“…Existing literature suggests that the non-random sampling method, while not the preferred choice, is acceptable until a data base can be developed that will completely assess this population (Brown, 1983). Previous studies on adolescent fathers have revealed a wide range of sample sizes, from as few as nine to as many as 100 (Hanson, Morrison, & Ginsburg, 1989;Smith, 1988).…”

This study explores several factors related to the parental involvement of African-American adolescent fathers. These factors are identified through empirical literature as exerting influence upon adolescent fathers and their roles as fathers. An exploratory research design was utilized in order to obtain a better understanding of these fathers and how the identified factors affected parental involvement. Findings suggest that these adolescent fathers exhibit a level of parental involvement that is not generally perceived by the public. Additionally, the findings suggest that the identified factors interact to influence different dimensions of parental involvement.

“…After approval was obtained from the institutional review board, a purposive sample was recruited. The literature suggests that the nonrandom sampling method is acceptable until a database can be developed that can more adequately assess a population (Bernard, 1995; Brown, 1983; Kershaw, 1998). Flyers were posted at the approved, designated sites for recruiting research participants on the university campus.…”

This article reports the findings of a qualitative study that examined the perceptions of depression and suicide risk and protection among 40 African American women. Seven focus groups were conducted. The thematic findings of the focus group discussions included perceptions of depression as a sense of ''spiritual forsakenness'' and a healthy alternative to suicide. Living in spirit as well as in community with others was viewed as protection against suicide. Having a strong sense of African American heritage, history, and identity was perceived as protection against suicide and depression. Womanist implications for social work research, practice, and education are discussed.Keywords black feminist theory/womanism, health and mental health, qualitative researcher, race/ethnicity Studies, both survey and clinical, have indicated that women are at a higher risk of experiencing depression than are men (Taylor, Henderson,

“…Womanism in theory and action are not distinct and separable parts of some whole; they are often synonymous, and it is the result of the Womanist's actions (lived experiences) that her theory can be clearly articulated (Collins, 1988;Gilkes, 1988). Obviously, this not only applies to African American mothers in professional arenas but also is true for the lives of many other African American mothers who may have limited time and resources, and yet maintain a holistic, positive view of life and struggle (Brown 1983;Kalyanpur & Rao, 1991;Wallace 1980). As Fraizer (1966 noted, history has not instilled in African American women "the spirit of subordination to masculine authority by either economic necessity or tradition.…”

Although the incidence of disability is more prevalent among African Americans than any other ethnic group in the United States, empirically based guidelines grounded in the unique history and experiences of African American caretakers of children with disabilities are limited. A qualitative, exploratory design consisting of in-depth thematic interviews with 12 nondeaf African American female caretakers of deaf children was used to identify unique responses and approaches incorporated in raising deaf children of African descent. The data analysis plan entailed a modified grounded theory approach. Womanism was used inductively and deductively in organizing emerging themes as an explanatory model.
