Development and refinement of a corner-based injury prevention programme for Latino day labourers
Objective: Latino day labourers (LDLs) in the USA are at increased risk for non-fatal and fatal occupational injuries, which are compounded by stressors that include wage theft, job insecurity and discrimination. This paper describes the development and refinement of Vales+Tú (You are Worthy of More), an injury prevention programme currently being evaluated as part of a cluster randomised trial in which health promotion is taken directly to the '…
Vales + Tú
Latino day laborers (LDL) are a vulnerable population of workers facing considerable risk for occupational injury. Under the guidance of our Community Advisory Board, we developed and tested the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary effects of Vales+Tú (You Are Worth More), a workplace injury risk-reduction program implemented by promotores on street-corners where LDL seek employment. The program was informed by theoretical perspectives emph…
From a Personal Commitment to a Safety Scale
Latino Day Laborers (LDL) experience high rates of occupational injury while navigating worksite hazards without adequate safety equipment or training. As such, LDL implement simple safety behaviors which may not reflect standardized labor safety practices. This study aims to demonstrate the validity of a scale measuring LDL safety practices. A 22-item scale was developed through qualitative analysis of interviews with LDL. We first validated our…

Predicting the Influence of Situational and Immigration Stress on Latino Day Laborers’ Workplace Injuries
Structural Validation and Multiple Group Assessment of the Short Internalized Homonegativity Scale in Homosexual and Bisexual Men in 38 European Countries
Internalized homonegativity (IH) is the internalization of negative attitudes and assumptions about homosexual people by homosexual people themselves. To measure IH, Smolenski, Diamond, Ross, and Rosser (2010) and Ross, Rosser, and Smolenski (2010) revised the Reactions to Homosexuality Scale (RHS) to develop the Short Internalized Homonegativity Scale (SIHS) with eight items. Using the European Men Who Have Sex With Men Internet Survey (EMIS) da…
Community-Based Risk Assessment of Elder Mistreatment and Self-Neglect
Mistreatment and self-neglect among older adults are linked to significantly high mortality rates, but research in this area is hindered by a lack of standardized assessments to identify these circumstances. No available assessment has been tested for construct validity (CV) or measurement invariance (MI) across gender or race/ethnicities. This study presents the CV and MI properties of a comprehensive assessment of elder mistreatment (EM) and se…
Working the Pony
We present a model of the drinking practices of Latina immigrants who work in bars or cantinas and are compensated for drinking 8 oz beer or ponies with customers, hence working the pony. A total of 358 women recruited from 61 randomly selected cantinas were interviewed as part of a community study conducted in a metropolitan area in the U.S. Southwest. Participants reported drinking an average of 21 beers on nights they worked for ponies. Multip…
An assessment of brief group interventions to increase condom use by heterosexual crack smokers living with HIV infection
The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of brief group interventions, the positive choices intervention (PCI) and a standard intervention (SI), to increase condom use and intention to use condoms and to change condom use attitudes and beliefs. The design of the study was a randomized comparative trial. Participants were 347 heterosexual African American crack cocaine users living with HIV infection. Data were collected at intake and …
Revision, Criterion Validity, and Multigroup Assessment of the Reactions to Homosexuality Scale
Internalized homonegativity encompasses negative attitudes toward one's own sexual orientation and is associated with negative mental and physical health outcomes. The Reactions to Homosexuality Scale (Ross & Rosser, 1996 Ross, M. W. and Rosser, B. R. S. 1996. Measurement and correlates of internalized homophobia: A factor analytic study. Journal of Clinical Psychology, 52: 15–21. [Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]), an i…
Gender relations and sexual communication among female students in the Mekong River Delta of Vietnam
Young women's ability to pursue a safer-sex life in line with their wishes is crucial to their sexual health. Although some previous observations have suggested that young women's lack of ability to negotiate safer sex is due to gender power imbalances in the culture of Vietnam, studies that have tested this hypothesis explicitly and quantitatively are few and far between. The present study aimed to test the association between perceived gender r…
Psychiatric disorders, HIV infection and HIV/hepatitis co-infection in the correctional setting
Psychiatric disorders such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and depression have long been associated with risk behaviors for HIV, hepatitis C virus (HCV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV). The US prison population is reported to have elevated rates of HIV, hepatitis and most psychiatric disorders. This study examined the association of six major psychiatric disorders with HIV mono-infection, HIV/HCV co-infection and HIV/HBV co-infection in one of the…
Measurement of prison social climate
We review and describe prison climate measurement studies. We compared the factor patterns and stability from three domains of the Prison Social Climate survey (PSC) (Environmental quality of life; Personal well-being; and Safety and security). Stability was compared using randomly split halves of inmate responses from 10 selected US federal prison samples ( n = 950): there were no significant differences. Factor patterns on the same instrument w…
Psychosocial and demographic predictors of fruit, juice and vegetable consumption among 11–14-year-old Boy Scouts
Objective Psychosocial and demographic correlates of fruit, juice and vegetable (FJV) consumption were investigated to guide how to increase FJV intake. Design Hierarchical multiple regression analysis of FJV consumption on demographics and psychosocial variables. Setting Houston, Texas, USA. Subjects Boys aged 11–14 years ( n = 473). Results FJV preference and availability were both significant predictors of FJV consumption, controlling for demo…
Baseline predictors of three types of antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence
The purposes of the study were to measure adherence with antiretroviral therapy to dose, schedule, and dietary instructions in a sample of patients with HIV infection in Stockholm, Sweden, over a 2-year period and identify baseline predictors of the three types of adherence. The study cohort consists of 144 patients who completed at least six out of seven follow-up self-reported adherence questionnaires. Baseline self-administrated questionnaire …
Condom use self‐efficacy among U.S.‐ and foreign‐born Latinos in Texas
The objective of this study was to assess the influence of condom use self-efficacy on the reported condom use of Latinos. We conducted a rapid needs assessment study among U.S. and foreign-born Latinos living in Houston, TX, to identify behavioral and psychosocial factors that influence their risk for HIV. Bilingual Latino interviewers conducted confidential face-to-face interviews with individuals living in apartment complexes or residential ar…

Ethnicity and negative symptoms in patients with schizophrenia
The purpose of this study was to assess ethnic differences in the negative symptom profile of 25 Anglo American and 26 Mexican American subjects with schizophrenia. Subjects were rated at the end of a 1-2-week medication washout period (time 1) and at discharge (time 2) with the Negative Symptoms Assessment (NSA), Brief Psychiatric Research Scale, (BPRS), the [Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th edition)] DSM-IV negative fa…
