520			_aDespite the recognition of student loan forgiveness programs (SLFPs) as a recruitment tool and job retention mechanism, little is known about their perceived effects on turnover prevention or potential to ease turnover pressure and prevent activation of turnover intention. This article describes the results of a recent survey by the National Association of Social Workers (Massachusetts chapter) on SLFPs. Specifically, the article examines the role of turnover intention and sociodemographic factors on the perception of whether student loan forgiveness (SLF) could prevent social workers from leaving their jobs. Results from bivariate and multivariate analyses using convenience sample (N = 569) suggest that amount of student loan debt, worrying about student loan debt, and turnover intention were significantly associated with perceiving SLF as likely to prevent turnover. Similarly, student loan variables differed by demographic characteristics. MSW graduates were more likely than BSW graduates to have inquired about SLFP, owe more student loan debt, and indicate propensity to participate in SLFP. However, BSW graduates were more likely than MSW graduates to worry about student loan debt. The article concludes with a discussion of the implications of findings for policy, practice, higher education, and future research, including relevance to advocacy and legislative efforts.
