Structural stressors, neurocognition in reward-related decision making and substance use risk in Puerto Rican early adolescents at two sites
Background: Structural stressors (SS) or mutually reinforcing systems that prevent groups of individuals from accessing opportunities and resources, can impact one's health. Indicators of SS include area-level group differences in income, education and exposure to violence. SS are fundamental causes of health disparities and can be indexed by area-level measures. Area-level SS may influence substance use risk in adolescents and future substance u…
Perinatal hardship and infant neurodevelopment
BACKGROUND: Material and emotional hardship during pregnancy can shape early brain development and behavior in infants. This study used the COVID-19 pandemic as a natural context in which such hardships were widespread, particularly in low-resource settings. METHODS: This cohort study examined associations between pandemic-related maternal emotional distress and material hardship during pregnancy and early neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants. …
Prevalence of Mental Disorders and Healthcare Seeking Among Mozambican Adolescents in School
The objective of this study was to describe the prevalence and demographic correlates of mental disorders and healthcare-seeking behavior of adolescents in Mozambique. Trained assessors administered sociodemographic questionnaires and the Portuguese Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview for Children and Adolescents (MINI-KID) to adolescents in two schools in Maputo City, Mozambique to determine mental disorder diagnoses. Associations betw…
Perceived stress, negative life events, and adiposity among Puerto Rican young adults in the South Bronx, New York, and San Juan, Puerto Rico
Perceived stress and negative life events may impact adiposity, but findings across populations are inconsistent, with limited research among Hispanic/Latino groups. We examined these relationships among 818 Puerto Rican young adults (441 in San Juan, PR, and 377 in the South Bronx, NY) from the Boricua Youth Study Health Assessment (2015-2020). Perceived stress (Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10)) and negative life events (List of Threatening Exper…
Parental psychopathology and posttraumatic stress in Puerto Ricans
BACKGROUND: Parental psychopathology is associated with their children's posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS). However, the mechanisms through which this occurs remain unclear. We hypothesized that exposure to childhood adversities is the mechanism linking parental psychopathology to child PTSS and that parenting practices moderated these associations. METHODS: Participants (N = 1,402) with an average age of 24.03 years old (SD = 2.20), were all …
Screening for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Mozambique
Screening with the PC-PTSD-5 may facilitate case detection and linkages to appropriate treatment for individuals affected by potentially traumatic events in Mozambique. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
Association of maternal education, neighborhood deprivation, and racial segregation with gestational age at birth by maternal race/ethnicity and United States Census region in the Echo cohorts
Background In the United States, disparities in gestational age at birth by maternal race, ethnicity, and geography are theorized to be related, in part, to differences in individual- and neighborhood-level socioeconomic status (SES). Yet, few studies have examined their combined effects or whether associations vary by maternal race and ethnicity and United States Census region. Methods We assembled data from 34 cohorts in the Environmental influ…
Parental suicide attempts and offspring mental health problems in childhood and adolescence
BACKGROUND: The relationship between parental suicide attempts and offspring suicide risk has been established. However, the impact of parental suicide attempts on mental health problems in offspring as youth remains unexplored. This study examined the prospective association between parental suicide attempts and offspring internalizing, externalizing, and attention/hyperactivity problems in childhood and adolescence. We also examined how offspri…
Does Context and Adversity Shape Sexual Behavior in Youth? Findings from Two Representative Samples of Puerto Rican Youth
Emotional contagion behavior in a group of young girls in a secondary school in Maputo, Mozambique
Background: Emotional Contagion Behavior (ECB), the synchronized expression of emotional symptoms among members of a group, has been observed globally. In Mozambique, there have been numerous reports of ECB in recent years. Since 2010 several girls from a secondary school in Maputo City, Mozambique exhibited ECB which involved repeated fainting spells, sometimes including verbal aggression and threats to colleagues and teachers. We conducted a st…
Maternal childhood trauma and observed maternal care behaviors with 4-month-old infants
Many mothers exposed to childhood trauma may be resilient to negative effects on parenting behaviors, while specific experiences of childhood trauma (emotional abuse, emotional neglect, and cumulative childhood trauma) may predict less sensitive early parenting behaviors.

Development, religious affiliation, and social context
The percentage of PR TAY who endorse no affiliation is higher than the general PR population, reflective of increasing religious non-affiliation among TAY across cultures. Critically, TAY with no religious affiliation are twice as likely as Catholics to have illicit SUD, and 1.5 times as likely as Non-Catholic Christians to have any SUD. Endorsing no affiliation is more adverse for illicit SUD in PR than the SBx, underscoring the importance of so…
Developing a National-Scale Exposure Index for Combined Environmental Hazards and Social Stressors and Applications to the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (Echo) Cohort
Tools for assessing multiple exposures across several domains (e.g., physical, chemical, and social) are of growing importance in social and environmental epidemiology because of their value in uncovering disparities and their impact on health outcomes. Here we describe work done within the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO)-wide Cohort Study to build a combined exposure index. Our index considered both environmental hazards…
Leveraging Stakeholder Engagement and Virtual Environments to Develop a Strategy for Implementation of Adolescent Depression Services Integrated Within Primary Care Clinics of Mozambique
Psychiatric disorders are the number one cause of disability in adolescents worldwide. Yet, in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), where 90% of adolescents reside, mental health services are extremely limited, and the majority do not have access to treatment. Integration of mental health services within primary care of LMICs has been proposed as an efficient and sustainable way to close the adolescent mental health treatment gap. However, th…
Lay HIV counselors' knowledge and attitudes toward depression
Introduction: Depression is the most common mental disorder among people living with HIV/AIDS and has a negative impact on HIV treatment outcomes. Training lay HIV counselors to identify and manage depression may contribute to improved patient access and adherence to treatment, and reduce stigma and discrimination among lay health workers toward both HIV and depression. The purpose of this study was to assess the current knowledge and attitudes o…
Women's mental health in Mozambique
The frequency of CMD among women of childbearing age in our study was higher than documented rates in high-income countries and other LMIC. Additionally, we found that motherhood was not protective and that pregnancy and the postpartum period were not stages of increased risk for most disorders. This highlights the need to expand mental health services not only for perinatal women but all women of childbearing age in this and possibly similar set…
Community Health Workers’ Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices towards Epilepsy in Sofala, Central Mozambique
CHWs knowledge of medical treatment and epilepsy safety/risks were adequate. However, information on the causes of epilepsy, stigmatizing attitudes, cultural treatment, and some knowledge of epileptic seizure management were low. These areas of poor knowledge should be the focus of educating CHWs in increasing their ability to provide quality care for patients with epilepsy in Mozambique

How Ethnic Minority Context Alters the Risk for Developing Mental Health Disorders and Psychological Distress for Latinx Young Adults
Preventing depression and anxiety disorders in Latinx young adults may require targeting different childhood factors depending on whether they reside within the ethnic majority or minority context. People in the ethnic minority context may benefit more from policies aimed at reducing discrimination and improving economic opportunity, while people in the majority context may benefit more from opportunities for strengthening family and peer relatio…
ADHD and risk for subsequent adverse childhood experiences
BACKGROUND: Children with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are more likely to develop Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The reverse relationship - ADHD predicting subsequent ACEs - is vastly understudied, although it may be of great relevance to underserved populations highly exposed to ACEs. METHODS: Participants were 5- to 15-year-olds (48% females) with (9.9%) and without ADHD (DSM-IV criteria except age of onset) in a longi…
Parental incarceration during childhood and later delinquent outcomes among Puerto Rican adolescents and young adults in two contexts
OBJECTIVE: Childhood parental incarceration has been linked to increased rates of delinquency and arrest during adolescence and young adulthood; however, previous research has focused on White and/or Black samples rather than Latinx youth. We examined relationships between childhood parental incarceration and later delinquency and arrest among Puerto Rican youth living in Puerto Rico (majority context) and the mainland United States (minority con…
Developmental Trends in Sexual Attraction Among Puerto Rican Early Adolescents in Two Contexts
Sexual attraction (SA), the earliest stage of sexual orientation, is scarcely studied. This prospective study examined, over 3 years, prevalence, changes in SA, and the role of context, among 946 Puerto Rican youth, aged 11–13 years at initial assessment in the South Bronx (SBx), New York City, and Puerto Rico (PR). Overall, 98.1% of boys and 95.3% of girls reported opposite-sex only SA at some point, whereas 13.8% of girls and 12.0% of boys repo…
Childhood Adversity and Pubertal Development Among Puerto Rican Boys and Girls
OBJECTIVE: Evidence stemming largely from retrospective studies suggests that childhood adversity (CA) is associated with earlier age at menarche, a marker of pubertal timing, among girls. Little is known about associations with pubertal tempo among boys or racial/ethnic minorities. We examined the association between CA and timing and tempo of pubertal development among boys and girls. METHODS: The Boricua Youth Study is a longitudinal study of …

Adolescent Substance Use and Other Illegal Behaviors and Racial Disparities in Criminal Justice System Involvement
We used data from a national survey to examine arrest rate disparities between African American and White adolescents (aged 12–17 years; n = 6725) in relation to drug-related and other illegal behaviors. African American adolescents were less likely than Whites to have engaged in drug use or drug selling, but were more likely to have been arrested. Racial disparities in adolescent arrest appear to result from differential treatment of minority yo…
Social and environmental stressors in the home and childhood asthma
BACKGROUND: Both physical environmental factors and chronic stress may independently increase susceptibility to asthma; however, little is known on how these different risks may interact. The authors examined the relationship between maternal intimate partner violence (IPV), housing quality and asthma among children in the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study (N=2013). METHODS: Maternal reports of IPV were obtained after the child's birth a…

The Evolution of Child Rights Councils in Brazil
If it is true that a child rights framework alters our views and actions towards improving children’s lives, it is also true that the breadth of the concept makes concrete implementation difficult. In this paper the expansiveness of the concept is addressed by focusing attention on a community-based model of child-care derived from the Child Rights Legislation in Brazil. Departing from a general view of the child related policies in Brazil, the c…
Exposure to Trauma and Separation Anxiety in Children After the WTC attack
The impact of exposure to the World Trade Center attack on children presenting separation anxiety disorder (SAD) 6 months after the attack was studied in a representative sample of New York City public school students (N = 8,236). Probable SAD occurred in 12.3% of the sample and was more frequent in girls, young children, and children who previously had been exposed to traumatic situations. Probable SAD was highly comorbid with probable posttraum…
