PurposeThe Grand Challenges for Social Work initiative addresses critical social problems through social work science. This scoping review examines the first 5 years (2015–2019) of the Harness Technology for Social Good challenge, mapping literature by social work researchers on technology's role in improving client system outcomes.MethodsWe mapped the existing social work literature published between 2015 and 2019 about using technology to address practice outcomes for client systems.ResultsOverall, we found a clear pattern in which social work researchers were contributing to the scholarship on technology-mediated interventions and providing evidence that technology had positive or helpful outcomes in work with client systems.DiscussionWhile our scoping review was limited to English-language publications, which may have excluded significant scholarly work from non-English speaking regions, our findings indicate that social work scholars have significantly contributed to the scholarship on technology-mediated interventions, demonstrating positive impacts on practice outcomes.

Purpose: Under the Council on Social Work Education 2022 Education and Policy Accreditation Standards, social work programs must have a systematic plan to “assess anti-racism, diversity, equity and inclusion (ADEI) efforts within the program's implicit curriculum”. This article outlines development, piloting, and related statistical analyses of the SWEAP ADEI Instrument. This standardized instrument is designed to facilitate student assessment of program ADEI efforts within the implicit curriculum. Methods: Students from two social work programs piloted the instrument. An expert panel evaluated the instrument construct, content, and face validity. Results: Construct, content, and face validity of the entire instrument, as well as the construct subscales, were secured through expert involvement in the process of instrument development. Internal Consistency and Test–Retest analyses confirm reliability of the instrument. Conclusions: The reliability and validity of the SWEAP ADEI Instrument is supported.

PurposeDepression is one of the most commonly treated conditions in mental health practice. However, outcomes have been poor and social workers face a host of treatment-related dilemmas.MethodThis study used factorial survey methodology to disentangle the effects of client, practice, and respondent characteristics on master's in social work (MSW) students’ antidepressant referral decisions. A total of 426 ( n = 426) MSW students each judged three unique vignette scenarios yielding 1,266 ( n = 1,266) judgments analyzed using multilevel model analyses.ResultsFindings suggest that the decision to refer was most influenced by previous response to antidepressant treatment, symptom profiles with suicidal ideations and anxiety, and recurrent episodes of depression. To a lesser degree, respondents’ personal use of psychotropic medications and beliefs about physician prescribing patterns also influenced antidepressant referral decisions.DiscussionThis study illuminates the complex effects of clinical and non-clinical factors on MSW students’ antidepressant referral decisions.

Purpose: This systematic narrative review examines relational approaches to working with interpersonal violence (IPV) within established heterosexual couple relationships at secondary and tertiary prevention levels. Method: Searches were conducted on five bibliographic databases, supplemented by citation searching and field recommendations. Thematic analysis involved reading and re-reading the data, and subsequent generation of analytical themes. Results: The themes developed for the analysis were: (1) the effectiveness of programs, how this was judged , and for which groups of people; (2) the levels and nature of IPV appropriate for couple-based therapy; (3) safety protocols; (4) whether the program was state or court ordered or voluntary; (5) whether group- or couple-based delivery ; and (6) attrition and completion. Conclusions: This review aids the development of relational risk assessments and interventions for social workers and related professionals. The article sets out main areas of improvements that safe couple-based interventions can bring, and by what means.
