Page Count	158
Abstract	The study investigated the role of management practices as a contributor to male social workers' increased exposure to risk factors for client-related violence in mental health service settings. Specifically, it tested the effect of gender-sensitive decision-making as it relates to risk management, regarding the case assignment of clients to male social workers. This experimental case vignette study solicited for analysis a national random sample of National Association of Social Workers members (N-181) who identified mental health as their primary service setting, and identified supervision as their primary practice function. The study used gender role theory as a conceptual framework.
