Publications and Research

Background: Outbreaks of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection have been reported in HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) in North America, Europe and Asia. Transmission is believed to be the result of exposure to blood during sexual contact. In those infected with HIV, acute HCV infection is more likely to become chronic, treatment for both HIV and HCV is more complicated and HCV disease progression may be accelerated. There is a need for systematic reviews and meta-analyses to synthesize the epidemiology, prevention and methods to control HCV infection in this population.

We Women: From The Age Of Aquarius To The Coming Of Age: An Intimate Look At The Challenges Of Aging In America Through The Eyes Of Pinellas County Women, Christine S. Melecci

USF St. Petersburg campus Master's Theses (Graduate)

The following interviews with self-defined women of the counter-culture constitute a shared auto-ethnographic experience. This experience serves as an illustration of the events that defined us during our teen years in the late 1960s, and speaks to our intention to challenge the negative perceptions we face as senior citizens. We are aware of bleak scientific and media forecasts as the roughly seventy-six-million of us in the baby boom generation continue to impact Social Security and healthcare costs, as well as the overall economy. Although we are pleased to anticipate living longer, healthier lives; due to plummeting 401K and IRA accounts, …

Brown School Faculty Publications

Alcohol use and the resulting problems associated with high-risk drinking in the American Indian/Native Alaskan (AI/NA) population are well-documented, as alcohol misuse has taken an incredible toll on many AI/NA communities. Presently, both overall health issues and alcohol use occur disproportionately within this population. This article provides an updated overview of the impact of alcohol use in the United States and within AI/NA communities specifically. It also provides recommendations for an alcohol-related screening and brief intervention instrument that social workers can begin using in their practice and can be utilized within the AI/NA community.

Seventy-five middle adolescents participated in focus groups divided by gender and ethnicity to uncover differences and similarities within and across groups. Findings underscore the importance and widespread effects of romantic relationships for adolescents' social development and the …

Brown School Faculty Publications

There has been a clear and consistent shift in social work practice from offering treatment as usual to implementing empirically supported treatments (ESTs). As social work researchers and practitioners continue to evaluate the effectiveness of ESTs, their impact on clinical outcomes, and the various obstacles to their adoption, a developing literature could offer some guidance on characteristics of EST adopters. This paper provides a beginning discussion of the ideal characteristics of EST adopters both at the organizational and individual-levels. While this is a developing area of study, there are some important findings that could better serve community-based organizations, its work …
