Sociocultural Antecedents of HPV Vaccination Completion Among Mothers of Mexican Descent
Anticipated Emotional Reactions as Indicators of Adolescents’ Perceived Social (dis) Connectedness During the Moment of Suicidal Crisis
Effects of a Sequential Community-Based Multi Component HIV Intervention on Sexual Behavior, Drug Use and Syringe Sharing for People Who Inject Drugs on the US-Mexico Border
How Anti-Immigrant Policies Impact Research Among Latinx and Undocumented People Who Use Drugs
Since January 2025, anti-immigrant policies, criminalization, and xenophobic rhetoric have rapidly intensified, threatening the health and well-being of Latinx communities. Under new executive orders, funding and research related to racial health disparities and equity is being scaled back or halted. The negative effects of immigration enforcement on the health of Latinx communities have been well documented. Less is known about how the implement…
Relations of Social Determinants of Health to Pain and Function in Individuals with Knee Osteoarthritis in a Hispanic-dominant Community
A factorial experiment grounded in the multiphase optimization strategy to promote viral suppression among people who inject drugs on the Texas-Mexico border
This project was registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT05377463) on May 17th, 2022
Institutional violence from police militarization and drug cartel wars as a ‘Big Event’ and its influence on drug use harms and HIV risk in people who inject drugs on the U.S.–Mexico border
The influence of perceived immigration context and healthcare utilization immigration law concerns on Latinx immigrants’ HIV testing
Aunque nuevas infecciones de VIH se han mantenido estable o han disminuido para la mayoría de los grupos en los Estados Unidos (E.U.) en alto riesgo de contraer VIH, la incidencia de VIH entre Latinx ha aumentado 6% y entre individuos Latinx, los inmigrantes están desproporcionalmente afectados por la epidemia. Uno de los factores que contribuye a la alta tasa de VIH es la baja tasa de pruebas de VIH entre inmigrantes. Aunque la investigación con…
Latinx Immigrants’ Legal Concerns About Sars-CoV-2 Testing and Covid-19 Diagnosis and Treatment
US public charge policy and Latinx immigrants’ thoughts about health and healthcare utilization
Participants were acutely aware of the image of immigrants as public charges or potential burdens on government resources that underlies US immigration policy. In some cases, participants came to inaccurate and potentially harmful conclusions about the substance of laws and regulations based on their beliefs about the government's rejection of immigrants who may burden public resources. This underscores the importance of ensuring that immigrants …
Validation of Brief Condom Use Attitudes Scales for Spanish-Speaking People Who Use Crack Cocaine in El Salvador
Testing for Differences in the Reporting of Somatic Symptoms of Depression in Racial/Ethnic Minorities
We tested if Latinx and Black individuals are more likely to somaticize depression compared with their White counterparts. We analyzed 14,745 depression ratings from 4,101 people living with HIV from 2007 to 2014. We calculated the percentage of each depression score accounted for by somatic symptom items (e.g., feeling tired). We analyzed depression scores using generalized estimation equations, which accounts for repeated measures within each p…
HIV Testing and Mistaken Beliefs about Immigration Laws
Intervention Reach and Sexual Risk Reduction of a Multi-level, Community-Based HIV Prevention Intervention for Crack Users in San Salvador, El Salvador
The Development and Psychometric Properties of the Immigration Law Concerns Scale (ILCS) for HIV Testing
HPV vaccine acceptance among African-American mothers and their daughters
Study findings can inform the development of culturally appropriate interventions that advances the evidence on cervical cancer prevention
Parental acceptance and uptake of the HPV vaccine among African-Americans and Latinos in the United States
Using Peer-Referral Chains with Incentives to Promote HIV Testing and Identify Undiagnosed HIV Infections Among Crack Users in San Salvador
HPV Vaccine Awareness, Barriers, Intentions, and Uptake in Latina Women
Testing comprehensive models of disclosure of sexual orientation in HIV-positive Latino men who have sex with men (MSM)
Individuals who disclose their sexual orientation are more likely to also disclose their HIV status. Disclosure of HIV-serostatus is associated with better health outcomes. The goal of this study was to build and test comprehensive models of sexual orientation that included eight theory-informed predictors of disclosure to mothers, fathers, and closest friends in a sample of HIV-positive Latino gay and bisexual men. US acculturation, gender nonco…
Holistic reasoning on the other side of the world
The universality of cognitive processes has been called into question. Research suggests that individuals from Eastern cultures (e.g., China, Korea) when compared to individuals from Western cultures (e.g., the United States) prefer to reason holistically. This line of research has not been extended to cultural groups far removed from cultures traditionally surveyed in cross-cultural research such as Hispanics. We conducted two studies to underst…
Assimilation and individual differences in emotion
Culture and Probability Judgment Accuracy
A well-established phenomenon in the judgment and decision-making tradition is the overconfidence one places in the amount of knowledge that one possesses. Overconfidence or probability judgment accuracy varies not only individually but also across cultures. However, research efforts to explain cross-cultural variations in the overconfidence phenomenon have seldom been made. In Study 1, the authors compared the probability judgment accuracy of U.…
Is Acculturation a Dynamic Construct
Recent evidence suggests that culture is a dynamic construct activated in response to cues encountered in a given situation. Research on acculturation indicates that this is a complex construct that might be domain specific. Two studies were undertaken to investigate the effect of two ways of priming culture on acculturation and enculturation scores in a Hispanic population. In study 1 ( N = 59) culture was primed by exposing participants to cult…
