BACKGROUND
Truancy is a significant problem in the U.S. and in other countries around the world.

Although numerous and significant steps have been taken at the local, state, and national levels to reduce truancy, the rates of truancy have at best remained stable or at worst been on the rise, depending on the indicator utilized to assess truancy rates.

Social Work: School of Social Work Faculty Publications and Other Works
The Employment Hope scale (EHS) was designed to measure the empowerment-based self-sufficiency (SS) outcome among low-income job-seeking clients. This measure captures the psychological SS dimension as opposed to the more commonly used economic SS in workforce development and employment support practice.

Siedenburg espoused Catholic social teaching and attempted to carry out its tenets within a Catholic context as an educator …
