The Role of Systematic Reviews in the EBP Process
Authors: Garcia Antonio R. , Corcoran Jacqueline 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Systematic reviews, along with meta-analyses, and variations of reviews, are the focus of Chapter 5. The most effective approach to gathering studies to answer a practice question involves systematic reviews, which offer a comprehensive synthesis of research on a specific question using transparent and replicable procedures. Meta-analysis, a statistical technique, is commonly used in systematic reviews. It combines results from multiple studies to provide an overall summary of empirical knowledge. As this chapter argues, reviews are emerging as an even more salient way to approach the EBP process than single randomized controlled trials while reducing the burden on individual, time-strapped practitioners to undergo this laborious search, read, and appraisal process themselves. Understanding and interpreting systematic reviews can be challenging, but a structured approach to reading and summarizing key elements (such as purpose, inclusion criteria, results, and critical appraisal) can help. By accessing systematic reviews, one can gain valuable insights into the current research status on a particular topic, and these reviews play a significant role in the evidence-based practice process.
Introduction to Implementation Science
Authors: Snyder Sean E. , Wolk Courtney Benjamin 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Chapter 7 focuses on information that may be more useful or applicable for social workers passionate about leading teams or directing organizations and creating the conditions necessary for clinicians, staff, and stakeholders to implement the evidence-based practice (EBP) process. Like social workers and other direct service providers, leaders need support to create optimal contexts necessary for implementation. To that end, this chapter offers an overview of implementation science frameworks, models, and strategies to implement the EBP process. Case examples are presented to illustrate the complexity of aligning the needs and strengths of clients with an optimal case plan that incorporates the best available evidence—and how important it is to optimize the inner and outer settings or contexts to implement the optimal case plan.
Adaptation
Authors: Garcia Antonio R. , Corcoran Jacqueline 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Chapter 9 focuses on adapting existing treatments, so they are relevant for clients, as well as real-world practice contexts. There is recognition in the EBP process that interventions studied under university conditions with study personnel for support, and with strict inclusion criteria for participation may not always be applicable to community settings; hence, the need for assessing any adaptations made by tracking progress and gathering data to understand the effects of adaptations. In this chapter, how to go about consulting the literature to gather information on how to fit the specific needs of the client and setting is illustrated.
Disgraced
Authors: Krivulskaya Suzanna 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Disgraced is a sweeping religious and cultural history of US Protestant sex scandals in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. From the birth of the modern press to the advent of the internet age, the book traces the public downfalls of religious leaders who purported to safeguard the morality of the nation. Along the way, Protestant ministers’ private transgressions journeyed from the privilege of silence to the spectacle of sensationalism. At first hesitant to report on sexual misconduct among the clergy in order to protect the reputation of Protestantism writ large, newspapers embraced the genre of pastoral scandal in the 1870s, when the biggest celebrity minister of the era stood trial for adultery. Scandal reporting escalated in the following decades, creating multiple publicity crises, the likes of which continue to plague churches to this day. As Protestant institutions struggled to protect their reputations in light of scandals’ revelations, they turned to secrecy and silencing—often foregoing opportunities for engaging in productive reckoning with the problem of sexual hypocrisy among their clergy. Sex scandals, it turns out, have not been mere aberrations in the history of modern Protestantism; they have, in fact, been constitutive of its development. Using the understudied intersection of scandal and religion, Disgraced explains how the persistence of stories about misbehaving Protestant ministers allowed the press to compete with the pulpit as a source of moral authority, forced denominations to confront the problems that scandal exposed, and emboldened sustained public scrutiny of religious piety.
Heroes and Cold War Relations
Authors: Titus Joan 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Chapter 5 (“Heroes and Cold War Relations”) provides an examination of Shostakovich’s first postwar biopics and first Cold War film: Pirogov (dir. Grigory Kozintsev, 1947), Michurin (dir. Aleksandr Dovzhenko, 1948), and Meeting at the Elbe (Vstrecha na El’be, dir. Grigory Aleksandrov, 1948). Providing discussions about and analyses of Shostakovich’s scores, this chapter focuses on the complexity of his musical characterizations of historical figures, war, and revisionism during the late 1940s when Resolutions targeted specific artists, including filmmakers and musicians. Analyses of these scores illuminate how Shostakovich created complex and musically diverse works that represented emerging Soviet Cold War narratives in filmmaking.
Ethical Challenges in Rural Child Welfare Practice
Authors: Cashwell Suzie T. , Moran Mariah 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Rural communities are often tight-knit with complex social networks. The nature of relationships in rural communities creates an environment with the potential for multiple ethical dilemmas in social work practice. This chapter introduces ethical challenges specific to rural practice with a focus on child welfare. Readers will learn to apply Congress’ five-step decision-making model, which facilitates ethical rural practice, to specific case studies. Rural ethical challenges include navigating boundary management and dual relationships, lack of anonymity, lack of resources and professional collaborations, and maintaining confidentiality. Child welfare practice is often complicated by these challenges. For example, a social worker’s vehicle is often easily recognizable to the community, which limits confidentiality and reduces anonymity. Thus, ethical decision-making is a critical skill for social workers in rural communities. The model includes a review of values, an application of the National Association of Social Workers’ Code of Ethics, hypothesizing consequences, identifying who benefits, and the importance of consultation. Case studies are presented that illustrate ethical concerns situated in rural context and utilize Congress’ five-step decision-making model in child welfare practice. Case studies demonstrate how ethical issues are intertwined and require complex negotiations. Although no one resolution can be applied across all situations, the process by which resolutions are reached is the focal point of this chapter. Furthermore, the information in this chapter provides a foundation for students and practitioners to build their own ethical rural practice.
Ingram in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico
Authors: Snow Dean 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Hawkins’s fleet left Africa on February 3, 1567–1568. African slaves in the cargo holds endured confinement for almost two months on the middle passage to the Caribbean. Ingram later described stops at Margarita, Borburata, Curaçao, La Hacha, Santa Marta, and Cartagena, along with observations of the botany and zoology of the region. Spanish colonists were resistant, but Hawkins overcame their reluctance to violate Spanish law using his usual alternately friendly and hostile techniques. The fleet headed for home but ran into a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico. Hawkins had no choice but to forcefully take shelter for repairs at San Juan de Ulua, where modern Veracruz stands. Unfortunately for Hawkins, the annual Spanish fleet from Seville arrived, and a furious battle erupted. Many Englishmen were killed or captured. All but two English ships were sunk, including the Jesus of Lübeck. Hawkins escaped in the Minion, overloaded with 200 men. After determining that only 100 could survive the return trip to England, Hawkins put 100 volunteers ashore. Ingram and his friends Browne and Twide were among them. Most were later killed or captured, but Ingram and his partners journeyed 3,600 miles in 11 months to be rescued in New Brunswick. This was Ingram’s long walk.
Betrayed by a Brother
Authors: Ghyoot Mathias 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This chapter presents a fresh reading of the period known as the March Crisis, from January 1954 to Gamāl ʿAbd al-Naṣīr’s assassination attempt on October 26, 1954, as told from behind the prison walls through the memoirs of the Brothers. For many of the leading members, the growing repression of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) was considered a betrayal on the part of the Free Officers, many of whom were believed to have been in an alliance with the MB on the eve of the July Revolution. I argue that the principal reasons for the dissolution of the MB in 1954 was (1) ʿAbd al-Nāṣir’s inability to co-opt the Brothers, and (2) the subsequent rise of a radical wing within the MB that, defying al-Huḍaybī, sought to take up armed resistance against the Revolutionary Command Council (RCC). As will become apparent, al-Huḍaybī was on a difficult path in attempting to guide the Brothers through a new political reality in Egypt.
The Virtuous City
Authors: Ghyoot Mathias 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This chapter begins by delineating the reform project of the Prison Service to overhaul the prison system in Egypt. Second, the chapter shows how the Brothers were able to build a society for themselves in prison, most notably in Camp Wāḥāt, and how they engaged in literary and recreational activities that mirrored the reforms of the Prison Service. Third, it argues that these prison activities were ultimately seen as a manifestation of an ideal religious society that, based on religious freedom, absence of labor, and lack of everyday responsibilities, also served as a subtle critique of ʿAbd al-Nāṣir’s secular Egypt. However, the autonomy enjoyed by the Brothers also became a concern for the Revolutionary Command Council, and the chapter concludes by showing how a struggle over forced labor at Ṭurra Penitentiary resulted in the death of more than 20 Brothers.
Pharaoh Strikes Again
Authors: Ghyoot Mathias 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This chapter details the beginnings of the Muslim Brotherhood’s (MB) third prison ordeal, in 1965. Beginning with the reasons for the crackdown, including the Kirdāsa Massacre, the chapter documents the brutal experiences of the Brothers, and some Sisters, inside the Military Prison. After discussing how the Brothers made sense of these experiences and castigated Gamāl ʿAbd al-Nāṣir, the chapter examines the mass trials of 1965 and 1966 that brought an end to the crackdown and marked the beginning of yet another ten-year ordeal in the prisons of Egypt. It argues that the prison memoirs of the Brothers strongly challenge the official narratives of ʿAbd al-Nāṣir’s regime about both the treatment of the imprisoned Brothers and the legal charges brought against the MB. This chapter not only shows that allegations leveled against the majority of the Brothers were baseless, but also demonstrates that the crackdown involved an unprecedented degree of violence committed, among other places, in the Military Prison.
Transparency and Open Science Practices in Research on Emerging Adulthood
Authors: Nguyen Phuong Linh L. , Syed Moin 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The replication crisis has become a major focus throughout the sciences, spurring discussions among researchers about the limits of the mainstream work produced in their fields. In response, there have been strong efforts toward developing solutions to address these limits, efforts that are broadly referred to as the open science movement. This chapter highlights three core issues related to open science that are particularly important for producing and consuming research on emerging adulthood: (1) the importance of understanding and reducing research degrees of freedom across the research cycle; (2) the underappreciated role of statistical power in quantitative studies, particularly when testing interaction effects; and (3) some of the unique challenges facing emerging adulthood researchers in adopting open science practices. Across the discussion, concrete steps are provided that researchers can take to promote the open science principles of transparency, credibility, reproducibility, and accessibility.
The Alphas and Omegas of Validity and Reliability
Authors: Sorgente Angela , Zumbo Bruno D. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The current chapter presents a non-technical description of the most important features of the current conceptualization of validity and reliability and the best practices to evaluate them. The chapter is organized into two sections. The first section introduces the contemporary view of validity, which stresses that validity is unified (the core of validity is construct validity, which can be argued for by collecting different kinds of evidence) and contextualized (validity always depends on the population, place, and time in which the test is applied). Implications in terms of validation practices are presented. The second section explains why the widely used coefficient alpha may be an inadequate index of reliability and suggests substituting it with coefficient omega. Guidelines in both sections of the chapter are demonstrated using the procedures adopted to develop and validate the Multidimensional Subjective Financial Well-being Scale in a sample of Italian emerging adults.
Thematic Analysis
Authors: Naudé Luzelle 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This chapter presents the theory and practice of thematic analysis as an accessible and flexible method for analyzing qualitative data in emerging adulthood research. As a family of approaches ranging on a continuum from systematically scientific to creatively artful, thematic analysis’ defining feature is a focus on the patterned meaning within data. The chapter begins with a conceptualization of thematic analysis, its position in the qualitative research community, and its value in emerging adulthood research. Frequently asked questions and misconceptions about the approach are addressed, with attention to epistemological positioning, theoretical assumptions, methodological integrity, researcher reflexivity, and qualitative sensibility. In the last section of the chapter, the process of reflexive thematic analysis is presented, according to Braun and Clarke’s contemporary six-phase approach to data engagement, coding, and theme development, with guidelines for good practice.
Mixed Methods Approaches to Emerging Adult Research
Authors: Turner Kit , Weststrate Nic M. , McLean Kate C. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The present chapter provides an overview of the mixed methods approaches used to conduct research with emerging adults. The discussion will define mixed methods approaches as those that meaningfully mix both quantitative and qualitative data together in order to fully understand the phenomena in question. The chapter will provide an overview of when and why a mixed methods approach may be most practical to use, and it will then provide descriptions of different mixed methods designs. Finally, the chapter will provide an illustrative case example of a mixed methods study using an exploratory sequential design on the socialization of LGBTQ+ emerging adults.
Longitudinal Mixed Methods in the Study of Young Adults
Authors: Klimstra Theo A. , Johnson Sara K. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Longitudinal data are necessary for the study of young adult development, but researchers face many options with respect to designs. This chapter focuses on longitudinal mixed methods designs, which refer to research that integrates qualitative and quantitative data analyses. The first section describes why researchers should consider mixed method designs. In the second section, we describe three broad approaches to mixed methods research designs and provide examples that have been, or could be, applied in longitudinal research on young adults. The third section presents some possibilities that we envision for creative application of mixed method designs. In the fourth section, we conclude the chapter with several challenges and opportunities relevant to longitudinal mixed methods research that focus on considerations for the use of these methods among early career scholars.
Sanctifying Suburbia
Authors: Miller Brian J. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This book explains how American evangelicals came to see the suburbs as a promised land, home to the evangelical good life. Within the sprawling American suburbs are millions of evangelical residents, thousands of evangelical congregations, and numerous evangelical organizations. Employing sociological and historical analysis, this book systematically assesses how evangelicals became intertwined with the suburbs, the implications of this for evangelical life and aspirations, and how evangelicals view and experience race and ethnicity, social class, and gender in regards to suburbia. Through anti-urban sentiments, an evangelical cultural toolkit that both limits engagement with places broadly and simultaneously has affinities with suburban life, white flight and racial exclusivity in metropolitan areas, the pursuit of a middle-class nuclear family life, seeking more conservative political climates, and clusters of evangelical organizations gathering in suburbs, evangelicals now call the suburbs home in large numbers. To fully understand American evangelicals requires examining their connections to and their adoption of the suburbs as the places best suited for their daily activities and societal goals.
Evangelicals, Suburbs, and the American Dream
Authors: Miller Brian J. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Chapter 1 defines evangelicals and suburbs, two phenomena that may be easy to recognize but have several important key traits in the American context. Four brief examples of the intersection of evangelicals and suburbs show the need for this study: influential suburban megachurches that emerged in the postwar era, critiques of suburban religious faith, cultural affinities between suburbs and American evangelical life, and voting patterns. The chapter discusses previous studies of evangelicals and suburbs and how this book offers a new approach, and how connecting the development and deployment of evangelical cultural toolkits is a necessary addition to two existing theories of settlement and development patterns: ecological explanations and growth machine theories. The toolkits approach allows for the agency of evangelicals to select locations and develop meaning-making processes within suburbia.
Evangelicals (and Other Protestant Groups) Leave Chicago for the Suburbs
Authors: Miller Brian J. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Chapter 3 uses congregational data from a region-wide directory of Chicago area churches to examine location patterns across multiple Protestant denominations during the twentieth century, including Evangelical Lutheran, Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, Episcopalian, Methodist, Disciples of Christ, Presbyterian, Christian Reformed Church, Reformed Church in America, and African Methodist Episcopal congregations. Looking specifically at the changes in the region between 1925 and 1988–1990, the analysis shows that mainline, Black, and conservative Protestant groups moved congregations to the suburbs for whiter areas and left behind Chicago neighborhoods with increasing Black populations. Congregational growth in DuPage County helps highlight the connections between changes in the suburban religious landscape and suburbanization. The patterns in the Chicago region illustrate how race and settlement patterns affected evangelicals across denominations moving to and starting congregations in suburbs.
Where Evangelicals and Other Religious Traditions Live, 1972–2016
Authors: Miller Brian J. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Chapter 7 examines the kinds of communities evangelicals and members of other religious traditions lived in between 1972 and 2016. In comparison to Americans as a whole, evangelicals were more likely to be in smaller suburbs, small towns, and rural areas. At the same time, the percentage of evangelicals living in rural areas declined over this period and the percentage of evangelicals living in suburbs and smaller big cities increased. Other religious traditions also changed locations over this time period: the locations of mainline Protestants largely mirrored evangelicals, Black Protestants and Jews were more likely to be in large cities and their suburbs, and almost all religious traditions experienced increases in adherents in the suburbs. These patterns suggest that it would be difficult to imagine evangelicals returning to big cities, even with some evangelicals doing so and calling for change among their religious tradition.
2016
Authors: Kastner Jill , Wohlforth William C. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This chapter provides the first analysis of Russia’s 2016 subversive operation that benefits from a comprehensive view of similar operations over 2,000 years. It shows exactly what was novel about 2016 by evaluating three core claims: that subversion assumed a newly salient role in Russian strategy; that the new information environment radically altered the cost–benefit calculations for hostile great power rivals; and that the United States has recently become an especially vulnerable target, again easing the path for subverters. The chapter examines each of these claims against the backdrop of centuries of great power subversion. In this light, the 2016 operation was not unprecedented.
Voodoo in Harlem
Authors: Osei Adjoa 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Elsie Houston was inspired by the Harlem Renaissance. Alongside her, other performers, such as the African American dancer Katherine Dunham and the Trinidadian dancer Beryl McBurnie, drew on primitivism as a means through which to express the distinction and modernity of black cultures. African-derived folk cultures, as well as US-imagined ideas about Haitian Voudou, became metaphors for black life in art by both black and white creatives. Elsie was enmeshed in a network of bohemian transnationals in New York. She performed at clubs, where she amped up the mystical element of her act by performing in darkened rooms illuminated with candelabras. Newspapers framed Elsie as a freakish novelty, and titillated readers’ imaginations with gothic-esque articles about Elsie the “voodoo songstress” and a primitive, black Brazil.
The Primitive Quality of the Modern
Authors: Osei Adjoa 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
In New York City, Elsie Houston engaged with the artistic fervor of the Harlem Renaissance by exploring music across the African diaspora. She performed African American spirituals, afrocubanismo songs inspired by Abakuá, and Brazilian songs taken from African-based religions such as Candomblé. Elsie’s repertoire celebrated the diverse scope of the modern black experience, and this was a way for her to reject racism. She appeared on stage alongside other artists from across the diaspora such as the Trinidadian dancer Beryl McBurnie and the drumming and dance act Haitian Rada Group. Elsie was also photographed by the Harlem Renaissance photographer Carl Van Vechten in 1940. However, as a lighter-skinned, mixed-race, upper-class Brazilian, Elsie was not consistently recognized as black in the United States, and for some African American critics, she breached the line between cultural celebration and cultural appropriation. Elsie’s conception of racism in Brazil vis-à-vis the United States is also explored.
