Der Band stellt die Methodendiskussion in den Zusammenhang der Theoriediskussion und geht der Frage nach, unter welchen Rahmenbedingungen sich methodisches Handeln in der Sozialen Arbeit vollzieht und welche Grenzen dem Einsatz von Methoden auf dem Hintergrund gesellschaftlicher Modernisierung gesetzt sind. Darüber hinaus liefert die Einführung eine Orientierung über die wichtigsten diskutierten und praktizierten Methodenkonzepte in der Sozialen Arbeit. In kritischen Skizzen werden die Ansätze und ihre zentralen Merkmale dargestellt und auf ihre Chancen und Grenzen im Rahmen einer lebensweltorientierten Sozialen Arbeit hin beleuchtet.

Recent mandates to wear masks in public places across the USA combined with conflicting messaging from the media and government agencies have generated a lot of patient questions surrounding the appropriate use and efficacy of cloth masks. Here, we have organized the evidence in the context of real patient questions and have provided example answers from a physician's perspective. The purpose of this review is to offer healthcare providers with examples of how to respond to patient questions about masks in a way that encourages responsible decision-making. We conclude, based on the evidence showing a benefit for cloth masks and the recent reports supporting a role for aerosols in the transmission of SARS-CoV-2, that cloth masks will be effective when used correctly. We further assert that stronger public messaging surrounding cloth masks in the community setting is needed, and should specify that 2–3 layer, fitted face masks be worn at all times in public as another layer of protection in addition to social distancing, not just when social distancing cannot be maintained.

Purpose. The objective of this study is to show how baseline findings can redefine the design of an intervention. Design. A baseline cross-sectional study. Setting. The study area was a suburban community near the Nicaraguan capital, Managua. Subjects. A sample of 612 girls aged 10 to 14 years was selected, and 592 (97%) participated in the study. Measures. Using individual interviews, data were collected on sociodemographics; self-esteem and life prospects; gender; sexuality and human reproduction; knowledge of sexually transmitted diseases, human immunodeficiency virus, and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome; violence; and networking. Analysis. Frequency tables. Results. A high proportion (87.5%) of the girls lived with their mothers, and only 59% had their fathers living with the family. In 51% of the sample, the mothers made the decisions at home. For the majority of the girls, their mothers were their referent persons when they wanted to talk about sexuality and pregnancies, whereas only a few girls said they would talk with friends. Conclusion. The mother is the most important significant other, and thus, according to the theory of reasoned action, she would be the most important person to influence the girl. Careful investigations into which groups are forming the norms are essential for an effective intervention program in order to change behavior and enhance self-esteem.
