00 for Session 2. Qualitative interviews with home visitors and clients revealed implementation facilitators and barriers.Discussion: Within the small sample that enrolled, feasibility and acceptability of the e-SBI-HV was supported. However, there were significant challenges reaching the target population. Qualitative interviews provided important feedback for refining the e-SBI-HV to improve reach within the HV setting, including the need for a prevention-oriented focus.Conclusion: While findings support the preliminary feasibility and acceptability of the e-SBI-HV, further research with a larger sample is needed to overcome significant implementation barriers and challenges identified in this study.","PeriodicalId":73742,"journal":{"name":"Journal of evidence-based social work (2019)","volume":" ","pages":"1-25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144710089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kinship families, who often navigate multiple systems concurrently with higher service needs, were among the most vulnerable. This study explores kinship caregivers' and child welfare professionals' perceptions of changes in service delivery during the pandemic, specifically the sudden shift to virtual platforms.Materials and methods: To understand participants' experiences, focus groups with protocols shaped by initial Delphi Rounds were implemented with 25 kinship caregivers and 34 child welfare professionals from a national sample.Results: Caregiver and professionals shared themes related to how COVID-19 precautions impacted service delivery; kinship families' access to, knowledge, and use of technology; and benefits and challenges for implementing virtual support.Discussion: Based on findings shared by participants, a model illustrating influencing factors for online service delivery was created highlighting technological capital, client factors, provider factors, and service type as key components. Implications of implementing online supports in practice are discussed, including technology access, training in social work education, and future research areas.Conclusion: Despite the many adversities the COVID-19 pandemic presented for professionals and kinship families, this unprecedented time also paved the way for us think differently about service accessibility and the benefits and challenges of online supports, especially in a world that is quickly moving toward automation. Considering both families' and professionals' perspectives is key to integrating virtual supports into the current service delivery landscape in equitable and effective ways.","PeriodicalId":73742,"journal":{"name":"Journal of evidence-based social work (2019)","volume":" ","pages":"1-33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144683671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This disconnect creates a significant gap between academic training and field realities. The study investigates how Nigerian social workers navigate tensions between professional values and indigenous traditions in their daily practice.Materials and methods: A qualitative approach using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was employed to explore the lived experiences of 15 social workers from schools, hospitals, and community centers in Enugu Metropolis. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically to understand how practitioners interpret and respond to cultural influences in their work.Results: Findings reveal that social workers face tensions between global professional ethics and local cultural expectations particularly around family authority, spirituality, communal decision-making, and traditional conflict resolution. Participants described ethical dilemmas including pressure to adopt informal practices such as cutting corners. Nevertheless, many found that culturally rooted approaches enhanced engagement and outcomes in community settings.Discussion and conclusion: The study underscores the need to decolonize Nigerian social work education by incorporating Afrocentric theories, indigenous knowledge systems, and critical reflections on Western models. Recommendations include revising social work curricula, developing culturally responsive ethical guidelines, and promoting advocacy-oriented training. These reforms are essential for producing practitioners who are both ethically grounded and culturally competent, capable of delivering transformative social work within Nigeria's complex cultural landscape.","PeriodicalId":73742,"journal":{"name":"Journal of evidence-based social work (2019)","volume":" ","pages":"1-23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144621443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cultural factors such as male dominance and prioritization of family over individual needs often discourage women from seeking help. The purpose of this study is to examine the personal and environmental limitations of seeking help experienced by Asian American IPV survivors.Methods: We collaborated with two not-for-profit agencies serving Asian American IPV survivors. These agencies, located in large metropolitan areas, surveyed 123 clients in three time periods between 2022 and 2024. Two-thirds of respondents identified as Korean, followed by Mongolian, Chinese, and other ethnicities. The survey included a stigma scale, barriers to accessing the criminal justice system, and open-ended responses.Results: Survivors identified fear of being blamed, feelings of shame, and lack of community support following disclosure as significant barriers to seeking help. In addition, respondents identified barriers to accessing the criminal justice system, including practical barriers (language, cost, and transportation), lack of knowledge about the system and how to contact it, fears about their partner's reaction, getting the abuser in trouble, losing custody of the children, upsetting the extended family, and lack of trust in the system. Survivors had mixed experiences with police interactions.Discussion: The findings highlight critical opportunities for prevention efforts, emphasizing the need for strategies to change norms that blame the victims, educate communities and faith leaders on how to support survivors, inform survivors on their legal options, and educate police and legal advocates on culturally sensitive interventions.","PeriodicalId":73742,"journal":{"name":"Journal of evidence-based social work (2019)","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144602447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined pre- and post-training knowledge related to three established SUD interventions - Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT), Mindfulness Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).Materials and methods: Undergraduate students enrolled in a SUDC training program (N = 63) participated in brief, evidence-based workshops and completed structured pre- and posttest surveys evaluating knowledge related to workshop content. Paired sample t-tests were estimated with 1000 bootstrapped samples to examine changes in knowledge from pre- to posttest and Hedges' g and common language (CL) effect sizes were calculated.Results: Results showed a statistically significant increase from pre- to posttest in participants' overall knowledge scores across all three evidence-based interventions. The largest effects on knowledge were noted for the DBT workshop.Discussion: The results of this study suggest that brief workshops on evidence-based SUD interventions such as SBIRT, MORE, and DBT present a promising avenue for undergraduate students in a SUDC training program to acquire knowledge essential for practicing as paraprofessional SUDCs.Conclusion: There is currently an insufficient number of SUDCs to meet SUD treatment needs across the United States. Substantial growth in SUDC workforce needs is also projected by 2030. Well-trained paraprofessional SUDCs can provide one approach to expanding access to SUD treatment in coming years.","PeriodicalId":73742,"journal":{"name":"Journal of evidence-based social work (2019)","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144593088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

IPS (Individual placement and support) is an evidence-based supported employment practice for adults with mental health conditions. In 2021, the IPS program for young adults was launched nationwide in Norway, utilizing IPS-Y, a fidelity scale specifically designed for young adults. This study has three primary objectives: 1) to describe the variability in IPS-Y fidelity at scale and item levels, 2) to assess the scale's internal consistency, and 3) to assess IPS specialists' and IPS supervisors' experiences of participating in fidelity assessments.Materials and methods: A total of 52 fidelity assessments (20 conducted by independent assessors and 32 self-assessed) of 47 IPS young adults' services were completed between March 14, 2022, and June 26, 2023. Additionally, 58 open-ended responses by IPS specialists and supervisors were analyzed.Results: Fidelity assessment ratings varied between items and services. Items measuring collaboration with mental health services and community outreach received significantly lower ratings. The IPS-Y fidelity scale and subscales demonstrated good internal consistency. Analyses of the open-ended responses showed that IPS specialists and IPS supervisors responded positively to the fidelity assessments, although some found them time-consuming and challenging.Discussion: These findings suggest that program fidelity was effectively measured through the fidelity assessments and that the practitioners experienced the fidelity assessments as necessary for their learning.Conclusion: Regular fidelity assessments of the IPS young adults program help maintain its quality and provide valuable learning opportunities for those involved.","PeriodicalId":73742,"journal":{"name":"Journal of evidence-based social work (2019)","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144562196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
