Differential Utilization Of The Health Care Delivery System By Members Of Ethnic Minorities, Patricia A. Brown
Differential Utilization Of The Health Care Delivery System By Members Of Ethnic Minorities, Patricia A. Brown
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Research and statistical reports of the 1960's strongly attested to the underutilization of the health care delivery system by members of ethnic minorities. For example, a 1968 national report on hospital utilization showed that a larger proportion of white persons was hospitalized than were persons of 'color.'I This was found to be true regardless of sex and age; but "... as family income increased, the rate for white persons and those of other races became closer." This fact not withstanding, each income level saw whites using hospitalization more than persons of 'color.' Reasons for this difference in utilization were offered …
Some Socio-Cultural Aspects Of Growing Up Black, Joan S. Wallace, Samuel P. Wong
Some Socio-Cultural Aspects Of Growing Up Black, Joan S. Wallace, Samuel P. Wong
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Excerpt from the full-text article:
Black people, like other people, grow up in families. This simple observation is a suprise to people who are accustomed to associate the experiences of Black people with slavery, crime, delinquency, civil disorders. The Black historian, Benjamin Quarles (1967) has observed that white America tends to have a distorted perspective on Black life, and the fact of Blacks growing up in a family is a fresh approach to the understanding of socio-cultural aspects of growing up Black (cf. Billingsley, 1968).
The family is society's primary context for meeting a child's biological needs, directing his development …
Racial Identification Versus Professional Identification: Can They Be Reconciled, Patricia A. Brown
Racial Identification Versus Professional Identification: Can They Be Reconciled, Patricia A. Brown
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
For close to a decade, members of the social work profession, who also were members of a minority race, have been confronting the profession with their perception that social work has not addressed adequately the needs of their racial groups. The fact that members of one group (a minority race) confronted another group (the social work profession) in which they also held membership signaled the strong and serious conflict between a person's identification with two major groups. Whether the two group identifications could find a common ground, became a concern for not only the individual belonging to the two groups, …
The Ethnic And Class Dimensions In Neighborhood: A Means For The Reorganization Of Human Service Delivery Systems, Arthur J. Naparstek, Karen Kollias
The Ethnic And Class Dimensions In Neighborhood: A Means For The Reorganization Of Human Service Delivery Systems, Arthur J. Naparstek, Karen Kollias
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Excerpt from the full-text article:
Human service delivery systems get criticized by both "users" and "providers" of the services, regardless of countless reforms, evaluations, models, decentralization efforts and re-evaluations. In order to determine directions for the future, this article will discuss past policy initiatives, and review the literature which links human service needs to ethnicity and social class in a neighborhood context.
Black Families And National Policy, Andrew Billingsley
Black Families And National Policy, Andrew Billingsley
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Excerpt from the full-text article:
The family is both a source of society and a product of society. As a source of society the family produces individuals, values and a set of behaviors we call socialization which helps to build institutions which constitute the fabric of the larger society. As a product of society the family is highly influenced, conditioned and to a great extent determined by the forces which emanate from the institutional fabric of the larger society. Thus, what a family is, is to some extent determined by, influenced by, defined by the larger context of the society …
Social Workers, Immigrants, And Historians: A Re-Examination, Leslie Leighninger
Social Workers, Immigrants, And Historians: A Re-Examination, Leslie Leighninger
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
As a profession frequently caught in a "middleman" role between society at large and specific client groups, social work is often charged with adjusting client behavior to societal demands, rather than working from the other end of the continuum. In terms of their relations with ethnic and minority groups, social workers are sometimes pictured as representatives of a dominant, white Protestant culture, acting, intentionally or unintentionally, as standard bearers for that culture among dissident minority groups. In light of this picture, the addition of courses like "Black Dor Chicano] Culture and American Social Work" to the social work curriculum appears …

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Some Implications Of Ethnic Disparity In Education For Social Work, Faustine C. Jones, Samuel P. Wong
Some Implications Of Ethnic Disparity In Education For Social Work, Faustine C. Jones, Samuel P. Wong
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Excerpt from full-text article:
The increasing attention to the institutional nature of social problems is a significant emphasis in social work. Many of the personal troubles of individual clients are the products of a social system which operates to keep them in trouble, and an awareness of the institutional nature of social problems is a prerequisite for effective solution of personal troubles (cf. C. Wright Mills, 1959).
The Significance Of Ethnicity In Staffing Corrections, Alfred J. Kutzik
The Significance Of Ethnicity In Staffing Corrections, Alfred J. Kutzik
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Excerpt from the full-text article:
Until recently the total thrust of efforts to improve the staffing of corrections has been towards the recruitment and development of trained personnel. In the past decade it has begun to be recognized that factors other than training have to be taken into account. Largely as a result of California's groundbreaking Community Treatment Project the personality of staff is now considered by some to be as important as their training and in a few programs those with certain types of personality and training have been assigned to work, i.e., "matched", with juvenile offenders who have …
Ethnicity, Professionalism, And Black Paternalism: Implications For Social Welfare Services, Robert S. Bartlett
Ethnicity, Professionalism, And Black Paternalism: Implications For Social Welfare Services, Robert S. Bartlett
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Excerpt from the full-text article:
The assumption around the use of nonprofessionals as members of the agency team suggest that the "bridge" function is enhanced when the new worker and the client-system are similar in such factors as ethnicity, class, cultural background, religion, and so on. Data from a 1968 survey tested Grosser's hypothesis: "that staff similarity with the client in ethnicity...will result in greater accuracy regarding the client and his community (1966:60)". Grosser's hypothesis was tested at a black staffed community action agency, serving a black ghetto in a large metropolitan city in the northeastern section of the United …
