An Examination Of Treatment Fidelity In An Intensive Family Preservation Program, Marianne Berry Jan 1995

An Examination Of Treatment Fidelity In An Intensive Family Preservation Program, Marianne Berry

Journal of Family Strengths

Most models of intensive family preservation services are based on providing flexible services to reduce risk and keep families together. This study examined 40 cases served by a public agency Family Preservation Unit in 1992-1993, in order to assess the provision of hard, soft and enabling services in the program and whether their provision matched the program model. The relationships of these services to program outcomes, in terms of child removal, new reports of abuse or neglect, and family gains in resources and strengths, are also assessed.

Intensive Family Reunification Services: A Conceptual Framework And Case Example, Elaine Walton, Mark W. Fraser, Catherine Harlin, Robert E. Lewis Jan 1995

Intensive Family Reunification Services: A Conceptual Framework And Case Example, Elaine Walton, Mark W. Fraser, Catherine Harlin, Robert E. Lewis

Journal of Family Strengths

Recent federal mandates require child welfare agencies to make reasonable efforts to reunify families after out-of-home placement. Consistent with those mandates, agencies are increasingly employing techniques from family preservation services intended initially to prevent out-of-home placement. The purpose of this article is to articulate a conceptual framework and practice guidelines for family reunification services and to describe an experimental reunification program based on a family preservation model. A case example illustrates the way in which the services affected one family that participated in the experiment.

Institutionalizing Intensive Family Preservation Services: A Strategy For Creating Staffing Standards Based On Projections Of At-Risk Children From Referral Sources, Robert E. Lewis Jan 1995

Institutionalizing Intensive Family Preservation Services: A Strategy For Creating Staffing Standards Based On Projections Of At-Risk Children From Referral Sources, Robert E. Lewis

Journal of Family Strengths

In spite of new legislation and much public and professional interest, intensive family preservation service (IFPS) remains in a vulnerable position as compared to other child welfare services. This article details a method to project ideal IFPS caseloads as a function of children who are at-risk for placement by various referral sources. Using this approach, resource allocation for IFPS can be more nearly on equal ground with the traditional child welfare functions and help IFPS to assume its needed place as a core service in the child welfare continuum.

The Houston Academy Of Medicine--Texas Medical Center Library Management Information System, Damon Camille, Sanjay Chadha, Richard Lyders

Library Press and Events

A management information system (MIS) provides a means for collecting, reporting, and analyzing data from all segments of an organization. Such systems are common in business but rare in libraries. The Houston Academy of Medicine-Texas Medical Center Library developed an MIS that operates on a system of networked IBM PCs and Paradox, a commercial database software package. The data collected in the system include monthly reports, client profile information, and data collected at the time of service requests. The MIS assists with enforcement of library policies, ensures that correct information is recorded, and provides reports for library managers. It also …

Estimation Of The Incidence Of A Rare Genetic Disease Through A Two-Tier Mutation Survey, R Chakraborty, M R Srinivasan, S Raskin Jun 1993

Estimation Of The Incidence Of A Rare Genetic Disease Through A Two-Tier Mutation Survey, R Chakraborty, M R Srinivasan, S Raskin

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Recent attempts to detect mutations involving single base changes or small deletions that are specific to genetic diseases provide an opportunity to develop a two-tier mutation-screening program through which incidence of rare genetic disorders and gene carriers may be precisely estimated. A two-tier survey consists of mutation screening in a sample of patients with specific genetic disorders and in a second sample of newborns from the same population in which mutation frequency is evaluated. We provide the statistical basis for evaluating the incidence of affected and gene carriers in such two-tier mutation-screening surveys, from which the precision of the estimates …

A Decade Of Aids Literature, Gregory F. Pratt Oct 1992

A Decade Of Aids Literature, Gregory F. Pratt

Library Staff Publications

From 1983 through mid-1991, more than 200,000 MEDLINE entries were AIDS-related. Close to 60% of the journals indexed in MEDLINE published at least one article on AIDS during the past ten years. As reflected by a subset of 29,077 MEDLINE records, the literature of AIDS has grown to encompass 29 languages and 65 countries. A bibliometric study of the medical literature helps to demonstrate the progression of AIDS as a world health problem and the concomitant expansion of the research effort underway to control it.

Identification And Characterization Of The Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 Gene Encoding The Essential Capsid Protein Icp32/Vp19c, S P Yei, S I Chowdhury, B M Bhat, A J Conley, W S Wold, W Batterson Mar 1990

Identification And Characterization Of The Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 Gene Encoding The Essential Capsid Protein Icp32/Vp19c, S P Yei, S I Chowdhury, B M Bhat, A J Conley, W S Wold, W Batterson

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

We describe the characterization of the herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) gene encoding infected cell protein 32 (ICP32) and virion protein 19c (VP19c). We also demonstrate that the HSV-1 UL38/ORF.553 open reading frame (ORF), which has been shown to specify a viral protein essential for capsid formation (B. Pertuiset, M. Boccara, J. Cebrian, N. Berthelot, S. Chousterman, F. Puvian-Dutilleul, J. Sisman, and P. Sheldrick, J. Virol. 63: 2169-2179, 1989), must encode the cognate HSV type 1 (HSV-1) ICP32/VP19c protein. The region of the HSV-2 genome deduced to contain the gene specifying ICP32/VP19c was isolated and subcloned, and the nucleotide …

Population Amalgamation And Genetic Variation: Observations On Artificially Agglomerated Tribal Populations Of Central And South America, R Chakraborty, P E Smouse, J V Neel Nov 1988

Population Amalgamation And Genetic Variation: Observations On Artificially Agglomerated Tribal Populations Of Central And South America, R Chakraborty, P E Smouse, J V Neel

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

The interpretation of data on genetic variation with regard to the relative roles of different evolutionary factors that produce and maintain genetic variation depends critically on our assumptions concerning effective population size and the level of migration between neighboring populations. In humans, recent population growth and movements of specific ethnic groups across wide geographic areas mean that any theory based on assumptions of constant population size and absence of substructure is generally untenable. We examine the effects of population subdivision on the pattern of protein genetic variation in a total sample drawn from an artificial agglomerate of 12 tribal populations …

Occupational Therapy Articles In Serial Publications: An Analysis Of Sources, Kathlyn L. Reed Apr 1988

Occupational Therapy Articles In Serial Publications: An Analysis Of Sources, Kathlyn L. Reed

Library Staff Publications

This study was designed to locate and document serial literature on occupational therapy published since 1900. Emphasis is placed on finding articles on occupational therapy or by occupational therapists from sources other than those normally associated with the professional journals. Multiple sources were used including print indexes, online databases, occupational therapy bibliographies, and tables of contents or yearly indexes. Almost 7,000 articles were identified, not including those published in foreign journals. Occupational therapy publications have increased steadily since 1900, with the most rapid increase during the 1970s and 1980s when five new occupational therapy journals were initiated. Suggestions for formulating …

Evaluation And Model Of A Clinical Librarian Program, Elizabeth King Eaton Jan 1986

Evaluation And Model Of A Clinical Librarian Program, Elizabeth King Eaton

Library Staff Publications

Clinical medical librarianship is entering its second decade, but little evaluative data has accrued in the literature. Variations from the original programs and novel new approaches have insured the survival of the program so far. The clinical librarian (CL) forms a vital link between the library and the health care professional, operating as an important information transfer agent. However, to further insure the survival of these vital programs, hard evaluative evidence is needed. The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) at Galveston began a CL Program in 1978/79. An extensive three-year pre/post evaluation study was conducted using a specifically developed …
