An intersectional approach for the effects of school bullying & cyberbullying on beliefs about the future among Latine LGBTQ + youth in the United States
Latine lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) youth in the United States (U.S.) experience compounded forms of oppression that increase vulnerability to both school‐based and cyberbullying. Guided by the Minority Stress Theory (MST) and the Temporal Intersectional Minority Stress Model (TIMSM), this study examined how intersectional bullying relates to future outlook among Latine LGBTQ+ youth, and whether internalized stigma, dep…

The social support total and tangible support scales moderated the relationship between ACEs and depression.

Minority stress, mental health, and mindfulness and self-compassion as moderators among young sexual minority men
Technical and relational process in MI sessions with a sample of Hispanic/Latinx adults who engage in heavy drinking
The current study tests the Motivational Interviewing (MI) technical and relational hypotheses in a sample of Hispanic/Latinx adults ( N = 276) who engage in heavy alcohol consumption. MI causal theory hypothesizes that therapist use of MI consistent skills (i.e., technical hypothesis) and embodiment of the MI Spirit (i.e., relational hypothesis) will elicit client change talk, which is a putative mechanism of positive client outcome after the se…
The minority stress psychological mediation framework and mental health of Latinx sexual minority men
The National Institute for Health has designated racial/ethnic minorities and sexual and gender minorities as health disparities populations. Researchers have historically examined these identity groups independently and failed to account for membership in both racial/ethnic and sexual and gender minority groups. As such, Latinx sexual minority populations continue to be understudied in the psychological literature. The minority stress psychologi…
Social Anxiety and Drinking Behaviors
This study investigates social anxiety and drinking behaviors among 815 Hispanic students across Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) and Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs). Results highlight a significant relationship between social anxiety and increased drinking behaviors but were less for those in HSIs. Students at HSIs with more social anxiety also reported lower drinking consequences when compared to those at PWIs

Research and engagement considerations for alcohol use telehealth services within HIV care
The prevalence of alcohol misuse is high among people with HIV (PWH); however, access to and utilization of evidence-based alcohol misuse interventions remain limited. Telehealth is one treatment approach with the potential for enhancing substance use disorder treatment utilization for PWH served by Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). However, questions remain regarding barriers to alcohol-focused telehealth service integration and telehe…
Development and Validation of the Gay-Specific Intraminority Stigma Inventory (G-Sisi)
There is currently a lack of measures testing intraminority stress within gay men. Therefore, the current study sought to develop and psychometrically test the Gay-Specific Intraminority Stigma Inventory (G-SISI). Based on a content review of the literature and a panel of experts, a pool of items assessing gay men’s perceived exposure to a range of discriminatory attitudes from other gay men was generated. Utilizing a randomly split sample of 172…

Transgender and gender diverse adults’ reflections on alcohol counseling and recommendations for providers
18) to explore factors that facilitate positive interactions with health care providers and identify relevant information for alcohol use disorder treatment. Participants were recruited from an LGBTQ +-focused health center in Los Angeles, California.

Examining the Impact of Race on Motivational Interviewing Implementation and Outcomes with HIV+ Heavy Drinking Men Who Have Sex with Men
Motivational interviewing (MI)-based interventions focus on changing behavior through building client motivation. It is unknown how racial mismatch between clients and providers may impact MI implementation and subsequent behavior. We used a mixed methods approach to examine differences in Motivational Interviewing Skill Code (MISC) coded sessions and post-session outcomes between a sample of HIV-positive cisgender men who have sex with men (MSM)…

Psychometric validation and extension of the LGBT people of Color Microaggressions Scale with a sample of sexual minority Bipoc college students
Cultural Humility with Religious and Spiritually Diverse Women of Color Clients
Cultural humility, as part of a therapist’s multicultural orientation, can help facilitate a strong working alliance with clients across diverse cultural backgrounds. Given that little research has attended to how the intersections of race/ethnicity, gender, and religion/spirituality (R/S) influence counseling dyads, we tested the factor structure and provided evidence for the reliability and construct validity of the Cultural Humility Scale (CHS…
Attachment avoidance to God exacerbates the negative effect of tangible resource loss on psychological resource loss
The present study examined the impact of losing tangible resources on psychological resources in a sample of college students (n = 160) affected by Hurricane Katrina. The data was collected approximately five months after the storm. Based on conservation of resources theory, we tested whether the loss of tangible resources (e.g., food, water) would be positively related to the loss of psychological resources (e.g., optimism, hope), and whether th…
The Feminist Identity Composite
The Feminist Identity Composite is a commonly used measure of feminist identity development. However, psychometric examinations of this measure with samples of diverse women are lacking. The current study presents the first investigation, to our knowledge, to examine the factor structure of the Feminist Identity Composite with two subsamples of sexual minority women ( N = 402). We used exploratory factor analysis (EFA), partial confirmatory facto…
The influence of multiple oppressions on women of color’s experiences with insidious trauma
In this study, we examined the relations between multiple forms of oppressive experiences (i.e., racism, sexism, and sexual objectification) and trauma symptoms among Women of Color (WOC). In addition, self-esteem was explored as a partial mediating variable in these links, and ethnic identity strength was proposed to buffer the negative relationship between multiple forms of oppression and self-esteem, and the positive relationship between oppre…
