ABSTRACT Behavioral healthcare treatments are effective, yet access remains limited across the country. Policymakers are in a unique position to close coverage gaps, but most behavioral health-related legislation fails. Past research has examined ways to influence legislator voting, but knowledge is limited regarding factors influencing the behavioral health legislative process. Thus, a scoping review of peer-reviewed literature was conducted using 16 databases and Google Scholar. Results indicated that internal characteristics of the policymakers as well as external forces in their environments influenced the behavioral health-related legislative process. These results provide important implications for those who want to improve behavioral health policy.

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic, a first in many generations disaster, has highlighted gaps globally among graduated social work providers. This qualitative study of (N = 12) inpatient social workers who provided care during the pandemic, strives to suggest specific disaster-related content to inform the MSW curricula. Thematic analysis suggested including: 1) self-care in a prolonged disaster; 2) responding to nuances of the job; 3) expansion and integration of practicum specialties; 4) preparing for the effects of another pandemic; 5) advocating for yourself; and 6) the public’s view of social workers. Findings could potentially inform the content that is taught to MSW students post-pandemic.

ABSTRACT This phenomenological study explored lived experiences of 19 distressed family caregivers of persons living with dementia (PLWD) in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic. Individual interviews were conducted and analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Three themes with six subthemes emerged, including negative impacts on routines, participation, and mental health with accelerated declines in PLWD, increased challenges in care and poorer mental health in caregivers, strategies that helped (e.g. taking care of themselves), and support that could have been helpful (e.g. continuing programs through Zoom and accessing mental health services). Programs and support are needed for caregivers after the pandemic.

ABSTRACT COVID-19 resulted in impacts across life experiences; this study focuses on impact on becoming a mother. People who were pregnant or gave birth in the US during the first year of the pandemic (April 2020-June 2021) were interviewed: six pregnant and 29 who had birthed. Interviews were analyzed using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis. Themes included Missing Out Isolation, First-time Mom Experiences, Pervasive Uncertainty, and Depression. Subthemes were loss of celebration, missed events, somewhat helpful role of technology, less education and perinatal care, not having elder wisdom, COVID-specific anxiety, anxiety, and less postpartum support. Implications for research and practice are presented.

ABSTRACT Cultural competence and cultural humility are hallmarks of social work practice. Cultural competence focuses on the clients’ lived experiences. Cultural humility centers the lived experiences of the clinician and the client. However, few resources are available to illustrate how to apply cultural competence and cultural humility separately. Even fewer opportunities are available to apply both. We illustrate how to employ both, cultural competence and cultural humility in practice with Black women with depression. When used together, cultural competence and cultural humility appears to be more valuable than when used individually. Based on research information presented, implications for practice are discussed.

ABSTRACT Weight stigma is pervasive in the United States, and its presence in healthcare settings can lead to an avoidance of healthcare services. This study examined whether experienced weight stigma or weight self-stigma predicted psychiatric/mental health medication visits. A total of 384 self-identified female participants completed an online survey about stigma and utilization of healthcare services. Binary logistic regression analyses indicated that having been discriminated against because of body weight, and weight self-stigma, predicted avoidance. Results suggest weight stigma may have negative implications for psychiatric/mental health medication visits. Implications for social work research, practice, and advocacy are discussed.

ABSTRACT Using data from the Pathways to Desistance Project, this study examined the bi-directional and longitudinal relationship between mental health symptoms and connectedness among 561 system involved Black youth. Higher mental health symptom scores at baseline increased connectedness scores one year later. Connectedness scores increased for two consecutive years until the transition to adulthood when participants were on average 19–20 years-old. During the transition to adulthood, mental health symptom scores worsened, highlighting the transition to adulthood as a key timepoint to administer supportive interventions addressing the mental health needs of Black youth who interact with the juvenile justice system.

ABSTRACT The current study examined the association of social support and background variables with resilience among young adults exposed to traumatic and stressful events of armed conflict in Kashmir, India. Data were collected from 693 participants using a multi-stage sampling method. Findings revealed that social support and gender were positively associated with resilience, whereas education, income, and maternal education were negatively associated with resilience. Moreover, feeling insecure and psychologically distressed as a result of conflict was negatively associated with resilience, whereas, perception that Kashmir conflict will be resolved was positively associated with resilience. The findings suggest fostering of resilience in this population.

ABSTRACT The present Retrospective Chart Review aimed to study the psychosocial functioning, clinical and socio-environmental profile of children with severe mental illness (SMI). The correlation and parametric testing were performed to find the relationship and difference among the variables. A total of 69 individual case files were reviewed, and Children’s Global Assessment Scale (CGAS) was used to rate the current global level of functioning. Children were found to have moderate to severe level of psychosocial functional impairment. No statistically significant mean difference was found between the CGAS scores and socio-environmental and clinical variables. But positive and negative correlation was found between clinical variables and CGAS score.

In this study, we interrogate the ways that older adult pet owners exercise their agency within the limits of their social statuses to allocate their resources for the management of the health needs of their multispecies families. Guided by fundamental cause theory, we consider how the participants' memberships in socially constructed categories can impact their experiences with household health management. We conducted focus groups with 30 community-dwelling older adults who owned pets. Using a thematic analytic approach, we found that the participants' bonds with their pets led them to negotiate priorities and make concessions for the benefit of the household.
