0 Understanding client communities spatially for developing effective interventions: Application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology for human services delivery. /slideshow/understanding-client-communities-spatially-for-developing-effective-interventions-application-of-geographic-information-systems-gis-technology-for-human-services-delivery-37393625/37393625 mandayam-swsd-2014-presentation-140727031401-phpapp01
With a professional identity grounded in the ‘Person-in-Environment’ framework, social workers are better equipped to understand the need to incorporate geographical aspects pertaining to where clients live or work as part of their practice, given that these factors have a significant influence on client well-being. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology aids professional social work practice by visually displaying contextual data through analytical maps and highlighting the interactions between human service program clients and their environments (Azzam & Robinson, 2013). This technology is useful for administrators and planners in order to make informed decisions regarding programs including deciding the geographic location of human service agencies, examining program outcomes and impact as well as streamlining program implementation. With a capability of engaging in visual map-based spatial analysis of social issues affecting individuals and families in various communities and neighborhoods, GIS is a relevant tool for social work practice, especially for identifying human service needs and advocating for resources. With GIS, social workers could employ cutting-edge techniques to ensure better practices at the micro, mezzo and macro levels. This presentation aims to provide a practical insight regarding the utility of GIS technology for real world human service applications. Specific examples include a) an asset mapping exercise for a non-profit that provides health, employment and education services to families, children and seniors living in low-income housing communities in California; b) a needs assessment project for examining the availability of substance abuse treatment facilities with services in Spanish in Los Angeles County (Guerrero, Pan, Curtis & Lizano, 2011); and c) an evaluation exercise for a low-income housing project in Los Angeles to understand community risks and assets for planning human service interventions. In all the examples, ArcGIS software was used to understand existing assets and identify gaps/needs within the client communities for program planning purposes.]]>

0 Exploring the multifarious penalising impacts of electronically monitored home detention based sanctions on offenders. /slideshow/exploring-the-multifarious-penalising-impacts-of-electronically-monitored-home-detention-based-sanctions-on-offenders/36935850 sat2171430mariettamartinovic-140713211003-phpapp02
Home detention based sanctions with electronic monitoring have expanded throughout the Western world on the basis of plentiful and rigorous conditions and strict surveillance and monitoring mechanisms, which encompass various electronic monitoring devices. These are imposed on offenders to strictly control their movement and more generally to protect the community. A plethora of research has focused on the effectiveness-related issues of home detention based sanctions, but there has been limited research on how offenders relate to punishment on these sanctions. This paper therefore analyses the impact of ‘electronically monitored incarceration at home’ on offenders, and it attempts to fill a significant gap in criminological research. A qualitative analysis of Western world studies has indicated that conditions of home detention with electronic monitoring impact on the offenders’ life in terms of three main influences: restrictions/obligations, facilitating control factors, and the combined effects of these. Restrictions/obligations are directly imposed on offenders with the primary purpose of punishing and to a lesser extent rehabilitating them; these include limiting movements, monetary obligations, and the enforcement of a pro-social lifestyle. The facilitating control factors refer to the imposition of stringent controls that monitor offenders’ compliance with the restrictions/obligations. Finally, the combined burdensome effects result from compliance with restrictions/obligations and facilitating control factors. These include under-duress social interaction, exposure to temptations, persistent alertness and feelings of insecurity. Consistent with social learning and social bond theories, this paper has found that although offenders find the enforced changes to their lifestyle ‘penalising’, in the majority of cases, home detention seems to, strengthen offenders’ ties with conventional society, provide them with an ability to handle real life stresses, and create a desire to live a pro-social lifestyle.]]>

This paper therefore analyses the impact of ‘electronically monitored incarceration at home’ on offenders, and it attempts to fill a significant gap in criminological research. A qualitative analysis of Western world studies has indicated that conditions of home detention with electronic monitoring impact on the offenders’ life in terms of three main influences: restrictions/obligations, facilitating control factors, and the combined effects of these. Restrictions/obligations are directly imposed on offenders with the primary purpose of punishing and to a lesser extent rehabilitating them; these include limiting movements, monetary obligations, and the enforcement of a pro-social lifestyle. The facilitating control factors refer to the imposition of stringent controls that monitor offenders’ compliance with the restrictions/obligations. Finally, the combined burdensome effects result from compliance with restrictions/obligations and facilitating control factors. These include under-duress social interaction, exposure to temptations, persistent alertness and feelings of insecurity. Consistent with social learning and social bond theories, this paper has found that although offenders find the enforced changes to their lifestyle ‘penalising’, in the majority of cases, home detention seems to, strengthen offenders’ ties with conventional society, provide them with an ability to handle real life stresses, and create a desire to live a pro-social lifestyle.

U.S. activists in the anti-human trafficking movement say two of the biggest obstacles to recruitment are, first, that people are unaware of the prevalence of domestic trafficking, and, second, that people are often overwhelmed by the enormity of the problem. As such, activists consciously design awareness and education programs to combat feelings of complacency and impotence. This paper uses interview data with activists to analyze how emotion work is done online, including using statistics to generate moral shock and telling survivor stories to demonstrate efficacy. Furthermore, the web, especially social media, facilitates global interactions between activists, state actors, and end users that foster good will and encourage collaborations. A positive unintended emotional consequence of such interactions is that activists combating in the field draw encouragement and motivation from their stateside supporters.]]>

Technology is ‘nothing new’. The human timeline is steeped in the acquisition, development and utilization of tools that have extended our limits, helped us adapt to changing environments, and transformed our societies. The exponential rise of communicative and ‘social’ technology in recent years is the manifestation of a long and deep relationship between people and their devices. In contemporary society, where technological advances are exponential, this intersection of the ‘digital’ and the ‘social’ creates an important space for professional practice dialogue. While much of the popular discourse centers on the adoption of technology for service provision, or on issues of access and equity for service users, the principles that underpin the development and implementation of these technologies must also be understood and critiqued in light of our own professional values. For social workers in a large government department, technological change has been rapid and unavoidable. Government services are adapting to the radical (sometimes fundamental) remapping of social, cultural, political and economic structures brought about by the Digital Age. For a number of practitioners, this journey has resulted in a dynamic interaction of values, through both interplay and collision. This paper uses cooperative enquiry to draw on the emerging practice wisdom of those heavily engaged within a new (often unknown) environment, as well as a broad range of literature, to consider the similarities and differences between modern social work values and those of the Digital Age. The ways in which social workers continue to operate from a base of social justice, self-determination and engagement, while using technologies designed for efficiency, rapidity and connectivity, will also be explored.]]>

Care or case management provides outreach and engagement, problem assessment and understanding, service planning of goals and objectives, advocacy and care coordination, referrals to resource, and monitoring plan progress and problem resolution. One major problem is clients’ adherence to service plans, with adherence failures ranging from about 24% to 90%. Recent technology has raised interest in using mobile smartphones to improve outcomes for clients receiving care management. The goal of the Teleherence project was to improve client mental health outcomes including empowerment, self-efficacy, and clinician-client relationships by increasing their adherence to treatment and services using prediction technology and web-enabled telecommunications between clinicians, clients, and clients’ family and friends. The Teleherence system allows clinicians to automatically provide voice or text communication with clients. The system could deliver a series of voice or text statements as well as questions that could accept responses from clients, and based on these responses, branch to additional statements or questions or perform other tasks such as playing an audio file. Four applications of Teleherence found that while potential benefits can be had, many agencies have antiquated computing systems, are constantly threatened with budget cuts and reorganization, have non-standard interventions, and have high staff turnover making a sophisticated automated system difficulty to integrate into existing services. Adapting internet and mobile technology into services takes resources that agencies often prefer to devote to additional services, especially if no research establishes the effectiveness and cost savings of web-phone technologies. Finally, the security and privacy of client data is a constant struggle for agencies and researchers. All these concerns can derail service automation efforts. This presentation suggests the road ahead in human services web-phone automation offers much potential, but is usually difficult, time consuming, and can substantially change how services are delivered.]]>

0 Outcomes of a social, multi-user, tablet-based game to prevent substance abuse and relationship violence. /slideshow/sat-217-1130-beverly-black/36934590 sat2171130beverlyblack-140713201303-phpapp02
High rates of substance abuse (SA) and relationship violence (RV) among teens suggests a need to create innovative prevention programs. Our study evaluated Choice and Consequences (C&C), a social, multi-user, tablet-based game to reduce the risks associated with SA and RV. For 7 class periods across two weeks, 35 students played the game, selecting activities to create a fun, but safe weekend. C&C presented various scenarios, such as someone starts touching you without your consent. Players received points and rationales for each action they selected that informed them as to the fun and risk associated with the actions. Following game playing, students (n=24) participated in three separate gender focus groups. Each focus group addressed the level of realism of the game, ability to learn from the game and aspects they liked/disliked about the game. Focus groups were audiotaped and transcribed. Transcriptions were analyzed using NVivo 9. Results from the focus groups found that boys and girls liked the concept of the game and its activities; they especially liked the social atmosphere during the game. They liked the facts that gave information on each action and consequence. They liked rating the fun level of each action. Youth preferred the delivery method over a didactic presentation. Youth agreed that the consequences of the actions choices were realistic; a player lost points for taking drugs, but gained points for looking cool with peers. Youth stated the game could help prevent SA and RV if played before they experience the problems presented in the game in real-life. The youth stated that the RV information may be more helpful than the SA information. Results suggest that game delivery method, using multi-media is a promising prevention program method for youth. Results also suggest gaming may be applied to other areas of prevention.]]>

Many adults who have experienced out-of-home care speak eloquently about their sadness at having few, if any, mementoes of their childhoods, and how important these are for having a sense of who they are. The photos, memorabilia, family stories and other memories marking the passage through childhood are easily lost or buried because they are not part of the official record. Rather than requiring an already overburdened workforce to add extra records management tasks to their administrative load, the aim of the Working in the Cloud project is to develop the template for a ‘virtual locker’ or storage space for digital copies of the personal documents of children in care. This ‘virtual locker’ would store both digital copies of the personal documents of children in care and a location index for physical items such as the original birth certificate. An interdisciplinary team comprising social workers, ICT researchers, digital archivists and programmers and an ethicist worked together to pilot with young people and their workers this new digital repository. The presentation will be based on a research scoping study undertaken with young people in out of home care or who have recently left care about their use of technology, their attitudes and approach to their personal records. Young people worked as expert consultants alongside researchers to design a ‘virtual locker’ which stores information that is relevant to children in care, in an easily accessible format for all users – children in care, and their workers and carers. The security of the personal information held is also paramount and is a significant feature of the research. This presentation is an opportunity to report on work in progress and to stimulate discussion of these issues with others in the out-of-home care sector or interested in records.]]>

The security of the personal information held is also paramount and is a significant feature of the research. This presentation is an opportunity to report on work in progress and to stimulate discussion of these issues with others in the out-of-home care sector or interested in records. <img style="border:1px solid #C3E6D8;float:right;" alt="" src="https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/sat2171100cathyhumphreys-140713191400-phpapp02-thumbnail.jpg?width=120&height=120&fit=bounds" /> Many adults who have experienced out-of-home care speak eloquently about their sadness at having few, if any, mementoes of their childhoods, and how important these are for having a sense of who they are. The photos, memorabilia, family stories and other memories marking the passage through childhood are easily lost or buried because they are not part of the official record. Rather than requiring an already overburdened workforce to add extra records management tasks to their administrative load, the aim of the Working in the Cloud project is to develop the template for a ‘virtual locker’ or storage space for digital copies of the personal documents of children in care. This ‘virtual locker’ would store both digital copies of the personal documents of children in care and a location index for physical items such as the original birth certificate. An interdisciplinary team comprising social workers, ICT researchers, digital archivists and programmers and an ethicist worked together to pilot with young people and their workers this new digital repository.

“Big data” initiatives that aim to bring together and mine data from multiple databases across government and non-government agencies promise new insights into human service delivery. Specifically they aim to provide information about what services are being used, how, by whom and with what outcome. However, the process of achieving such insights poses both practical problems and ethical dilemmas. In this presentation, drawing from an extensive literature review and research with government and non-government human service organisations focussing on the design and redevelopment of electronic information systems, the most significant problems and dilemmas will be explored. It will be argued that current frameworks for ethical social work and human service practice will need to be expanded to accommodate developments in technology which have made ‘Big data’ projects possible.]]>

Actor-network theory (ANT) is a material semiotic analytical framework developed during the 1980s in the field of science and technology studies (STS). It is a constructivist perspective and can be considered a form of sociotechnical systems theory, but with a radical difference: it assumes that sociotechnical systems are heterogeneous networks enacted in webs of relations between human and nonhuman actors. From this point of view the social and material worlds, nature and culture, people and technology are deeply entangled. Since its origins in STS, ANT has disseminated widely and its concepts and sensibilities have informed studies of information systems in health informatics, education and beyond. It has also been used in environmental studies, human geography, sustainable technology, agriculture and architecture. Indeed ANT is capable of contributing to any disciplinary domain where the relationship between humans and the material world is germane. Yet, with a few notable exceptions, ANT has seldom caught the attention of researchers in the field of human service technology. This paper will discuss the distinctive characteristics of ANT, explore its methodological implications, and consider the contribution it might make to research enquiries in the field of human service technology.]]>

0 Social work student beliefs about social media: Implications for education and training. /slideshow/fri-217-1530-melanie-sage/36933174 fri2171530melaniesage-140713183159-phpapp01
Social workers and other professionals are increasingly using social media in their professional lives as a way to network, serve clients, share information, or find information. Education about technology and social media in social work is often integrated sporadically in to programs, and based on the comfort level or experience of instructors. This research aims to understand the beliefs and practices of social work students who have completed a social work field placement in an accredited program. Participants responded to survey questions which explore their beliefs about appropriate use of social media in the workplace, as well as the level of training they received in their academic programs and work sites. This study reports on feedback from over 100 students and recent social work graduates. The data offers information about the use of social media in their personal lives and use in field placements, and offer insight in to the widely disperse beliefs of students about whether and when it is appropriate to search for or engage with clients using social media. Data is shared related to student perceptions of agency beliefs around social media use and the need for ongoing education. Two thirds of respondents check their social media sites multiple times each day, and forty percent are on social media during work hours. A third of them search for clients online. Almost half believe that it is acceptable to search for client information on social media for the sake of curiosity. Despite these figures, half of respondents do not know whether their agency permits seeking out or connecting with clients via social media. Qualitative responses indicate the strong polarized feelings of students about appropriate uses of social media. Implications for training and education are discussed.]]>
