Black LGBT Health in the United States: At the Intersection of Race, Gender, and Sexual Orientation
Deadline: March 1, 2016
Although the social and legal environments for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals in the United States have changed rapidly in the last 20 years, these changes have not led to improved health outcomes for Black LGBT individuals. Yet, the empirical and theoretical literature on Black LGBT individuals is largely focused on the negative mental health of these communities (e.g., anxiety, depression, and psychological distress) and the public health disparities they face (i.e., HIV/AIDS, smoking tobacco cigarettes). There are still knowledge gaps about Black LGBT people's health-related cultural realities, strengths, protective factors, and indigenous meanings. Understanding how Black LGBT individuals understand their own health, overcome various biopsychosocial and spiritual barriers, and lead healthy lives can help researchers and providers develop interventions and strategies to promote the growth and development of Black LGBT individuals and their communities.

Special Issue of Journal of Social Work in End-of-Life and Palliative Care - Pain Issues in Palliative Care and End of Life: Expanding the Social Work RoleEXTENDED Deadline: March 30, 2016
Pain and/or the fear of pain is often experienced by patients receiving palliative care and those facing end of life. Failure to address the multidimensional sources of pain and related suffering can produce emotional and moral distress for both personal and professional care providers. Disparities continue in access to quality pain management, and too few providers feel well-prepared to care for those with complicated pain concerns. For this special thematic issue, manuscripts are encouraged that report on original research, including systematic literature reviews and meta-analyses, policy analysis, program evaluation, innovative educational programs, and evaluated community interventions. Manuscripts must specifically relate to palliative and/or end-of-life care topics in pain/symptom management for serious illness. Click here for more information.
