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.

Purpose: This article is a process evaluation of a previously published outcome study. It provides an exploratory analysis of victim–survivor accounts of behavior change among men participating in a combined alcohol and other drug and domestic violence intervention and women's experiences of family safety contact services. Methods: Interviews with victim–survivors ( n = 10) and program participants ( n = 9). Results: Findings illustrate three patterns: victim–survivor accounts validating, challenging, and offering more nuanced perspectives on men's reports of behavior change. Conclusions: This article argues that victim–survivor engagement in behavior change programs is critical to assess and monitor risk to victim–survivors and other family members, validate other outcome measures related to men's behavior change (or lack thereof), and provide victim–survivor access to support.
