Current Projects
Dr. Boland-Prom is an assistant professor in the Social Work Department of GSU where she teaches human behavior and practice. Dr. Boland-Prom has written articles, a book chapter, and has given numerous presentations on issues related to professional social work ethics. She is also working in the area of postpartum depression. Dr. Boland-Prom is interested in learning more about the ethical dilemmas and challenges that social workers face. Information about social workers who have been sanctioned by state regulatory boards helps to identify ethical dilemmas and challenges so that professors, social workers, and supervisors can better prepare social work practitioners. Dr. Boland-Prom received a two-year grant (2009-2011) for two studies on social workers. The research is supported in whole or in part by the American Foundation for Research and Consumer Education in Social Work Regulation, Inc., a foundation of the Association of Social Work Boards. The grant award supports work on two research projects. Social Workers Sanctioned by State Regulatory BoardsThis research seeks to identify the behavior of social workers that has resulted in sanctions from state regulatory boards from 2000-2009. This builds on an earlier study by Dr. Boland-Prom published in the October 2009 issue of the journal Social Work from the NASW Press. The current study is expected to result in more than 3,000 cases and more states. Results from the current study will add to our understanding of regulatory boards’ practices related to protecting the public and identify challenges in social work practice. School Social Workers Sanctioned by State Regulatory BoardsThis research is designed to identify how state boards of education handle complaints against social workers who are employed in the kindergarten through high schools (K-12); and, what types of complaints are made against school based social workers. The research is designed to provide more information on the challenges that social workers face in K-12 schools. Graduate AssistantsDr. Boland-Prom is being assisted with her research project by two Graduate Assistants: .jpg "Gowri Shankar") Gowri Shankar Gunaganti is currently a Health Administration studies graduate student at GSU.
