There is limited research on culturally sensitive interventions to support African American caregivers of elderly relatives. This qualitative research study explores caregiving among twenty African American professional and managerial women baby boomers caring for older parents. Study findings generate a culturally relevant, African-centered caregiving perspective to add to the literature on caregiving. Study results support the application of Nguzo Saba principles – Umoja (Unity), Kujichagulia (Self-Determination), Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility), Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics), Nia (Purpose), Kuumba (Creativity), and Imani (Faith) to African American caregiving practices. The knowledge generated from this study has implications for social work interventions with individuals, groups, and communities to support African American caregivers.

There is no denying that the effects of poverty are vast and farreaching. From life expectancy to academic success, the effects it has have inundated many aspects of life for those who identify with the socioeconomic status. Those who are largely effected by it are some of society’s most vulnerable individuals children. Children living in poverty often lack easy access to proper housing, education, nutrition, and medical care. In both developed and non-developed countries, poverty is continuously linked to deficits in biological, cognitive, emotional, and academic development. This paper aims to explore the many different effects poverty and its associated domains have on childhood development. From infancy through adolescence and the ripple effect it has on adulthood, the consequences of living in low-income environments will be discussed in relation to proper childhood development. Due to the malleable nature of the brain during these crucial formative years, many of the issues faced during childhood can persist into adolescence and further into adulthood. For these reasons, the long lasting effects of enduring poverty into adulthood will also be examined.

Within the clinical work of professionals in the field of addictions, co-existing vulnerability factors are rampant. One impactful vulnerability which is seldom recognized by professionals but significantly effects an individual with addictions and his/her perception of the self and others is hypengyophobia. This is a fear of responsibility. Yet, taking responsibility in addiction is a major theme for healing. A life of passivity will not lead to recovery, and this is exactly the effect of hypengyophobia. Grounded in Jung’s (1933) psychodynamic theory, with a case study example included, understanding, recognition and an innovative treatment for this rarely explored vulnerability is forwarded to clinical professionals in addictions. Hypengyophobia is forwarded as an integral part of addictions’ treatment.

This paper will provide an overview of suicide prevalence among South Asian Americans who constitute nearly one-third of Asian Americans and 1.7 percent of the United States population. South Asians, late 20th century immigrants, are a numerally small percentage of the population in the United States. As a distinct ethnic population despite significant diversity within, South Asians encounter unique challenges with myriad sub-cultures and struggles that make them vulnerable and underrepresented in policy and service utilization in mental health and health care due to various barriers. These conditions create vulnerability among first and subsequent generations as they go through social pressures of acculturation and integration into American society. Suicide, as a rising social concern related to health disparities research, is described with the aid of common theoretical perspectives along with causal/risk factors. Suicide rate is the highest among South Asians even among Asian-origin Americans which has higher suicide among all minority populations – Asian, African and Hispanic Americans. Success of South Asians is associated with certain hidden or unrecognized costs. Making the American dream a reality which is a strenuous journey for South Asians predisposes them at higher risk for health, mental health, substance abuse, suicidal ideation, and behavior. Systematic review of articles from three databases with focus and content on South Asian Americans was conducted and the results are presented in this article. Identified concerns and issues are addressed in the light of theoretical perspectives and evidence gathered from the systematic review and critical analysis.

Purpose: Research demonstrates tremendous harmful effects for children and adolescents that have experienced trauma of various forms before the age of eighteen. These effects are profound as not only are they linked to current detrimental effects such as increased rates of substance abuse, early sexual activity, higher rates of depression, and suicidal ideation, but they also have shown to be damaging in adulthood. This systematic review provides an examination of interventions that reduce the effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) for Black/African American children and adolescents. Methods: This study used an intervention assessment tool to determine the methodological rigor derived from the American Psychological Association on assessing interventions as the risk of bias tool. The methodological rigor was used to assess the interventions that reduce the effects of ACEs. Effect sizes for controlled trials, pre-post effect sizes, and pilot studies were calculated. Results: This search identified a total of 1,594 studies in which 617 were screened and five were selected. The five utilized harm reduction interventions to address the effects of ACEs. All of the study participants were Black/African American children and adolescents. The effect sizes that were available ranged from medium to large. The Strong African American Families Program (SAAF) intervention had the strongest methodological rigor with a medium effect size. Conclusion: The review suggests that the combination of individual therapy, group therapy, and psychoeducational training techniques provided positive effects on the reduction of ACE related symptoms for Black/African American children and adolescents. The randomized control trials yielded the greatest improvements from the interventions. However, the findings were few and the need for interventions for this population continue to grow.

Purpose: This study examines productive engagement among middle-age and older adults as a predictor of body mass classification over time, from a role theory perspective.] Methods: Longitudinal data (2010-2018) from the Health and Retirement Survey were analyzed using multinomial logistic regressions, with separate analyses for two age groups: middle-age (age 50-64; n=8,005) and older adults (age 65 and over; n=9,123). Results: For the middle-age sample, working more hours increased odds of being overweight, and more time spent caring for parents increased the odds of being obese. For older adults, informal volunteering decreased the odds of being underweight. For the most part, being in the obese category was predicted by health (more chronic conditions, worse self-rated health, less frequent vigorous exercise, and non-smoker status), and sociodemographic factors (lower earnings, lower education, Black race, and younger age) for both younger and older samples. Implications: The findings reinforce the benefits of public support for workplace wellness initiatives that promote healthy eating and exercise behaviors. Further, public funding could be used to support programs that promote informal volunteering for older adults could reduce the risks associated with being underweight, thus advancing social aims while promoting public health.

Associated Profile Abstract H IV is associated with poor quality of life and high mortality rates on the people suffering from this illness. Presently, Cd4 levels are the main factor established to identify the distinct trauma on the host’s body and systems. The consequence and severity of HIV complications vary among individuals; however, many factors come into play when assessing and developing treatment plans for this population. Purpose: The current investigation endeavors to respond to the following, are there any indicators of a weak immune system other than a low Cd4 count in people living with HIV (PLHIV) that can aid and guide more target treatment to increase life expectancy and improve quality of life? This project's invention is to establish a comprehensive profile equated with the immune system levels among Hispanics-Latino PLHIV. Methods: Data was extracted and collected from 449 partakers' records from participants enrolled in La Perla de Gran Precio HIV Community Center in Puerto Rico. We examined and compared the relationship between five distinct components, motor (speed and inclination on a treadmill), cardiorespiratory (cardio time and HR), lipid panel (triglycerides, cholesterol among others), comorbidities (diabetes, neuropathy, among others) and lifestyle (smoker, sedentary, etc.), which are essential physical fitness components, regarding subjects’ immune profiles (Cd4 values). Results: The data analyzed in this study were from 449 participants' records further divided into 198 for the Low-HIV (Cd4=323.6+/-120.75) and 247 for the High-HIV (Cd4=836.84+/-283.41) groups according to Cd4 values. The L-HIV and H-HIV were, for the most part, males with an average age of 54 years old and approximately 20 years of diagnosis. An ANOVA analysis revealed that four out of the five components showed differences among both groups. Conclusion: In Hispanic Latino PLHIV, distinctive physical and cardiovascular profiles, related to lower immune health, were identified. We recommend adding the components mentioned in this study to comprehensively understand the mechanism affecting the quality of life and life expectancy in those with HIV.
hiv与患者的生活质量差和高死亡率有关。目前，Cd4水平是确定宿主机体和系统不同创伤的主要因素。艾滋病毒并发症的后果和严重程度因人而异;然而，在评估和制定针对这一人群的治疗计划时，许多因素都发挥了作用。目的:目前的研究努力回应以下问题，HIV感染者(PLHIV)中除了Cd4计数低外，是否存在其他免疫系统薄弱的指标，可以帮助和指导更多的靶向治疗，以延长预期寿命和改善生活质量?这个项目的发明是建立一个全面的概况等同于免疫系统水平的西班牙裔拉丁裔艾滋病病毒。方法:从波多黎各La Perla de Gran Precio HIV社区中心登记的449名参与者的记录中提取和收集数据。我们检查并比较了运动(跑步机上的速度和倾角)、心肺(有氧时间和心率)、脂质(甘油三酯、胆固醇等)、合并症(糖尿病、神经病变等)和生活方式(吸烟、久坐等)这五个不同组成部分之间的关系，这些都是必不可少的身体健康组成部分，涉及受试者的免疫状况(Cd4值)。结果:本研究分析的数据来自449名参与者的记录，根据Cd4值进一步分为Low-HIV组198人(Cd4=323.6+/-120.75)和High-HIV组247人(Cd4=836.84+/-283.41)。L-HIV和H-HIV感染者大部分为平均年龄54岁、确诊时间约为20年的男性。方差分析显示，5个组成部分中有4个在两组之间显示出差异。结论:在西班牙裔拉丁裔PLHIV中，发现了与较低免疫健康相关的独特的身体和心血管特征。我们建议增加本研究中提到的成分，以全面了解影响艾滋病毒感染者生活质量和预期寿命的机制。

Based on calculations from the U.S. Department of Education, there were an estimated 1.3 million homeless children in U.S. public schools during the 2014-2015 school year. This secondary analysis of qualitative data findings reveals the perspectives of eight foster youth regarding their time spent in a transitional living program specifically designed for foster youth. To our knowledge, this is the first study to conduct a secondary analysis of program evaluation data on the perspectives of foster youth regarding their time spent in a transitional living program.
