Physical health among Hispanic adults
The Hispanic population in the United States (US) is an established tobacco and physical health disparities population. However, there has been limited study of this group in terms of type of nicotine product use and health status. The current investigation builds from limited past work to explore differences in physical health status, somatic symptom severity, and medical conditions between Hispanic adults who exclusively use combustible cigaret…

Racial Regard and Internalizing Symptoms Among Black Youth
Racism-related relational schemas such as negative public regard, a facet of racial identity, can both contribute to or buffer against risk for internalizing psychopathology. Expressive suppression may be a target factor in understanding the complex relationship between negative public regard and internalizing psychopathology. The present investigation examined indirect effects of negative public regard on internalizing symptoms through expressiv…
Covid-19 worry and smoking processes among Hispanic persons in the United States
Hispanic persons in the United States (US) experienced a disproportionate proportion of adverse health consequences during the pandemic and are a well-established tobacco disparities population. The tendency to worry is one individual difference cognitive-affective construct that is important to smoking behavior and stress-related experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is limited understanding of COVID-19 worry in terms of smoki…
Posttraumatic stress and alcohol use among Hispanic/Latina survivors of interpersonal trauma
This research has the potential to advance culturally-informed literature on factors that may impact co-occurring PTSD symptoms and alcohol use. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
Anxiety symptoms and anxiety sensitivity in relation to cigarette dependence, perceived barriers for smoking cessation and quit problems among adult Latinx smokers
Cigarette smoking is associated with adverse physical and mental health among Latinx adults in the United States. The present investigation sought to explore the main and interactive effects of anxiety symptoms and anxiety sensitivity in relation to cigarette dependence, perceived barriers for smoking cessation, and severity of problems experienced when quitting among adult Latinx smokers. Participants included 338 Latinx adult daily cigarette sm…
Heart-Focused Anxiety Among Trauma-Exposed Latinx Young Adults
Rates of traumatic event exposure, posttraumatic stress (PTS), and co-occurring mental health symptoms and disorders are conditionally higher among Latinx individuals compared to other racial/ethnic populations. Importantly, Latinx persons are a heterogeneous population, and certain subgroups endorse higher rates of negative mental health outcomes than others, including Latinx young adults born in the USA. Yet, there is little understanding of in…
Perceived Discrimination, Experiential Avoidance, and Mental Health among Hispanic Adults in Primary Care
The Hispanic population is the largest minority group in the United States and frequently experiences racial discrimination and mental health difficulties. Prior work suggests that perceived racial discrimination is a significant risk factor for poorer mental health among Hispanic in the United States. However, little work has investigated how perceived racial discrimination relates to anxiety and depression among Hispanic adults. Thus, the curre…
Effortful Control Moderates the Relation Between Negative Emotionality and Child Anxiety and Depressive Symptom Severity in Children with Anxiety Disorders
The moderating role of anxiety sensitivity in terms of fatigue severity and e-cigarette use expectancies
Little is understood about individual difference factors related to e-cigarette expectancies about use. This study examined the interactive effects of fatigue severity and anxiety sensitivity in relation to e-cigarette expectancies among 525 e-cigarette users (51.0% female, Mage = 35.25 years, standard deviation = 10.10). Results indicated a significant interaction between fatigue severity and anxiety sensitivity in terms of positive expectancies…
Anxiety sensitivity and acculturative stress
The Latinx population suffers from mental health inequalities. Although past work has implicated acculturative stress and anxiety sensitivity as important individual difference factors for anxiety and depression in this group, it is presently unclear how they work together to influence more severe anxiety and depressive symptom expression among Latinx. To help address this gap in the existing literature, the current study evaluated the role of co…
Anxiety symptoms and smoking outcome expectancies among Spanish-speaking Latinx adult smokers
Although anxiety symptoms/disorders are consistently implicated in smoking processes, no empirical work has identified individual difference factors that may underlie such relations among Latinx smokers. The current study examined anxiety sensitivity as an explanatory factor underlying the relationship between anxiety symptoms and smoking expectancies among Spanish-speaking Latinx smokers. Participants included 363 Spanish-speaking Latinx daily s…
Pain-Related Anxiety Among Latinx College Students
Perceived racial discrimination, anxiety sensitivity, and mental health among Latinos in a federally qualified health center
Childhood anxiety sensitivity, fear downregulation, and anxious behaviors
Anxiety sensitivity-the fear that anxiety-related sensations will result in catastrophic physical, social, or psychological consequences-is a robust risk factor for clinical anxiety. However, less is known about how anxiety sensitivity may interact with physiological modulation of arousal to predict anxious children's fear responses. The present investigation examined vagal withdrawal as a moderator of the association between anxiety sensitivity …
Anxiety sensitivity and acculturative stress facets among Latinx in primary care
Parental Emotion-Focused Behaviors Moderate the Relationship Between Perceptual Sensitivity and Fear Reactivity in Anxious Children
A Pilot Study of Family-Based Exposure-Focused Treatment for Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Anxiety
Examining the indirect effect of posttraumatic stress symptoms via emotion dysregulation on alcohol misuse among trauma-exposed Latinx in primary care
In a sample comprising primarily females, posttraumatic stress symptoms may contribute to alcohol misuse and hazardous drinking attributable to maladaptive emotion regulation. Use of interventions targeting emotion dysregulation in the context of trauma and hazardous alcohol use among Latinx in primary care may be warranted.

Acculturative stress and alcohol use among Latinx recruited from a primary care clinic
38.5 years, SD = 10.8; 86.6% female) recruited from a Federally Qualified Health Center provided self-reported ratings of acculturative stress, emotion dysregulation, and alcohol use. All measures were in Spanish. Covariates included sex, marital status, age, years in the United States, negative affectivity, and clinic visit reason (patient vs. person accompanying patient). There was a statistically significant interaction of acculturative stress…
Worry Among Latinx Young Adults
Perceived Racial Discrimination and Pain Intensity/Disability Among Economically Disadvantaged Latinos in a Federally Qualified Health Center
Anxiety sensitivity and acculturative stress among trauma exposed Latinx young adults
There are elevated rates of trauma exposure, posttraumatic stress symptoms, and greater conditional risk of posttraumatic stress disorder among Latinx relative to other racial/ethnic groups. Such trauma-related health disparities serve to exacerbate or maintain acculturative and other types of stress among the Latinx population. Yet, little research has explored what types of individual difference factors may undergird variability in acculturativ…
Ready to Adopt
The present work is a descriptive study of preadoptive characteristics of families pursuing international adoptions. Families were recruited through six adoption agencies and two Internet-based support groups for internationally adopting parents. The sample included 256 prospective parents who responded to a survey assessing various aspects of preadoptive psychological functioning, family demographics and social support, preparation for the adopt…

Anxiety sensitivity and rumination
Latinos face striking physical and mental health disparities. One factor associated with such disparities is subjective social status, reflecting subjective ratings of social standing. Yet there is presently a lack of empirical information about the mechanisms underlying relations between subjective social status and anxiety and depressive symptoms and disorders among Latinos in community medical services that serve as focal catchment areas for a…
