“…In several cross-sectional studies of low-income mothers working or on welfare, selfefficacy was positively correlated with employment (Jackson 2000;Jackson and Scheines 2005). In a study of current welfare recipients, higher levels of self-efficacy were linked to positive employment gains 4-months later (Lee and Vinokur 2007).…”

The Interactive Systems Framework (ISF) for Dissemination and Implementation (Wandersman et al. 2008) elaborates the functions and structures that move evidence-based programs (EBPs) from research to practice. Inherent in that process is the tension between implementing programs with fidelity and the need to tailor programs to fit the target population. We propose Planned Adaptation as one approach to resolve this tension, with the goal of guiding practitioners in adapting EBPs so that they maintain core components of program theory while taking into account the needs of particular populations. Planned Adaptation is a form of capacity building within the Prevention Support System that provides a framework to guide practitioners in adapting programs while encouraging researchers to provide information relevant to adaptation as a critical aspect of dissemination research, with the goal of promoting wider dissemination and better implementation of EBPs. We illustrate Planned Adaptation using the JOBS Program (Caplan et al. 1989), which was developed for recently laid-off, working- and middle-class workers and subsequently implemented with welfare recipients.

“…In several cross-sectional studies of lowincome mothers who were working or on welfare, selfefficacy was positively correlated with employment (Jackson 2000;Jackson and Scheines 2005). Following from this research it is hypothesized that barriers to work form another mediator in the relationship between mastery and women's employment outcomes, and that mastery decreases perceived work barriers.…”

The ability of welfare-to-work clients to leave the welfare rolls and stay in the labor force is often limited by the work barriers they face. Using a sample of 1,404 female welfare-to-work clients we first examined the structure of work barriers and then tested their contribution to current work status in the context of a structural equation model that incorporated other central pathways to employment. Whereas work barriers included diverse factors ranging from lack of transportation to low quality jobs, they were shown to constitute a uni-dimensional construct. Furthermore, work barriers had a net adverse effect on employment outcomes, controlling for job search self-efficacy and employment intention. We conclude with discussion of implications for the development of welfare-to-work programs and interventions that target low-income women.

“…Family stress theory proposes that socioeconomic stressors indirectly affect the development of young children through the stress and distress experienced by their mother (Ewart & Suchday, 2002;Kotchick, Dorsey, & Heller, 2005;Westbrook & Jones Harden, 2010). Stress and depressive symptoms in mothers are linked to parenting that is less warm, supportive, and involved ( Jackson, Brooks-Gunn, Huang, & Glassman, 2000;Jackson & Scheines, 2005), is more restrictive (Gutman, Friedek, & Hitt, 2003), and shows fewer child-centred behaviours (Bluestone & Tamis-LeMonda, 1999). Similarly, reflective functioning theory suggests that psychosocial difficulties-such as depression, domestic abuse, and substance use-impact mothers' understanding of their child's needs, emotions, and intents (Schechter et al, 2008;Sharp & Fonagy, 2008;Wohlgemuth Levy, 2003).…”
