Integrating cultural competency and empirically-based practices in child welfare services: A model based on community psychiatry field principles of health

Acknowledging the existence of racism in our society is crucial to understanding the need for a culturally competent approach to developing empirically-based practices in child welfare, thereby providing a foundation for evidence-based practice in the field. Advancements have already been made in mental health to address cultural competence and evidence-based practice. This article presents a model of seven field principles of health promotion successfully used in the mental health services. Examples of the use of the model in various settings and evaluation projects are provided. Each of the seven principles – rebuilding/supporting the village; providing access to health care; improving bonding, attachment and connectedness; improving self-esteem; increasing social skills of target recipients; reestablishing/strengthening the adult protective shield; and minimizing residual effects of trauma (Bell et al., 2002) – is elaborated. The model's critical role in establishing culturally competent evidence-based practice is further outlined for application in the field of child welfare.     

Evidence-based practice in family group decision-making for Anglo, African American and Hispanic families

This study addresses the need and gap in the literature on evidence-based practice in family group decision-making services by reporting on the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services' Family Group Decision-Making study, conducted between December 2003 and July 2005 with Anglo, African American and Hispanic families throughout Texas. These services are compared to standard practice by assessing satisfaction, child well-being and exits from care. Findings indicate that both parents and relatives are more satisfied with family group decision-making conferences than standard practice on a number of dimensions, with relatives reporting feeling more empowered than parents. Children are reported to be less anxious if their families participate in a conference, and they may be more adjusted when they are placed with relatives following a conference. Finally, exits from care are faster if families participate in family group decision-making conferences, and exits to reunification are increased; this may be especially true of African American and Hispanic children.     

The impact of biological preferences on parental investments in children and step-children

A remarriage typically involves significant changes in a family’s financial circumstance, and these changes, combined with the relative bargaining relationship between spouses, likely affect the well-being of the children who are part of the family. In this paper, I use the separate-spheres model, a theoretical model that explains the determinants of bargaining power in marriage, to analyze how a remarried couple’s bargaining relationship affects their child investment in stepfamilies. Based on this theoretical model, I build and estimate an empirical model that investigates the determinants of parental investment. As evidence of parental preference for biological children over stepchildren, I find that an increased wage rate of a biological mother significantly improves her child investment when her husband is a stepfather of the child, while there is no such effect for mothers living with the biological father of the child.

中东君主国的家族统治

沙特阿拉伯、阿曼、阿拉伯联合酋长国、巴林、卡塔尔、科威特、约旦由沙特、赛义德、阿勒纳哈扬、哈利法、萨尼、萨巴赫、哈希姆家族统治。这些统治家族拥有不容置疑的特权,控制着国家大部分重要职位。在经过现代化的洗礼后,这些君主国仍能保持家族统治,主要有以下原因：一是落后的生产力;二是伊斯兰教思想武器;三是民众对部落家族的感情;四是家族统治者的积极改革;五是西方宗主国的长期统治。     

青少年犯罪心理形成的家庭因素及预防

青少年犯罪已经成为当前备受关注的社会问题之一。青少年的犯罪行为是受其犯罪心理支配的,而犯罪心理的形成是各种因素综合作用的结果。研究表明,家庭是导致青少年犯罪心理形成的关键因素。家庭结构的缺损、家庭环境的恶劣、教养方式的不当等与青少年犯罪心理的形成密切相关。因此,加强对这些不良因素的研究,探索解决问题的途径,对预防青少年犯罪具有重要意义。     

大城市新市区人口的特点、问题及对策——以南京市江宁区为例

随着我国城市化的深入发展,许多大城市开始进入了扩散型城市化中的郊区化阶段.以南京市的新市区--江宁区为例,其人口发展的特点是净迁入人口增长迅速;流动人口数量大;区内人口增长率和文化素质有着明显的地域差异.而人口的文化素质偏低、人才短缺以及计划生育工作难度大等则是新市区亟待解决的突出问题.提出要加大教育投资、创新人才工作机制、建设好社区计划生育管理新机制等对策.     

家庭性别分工与农业女性化——基于江苏408份样本家庭的实证分析

农业女性化是农村劳动力转移过程中性别存在差异的产物。以农业家庭的性别分工为理论基础,通过描述统计和计量分析,揭示了包括年龄、文化程度、地区、收入和农业生产决策权等在内的自变量对农村女性从事的农业生产比重的影响。结果显示,农业女性化的现象在江苏省具有普遍性;农业女性化现象具有一定的刚性,男性劳动力”回流”以及男性劳动力外出打工时间的长短,并不能显著影响女性从事劳动生产的比重;女性在农业生产诸方面的的决策逐渐占据主导地位,女性已正成为农业生产的主体。
