Structural minority stress predicts suicidality, substance use, and sexual risk behaviors among sexual minority adolescents
This study examines associations between structural minority stress and behavioral health outcomes including suicidal ideation and behaviors, substance use, and sexual risk taking among sexual minority adolescents. Data were analyzed from the 2021 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, which included 3,996 sexual minority adolescents. A series of multi-level binomal logistic models were calculated to examine the association between state equity index and su…

Impulsive Decision Reduction Training for Youth (IDRT-Y) to Promote Adaptive Decision-Making
Decision biases contribute to disruptive behavior, substance use, and other risky behaviors in youth, yet few interventions directly target decision-making processes to promote adaptive outcomes. This study adapted Impulsive Decision Reduction Training for Youth (IDRT-Y) from an adult model to improve adolescent decision-making and reduce risky behaviors. In an open pilot trial, 26 youth (ages 10-17) with frequent, impairing risky behaviors were …
Initial Validation of a Computerized Adaptive Test for Substance Use Disorder Identification in Adolescents
PURPOSE: Computerized adaptive tests (CATs) are highly efficient assessment tools that couple low patient and clinician time burden with high diagnostic accuracy. A CAT for substance use disorders (CAT-SUD-E) has been validated in adult populations but has yet to be tested in adolescents. The purpose of this study was to perform initial evaluation of the K-CAT-SUD-E (i.e., Kiddy-CAT-SUD-E) in an adolescent sample compared to a gold-standard diagn…
Depressive symptoms, avoidant coping, and alcohol use
Trauma exposure and alcohol use often co-occur. Unveiling predictors of drinking behavior, including among those with varying levels of trauma exposure, can inform behavioral health prevention and treatment efforts in at-risk populations. The current study examined associations between depressive symptoms, avoidant coping, gender, and alcohol use among emerging adults with and without trauma exposure and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Part…

Clinical diversity in a randomized trial that explicitly sought racial/ethnic diversity in its sample
Results suggest that efforts to expand racial/ethnic diversity in an RCT of combined substance use and trauma-focused mental health may also expand other clinical dimensions. Many of these differences reflect multiple dimensions of racism experienced by NL Black families that clinicians must attend to. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
Doomscrolling during Covid-19
These results suggest that regular viewing of pandemic-related social media is associated with increases in psychopathology for those with existing vulnerabilities. Those with such vulnerabilities should adopt strategies to limit social media consumption. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
Sexual Risk Behavior among Adolescents Seeking Treatment for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
Gene Expression Differences Between Young Adults Based on Trauma History and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
Background: The purpose of this study was to identify gene expression differences associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and trauma exposure (TE) in a three-group study design comprised of those with and without trauma exposure and PTSD. Methods: We conducted gene expression and gene network analyses in a sample ( n = 45) composed of female subjects of European Ancestry (EA) with PTSD, TE without PTSD, and controls. Results: We ide…
