11. Sizzle and Fizzle of Bath Bombs: An Inexpensive and Accessible Kinetics Experiment

Author

Cabassa, Meaghan and Haas, Beth L.

Abstract

Cosmetic chemistry is a prevalent part of everyday life, but there are very few undergraduate laboratories that explore this topic. Here, we present a laboratory exercise in which students use fizzing bath tablets (better known as "bath bombs") to learn about introductory kinetics. Students created their own bath bombs by combining citric acid, baking soda, and Epsom salts and reacted them at a range of temperatures. Students observed a trend consistent with the Arrhenius equation and collision theory: the reaction time decreased as the temperature of the water increased. This experiment is ideal for first year undergraduate chemistry courses and was met with excitement and enthusiasm from the students who tested it. The experiment uses readily available and inexpensive ingredients, making it very accessible and an attractive demonstration for outreach events.

30. Implementation Science: Why It Matters for the Future of Social Work

Author

Cabassa, Leopoldo J.

Abstract

Bridging the gap between research and practice is a critical frontier for the future of social work. Integrating implementation science into social work can advance our profession's effort to bring research and practice closer together. Implementation science examines the factors, processes, and strategies that influence the uptake, use, and sustainability of empirically supported interventions, practice innovations, and social policies in routine practice settings. The aims of this article are to describe the key characteristics of implementation science, illustrate how implementation science matters to social work by describing several contributions this field can make to reducing racial and ethnic disparities in mental health care, and outline a training agenda to help integrate implementation science in graduate-level social work programs.

37. A Systematic Review of Depression Treatments in Primary Care for Latino Adults

Author

Cabassa, Leopoldo J. and Hansen, Marissa C.

Abstract

Objective: A systematic literature review of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) assessing depression treatments in primary care for Latinos is conducted. The authors rate the methodological quality of studies, examine cultural and linguistic adaptations, summarize clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness findings, and draw conclusions for improving depression care among this diverse population. Method: Electronic bibliographic databases, Web sites, and manual searches are used to identify nine peer-reviewed articles covering four RCTs. Results: Across trials, collaborative care models were more effective than usual care in reducing depression and improving functioning and accessibility to guideline-congruent care. Conclusion: The use of evidence-based treatments in primary care seems to be an effective and cost-effective strategy to reduce mental health care disparities among Latinos served in primary care.

38. Latino Immigrant Men's Perceptions of Depression and Attitudes toward Help Seeking

Author

Cabassa, Leopoldo J.

Abstract

Perceptions of depression, attitudes toward depression treatments, help-seeking preferences, and perceived barriers to care were examined in a sample of 56 Latino immigrant men recruited from a primary health care clinic. Each participant was presented a vignette depicting an individual with major depression. Men described the vignette as a debilitating condition caused by social stressors that would improve with time. Men preferred counseling over medications and reported misconceptions about antidepressants. Faith in God and seeking help from family members were seen as important help-seeking strategies. Structural and financial barriers were prevalent among this sample of men. Implications for improving depression care for Latino immigrant men are discussed. (Contains 3 tables.)

39. Capacity-to-Consent in Psychiatric Research: Development and Preliminary Testing of a Screening Tool

Author

Zayas, Luis H., Cabassa, Leopoldo J., and Perez, M. Carmela

Abstract

Objective: Assuring research participants' capacity to provide informed consent has become increasingly important in health and mental health research, and each study faces unique capacity-assessment challenges, possibly requiring its own screening tool. This article describes the development and preliminary testing of a capacity-to-consent tool constructed for a study of psychiatric diagnosing in a community clinic. Method: A 10-item screening device based on four legal standards for demonstrating capacity (understanding, appreciation, reasoning, and voluntarism) was created and tested with 68 adult patients entering the study. Results: Only five participants (7%) failed the screen, 61 (93%) passed. No participants who passed at entry were later found in psychiatric evaluations to lack capacity. Conclusion: The tool was effective in identifying persons who could not demonstrate consent capacity, thereby protecting prospective participants. (Contains 1 table.)

41. Measuring Acculturation: Where We Are and Where We Need To Go.

Author

Cabassa, Leopoldo J.

Abstract

Examines prominent theoretical models and assumptions about contextual factors that drive acculturation measures, which are used widely in educational research with Hispanics and other minorities. Uses Hispanic acculturation measures, particularly the Bidimensional Acculturation Scale for Hispanics and the Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans, Revised, to illustrate the application of theoretical foundations in unidimensional and bidimensional (bicultural) empirical measures. Presents recommendations for improving these measures. (Contains 33 references.) (SV)
