Predictors Of Different Types Of Victim-Trafficker Relationships: An Intersectionality-Informed Analysis, Mary K. Twis May 2018

Predictors Of Different Types Of Victim-Trafficker Relationships: An Intersectionality-Informed Analysis, Mary K. Twis

Social Work Dissertations - Archive

Domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST) is the commercial sexual exploitation of a minor citizen or legal resident within United States borders. The literature about the experiences of DMST victims is an amalgamation of force, exploitation, and sometimes the exercise of personal, if constrained, agency in the decision to exchange sex for money or goods. Unfortunately, federal and local policies do not make much room for the nuances of victim experience, in which multiple oppressive factors may contribute to DMST victimization, or different types of DMST victimization. Instead, officials tend to view DMST as a monolithic crime, rather than a problem …

Assessing Receptivity To Empirically Supported Treatments In Rape Crisis Centers, Tonya Edmond, Rachel Voth Schrag Dec 2017

Assessing Receptivity To Empirically Supported Treatments In Rape Crisis Centers, Tonya Edmond, Rachel Voth Schrag

Social Work Faculty Publications & Presentations-Archive

Survivors of sexual violence are at risk for PTSD, depression, and anxiety. There are several empirically supported treatments (EST) that are effective for addressing these trauma symptoms; however, uptake of these ESTs among Rape Crisis Center (RCC) counselors is low. This research project sought to determine counselors’ attitudes toward evidence-based practices (EBPs); their perceptions of the intervention characteristics of three specific ESTs: Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy; and differences in attitudes and perceptions based on agency setting (urban/rural) and counselor education. The Consolidated Framework for Advancing Implementation Science (CFIR) was used …

Homelessness Among Women Veterans: A Systematic Review Of The Risk Factors, Staceyann Graham

Social Work Theses - Archive

Background: As more women joined the armed forces the population of women veterans inevitably increased and with it so did the rates of women veteran homelessness. Women veterans are a unique group of women who also possess protective factors from homelessness, yet are 3 to 4 times likely to become homeless than non-veteran women. The purpose of this systematic review is to glean from other articles and studies what the risk factors for women veteran homelessness are. Method: A systematic review of 7 articles were conducted using the PRISMA method as a guideline for selecting the articles. Results: 5 articles …

Interviews And Conversations About Leaving Services (Icals): A Review Of Resources After Tanf, Maria C. Cole Dec 2017

Interviews And Conversations About Leaving Services (Icals): A Review Of Resources After Tanf, Maria C. Cole

Social Work Theses - Archive

The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) policy is designed to protect the nation’s most vulnerable families from severe hardship. The policy encourages moving people from “welfare to work” and improving child welfare. TANF, though, has remained largely unchanged since its adoption in 1996 despite persistent poverty nationwide and worsening poverty in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. Consequently, TANF has not effectively responded to poverty nor has it improved child welfare. The researcher conducted a comprehensive literature review which identified employment barriers found to affect families leaving TANF services. Several studies illuminated that mental or behavioral health, substance abuse, race …

Recidivism And Juvenile Justice Youth: A Study On Recidivism Rates For Youth Awaiting Adjudication, Whitney L. Hunt Dec 2017

Recidivism And Juvenile Justice Youth: A Study On Recidivism Rates For Youth Awaiting Adjudication, Whitney L. Hunt

Criminology & Criminal Justice Theses - Archive

The United States incarcerates more youth than any other country in the world (Justice Policy Institute, 2009). Previous research has focused on recidivism rates of juvenile justice youth post-adjudication. However, a gap in literature exists concerning the relationship of recidivism rates for youth awaiting adjudication. This study seeks to determine what factors correlate with recidivism for youths in detention compared with youths who receive detention alternatives while awaiting adjudication in an urban area in the Southern United States. It is hypothesized that, based on previous research and theory, youth who receive detention while awaiting adjudication are more likely to recidivate …

Social Work Faculty Publications & Presentations-Archive

Significant mental health disparities exist for Hispanic populations, especially with regard to depression treatment. Stigma and poor communication between patients and their providers result in low use of antidepressant medications and early treatment withdrawal. Cultural factors which influence treatment decisions among Hispanics include fears about the addictive and harmful properties of antidepressants, worries about taking too many pills, and the stigma attached to taking medications. Primary care settings often are the gateway to identifying undiagnosed or untreated mental health disorders, particularly for people with co-morbid physical health conditions. Hispanics, in particular, are more likely to receive mental healthcare in primary …

What Works For Whom? Military Sexual Trauma Vs. Campus Sexual Assault Survivors And The Effectiveness Of Therapeutic Approaches; A Systematic Review And Comparison., Daphne Jaguar Browell Aug 2017

What Works For Whom? Military Sexual Trauma Vs. Campus Sexual Assault Survivors And The Effectiveness Of Therapeutic Approaches; A Systematic Review And Comparison., Daphne Jaguar Browell

Social Work Theses - Archive

There are few data comparing military sexual trauma (MST) to civilian sexual trauma; however, there is some anecdotal evidence that MST is unique and may be associated with different mental health outcomes. This may be attributed to the distinct characteristics of MST, including the environment in which the trauma takes place and traits of the perpetrator and the survivor; however, on closer inspection these characteristics are not inimitable and many parallels can be seen when compared with campus sexual assault. While there are studies on the effectiveness of specific interventions, there has not been a systematic review comparing the different …

Using A Culturally Adapted Learning Tool With Latinos Diagnosed With Depression, Monica Lechuga Aug 2017

Using A Culturally Adapted Learning Tool With Latinos Diagnosed With Depression, Monica Lechuga

Social Work Theses - Archive

Due to stigma, low mental health knowledge, and cultural beliefs a significant number of Latinos do not seek treatment for depression. Interventions and treatment methods that are culturally adapted and consider the patient's cultural perspective are minimal due to the lack of bilingual mental health providers. Using secondary data, this study reviewed a quantitative research study conducted at a community health center. The study conducted by Dr. Sanchez at a community health clinic, utilized a culturally adapted fotonovela as a depression education intervention (DEI) for Latinos diagnosed with depression. The purpose of this review was to analyze the effectiveness of …

Foster Care Redesign Initiative: Every Child Matters, Natalie Russell

2017 Spring Honors Capstone Projects - Archive

Thousands of children enter the child welfare system every year in Texas. As each year progresses, the foster care system becomes increasingly complicated and requires multiple steps prior to a successful placement. Child Protective Services (CPS) has become a broken system, leading to hundreds of foster parents who are inadequately prepared for the trauma that children in foster care have previously experienced due to abuse and neglect. Through the commitment of ACH Child and Family Services, Texas Department of Family Protective Services, and Our Community, Our Kids, significant work has been implemented to improve the lives of each child in …

Understanding Aging Well From The Perspectives Of Homebound Older Adults, Debra Lynn Rogers May 2017

Understanding Aging Well From The Perspectives Of Homebound Older Adults, Debra Lynn Rogers

Social Work Theses - Archive

With the population becoming “grayer” the United States has begun to question what it means to be aging well. Previous research has examined what it means to age well how to diminish age-related losses, although there is a lack of consensus about what this means. The older adult population is diverse regarding race, ethnicity, sex, culture, sexual orientation, and ability; thus, aging well can mean different things to different people. Due to this diversity, the subjective perspectives and experiences of older adults are important to understand the processes of aging well and expand its conceptualization to a heterogeneous population of …

“In A Way It’S A Violation”: Pap Smear Knowledge And Beliefs Among Underserved Women In Substance Abuse Treatment, Amberly R. Prykhodko

Social Work Theses - Archive

Due to many factors, women in substance abuse treatment are at high risk of contracting the human papillomavirus (HPV) and developing cervical cancer. Despite this, the likelihood of accessing preventative healthcare, such as a Pap exam, is low. Substance abuse treatment facilities may be suitable access points for preventative cervical cancer screening. Using secondary focus group data, this qualitative narrative analysis examines answers given by women in substance abuse treatment regarding knowledge, experiences, barriers, and facilitators to Pap exams. The purpose of this analysis was to further understand how this population views Pap smears in order to guide best practices …
