- Description:
- This study examined the effects of case management treatment with African- American low income single mothers involved in Welfare Reform. The study assumed that women receiving case management interventions would have improved social adjustment and report higher levels of self-efficacy. The case management twelve core functions (direct services) were the independent variables. A pretest/posttest experimental group and control group design was used to gather data about the participant�s social adjustment and self-efficacy levels. The t-test and ANOVA were used to analyze the data. The researcher found that the experimental group, who received the case management intervention showed improvement in social adjustment and self-efficacy levels. The findings suggest that case management is a viable mode of treatment for this population. The changes in role functioning, and coping and problem-solving skills indicated the experimental group participants were moving towards independence from the Welfare System.
