Evaluating attitudes toward affective-sexual and gender diversity in education
The inclusion of sexual and gender diversity in education remains a persistent challenge, largely due to the enduring presence of negative attitudes. Education is a key context in which prejudice can be reinforced or, alternatively, egalitarian attitudes promoted. Advancing inclusion requires valid instruments to assess attitudes toward diversity. To this end, several authors have developed, validated, or applied instruments to assess attitudes t…
Burden and well-being among dementia caregivers in Puerto Rico
In this Puerto Rico-based sample, perceptual disturbances/apathy, and appetite/eating symptoms specifically, were most likely to magnify the caregiver burden-depressive symptoms link
Differences in Pain Presence and Intensity Among Black, Latino, and White Community-Dwelling Midlife and Older Adults in the U.S
We analyzed Wave 3 data from the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (weighted n = 2907) to examine variations in pain presence and intensity among US community-dwelling Black, Latino, and white adults aged 50 plus. Adjusting for factors that commonly contribute to stress and health inequalities (educational attainment, inadequate health insurance, perceived economic position, and perceived discrimination), we examined how pain presen…
Risk Factors for Elder Mistreatment Among Older Korean Americans
Using data from a sample of older Korean Americans ( n = 2,150), we examined the prevalence and associated factors of physical, emotional, and financial mistreatment. Given the importance of contextual factors, we examined the effect of immigration-related (years in the U.S. and acculturation) and interpersonal/community-related (family solidarity, social network, and ethnic community social cohesion) factors in addition to sociodemographic and h…
Loneliness and pain among community-dwelling middle-aged and older Black, Latino, and White adults in the United States
Background Prior research has demonstrated a strong and independent association between loneliness and pain, but few studies to date have explored this relationship in racially and ethnically diverse groups of midlife and older adults. We drew on the diathesis stress model of chronic pain and cumulative inequality theory to examine the relationship of loneliness and the presence and intensity of pain in a nationally representative sample of Black…
The relationship of history of psychiatric and substance use disorders on risk of dementia among racial and ethnic groups in the United States
The findings indicate that having psychiatric and substance use history increases the risk of developing AD and VaD in later life. Preventing the onset and recurrence of such disorders may prevent or delay the onset of AD and VaD dementia subtypes. Prevention efforts should pay particular attention to non-Hispanic White and African American older adults who have history of other psychiatric disorders.Future research should address diagnostic shor…
Employment of trauma informed principles in the Palabras Fuertes project
In the US, there is a growing number of older Latinx communities. Qualitative approaches such as narrative inquiry may be fruitful endeavors to elucidate their lived experiences. However, older Latinx communities, including sexual minorities, are disproportionately exposed to social, health, and historical challenges that may result in exposure to potentially traumatic events (e.g. discrimination, illness, grief, etc.). The recognition of high ra…
The Role of Ethnic Community Social Capital in the Association between Acculturation and Psychological Distress among Older Korean Americans
Interprofessional collaboration between social workers and community health workers to address health and mental health in the United States
Collaboration between social workers (SW) and community health workers (CHW) plays an essential role in addressing health inequities in the United States (US). However, little is known about the current state of CHW/SW collaboration. The objectives of this review were to identify (a) the nature, goals and setting of CHWs and SW collaboration; (b) the patient outcomes utilised to measure intervention efficacy. The literature search was conducted i…
Duration of Dementia and Social Service Use in the U.S.-Born and Foreign-Born Mexican-American Population
Given the high cost of institutional care and availability of family caregivers, community-based services are a potentially useful alternative for the growing Mexican-American population living with dementia. Expanded Medicaid and CBS programs could be an equitable and cost-effective alternative that should be investigated
The Effect of Support From Secondary Caregiver Network on Primary Caregiver Burden
Our findings support the role of SCN in reducing primary caregiver burden and demonstrate that the benefit of SCN support varies across the 4 gender-race groups. The results indicate that it is imperative to further examine caregiving experience and protective mechanisms of SCN support using an intersectional perspective

We used multiple regression and controlled for demographics and potential confounders. Results: Nearly 45% of caregivers report…
Contextualizing the Covid-19 Era in Puerto Rico
The human suffering of the Puerto Rican population is compounded by the consequences of fiscal austerity, increasing levels of income and wealth inequality, the debt crisis, significant emigration, and a dysfunctional health care system. Future governmental actions are required to lessen the burden of parallel pandemics on older adults in Puerto Rico
Stigmatising beliefs about Alzheimer’s disease
Responding to the public health significance of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and lack of information on AD-related issues in Asian Americans, the present study examined the prevalence and predictors of three stigmatising beliefs about AD (beliefs that associate AD with a normal process of ageing, family embarrassment and social avoidance) using a sample of Asian Americans representing diverse ethnic groups (Chinese, Asian Indian, Korean, Vietnamese, …
Discrimination, Serious Psychological Distress, and Church-Based Emotional Support Among African American Men Across the Life Span
This is the first study to document relationships among discrimination, SPD, and church-based support in a nationally representative sample of African American men. Overall, rather than revealing a stress-buffering function, findings were consistent with the resource mobilization perspective of social support, indicating that higher levels of assistance from church networks are provided when individuals experience high levels of both discriminati…
For Their Financial Benefit
More than 17 million disabled Americans receive financial benefits from the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) through the Supplemental Security Income or the Social Security Disability Insurance programs, or both. Taken together, 3.5 million disabled adults are appointed a representative payee who receives and manages their SSA benefits because they have been determined not to be financially capable (that is, able to manage or direct the …

Stress and Depressive Symptoms Among Mexican American Elders
Although social stressors have successfully predicted depressive symptomatology in a number of populations, few studies have examined the relevance of stressors for Mexican American elders. Results are reported here from a multistage probability sample of 3,050 Mexican Americans aged 65 and older drawn from a 5-state region. Participants reported low levels of education and income, and most reported difficulty in reading or writing in English. De…
Stress, social support, and coping as predictors of depressive symptoms
The authors investigated stress, coping responses, and social support variables as predictors of psychological distress among 171 Mexican American men and women. The study tested hypotheses positing gender differences in the rates of depressive symptoms as well as differences in factors associated with depressive symptoms. Stepwise regression analyses were conducted for the total sample and separately for each gender. Data indicate that although …

Factors Associated with Depressive Symptoms Among Latino Family Dementia Caregivers

The Influence of Ethnicity and Culture on the Caregiver Stress and Coping Process
The authors review the literature on ethnic minority caregivers and suggest that ethnicity and culture play a significant role in the stress and coping process for Latino caregivers. Caregivers of older Latinos face special challenges in the caregiving for individuals at higher risk for specific chronic diseases, who are disabled at earlier ages, and who have more functional disabilities. Ethnicity and culture can also influence the appraisal of …
