Abstract: Healthy People 2030 is the most recent iteration of an initiative that sets national goals to address the country’s most pressing health priorities. First introduced in 1980, the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP), under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has set forth decade-long objectives for improving health and well-being (ODPHP, 2021). Each 10-year plan is built on what was learned from the previous, with attention to outcome assessments and emerging concerns. Throughout this 40-year span, the focus of Healthy People has been to address mortality, older adult independence, health disparities, health throughout the life span, prevention, quality of life, health equity, healthy development and behaviors, and the social and physical contexts of health. This ongoing project is rooted in the inclusiveness of individuals and communities, cognizance of multiple health dimensions and environments, collective accountability, and policy development with the underlying vision of promoting a more equitable society (ODPHP, n.d.-a). Since its inception, Healthy People has made considerable advancements in addressing public health concerns through careful design, well-defined aims, and focused efforts that encompass stakeholders at all levels and across sectors. Healthy People 2030 puts forth a smaller number of objectives to better concentrate efforts and has enhanced its “focus on health equity, social determinants of health, and health literacy—with a new focus on well-being” (ODPHP, 2021, para 6). It is clear that this long-standing initiative is well aligned with the purposes and values of the social work profession, with particular applicability to those who practice in various health social work capacities.

Abstract: Gaps in insurance coverage, specifically a lack of parity between coverage for medical and surgical benefits versus mental health and substance abuse benefits, put millions of people in the United States at risk of going without care. Over half of those with adult mental illness received no treatment; 28.2 percent of all adults with a mental illness reported that they were not able to receive the treatment they needed (Reinert et al., 2022). Most indicated that they did not receive care because of cost: 42 percent reported that they could not afford it, and 17 percent said health insurance did not pay enough for mental healthcare (Reinert et al., 2022).

Abstract: AbstractSubstance use rates are higher among transgender and gender-diverse people than cisgender people. Rates of substance use are also higher among young adults compared with other age groups. However, little research examines substance use among transgender and gender-diverse young adults. This study examines factors associated with binge drinking and cannabis use among transgender and gender-diverse young adults in Michigan. Participants (N = 78; ages 18–25) completed an online survey that included demographics and substance use and related characteristics. Race, stimulant misuse, and sedative misuse were associated with more frequent binge drinking. Older age and past-year pain reliever misuse were associated with less frequent cannabis use. Past-year stimulant use and using cannabis alone were associated with more frequent cannabis use. These findings suggest that additional marginalized identities may increase the risk for maladaptive substance use. Future research should examine substance use behaviors and correlates to inform interventions among this population.

Abstract: The social work profession is dealing with an increased rate of turnover, due largely in part to the pandemic. A recent study showed that U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) inpatient social workers utilized strategies of “emotional preparedness” to retain their job during the pandemic. The aim of this current study is to explore if outpatient social workers utilized similar strategies for their own job retention. There may be differences in the strategies utilized because outpatient and inpatient social workers tend to work in different environments. In this qualitative study, authors conducted interviews with (N = 13) outpatient social workers from a VA site in the Southwestern region of the United States. Findings were analyzed thematically.
Authors conducted open coding and applied a priori themes/strategies from extant research among VA inpatient social workers. Most of the a priori themes/strategies were prevalent among outpatient social workers, and two emerging themes were (1) acknowledging shared trauma and (2) human connection to overcome isolation. Strategies of emotional preparedness should be implemented on a grander scale to facilitate job retention since there is an expected deficit in the social work workforce until at least 2030.

Abstract: AbstractThis article seeks to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer. As part of a mixed-methods study of 69 women who have or currently live with breast cancer, 27 participants opted into a Phase II semistructured interview to further discuss their experiences of emotional coping during the treatment process, beliefs about therapy, and the impact of COVID-19 on their emotional experience during treatment. Thematic narrative analysis was used to identify common themes. Participants shared about the unique stressors and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during their treatment and how it complicated the already emotional experience of coping with cancer. Five identified themes include (1) logistical impact of COVID-19 and its effects on accessing medical care, (2) concerns related to accessing emotional support, (3) emotional reactions to battling breast cancer while living through a global pandemic, (4) ways in which loss was experienced, and (5) benefits to technology-based psychoeducation and social supports that were identified during the pandemic. COVID-19 had a significant impact on those currently in treatment for breast cancer including increasing fear, decreasing social support, and increased logistical challenges. Changes to psychotherapeutic treatment protocols to include technologically enhanced psychological support during treatment and digitally based psychoeducation curriculum are warranted.

Abstract: AbstractThe combination of the ongoing violence perpetuated against Black, Brown, and Asian people, and the increased incidence of death of Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC) and Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, elicited an important response from the field of social work across the nation. This article describes the efforts undertaken by a Social Work Department at a comprehensive cancer center in response to a call to develop antiracist practice. This article recounts the process of creating educational opportunities for oncology social workers to help them identify bias and racism in themselves and throughout the healthcare system, to embrace intentional antiracist practice, and to better advocate for BIPOC/AAPI patients and colleagues. The strategies included the development of an antiracism committee, the use of a social location exercise to influence and disrupt white supremacy, the creation of community guidelines for engaging in conversations about race, and the formulation of a new departmental policy ensuring a commitment to antiracist social work practice. In addition, a forum using multimedia was created to explore racial dynamics and to highlight the narratives of BIPOC and AAPI people. Further, a monthly Antiracist Clinical Case Conference was implemented to explore their role in the context of working with the interdisciplinary team in an oncology setting. This article concludes with recommendations for ongoing antiracist social work practice development that may be applied in various healthcare settings.

Abstract: AbstractThe number of Americans living with chronic health conditions has steadily increased. Chronic diseases are the leading causes of death and disability in the United States and cost the healthcare system an estimated $4.1 trillion dollars a year. The role of social workers in assisting patients in the management of their chronic diseases is vital. The behavioral health changes often required of chronic care management (CCM) patients require support and intervention by professionals to help the patient improve self-management of their chronic health conditions. Motivational interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based practice that helps people change by paying attention to the language patients use as they discuss their change goals and behaviors. Applying the principles and strategies of MI within the stages of change model (transtheoretical model of change) can help social workers better understand and assist patients receiving CCM. This article outlines specific strategies the social worker can use to address motivation at different stages of change.

Abstract: Eating disorders are one of the deadliest mental health conditions, ranking second in mortality among mental illnesses, with one person dying every 52 minutes from an eating disorder (Sonneville & Lipson, 2018). According to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders, eating disorders affect people of all genders, ages, races, ethnicities, body shapes and weights, sexual orientations, and socioeconomic statuses and take a significant economic toll on the individual, their families, and our culture as a whole (ANAD, n.d.). Affecting 9 percent of the U.S. population, these pervasive illnesses result in 10,200 deaths annually, and upward of 26 percent of individuals diagnosed with an eating disorder will attempt suicide (National Eating Disorders Association [NEDA], n.d.). Moreover, current statistics are believed to be an underestimation according to major epidemiological surveys, which indicate significant underreporting (Sugermeyer, 2021). Eating disorder treatment remains ineffective due to high rates of relapse among patients receiving care, with only 25 percent of those recovering after treatment (van Hoeken & Hoek, 2020). The dominant models of eating disorder treatment are limited due to an insufficient number of specialized professionals trained in evidence-based practices. Moreover, there are a limited number of eating disorder treatment programs that cluster in urban areas with inadequate insurance coverage (Kazdin et al., 2017).
