“…Along with the task of developing ethnically sensitive practice, comes the challenge of such an approach to community education. Some health programs are developing community partnerships to educate health care staff about cultural issues and to communicate health issues to community members (Poole & Van Hook, 1997). These partnerships might be vehicles for creating culturally sensitive community education programs that can inform individuals who might be at risk for depression as well as their support systems about possible symptoms and treatment of depression.…”

Depression tends not to be accurately identified and treated in primary care settings. Women of color are especially likely to use these settings for mental health issues but are less likely to be diagnosed appropriately. A study was conducted within four Florida primary care clinics serving primarily low-income families. Participants included 321 women (Black, 22%, Hispanic, 23.5%, White, 38.6%) who completed a confidential questionnaire while waiting to be seen by clinic staff. Ten percent reported recent major depression, with 26.7% indicating depressive symptoms during the past two years. Depressed women were significantly more likely to report physical violence during the past year. Respondents turned primarily to family, friends, and medical clinics for their depression. They found turning to clinic staff to be helpful and described psychosocial interventions as useful. Members of all ethnic/racial groups reported barriers to seeking help, including perceived separation between mental health and general health and stigma. Implications are discussed in terms of appropriate community education and screening procedures.

“…In an overview of the service-integration literature, Martin et al (1983) report that service integration as a strategy for collaborative service delivery reduces duplication, improves coordination, prevents ineffi ciency, minimizes costs, and improves responsiveness and eff ectiveness. It also is depicted as more capable of resolving the issues of multiproblem clients and improving overall client access ( Beatrice 1990;Farel and Rounds 1998 ;Poole and Van Hook 1997). However, other scholars have demonstrated that many of these purported benefi ts are not actually substantiated by empirical investigation ( Chamberlain and Rapp 1991; Gans and Horton 1975;Glisson and James 1992 ;Kagan 1993;Martin et al 1983;Weiss 1981 ;Zuckerman, Kaluzny, and Ricketts 1995).…”

Th e use of interorganizational relationships such as collaboration, partnerships, and alliances between public, private, and nonprofi t organizations for the delivery of human services has increased. Th is article contributes to the growing body of knowledge on collaboration by exploring one kind of interorganizational relationshipinteragency collaboration -in the fi eld of early care and education. It examines variations within interagency collaborations and their impact on management and program outcomes. Th e fi ndings show that interagency collaboration has a clear impact on management, program, and client outcomes: Specifi cally, the intensity of the collaborative relationship has a positive and statistically signifi cant impact on staff compensation, staff turnover, and school readiness. Sally Coleman Selden is an associate professor at Lynchburg College. Her current research focuses on strategic human resource management in state governments and the impact of collaboration on nonprofi t organizational effectiveness. University of South Carolina. Her research focuses on public and nonprofi t management, including human resource management, nonprofi t organizational effectiveness, and collaborative service delivery.untested assumptions concerning the impact of collaboration (Milward 1996;O ' Toole 1997 ).Th e article is divided into fi ve sections. First, we review previous research on collaboration, focusing primarily on studies that develop typologies of collaborative forms and impact studies. Second, we describe the policy context in which this project examines interagency collaboration. Th ird, we describe the nature of collaboration in early care and education and develop a set of hypotheses about the impact of interagency collaborations on management processes and program outcomes. Fourth, we introduce the data and methods used in this study. Finally, we examine the hypotheses using the data collected and discuss the implications of the fi ndings. Approaches to the Study of CollaborationA number of scholarly and practitioner communities are engaged in research about collaborative service delivery, each with its own perspective on how best to approach the topic. Research has focused on the factors associated with successful collaboration, the motives underlying the decision to collaborate, the types of collaborative models, and the outcomes of collaborative relationships (Foster-Fishman et al. 2001;Gray 1989;Mattessich and Monsey 1992;Mulroy and Shay 1998;O ' Regan and Oster 2000 ;Stone 2000). Because of the diversity of academic fi elds involved in the study of collaborative service delivery and the multiplicity of relationships, a considerable range and volume of research exists across disciplines. Th erefore, we will limit our review of the research by focusing on two areas that are directly relevant to our study. First, the review explores a few of the myriad of approaches scholars have taken to classify various forms of interorganizational relationships, with a focus on typologies and classifi cat...

“…Health care social work entered a protracted period of struggle, redefining and justifying its role as a core health profession (Black, 1984; Keigher, 1997). Some changes, such as decreased length of hospital stays opened new opportunities in community-based care (Poole & Van Hook, 1997). Prevention was again identified as a potential tool for expanding and rebranding social work’s role in the new health care environment (Bracht, 2000; Rosenberg & Holden, 1999; Silverman, 2008).…”

In light of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act’s goals of better patient care, cost control, and improved population outcomes, prevention is emerging as an important component of health reform. As a result, broad societal interest in prevention is growing, together with widespread interest in public health. The profession, with its extensive involvement in the health system and deep roots in public health, needs to know more about its relationship to prevention. This study builds upon the Social Work Interest in Prevention Study–which evaluated the extent, types, and levels of prevention content in nine social work journals over a six year time period from 2000–2005. The goal of the expanded study, the Social Work Interest in Prevention Study-Expansion (SWIPS-E), was to assess whether interest in prevention had increased over the full decade, which included the time period in which health care reform was enacted.
