    This observational study used descriptive analysis to improve understanding of the relationship between fathers’ presence or absence, the occurrence of mothers’ feeding practices, and child eating behaviors at evening meals. Participants were 141 Mexican-origin families with children aged 8 to 10 years. We coded behavioral observations of video-recorded meals. Three parental feeding practices were established a priori : (1) pressure to eat, (2) r…

  • Adverse childhood experiences, age at menopause, and vasomotor symptoms among midlife Latine adults in California

    Open AccessSA Geisel-Zamora, Suzanna Geisel-Zamora et al.ARTICLEEvolutionary Human Sciences2026

    The menopausal transition is a pivotal period in the female reproductive lifespan with potential consequences for long-term health and quality of life. Latine adults in the US often experience menopause earlier and have more frequent vasomotor symptoms (VMS) compared to non-Latine White adults. These differences may be partly attributed to early life adversity, such as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), which may alter energy allocation toward…

  • Associations among familism, maternal parenting, and weight-related behaviors in Mexican American adolescents

    Open AccessKay W Kim, Deborah J Wiebe et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2026

    Mexican American adolescents in the U.S. face disproportionately high rates of obesity. Familism, a core Mexican cultural value emphasizing family closeness, and parenting processes such as communication and monitoring are associated with adolescents’ weight-related behaviors such as diet, physical activity, sleep, screen time and weight outcomes. Participants were 439 mother-adolescent dyads (47.2% boys) from the CHAMACOS cohort, a longitudinal …

    Open AccessSabrina C Boyce, Alexandra M Minnis et al.ARTICLEViolence Against Women2025

    Gender inequitable norms have severe consequences for safety and health globally. Using data from a four-arm cluster randomized control trial of the Reaching Married Adolescents in Niger (RMA) intervention (2016-2019), this study assesses effects on gender norms among husbands of married adolescent girls ( n = 1,055). Using an adjusted hierarchical difference-in-differences model, we found assignment to the RMA small groups intervention to be ass…

  • Impacts of Covid-19 shelter in place across key life domains among immigrant farmworker Latina mothers and young adults

    Open AccessMichael Bakal, Elizabeth Ambriz et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    In the event of future pandemics or disasters, particular attention is needed to those who experience unemployment, are undocumented and/or have undocumented family members, and/or are single parents facing economic adversity. During public health emergencies, action at the local, state, and national level is needed to support farmworkers and other vulnerable groups' secondary major stressors stemming from inequities in access to affordable housi…

    Open AccessElizabeth Ambriz, Nadia Rojas et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2024Referencias: 7

This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection and assess the mental health and economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandem…

  • The Role of Gender Norms on Intimate Partner Violence Among Newly Married Adolescent Girls and Young Women in India

    Open AccessLakshmi Gopalakrishnan, Stefano Bertozzi et al.ARTICLEViolence Against Women2023Citada por: 2Referencias: 2

    Gender norms have been posited to impact intimate partner violence (IPV), but there is scant evidence of the longitudinal association between community-level gender norms and IPV. Using longitudinal data on 3,965 married girls surveyed in India, we fitted mixed-effects ordinal and binary logistic regression models for physical IPV intensity and occurrence of sexual IPV. We found a 26% increase in the odds that women experience frequent physical I…

  • The Critical Value of Maternal and Child Health (MCH) to Graduate Training in Public Health

    Open AccessJulianna Deardorff, Michelle Menser Tissue et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Health Journal2022

    This new framework aims to enhance training for the next generation of public health leaders.

  • The association between religiosity and pregnancy acceptability among Latino/a young adults

    Allison L Rodriguez, Jennet Arcara et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2020

    The US Latino/a population is considered to be at high risk for unintended pregnancy; some research indicates that Latino/a parents are more likely to express happiness about an unintended pregnancy than other racial/ethnic groups. Associations between pregnancy attitudes and factors such as religiosity and nativity have also been documented in the Latino/a population, but existing research is sparse, dated and primarily focused on women of Mexic…

  • Next Steps in Puberty Research

    Open AccessJulianna Deardorff, Lindsay T Hoyt et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research on Adolescence2019

    Decades of puberty research have yielded key scientific discoveries. Building on the field's rich history, we highlight four understudied populations: youth of color, boys, sexual minority youth, and gender minority youth. We explore why scientific study has been slow to evolve in these groups and propose paths forward for exciting new work. For ethnically racially diverse youth, we discuss the need to incorporate culture and context. For boys, w…

  • Puberty Education in a Global Context

    Open AccessLisa J Crockett, Julianna Deardorff et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research on Adolescence2019

    Youth programs and policies provide opportunities for institutions and societies to support healthy adolescent development. Puberty education programs are universally important, as they provide crucial knowledge and skills to help youth and their caregivers navigate the physical, emotional, and interpersonal changes of puberty with positive outcomes. However, few puberty programs have been rigorously evaluated, resulting in a lack of evidence‐bas…
