Social Work Faculty Publications

Using a longitudinal design, this study examined the relationship of a mother’s prenatal representation of her child and her parenting behavior with that child at one-year-of-age in a sample of women who were either exposed or not exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV) (n = 164; mean child age = 1.1 years, sd = .11 years; 52% male). Controlling for prenatal IPV, a MANCOVA analysis revealed that prenatal representational typology was significantly related to parenting behavior one year post-partum. Mothers whose representations were affectively deactivated (disengaged) were more behaviorally controlling with their children. Mothers whose representations were affectively overactivated (distorted) …

Participants were 82 women receiving substance abuse treatment and the family member providing the most social support for each woman.

Suicide And Unintentional Poisoning Mortality Trends In The United States, 1987-2006: Two Unrelated Phenomena?, Ian Rh Rockett, Gerry Hobbs, Diego De Leo, Steven Stack, James L. Frost, Alan M. Ducatman, Nestor D. Kapusta, Rheeda L. Walker

Wayne State University Associated BioMed Central Scholarship

Abstract

Background

Two counter trends in injury mortality have been separately reported in the US in recent times - a declining suicide rate and a rapidly rising unintentional poisoning mortality rate. Poisoning suicides are especially difficult to detect, and injury of undetermined intent is the underlying cause-of-death category most likely to reflect this difficulty. We compare suicide and poisoning mortality trends over two decades in a preliminary assessment of their independence and implications for suicide misclassification.

Description of overall and gender- and age-specific trends using national mortality data from WISQARS, the Web-based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System, maintained …

Race/Ethnicity And Potential Suicide Misclassification: Window On A Minority Suicide Paradox?, Ian Rh Rockett, Shuhui Wang, Steven Stack, Diego De Leo, James L. Frost, Alan M. Ducatman, Rheeda L. Walker, Nestor D. Kapusta

Wayne State University Associated BioMed Central Scholarship

Abstract

Background

Suicide officially kills approximately 30,000 annually in the United States. Analysis of this leading public health problem is complicated by undercounting. Despite persisting socioeconomic and health disparities, non-Hispanic Blacks and Hispanics register suicide rates less than half that of non-Hispanic Whites.

Methods

This cross-sectional study uses multiple cause-of-death data from the US National Center for Health Statistics to assess whether race/ethnicity, psychiatric comorbidity documentation, and other decedent characteristics were associated with differential potential for suicide misclassification. Subjects were 105,946 White, Black, and Hispanic residents aged 15 years and older, dying in the US between 2003 and 2005, whose …
