WELCOME

from the Dean

Welcome to the 2018-2019 Research Review for the University of Georgia School of Social Work! The School is committed to educating excellent social work practitioners, and we know in order to do this most effectively we need to generate new knowledge through research. Only with the most current and accurate information will our students be able to engage in effective practice. It is for this reason that I’m excited to share with you all of the impactful research we conduct here at UGA; through this work, the School champions a better quality of life and social justice for all.

In this Review, you’ll get a deeper picture of faculty findings that support people’s physical and mental health, fight poverty and promote a more secure future, and strengthen communities and families. You’ll learn about our work to drive innovation in social work education and practice, to promote quality in criminal justice systems, and to support caregivers of older adults. In addition, you’ll read about our Department of State funded efforts to eradicate human trafficking in Sub-Saharan Africa. Our commitment to finding answers to society’s toughest questions—family stress, mental illness, health disparities, oppression and injustice—drives our research. I hope you’ll be inspired by the work of our faculty and students, and that you’ll support us in our efforts. Contact me with your thoughts and ideas, and come to visit us when you are in Athens. I look forward to hearing from you!

David Okech and an international team tackle human trafficking with a collective impact approach

2018-2019 RESEARCH REVIEW

Human

Trafficking — which encompasses both sex trafficking and forced labor – is perhaps the most vile criminal enterprise of the 21st century. It also is a global concern, as there are some 24.9 million trafficking victims, with the ill-gotten proceeds reaching as high as $150 billion, according to the International Labour Organization. There are many people working around the world to stop human trafficking, among them David Okech, an associate professor in UGA’s School of Social Work, who is the founder and director of a team known as the African Programming and Research Initiative to End Slavery (APRIES).

The project – which also includes collaborators from Great Britain and Uganda – is a five-year, $4.03 million program funded by the State Department’s Office to Combat and Monitor Trafficking in Persons, to collect and analyze data on child trafficking in portions of Sierra Leone and Guinea and to fund interventions and reintegration programs for survivors. As summer turned to fall, Okech – whose UGA colleagues include faculty from the department of sociology in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Public Health, and the College of Family and Consumer Sciences – says the APRIES group will be collecting prevalence data among children ages 6 to 17 in Sierra Leone and Guinea who are victims of trafficking to establish baseline prevalence data and identify service and policy gaps.

“I would say we’ve just begun,” says Okech. “We are in talks with government, NGOs, and researchers in Guinea and Sierra Leone. This has got to be a collective impact approach where together we will make a contribution to policies and programming in this area. So far, so good, as we learn from each other about the nuances of trafficking in these countries and how to implement a robust methodology.” Okech, a native of Kenya who serves on Georgia’s Statewide Human Trafficking Task Force Research Section, assented that there are many challenges in the area of human trafficking research, not the least of which is a recurring language barrier. “One challenge is translating trafficking to other cultures, because there is not a word for trafficking in these cultures,” he says. “And most agencies have no resources, so we’re

working on increasing the capacity of local implementing partners and focusing on more sustainable approaches.” One area where Okech and his international team have not faced challenges is their willingness and ability to work together. “We have a strong team, and when we put the mechanics in place to be able to enlist many minds, we can respond to these challenges,” said Okech, whose colleagues on the project include APRIES Associate Directors Jody Clay-Warner, a Meigs professor of sociology at UGA, and Alex Balch, a professor of politics at the University of Liverpool, and researchers in West Africa. “(The team) has had weekly, one-hour conferences over the past year. Alex Balch was here in April 2018; I was in Liverpool in October

2018, and we all went to Uganda, where our research partner ResilientAfrica Network is located, in September 2019. We are in constant communication. It has worked very well because of the communication and cooperation.” Tamora Callands, an assistant professor of health promotion and behavior in UGA’s College of Public Health, is the training and evaluation coordinator for APRIES, says the group is well-versed in research in unusual locales. “The interesting thing is all of us on the team have had some international experience,” she says. “Most of the work I’ve done has been in Liberia and Sierra Leone, so I’m familiar with various aspects of those countries – they have very similar war histories, so a lot of what I’ve gathered from being part of the Sierra Leone

team when I was working in Liberia is bi-directional or cross-learning. That part has been amazing. “It’s been one of those experiences because there are so many of us, we’re able to chime in with what our expectations are, given the context.” Callands also called Okech “the glue” that holds the team and the project together. “David came to us (talking about) a perfect team and a perfect situation, so we should all do this together,” she says. “So David is the one who brought us together, and once we came together he’s been able to help facilitate things. He knew about Alex, and Alex was able to bring in people he knew. It has all come together very nicely.” by Chris Starrs

KRISTINA JASKYTE BAHR,

an associate professor at UGA’s School of Social Work and Institute for Nonprofit Organizations, has focused her research on creativity and innovation in nonprofit organizations. “All my research projects have been driven by my own personal curiosity,” says Jaskyte Bahr, who in the fall will begin her 18th year at UGA. “It’s not something I have to do – it’s something I want to do just because I’m curious.” Jaskyte Bahr’s work – and her passions – have not gone unnoticed, as she’s one of just a few social work professors to receive a grant from the National Science Foundation to study innovations in nonprofit organizations, and she also earned a research grant from the American Society of Association Executives to explore the role of nonprofits’ boards of directors in facilitating innovation. Last September, Jaskyte Bahr was one of a dozen UGA faculty members to participate in a yearlong program developed by the Office of Service-Learning. Her project was devising a new service-learning course, called Design Thinking for Social Innovation, funded by a

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK | SSW.UGA.EDU

Venture Well grant that she’s co-teaching in concert with John Weatherford of UGA’s New Media Institute. Her interest in design thinking has led her to Stanford University’s renowned d.school, “a hub for innovation, collaboration, and creativity” in problem solving. She’s had two d.school experiences, most recently in the summer of 2019. “That’s the perfect place for anyone who is interested in the design thinking method to go and be trained in it,” says Jaskyte Bahr. “Having the luxury of spending two full weeks immersed in doing it was an unbelievable experience…It helped me to grow as a design thinker and practitioner because I do a lot of pro bono and other work in the field for nonprofits. It ended up being a perfect combination of all these experiences coming together to provide maximum benefit.” While much of her work has revolved around nonprofit organizations, one of Jaskyte Bahr’s latest projects is studying B Corporations, certified for-profit companies that have a constructive impact on employees, communities and the environment – something she says is a “40-degree turn from where I’m going.”

“This qualitative project includes interviews, and I ask (B Corporation founders and executives) their motivation about becoming a B Corporation, about how that certification process was for them and what happened after that,” said Jaskyte Bahr. Jaskyte Bahr also remains focused on design thinking by working in collaboration with Jeanne Liedtka, who teaches strategy, ethics, and entrepreneurship at the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business, whom she met at an Academy of Management meeting. Jaskyte Bahr and Liedtka’s project zeroes in on developing a new instrument to capture the effectiveness of the design thinking process. She also serves on the Terry College of Business entrepreneurship advisory board and on the advisory council for the State of Hope, a statewide initiative by the Department of Family and Children Services for family-safe local communities. It is with the State of Hope, Jaskyte Bahr says, that she’s seen some remarkable examples of innovation and creativity. “In my experience, it’s the most ambitious effort to use innovation to transform child welfare at the state level,” she says. “I’ve seen organizations use innovating programming but this was a massive undertaking. It is by far one of the most innovative things I’ve ever been part of.”

t some point in our lives, most of us will experience caregiving, whether we provide assistance or receive it. Studies suggest that there are more than 40 million unpaid family caregivers in the United States, many of whom spend 20 or more hours a week caring for an older adult family member.

into the concept of respite care, leading an extensive research project on the short-term breaks that caregivers are afforded.

While the family member requiring care is clearly the most critical part of the equation, there’s little argument that caregivers also need relief in the form of respite, which gives them much-needed time away from the task at hand.

“The consequences of caregiving can be positive and negative. The negative consequences can be the emotional toll, the stress, the depression. Caregivers can also be affected physically…There are positive aspects of caregiving, too, which we don’t talk about enough. We tend to focus on what’s negative about it. But there are positives.”

Tiffany Washington, an associate professor in UGA’s School of Social Work, is digging deep

“Caregiving touches everyone, directly or indirectly,” says Washington. “It should be something that all of us care about. If you think about it from a public health standpoint, it affects many people.

“Respite is any service that gives caregivers an opportunity to take a break.”

Washington, who was trained in health social work, is focusing on respite care in a research project funded by the Health Foundation of Central and Western New York. She and her cohorts are utilizing phone interviews and then focus groups with dozens of caregivers in a 16-county area to identify the amount and type of respite care needed to provide a positive (and measurable) impact on caregivers, and what factors – including financial, community and familial factors – have an influence on access to respite care. “Respite is any service that gives caregivers an opportunity to take a break,” says Washington, who received her PhD in social work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and joined the UGA faculty in 2013. “It’s all about taking a break from that role. We don’t have enough respite services to go around. It’s so limited – there are few community resources, or maybe they’re inaccessible because they’re expensive or have long waiting lists. So for those who can access respite, there’s still a need to understand what motivates caregivers to use respite. What does that look like? How much respite really matters?” Washington’s research project – called Building Evidence for Respite – began in August 2018 and she expects to complete the project in the spring of 2020 at the latest.

The North Carolina native praised the graduate assistants toiling with her on the project and pointed out that she’s working with two consultants, Sheryl Zimmerman, PhD, from UNC’s School of Social Work (whom Washington referred to as her mentor) and Thomas Caprio, M.D., from the University of Rochester Medical Center. “I have a wonderful team of research assistants,” she says. “Part of what makes me so

happy in my role as a researcher is the opportunity to train graduate students, and the graduate students working with me are so smart and come with a variety of experience. They are so invested in this project. They’re learning and I’m learning. I want them to have the opportunity to have input. I want to make sure they feel they’re playing a role in this work.” There are many miles between Athens, Georgia, and Central and Western New York, and Washington assents that closing the distance often isn’t easy. “Distance can be a challenge, but I have had some wonderful partners in New York who have been helping me with recruitment and have been working to make sure we can reach people,” she says, pointing out the assistance

she’s received from the New York State Caregiving and Respite Coalition and the New York State Office for the Aging. “They’ve been helping us get the word out, for sure. Our partners have been very helpful and our students have been calling around to some more partner agencies in New York to get the word out and do more recruitment.” In addition to her research, Washington teaches a First-Year Odyssey class, at which students receive doses of the wit and wisdom of the long-running network comedy “The Golden Girls.”

aging in place or healthy aging is promoted? Is it conducive to healthy aging? “The title of the course is “Aging in Athens,” but our social media hashtag is #Thankyouforbeingafriend, the theme song from The Golden Girls. I use The Golden Girls’ series as a framework for daily discussion because it was well ahead of its time, in my opinion, as every episode touched on a social issue that affects older adults, including caregiving. That’s a class we have a lot of fun in.” by Chris Starrs

Orion Mowbray assesses two alternative criminal justice system programs

Orion Mowbray, director of research and an associate professor in UGA’s School of Social Work, is working on a pair of research projects that could go a long way in addressing how to close the revolving door that many people in Georgia with mental health and substanceabuse problems encounter in the criminal justice system. The first project covers evaluating Day Reporting Centers for their effectiveness through an internal program assessment instrument, and the second study looks at Family Treatment Drug Courts in Georgia. “It’s been very rewarding,” says Mowbray, who joined the School of Social Work faculty in 2013, of the research projects. “The answers

are not clear, the challenges are massive, and the solutions are hard to come by, but not for a lack of motivated people to do something about it.” Day Reporting Centers, which provide a more intensive form of supervision for probationers and parolees, offer opportunities for persons with mental health and substance use problems to change criminal thinking and behavior through a combination of counseling, educational programming and close supervision. There are more than three dozen Day Reporting Centers in the state. Mowbray says the idea behind Day Reporting Centers – which have been in existence in Georgia since 2005 – is that participants who

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK | SSW.UGA.EDU

are exposed to more rigorous direction have a better chance of not returning to the criminal justice system. The Georgia General Assembly has decreed that Day Reporting Centers must be evaluated every five years. Over the last 18 months, Mowbray has partnered with the state’s Department of Community Supervision on the project, and has utilized the assessment instrument they developed in visits to each Day Reporting Center in the state. Although the project – which has been funded by the Department of Community Supervision -- isn’t scheduled to be completed until early fall, some of the preliminary findings have proven beneficial.

“We finished the assessment and we were able to demonstrate that Day Reporting Centers which scored higher in our assessment had better outcomes,” says Mowbray. “Participants at high-scoring centers had fewer new felony charges, fewer positive drug tests, and fewer probation revocations.” The second project covers individuals taking part in an accountability program available through the state’s Family Treatment Drug Courts, enabling caregivers to regain custody of their children in a more timely manner. Not every judicial circuit has a drug court program and Mowbray says that before these courts can expand throughout Georgia, the state needs data on the court’s best practices and what resources are required for further development.

but he very much enjoys the research projects he’s involved in. “I love it,” he says. “I have a little bit of background in criminology and academic-based criminal theory, but it wasn’t until I started doing this work that I actually got to meet a large number of people providing mental health and substance use services in the criminal justice system. And I found them all to be wonderful people who care deeply about not only improving the criminal justice system, but also trying to work in a system that was not designed to provide care to people with mental health and substance abuse problems.” by Chris Starrs

“We’re now looking at what successes and difficulties they have, as well as what the general outcomes are of people in the court so we can use this knowledge to expand the capacity of family treatment courts,” says Mowbray of the three-year project, which is funded by the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Association. Mowbray, who earned his PhD in social work and social psychology from the University of Michigan, says his work “shifted” from the study of mental health and substance use problems in the general population to studying the same problems in the criminal justice system,

“My research focuses on the mental health, illness, and wellness of individuals from marginalized and/or underserved groups, particularly Black/African Americans. My goal is to push the field forward by recognizing and exploring the heterogeneity of Black/African American health experiences. By examining these nuances, I hope to inform and design more culturally appropriate/ responsive interventions aimed at improving mental health and wellness as well as preventing mental (di)stress and illness.”

“I teach social welfare, policy analysis, and research methods courses in the School of Social Work at the University of Georgia. My main area of teaching and research interest is the design and implementation of U.S. immigration and refugee policy. I am particularly focused on the intersection between the formulation of public policies at all levels of government, federal, state, and local, and the applied practice of social work.”

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR

“My current interdisciplinary and international research aims to create evidence-informed policies and programs for survivors of human trafficking in several West African countries. As a director and member of the African Programming and Research Initiative to End Slavery (APRIES), we are analyzing data from survivors, key informants, as well as three waves of survey with female survivors of trafficking who received post-trafficking intervention. We are designing a sound methodology to collect baseline prevalence data that can guide program implementation.”
