Nov 27th 2023, 13:22

Abstract
The article discusses the importance of adopting a human rights-based approach in addressing the lessons learned from the Covid-19 pandemic. The article highlights the case of a human rights-based hospital in Sweden that actively reached out to vulnerable individuals in the community during the pandemic, emphasizing how the human rights-based approach contributes to building trust and thereby realizing the right to life and health. Based on this example it explores the need for a human rights-based approach in crisis management including climate-induced disasters. The article emphasizes the interconnectedness of all human rights and the need for economic prioritizations that align with social justice commitments. It highlights the role of institutions, legal frameworks, and collaborative efforts at various levels to ensure the realization of human rights and the principle of ‘leave no one behind’. The article concludes by advocating for the integration of human rights principles into legislation, policies, and actions to build a fairer and more resilient society.

Nov 27th 2023, 12:22

Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, Ahead of Print. Positive effects of Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS) frameworks have been reported in juvenile justice facilities but have not yet been extended to adult prisons. As part of initial PBIS development in a large prison in the United Kingdom, this study utilized focus groups to investigate the valued outcomes considered most important to prison officers and prisoners. We found that although prisoners and staff largely shared the same values, there were meaningful differences in their relative priorities, reflecting the disparate roles that each play in the functioning of the prison. Focus groups also revealed possible contextual barriers to PBIS implementation in this setting. We conclude that input from both parties is essential in designing values-based support strategies that are aligned across key stakeholders. We discuss how focus groups might inform PBIS intervention planning and how our findings point to specific research gaps in applying PBIS in adult prisons.

Nov 27th 2023, 12:22

Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, Ahead of Print. Check-in/check-out (CICO) is an evidence-based multicomponent intervention widely implemented in elementary and middle schools. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether an adapted CICO intervention, with CICO components designed to be more developmentally appropriate for adolescents and contextually relevant for high schools, could be implemented with procedural fidelity and improve outcomes for students with and at risk for disabilities. The study included three ninth-grade students (two with individualized education programs) in one public high school. We used a non-concurrent multiple baseline design conducted over two academic years during the COVID-19 pandemic to experimentally evaluate the effects of CICO-Secondary on student academic engagement. Results demonstrated that students participated with adequate procedural fidelity and that there was a functional relation between implementation of CICO-Secondary and improved student academic engagement. Students and school personnel also perceived CICO-Secondary to be socially valid. Implications for both future research and practice are discussed.

Nov 27th 2023, 11:22

Abstract
Based on the latest developments in ecological law in Latin America, including the recognition of the rights of nature, this article examines emerging climate-related cases that, challenging Western anthropocentric legal paradigms, address the climate crisis from an ecocentric perspective to protect both human and nature rights. Through novel arguments based on ecological law counter-narratives and a rights of nature perspective, these cases are giving way to the emergence of a new typology of climate litigation in which the intrinsic value and interests of all life forms and the legal status of nature are recognized. First, this article analyses the experience and current trends in the emerging field of ecological law in the region, including ecological and intergenerational dimensions of human rights and the legal and jurisprudential recognition of the rights of nature. Second, it reviews and compares some of the most relevant climate-related cases as well as recent, less known—some still pending—claims that incorporate an ecocentric approach, combining the protection of the rights of present and future generations and the rights of nature or exploring other arguments in the field of ecological law. These cases have the potential to contribute to the development of climate litigation with an ecocentric profile. Attention is given to the main arguments, characteristics, strengths, and shortcomings of these cases, as well as to potential barriers to the development of an ecocentric angle to climate litigation and the implementation of judicial decisions.

Nov 27th 2023, 11:19

American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Medicine®, Ahead of Print. Medical care received at end-of-life is often not aligned with individuals’ values and care preferences. Much can get in the way of an individual communicating and documenting their preferences to care providers and close others, even if it is a goal to do so. The objective of this work was to develop a measure of Advance Care Planning Self-Efficacy (ACP SE) focused on three important behaviors: completing a living will, documenting a healthcare agent, and discussing quality versus quantity of life issues. Measure development was framed by the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) of behavior change. Following the completion of focus groups and formative qualitative work, an independent sample (N = 310, adults aged 50+) was randomly split into two halves for exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses (EFA/CFA). Multivariate analyses examined relationships between ACP SE and other TTM constructs. Results of the CFA demonstrated excellent internal consistency (α = .95) and good model fit (CFI = .89, RMSEA = .13). Self-efficacy was framed by the TTM as situation-specific confidence. Through the measure development process, it was found that confidence to do ACP was impacted by various situational and attitudinal variables. ACP Self-Efficacy was found to differ significantly by Stage of Change. This study produced a reliable and valid measure of situation-specific confidence for ACP grounded within the TTM that could enhance future interventions aimed at increasing participation in ACP.

Nov 27th 2023, 11:19

Abstract
Conflict is the forgotten sibling of collaborative governance. Variably framed as an alternative to collaboration, a contextual feature shaping interpersonal interactions, or an obstacle to be overcome via deliberation, conflict lurks in the background of discourse about collaboration. However, few theories of collaboration directly address the role of conflict, and those that do focus on conflict as a macro-scale phenomenon, characteristic of a governance forum or participating organizations. Given the importance of short term, person-to-person interactions in shaping the overall trajectory of collaborative dynamics and outcomes, a micro-scale analysis of collaborative conflict is warranted. This paper develops a framework for evaluating the role of micro-scale conflict in collaborative governance, drawing on the case of negotiations to relicense hydropower dams in the Central Valley of California, USA. Data sources include four years of meeting observations, interviews with participating stakeholders, and written comments submitted during the process. The work first classifies all instances of disagreement observed during the negotiations to develop a typology of micro-scale conflict. It then compares differences in the frequency, type, and management of disagreements in high and low collaboration relicensings to explore the interaction between conflict dynamics and overall collaborative approach. In the high collaboration case, interpersonal disagreements occurred frequently, were more dynamic and mutable over time, and served to elaborate and refine management approaches. By evaluating conflict dynamics that occur at the scale of an individual interaction and the positive and negative roles they play in shaping collaborative outcomes, this research moves conflict from being a static barrier or contextual factor to a dynamic ingredient that can be managed to shape policy outcomes.

Nov 27th 2023, 10:28

The American Review of Public Administration, Ahead of Print. Governments use various performance measures to ensure that public services delivered by private-sector providers are safe and meet citizens’ particular needs. These measures can include awarding accreditation and assessing citizen satisfaction. However, few studies have investigated how objective performance measures relate to citizens’ subjective evaluations of providers from the perspective of service users. To fill this gap in the literature, this study closely explores a particular case of the Korean childcare market in which governments administer a large number of private-sector providers that play a dominant role in delivering public services. Our findings indicate the positive accreditation–satisfaction link is weakened when parents may not be aware of a provider’s accreditation status or when their selected service provider is nonprofit, as opposed to for-profit. Overall, this study suggests that it is important to understand why there is some degree of incongruence between objective and subjective measures and how these two different performance indicators converge in the data. Special attention should be given to bridging the gap by closely reviewing institutional pressure on service providers and a symbolic impression of accreditation.

Nov 27th 2023, 10:23

Journal of Social Work, Ahead of Print. SummaryEfforts to assess the risk of criminal legal system involvement among people with serious mental illness (SMI) often rely on strategies that locate the risk at the individual level. The present study examines environmental factors that contribute to criminal legal involvement for people with SMI in mental health treatment settings. Thirty-one people with serious mental illness and prior criminal legal involvement were interviewed in this qualitative study. Interviews focused on factors that contributed to and protected against criminal legal involvement. The research team engaged in inductive thematic analysis of interview data.FindingsFindings reveal that understanding of physical, social, and treatment environments is critical to risk assessment with this population. In highlighting the role of the environment, we offer findings that may lead to improved strategies for service delivery with this population. Complicating contemporary approaches to risk assessment, our findings suggest that mental health treatment systems that serve individuals with serious mental illness should engage in meaningful consideration of environmental factors.ApplicationsIdentification of protective and risk factors in clients’ physical, social, and treatment environments is critical for social work practice with individuals who have a history of criminal legal involvement and serious mental illness. Treatment settings can create opportunities for the development of protective factors by integrating wrap-around services, treatment services that follow an empowerment-participation strengths model, and post-incarceration services with clients.

Nov 27th 2023, 10:07

Abstract
Aims
To assess electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) outcomes in patients affected by depressive symptoms with versus without additional comorbid personality disorders/traits.
Methods
We identified observational studies investigating ECT clinical outcomes in patients affected by depressive symptoms with versus without comorbid personality disorders/traits in Embase/Medline in 11/2022. Our protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023390833). Study quality was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa-Scale. Our primary outcomes were ECT response and remission rates. Meta-regression analyses included effects of in/outpatient percentages, age, number of ECT sessions, and electrode placement; subgroup analyses included the assessment methods for personality disorders/traits. We performed sensitivity analyses after excluding poor-quality studies.
Results
A total of 20 studies (n = 11,390) were included in our analysis. Patients with comorbid personality disorders/traits had lower remission rates (OR = 0.42, 95% CI = 0.31, 0.58, p < 0.001) with substantial heterogeneity (I2 = 93.0%) as well as lower response rates (OR = 0.35, 95% CI = 0.24, 0.51, n = 5129, p < 0.001) with substantial heterogeneity (I2 = 93.0%) compared with patients without comorbid personality disorders/traits. Relapse rates were higher in patients with versus without comorbid personality disorders/traits (OR = 3.23, 95% CI = 1.40, 7.45, k = 4, n = 239, p = 0.006) with moderate heterogeneity (I2 = 75.0%) and post-ECT memory impairment was more frequent in patients with versus without comorbid personality disorders/traits (OR = 1.41, 95% CI = 1.36, 1.46, k = 4, n = 471, p < 0.001) with minimal heterogeneity (I2 = 0.0%). Dropout rates were higher in patients with versus without comorbid personality disorders/traits (OR = 1.58, 95% CI = 1.13, 2.21, k = 3, n = 6145, p = 0.008).
Conclusions
Patients with comorbid personality disorders/traits treated with ECT are reported to have lower response and remission rates and higher rates of side effects and relapse rates compared with patients without personality disorders/traits.

(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2023/grey-literature/low-earners-need-more-retirement-income/) Low Earners Need More Retirement Income
Nov 27th 2023, 09:21

Social Security alone is simply not enough, new Vanguard study confirms.
People often assume that the retirement needs of low-wage workers are covered by Social Security’s progressive benefit formula.  That assessment has never been correct.
Social Security was never intended to be the sole source of income for any group of retirees.  Social Security replacement rates – benefits as a percentage of pre-retirement earnings – fall far below the generally accepted benchmarks.  And low earners are more likely to claim early, which results in an actuarial reduction in their replacement rate.  As a result, at age 62, Social Security currently replaces just 41 percent of a low-paid worker’s pre-retirement earnings.  For those low-income workers who must pay some or all of their Medicare premiums, the net replacement rate from Social Security is even lower.  Thus, low-income workers – like their middle- and higher-paid counterparts – need supplementary retirement income.
A new report from Vanguard drives this point home in spades.  The researchers estimate retirement readiness for different cohorts and income groups.  The estimates incorporate inputs from Vanguard’s capital market model in combination with empirical data on household balance sheets, savings rates, and spending patterns to estimate retirement readiness.
Retirement readiness involves comparing two replacement rates.  The first is the sustainable replacement rate – the highest level of consumption as a share of pre-retirement income that the worker can sustain in 90 percent of market return/mortality scenarios.  The second is a target replacement rate based on retirement spending needs inferred from national survey data.  The difference between these two replacement rates is the household’s projected savings gap at age 65.  The basic results are shown in Figure 1.  While high-income workers across all generations are on track to meet their spending needs, all other groups are projected to fall short.  The shortfall is not that large for those at the 70th percentile, and the picture improves substantially for the youngest cohort.
The story for the bottom half of the population is much grimmer.  The gaps between target and projected replacement rates are very large for those at the 25th percentile and the 50th percentile of the income distribution.  For the 50th percentile, the situation appears to be improving slightly for younger cohorts, but no improvement is evident across cohorts for low-wage workers.
Let me make two comments.  First, the Center for Retirement Research has been putting out a similar – albeit less sophisticated – product since 2006 – the National Retirement Risk Index.  This Index has consistently shown that a very large share of working-age households in the bottom third of the income distribution will not be able to maintain their consumption in retirement.  It’s wonderful to have another study from such a respected source that supports those findings. 
Second, the Vanguard numbers make the case that low-wage workers need a way to save.  This concern has led to the adoption of Auto-IRA programs in 14 states for workers whose employer does not offer a plan.  These plans are essential, and we need to do everything to strengthen them.  The plight of the low-wage worker also underlines the importance of the launching of the expanded Savers Credit.  Finally, the numbers show how crucial it is to find a solution for Social Security before the depletion of its trust fund reserves in the early 2030s.

Nov 27th 2023, 08:51

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to (1) examine global human rights disparities that were acutely revealed or exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and (2) explore ways that the identification of disparities and lessons learned during the pandemic offer opportunities for social work education. The article begins with an overview of global human rights in the categories of gender, children, race/ethnicity, environment, and socioeconomic status. The use of an intersectionality framework is then suggested as one lens for examining lessons learned during the pandemic to improve our global preparation and response. We do not want to wait for the next crisis to find populations with the same human rights vulnerability.

Nov 27th 2023, 08:22

International Social Work, Ahead of Print. Internally displaced persons in protracted displacement may not receive optimal social work services. Governments must refrain from implicitly ‘ending’ displacement and uphold social care policies that really work for the displaced. By doing so, social work services become more sensitive and life-changing among people displaced for longer periods of time.

Nov 27th 2023, 07:29

Javier Milei in Argentina (above). Geert Wilders in the Netherlands. These are the two latest “populist shocks” – the tip of the “populist wave” that comes crashing against the weakened defences of liberal democracies…. Using “populist” instead of more accurate but also stigmatising terms such as “far-right” or “racist” acts as a key legitimiser of far-right politics.

Nov 27th 2023, 07:29

Journal of Health and Social Behavior, Ahead of Print. Whereas previous research shows that union membership is associated with improved health, static measurements have been used to test dynamic theories linking the two. We construct a novel measure of cumulative unionization, tracking individuals across their entire careers, to examine health consequences in older adulthood. We use data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (1970–2019) and predict self-rated health, functional limitations, and chronic health conditions in ages 60 to 79 using cumulative unionization measured during respondents’ careers. Results from growth models show that unionized careers are associated with .25 SD to .30 SD improvements in health among older adults across all measures. Analyses of life course mechanisms reveal heterogeneous effects across unionization timing, age in older adulthood, and birth cohort. Moreover, subgroup analyses reveal unionization to partially, but not fully, ameliorate disparities based on privileged social positions. Our findings reveal a substantial and novel mechanism driving older adulthood health disparities.

Nov 27th 2023, 07:22

Abstract
In this brief text I want to offer a personal reflection on my work as a former Commissioner in Colombia’s Commission for the Clarification of Truth, Coexistence and Non-repetition. What is of interest to me is the idea that truth-seeking commission models are complex “listening devices” that render certain forms of violence intelligible while other more systemic types, remain elusive. In contexts of deeply rooted historical and endemic racial and economic inequalities, this is not a minor issue as these material inequalities are at the heart of conflict itself. In fact, what I call the “transitional promise of transformation” often falls short of changing the structures of quotidian experience of people and communities scarred by such historical injuries. Rather, those “transformations” are deferred to a future “liberal peace building” or development-oriented agenda. I examine this way of listening through a particular theoretical lens and aspire not only to contribute with an empathic and a reflexive distance from our work as a Commission but also to posit wider questions.
