The involved ization, most available child demanding less welfare in in child worker the human field welfare and comfort, has difficult services. show long more more been vocational Social role depersonalamong ambiguworkers paths the most demanding and difficult vocational paths available in the human services. Social workers involved in child welfare show more depersonalzation, less worker comfort, ore r le mbiguity and conflict, and more value conflict than workers in family services agencies or community mental health settings (Jayaratne & Chess, 1984; Laird, 1985). Inadequate pay, difficult working conditions, lack of recognition, chronic stress, overwork, and other negative job characteristics have led to a continuing crisis in child welfare worker retention. Some authors (for example, Lee, 1979) have described burnout in child welfare as an inevitable occurrence that can only be postponed. Other authors have cited two-year turnover rates ranging from 46 percent to 90 percent (Harrison, 1980; Jayaratne & Chess, 1984; Jayaratne, Himle, & Chess, 1991; Shannon & Saleebey, 1980). This crisis is particularly serious given the complexity and breadth of skills required for effective child welfare practice. An adequate command of needed skills and competencies may take many months or years to develop (Lee, 1979), and the swift turnover in agencies means a relative lack of skills and competencies in a large percentage of the child welfare workforce. The rapid and continuing loss of experienced and committed child welfare workers must be reduced to ensure a workforce with the skills to perform extremely difficult and critical functions. In addition to its effects on turnover, burnout impairs practice by contributing to lower levels of commitment and impaired decision making (McGee, 1989).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) between 1968 and 1972 to test for the following: a) the effect of assets on attitudes and behaviors; b) the effects of attitudes and behaviours on assets; c) the impact of income on attitudes, and d) the influence of attitudes, behaviors, and attitudes on income.
Abstract: Raising asset limits and creating individual development accounts have been proposed in welfare reform. In part the rationale for these proposals is that assets have positive effects on attitudes and behaviors, including long-term planning, greater work effort, and improved social connectedness. The Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), between 1968 and 1972, included a wide range of attitude and behavioral measures. In this study, data from the PSID are analyzed to test for the following: a) the effect of assets on attitudes and behaviors; b) the effect of attitudes and behaviors on assets; c) the effect of income on attitudes and behaviors; and d) the effect of attitudes and behaviors on income. A path analytic model is estimated using LISREL. Results indicate modest effects of some assets that are (a) consistently positive as predicted, and (b) overall as strong as the effects of income. Results support the proposition that assets have a positive effect on expectations and confidence about the future; influence people to make specific plans with regard to work and family; induce more prudent and protective personal behaviors; and lead to more social connectedness with relatives, neighbors, and organizations. These results suggest that policy demonstrations are

TL;DR: This article investigated whether income inequality affects subsequent growth in a cross-country sample for 1965-90, using the models of Barro (1997), Bleaney and Nishiyama (2002) and Sachs and Warner (1997) with negative results.
Abstract: We investigate whether income inequality affects subsequent growth in a cross-country sample for 1965-90, using the models of Barro (1997), Bleaney and Nishiyama (2002) and Sachs and Warner (1997), with negative results. We then investigate the evolution of income inequality over the same period and its correlation with growth. The dominating feature is inequality convergence across countries. This convergence has been significantly faster amongst developed countries. Growth does not appear to influence the evolution of inequality over time. Outline

TL;DR: Qualitative research in such mobile health clinics has found that patients value the informal, familiar environment in a convenient location, with staff who “are easy to talk to,” and that the staff’s “marriage of professional and personal discourses” provides patients the space to disclose information themselves.
Abstract: www.mobilehealthmap.org 617‐442‐3200 New research shows that mobile health clinics improve health outcomes for hard to reach populations in cost‐effective and culturally competent ways . A Harvard Medical School study determined that for every dollar invested in a mobile health clinic, the US healthcare system saves $30 on average. Mobile health clinics, which offer a range of services from preventive screenings to asthma treatment, leverage their mobility to treat people in the convenience of their own communities. For example, a mobile health clinic in Baltimore, MD, has documented savings of $3,500 per child seen due to reduced asthma‐related hospitalizations. The estimated 2,000 mobile health clinics across the country are providing similarly cost‐effective access to healthcare for a wide range of populations. Many successful mobile health clinics cite their ability to foster trusting relationships. Qualitative research in such mobile health clinics has found that patients value the informal, familiar environment in a convenient location, with staff who “are easy to talk to,” and that the staff’s “marriage of professional and personal discourses” provides patients the space to disclose information themselves. A communications academic argued that mobile health clinics’ unique use of space is important in facilitating these relationships. Mobile health clinics park in the heart of the community in familiar spaces, like shopping centers or bus stations, which lend themselves to the local community atmosphere.
