The Value of Coordinated Services with Court-Referred Clients and Their Families: An Outcome Study http://works.bepress.com/kenneth_coll/59 http://works.bepress.com/kenneth_coll/59 Fri, 15 Jul 2011 08:56:34 PDT This study assessed the effectiveness of building partnerships with community resources and systems for court-referred clients and their families through a participant outcome evaluation. Specific variables studied included change in substance abuse patterns, family well-being, child safety, and recidivism. Results from pre-post testing revealed that a model with a single case coordinator who collaborated across service providers was particularly effective with court-referred clients and their families for increasing family intimacy and child well-being and for decreasing family danger and conflict. Discussion and recommendations are included.

An Exploratory Study of Psychosocial Risk Behaviors of Adolescents Who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing: Comparisons and Recommendations http://works.bepress.com/kenneth_coll/57 http://works.bepress.com/kenneth_coll/57 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 08:58:42 PDT The study compared psychosocial risk behaviors of adolescents who were deaf or hard of hearing with those of their hearing peers in a residential treatment facility.

College Student Retention: Instrument Validation and Value for Partnering Between Academic and Counseling Services http://works.bepress.com/kenneth_coll/56 http://works.bepress.com/kenneth_coll/56 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 08:58:40 PDT Designed to explore the utility of a retention assessment of students within a college of education, and using Pascarella and Terenzini's (1983) academic and social integration scales, this study found several pertinent results: (a) Factor analyses of the scales support earlier validation studies with first-year college students, and (b) The scales differentiate academic integration, social integration, and career decidedness between students who have been identified as at-risk (i.e., on probation, previously on academic suspension) and those who have not been so identified. The utility of these scales for use in partnered programming between university counseling services and faculty is also considered.

Results indicated significant differences in conduct-disordered behaviors between youths with less familial engagement compared with youths with more family engagement. Resulting implications for counselors are included.

Bivariate correlation revealed a significant association between family cohesion and adaptability and psychosocial stages of trust and intimacy. Regression analyses revealed that family cohesion predicted trust, and that trust is significantly influential in the formation of intimacy. Discussion and treatment implications are included.

Reducing Heavy Drinking Among First Year Intercollegiate Athletes: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Web-Based Normative Feedback http://works.bepress.com/kenneth_coll/52 http://works.bepress.com/kenneth_coll/52 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 09:26:35 PDT This study evaluated the efficacy of a web-based personalized normative feedback program targeting heavy drinking in first year intercollegiate athletes. The program was offered through the Athletic Department first year seminar at a NCAA Division I university. Athletes were randomly assigned to either a web-based feedback group or a comparison condition. Results indicated high-risk athletes receiving the intervention reported significantly greater reductions in heavy drinking than those in the comparison group. Additionally, intervention effects were mediated by changes in perceptions of peer drinking. Findings support the use of web-based normative feedback for reducing heavy drinking in first year intercollegiate athletes.
