摘要

目的：我们使用人在环境的概念框架来研究种族和民族对ASWB临床考试首次通过的影响。方法：我们使用2018-2022年临床考试数据（N = 88,678）进行描述性和回归分析，并结合美国人口普查局的邮政编码级收入数据和美国教育部的机构特征数据。结果：结果表明，如果少数族裔考生具有与白人考生相似的个人、机构和社区特征，则黑人和白人在考试通过率上的差距可以下降约20%，西班牙裔和白人在考试通过率上的差距可以下降约27%。58%的黑人考生与低收入地区交往，他们的成绩更多地受到社会经济地位的影响。然而，西班牙裔考生的成绩更多地受到教育背景的影响。结论：研究结果需要进一步研究，以探索由于数据限制而未包括在本研究中的考试结果的关键决定因素。

Effect of Race/Ethnicity on the 2018–2022 Social Work Clinical License Exam Outcomes

Purpose: We examined the effect of race and ethnicity on first-time passage of the ASWB Clinical exam using a person-in-environment conceptual framework. Method: We conducted descriptive and regression analyses using the 2018–2022 Clinical exam data ( N = 88,678), merged with zip code-level income data from the US Census Bureau and institutional characteristics data from the US Department of Education. Results: Results indicated that if examinees from minoritized groups had individual, institutional, and community characteristics similar to those of White examinees, the Black-White disparity in exam pass rates could decline by approximately 20%, and the Hispanic-White disparity by around 27%. With 58% of Black examinees interacting with lowest-income areas, their outcomes were influenced more by socioeconomic status. However, Hispanic examinees’ outcomes were affected more by their educational backgrounds. Conclusion: Findings call for further research that explores the crucial determinants of exam outcomes not included in this study due to data constraints.

期刊介绍： Research on Social Work Practice, sponsored by the Society for Social Work and Research, is a disciplinary journal devoted to the publication of empirical research concerning the methods and outcomes of social work practice. Social work practice is broadly interpreted to refer to the application of intentionally designed social work intervention programs to problems of societal and/or interpersonal importance, including behavior analysis or psychotherapy involving individuals; case management; practice involving couples, families, and small groups; community practice education; and the development, implementation, and evaluation of social policies.
