Objectives To evaluate the effectiveness of the Weaving Healthy Families (WHF) program in reducing alcohol and substance use among U.S. Indigenous adults and youth, addressing health disparities and premature mortality driven by alcohol misuse. Design setting A longitudinal dynamic, open cohort stepped-wedge trial conducted in U.S. Indigenous communities, grounded in over a decade of community-based participatory research (CBPR) and Indigenous kn…
An indigenous interpretation of self-determination in service of relational wellness
Signers of the 2007 United Nations (U.N.) Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, including Canada and the United States (U.S.), have committed to protecting the rights of Indigenous peoples including the right to self-determination. First Peoples Nations of Canada and the U.S. have been granted self-determination rights, but often these rights have limitations when it comes to ensuring quality mental health care for their peoples. Self-…
Covid-19-related effects on alcohol and other Drug use among indigenous peoples
Indigenous peoples in the United States have been disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 global pandemic. Using the framework for historical oppression, resilience, and transcendence (FHORT), the present research study recounted the lived experiences of a group of 31 Indigenous women from a tribe located in the southeastern region of the United States regarding alcohol and other drug (AOD) use during the COVID-19 pandemic. Three major themes…
Content analysis of perceptions of substance-use treatment among American Indian people who have used opioids
Findings should be taken into consideration when establishing and designing substance-use treatment for AI people who have used opioids to ensure appropriate accessibility, feasibility, and implementation concerns are addressed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved)
Decolonial psychology
Western sciences have been interpreted through the hierarchical and reductionist lenses of colonial cultures that have historically excluded other cultural interpretations of science. Decolonizing psychology requires cultural models inherently antithetical to colonial assumptions that advance scientific hierarchies and reductionism. Indigenous psychologies operate from a relational worldview that sees inherent connectivity and respects that relat…
Indigenous and Native American Perspectives on Mental Health and Well-Being
The current Special Issue focuses on the Indigenous and Native American perspectives on mental health and well-being. This introduction highlights the need to explore how psychological health is conceptualized and operationalized among this population and the ways in which their mental health needs can be better met. The article also provides a brief review of each of the articles in the Special Issue
Promoting New Psychological Understandings by Use of an Indigenous American Psychological Paradigm
Indigenous Americans are not well represented by mainstream psychology and its reductionistic tenets. As psychology developed, it could not help but to be implicitly biased by the surrounding hierarchical colonial culture—a culture in which Indigenous people and many others were conquered, oppressed, dehumanized, devalued, neglected, and excluded. An Indigenous worldview views humans as co-equal partners of an interdependent holistic system. Stri…
Colonialism and the Covid-19 Pandemic
A New Psychology Based on Community, Equality, and Care of the Earth
A biographical encyclopedia of American and British Christian-themed writers from World War II to the present, covering acclaimed literary works and popular evangelical fiction. Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Fiction: From C.S. Lewis to Left Behind spans the entire breadth of Christian-themed British and American writing from World War II to the present-well-known and less familiar authors, acclaimed literary novels, and popular writing i…
Negative life events and incident alcohol use disorders among ethnic minorities
The association of negative life events (NLEs) with incident alcohol use disorders (AUDs) was examined among Blacks, Hispanics, and Whites in the second wave of the National Comorbidity Survey (NCS) among 3,679 participants without AUDs at the first wave. The number of past-year NLEs at NCS-2 was higher for Black than White participants, but the rates of incident AUDs did not differ by racial/ethnic group (14.2% among all participants). Past-year…
Partnering with Native Communities to Develop a Culturally Grounded Intervention for Substance Use Disorder
Studies have documented serious disparities in drug and alcohol‐related morbidity and mortality among American Indians and Alaska Natives ( AI / AN s) compared to other ethnic groups in the U.S. despite high rates of abstinence in these groups. Further complicating these health disparities are barriers to accessing evidence‐based treatments that are culturally appropriate and acceptable. As part of a research program to promote health equity in r…
Understanding the link between racial trauma and substance use among American Indians
Historians and scholars from various disciplines have documented the pervasive influence of racism on American society and culture, including effects on the health and well-being of American Indian (AI) people. Among the many health problems affected by racial discrimination and oppression, both historical and current, are substance use disorders. Epidemiological studies have documented greater drug and alcohol-related morbidity and mortality amo…
Applicant responses to diversity selection criteria in academic staff position descriptions
Diversifying the academic staff may improve access and participation for underrepresented students; a policy of diversity selection criteria in academic staff position descriptions may advance this goal. This study examined applications to academic staff positions with diversity selection criteria to characterise applicants' responses to such criteria, and the diversity of applicant pools. The 454 applications to 11 research and teaching academic…
The privilege and burden of peer review
Ethnic minority reviewers were significantly less likely to refuse a review request than ethnic majority reviewers. Results are discussed in terms of perceived pressure to demonstrate scholastic impact and the disproportionate service burden often borne by ethnic minority psychologists
Defining diversity
A desirable societal goal may not imply a common understanding of that goal. As organizations seek to foster inclusion through a focus on diversity, understanding the operational definition employed by stakeholders becomes important. This study focuses on how candidates applying for employment address their diversity-related qualifications when specifically asked to do so. A model-driven qualitative coding system is used to characterize the diver…
Ethnic Identity, Drinking Motives, and Alcohol Consequences Among Alaska Native and Non-Native College Students
This research involves the examination of drinking motives, alcohol consequences, and ethnic identity in a sample of Native and non-Native college student drinkers in Alaska. Although more Alaska Native students are abstinent from alcohol compared to any other ethnic group, Native students who do drink experience greater alcohol consequences and dependence symptoms. Therefore, we attempted to examine the influence of ethnic identity on alcohol co…
Diversity statements
The purpose of the present study was to examine application materials for assistant professor positions in 3 academic disciplines. Applicants were asked to write a diversity statement describing how they would advance diversity through their research, teaching, and service. The sample included application materials submitted by 191 candidates for tenure-track faculty positions at a public research university in computer science, political science…
Seeking the middle way
G. Alan Marlatt's research and other professional efforts have profoundly influenced the science and practice of harm reduction. Marlatt's balanced placebo drinking research challenged prevailing attitudes about the loss of control and illustrated the potency of beliefs in predicting drinking behavior. His courageous defense of the Sobells during the controlled drinking controversy was a first step toward legitimizing harm reduction goals. His ha…
The relationship of microaggressions with alcohol use and anxiety among ethnic minority college students in a historically White institution
Little is known about how microaggressions may impact the health and mental health of college students of color attending historically White universities. In this study, students provided self-report of the number of racial and ethnic microaggressions they had experienced over the previous month, as well as data on anxiety symptoms (Beck Anxiety Inventory), alcohol consumption (Daily Drinking Questionnaire) and consequences (Rutgers Alcohol Probl…
Examining Drinking Consequences and Reasons for Drinking in a Bilingual College Sample
College drinking behavior is a national public health concern. However, little research has been conducted to test the psychometric validity and reliability of alcohol use measures among Spanish-speaking Hispanic college students. Adopting a translation-back-translation approach, the Rutgers Alcohol Problem Index (RAPI) was translated into Spanish and the Razones del Consumo de Alcohol (RCA), a newly created measure of one’s reasons for drinking,…
Religious coping and psychological functioning in a correctional population
The objective of this study was to examine main and interactive relationships between religious upbringing and coping (spirituality, participation, pleading, and discontentment), and mental health outcomes (depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, somatization, and hostility) among 305 incarcerated adults. Using hierarchical linear regression controlling for demographic variables and stressful life events, several significant relationships emerged.…

Beliefs About Drinking Behavior Predict Drinking Consequences
Cognitions about drinking, such as positive expectancies and self-efficacy, have been found to profoundly influence drinking behavior. Although the relationship of self-efficacy and positive expectancies with drinking consumption has been established, the relationship of self-efficacy and alcohol expectancies with the number of reported drinking related consequences has not been examined. One hundred thirteen participants who met criteria for alc…
Integrating Harm Reduction Therapy and Traditional Substance Abuse Treatment
One-size-fits-all therapy has not worked well for a majority of substance users seeking help. New approaches to substance abuse treatment are desperately needed. Traditional models of service delivery offer little, if any, help to people who may not choose abstinence as a goal. To address this concern, the Bridging the Gap Conference was sponsored by the San Francisco Department of Public Health. The overall goals of the conference were to improv…
Brief Intervention for Heavy-Drinking College Students
Objectives. This study examined long-term response to an individual preventive intervention for high-risk college drinkers relative to the natural history of college drinking. Methods. A single-session, individualized preventive intervention was evaluated within a randomized controlled trial with college freshmen who reported drinking heavily while in high school. An additional group randomly selected from the entire screening pool provided a nor…

Neurocognitive Dysfunction in Dually-Diagnosed Patients
Substance abuse has been associated with cognitive dysfunction, such as problems with attention, reasoning, and memory. Certain psychiatric disorders also have been associated with cognitive difficulties, thus placing dually-diagnosed patients at high risk for cognitive impairment that could interfere with successful entry into or completion of therapy. Twenty-two dually-disordered inpatients were administered the Brief Readiness to Change Questi…
