Transnational social work: using a wraparound model

In this article, we explore the wraparound approach of service delivery as a model for transnational social work. The wraparound model, used primarily within community‐based children's mental health services and child protection initiatives, has been effective when planning services for clients and their families with complicated needs, whose care has to be provided within a multiple provider context. Most social work is delivered nationally or internationally rather than trans‐nationally. In the article we outline how the model could be structured to meet the particular needs of transmigrants, including the involvement of NGOs and INGOs, and identify key obstacles and limitations.

Weak Convergence of the Wild Bootstrap for the Aalen–Johansen Estimator of the Cumulative Incidence Function of a Competing Risk

Abstract. We give a rigorous study of weak convergence of the wild bootstrap for non‐parametric estimation of the cumulative event probability of a competing risk. The data may be subject to independent left‐truncation and right‐censoring. Inclusion of left‐truncation is motivated by a study on pregnancy outcomes. The wild bootstrap includes as one case a popular resampling technique, where the limit distribution is approximated by repeatedly generating standard normal variates, while the data are kept fixed. Simulation results and a data example are also presented.
