VRP & CBI Recidivism Reduction: 2021-22 (3012) Engaged Research None [] Spring 2021-22 None 0 0 0 0 0 0 NBOP/DPS propose to create a violence-reduction (VRP) aftercare program and CBI groups which maintain an open group structure to effectively reduce the recidivism rate of high-risk parole clients, particularly those who have been identified as likely to reoffend violently as well as those who have failed on community supervision previously. This project will result in the development and implementation of VRP Aftercare and CBI Open Groups; deliverables for this project will include a complete program curriculum and structure documentation for each program, action plan for implementation, and both a midterm and final report assessing the effectiveness of both groups. Funding will be expended on the following program design elements: creation of curriculum and group materials, documents related to group implementation to allow for creation of a standardized model, training of staff (clinicians across Nebraska), and formal evaluation of both groups using propensity-score matching or other appropriate quasi-experimental methodology. Mandatory program components for this project include the creation of each group as well as the evaluation which will produce both formative and summative program assessments. These groups are intended to serve approximately 50 clients through the VRP Aftercare and approximately 150-200 clients in the CBI Open Groups over the duration of the grant period (in the 30-month implementation phase). Baseline recidivism data indicate that 50.0% of parole clients who completed the evidence-based VRP program while in a Nebraska prison facility will return to prison on a parole revocation due to new laws violations or technical violations. With respect to the full parole population, 27.1% have been identified as recidivating; recidivism is defined here as revocation of parole due to new law or technical violations or readmission to a Nebraska prison facility. Currently, NBOP/DPS utilize the Ohio Risk Assessment System (ORAS) to identify risk and needs for clients on community supervision; this tool will be employed to target the highest-risk parole violators for CBI Open Groups. In conjunction with this risk assessment tool, NBOP/DPS will utilize the decision-making guidelines to identify participants who have completed the facility-based VRP program for VRP Aftercare groups.

uncertainties, confusion and isolation associated with
dementia for both patient and caregiver, while simultaneously
offering glimpses into the healing aspects of
art. Mark’s art and related research have contributed
to both medical and art education.

as she lay dying in hospital of an Alzheimer’s related
illness. The drawings turn what was a private experience

Put it in your Toolbox”: How Vocational Reentry Programs Support Formerly Incarcerated Persons through Desistance: (Spring 2022): 2021-22 (2954) Economic Impact Nebraska Crime Commission Nebraska Center for Justice Research, Criminology and Criminal Justice Engaged Research None [] Spring 2021-22 None 0 0 0 0 0 0 This study utilized life story interviews with 21 formerly incarcerated individuals to examine the role vocational reentry programming played in the desistance process. A thematic analysis revealed that programming assisted individuals who were either open to lifestyle changes or committed to pro-social lifestyle improvements prior to beginning programming. Findings also revealed participants committed to desistance isolated themselves from anti-social peers, found social support through the programs, overcame employment barriers through programming, and held resilient and optimistic attitudes in changing their identities and behavioral trajectories. We conclude with a discussion on how the findings can inform desistance theory and reentry policy.

The impact of Covid 19 on seniors’ mental health: 2021-22 (2918) Engaged Research None [] Spring 2021-22 None 0 0 0 0 0 0 South Cowichan Seniors (SCS) is comprised of a group dedicated volunteers committed to improving the lives of seniors in the South Cowichan area. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the SCS program provided the elderly with social support and an opportunity to build meaningful relationships. A healthy luncheon was provided by SCS in the Cobble Hill Hall on the second and fourth Mondays of each month to approximately 200 participants from 20 staff. Subsequent to the pandemic social gatherings were restricted, the SCS group provides meals via a takeout service. COVID-19 has decreased the number of meaningful interactions seniors are able to participate in, reduced social interactions as participants are no longer able to dine together. An understanding of the social networks of seniors, stress throughout the pandemic and social isolation all warrant attention and action. It is therefore important to understand this populations needs, effects of COVID-19 on seniors’ mental health as well as innovative ways to increase social connectedness. A quantitative survey of seniors participating in the luncheon program will be conducted to garner an understanding of the impact of the luncheon program on stress during the pandemic as well as senior’s mental health and wellness throughout the pandemic.

Statistical Assessment of Flight Risk Assessment Tool in General Aviation: (Spring 2022): 2021-22 (2912) Educational Support Federal Aviation Administration Safer Skies Aviation Institute Engaged Research None [] Spring 2021-22 None 0 0 0 0 0 0 The Flight Risk Assessment Tools (FRATs) was developed and recommended by the FAA to provide a solution of proactive hazard identification. Operators are expected to decide whether to use the FRAT as published by the FAA or modify it as needed. Currently, most SMS compliant GA operators implemented FRATs of various versions for their own operations. However, the modified FRATs could be inappropriate because the operational features of GA could be very different with different operational purposes. The purpose of this study is to provide an insight into potential approaches to validate the modified FRAT that is used for safety risk assessment in GA operations.

Bilingual investment models of Dual Language Immersion Program Alumni: (Spring 2022): 2021-22 (2910) Educational Support Omaha Public Schools Teacher Education Engaged Research None [] Spring 2021-22 None 0 0 0 0 0 0 The article explores bilingual investments of dual-language immersion program alumni through an intersectional narrative analysis. Focusing on the experiences of bilingualism of six alumni, we investigate how they continue to be invested in bilingualism, the factors that shape their self-positionings as bilinguals, and the extent to which race is implicated in their experiences as bilingual speakers of Spanish and English. The analysis revealed that investment is not always agentive and is obligatory, and habitual – less conscious linguistic behavior. While individual efforts sustain bilingual investment, biculturalism requires a collective practice. Bilingual experiences are racialized, and raciolinguistic ideologies at home school, and society at large shape alumni’s bilingual investments. Across all findings, we discuss individual and collective similarities and differences among Hispanic/Latinx and White alumni. The article ends with implications for future research and practical recommendations for designing equitable bilingual programs.
I Will Get a Reward, Too: 2021-22 (2909) Engaged Research None [] Spring 2021-22 None 0 0 0 0 0 0 Incentivized customer referral programs (e.g., “Refer a friend, reward yourself!”) are prevalent, yet they usually have low referring rates. We propose a psychological barrier: existing customers (referrers) view incentivized referring as an exchange activity, which feels incompatible with their communal relationship with friends (referees). In eight studies (N = 2,111; four preregistered, two in the field), we propose and find that disclosing the referrer-reward in the invitation message—a not yet widely adopted practice—can promote referring by making the<br>referring action seem more compatible with communal norms. Specifically, disclosure conveys the referrer’s honesty and highlights the social, collaborative aspect of the referral opportunity, both of which are desirable in communal interactions. We further identify four theoretically and practically relevant boundary conditions: (1) the referrer-referee relationship (communal or exchange), (2) the framing of the referral opportunity (whether it is already framed as a communal activity or not), (3) the relative reward amount (whether the referrer-reward is higher than, the same as, or lower than the referee-reward), and (4) the stated source of the referrer-reward (the company or the referee’s spending). We conclude by discussing the theoretical and practical implications.<br><br>
Do Degrees Matter?: (Spring 2022): 2021-22 (2908) Economic Impact Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services Social Work Engaged Research None [] Spring 2021-22 None 0 0 0 0 0 0 Without question, there is a serious workforce problem within the general child and adult behavioral health care industry. When adding intellectual disabilities as a co-occurring disorder with mental illness, the qualified workforce inadequacies become even more severe. To complicate matters, the lack of validated or accommodated EBTs. for this population of mentally ill and intellectually challenged persons is virtually non-existent. Consistent with the conceptual strategy of task shifting and training within the context of usual care, this project provided specialized training to a wide variety of both professional and paraprofessional persons within the behavioral health, child welfare, and correctional industries. Results indicated that all participants improved their basic knowledge of this comorbid population, demonstrated a better understanding of EBTs, and exhibited a willingness to employ EBT approaches in their management and treatment strategies.<br>
Start where the social worker is: Perceptions of clinical licensure in Nebraska:(Spring 2022): 2021-22 (2907) Health and Wellness Omni Inventive Care (Formerly Omni Behavioral Health) Social Work Engaged Research None [] Spring 2021-22 None 0 0 0 0 0 0 The published research on social workers’ perception of clinical licensure is sparse, with most available research exploring licensure from the perspective of social work faculty, students, or field education supervisors. This exploratory survey research seeks to contribute to the limited information available by evaluating the perceptions of clinical licensure from social workers (N = 519) and comparing social workers’ perceptions to other mental health professionals (OMHP) (N = 624). The results indicate agreement between respondents that licensure is important and that universities value licensing. Most consider that universities should be evaluated based on whether students pass licensing exams and that faculty should be licensed. Many social workers report confusion about licensing and feel ill-prepared to take a licensing exam. There are significant differences between social workers and OMHP in several areas. Additionally, differences are distinct between White and non-White social workers’ perception of universities’ ability to prepare them for licensing exams.

An examination of five service areas in a child advocacy center: (Spring 2022): 2021-22 (2905) Social Justice Project harmony Criminology and Criminal Justice Engaged Research None [] Spring 2021-22 None 0 0 0 0 0 0 Despite the widespread support for a coordinated response to child maltreatment, little empirical research examines the ongoing successes and barriers faced by Child Advocacy Centers (CACs). The current study examines perspectives on program operations within a large CAC in the Nebraska across 14 focus groups, including both internal CAC staff (<i>N</i>=32) and external agency partners (<i>N</i>=37). Participants were representative of five service areas: advocacy, medical, mental health, forensic interviewing, and multidisciplinary teams. Universal successes and barriers were identified across all service areas. Still, the findings indicate a need to also consider the unique factors affecting each service area. The importance of these findings is discussed for those working in arenas that provide services to youth and families exposed to trauma.
