Here is an invaluable resource to help professionals understand the
broad range of issues and challenges that adolescents face as they
grapple with their sexuality. This highly informative volume
addresses the most compelling issues of adolescent sexuality.
Sexual orientation, acquaintance rape, new social roles, and
sexually transmitted diseases are among the numerous topics that
social workers confront daily in helping adolescents define and
seek solutions to their sex-related concerns. Adolescent Sexuality
highlights the importance of innovative approaches and client
empowerment in prevention and treatment programs for youth,
particularly in this era of declining federal support. This timely
volume reveals the reluctance of adolescents to confide in their
families; therefore, experts offer valuable suggestions for social
workers to strengthen and use community resources--the church,
family planning agencies, schools, and support groups--to
supplement the efforts of many families.

Urban renewal has been the dominant approach to revitalizing
industrialized communities that fall into decline. A national,
community-based organization, the Skillman Foundation sought to
engage in a joint effort with the University of Michigan's School
of Social Work to bring six neighborhoods in one such declining
urban center, Detroit, back to positions of strength and national
leadership. A Twenty-First Century Approach to Community Change
introduces readers to the basis for the Foundation's solicitation
of social work expertise and the social context within which the
work of technical assistance began. Building on research, the
authors introduce the theory and practice knowledge of earlier
scholars, including the conduct of needs assessments at multiple
levels, engagement of community members in identifying
problem-solving strategies, assistance in developing community
goals, and implementation of social work field instruction
opportunities. Lessons learned and challenges are described as they
played out in the process of creating partnerships for the
Foundation with community leaders, engaging and maintaining youth
involvement, managing roles and relationships with multiple
partners recruited by the Foundation for their specialized
expertise, and ultimately conducting the work of technical
assistance within a context of increasing influence of the city's
surrounding systems (political, economic, educational, and social).
Readers will especially note the role of technical assistance in an
evolving theory of change.
This pocket guide offers researchers a framework for conducting
research in a culturally sensitive manner with individuals,
families, and communities in diverse settings. This unique
framework focuses on a process, rather than a typology of
behaviors, attitudes, values, and beliefs. All too frequently,
cross-cultural research improperly attributes behaviors, beliefs,
and values entirely to culture, when a closer examination would
reveal the shared influences of gender, socioeconomic status,
immigration status, and racial and ethnic backgrounds that interact
in complex ways. By encouraging practitioners to incorporate an
intersectionality lens into their work, this pocket guide helps
researchers reveal stories that are more than the sum of particular
identities.
Sharing their extensive research experience with diverse
populations around the world, the authors present a range of fluid
and dynamic cross-cultural research practices that readers can
easily adapt to their unique circumstances. At the intersection of
culture and research methods, chapters illustrate the application
of the model to three broad areas of inquiry: describing the nature
of a problem; understanding the etiology of the problem; and
evaluating the interventions designed to ameliorate the problem.
Each area is illustrated with examples of research projects that
incorporate multiple epistemologies and methodologies in order to
better understand and respond to a population's needs.
This guide offers a complete roadmap for developing cross-cultural
projects that truly engage communities, and will be a trusted
resource for students and seasoned researchers alike.
