Contextualizing the mental health help‐seeking behaviors of Latina college students experiencing suicidal thoughts or behaviors
Latina college students are at a heightened risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs) linked to intersectional stressors such as gendered and racial discrimination. Although many express an openness to help-seeking, they often face barriers to accessing and remaining engaged in formal mental health services and, alternatively, lean more heavily on informal supportive systems such as family members and peers. This qualitative descriptive stu…
A Systematic Review of the Influence of Social Determinants of Health on Mental Health Service Utilization and Outcomes Among Asian American Cancer Survivors
Latent Class Analysis of Household and Community Adversity Among Pre-Adolescent Youth in the United States
The purpose of this study was to: 1) examine the co-occurrence of household and community adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) among preadolescent youth using latent class analysis (LCA), and 2) examine the association of ACE latent clusters to clinical-range scores on the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Data came from the baseline and year 1 survey of the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study with 10,915 youth recruited from schoo…
Suicide Risk and Protective Factors Among Asian American Adults and Older Adults in the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS)
Findings identified significant age and subethnic differences in suicidal ideation. Despite having a lower overall risk, older Asian adults remain susceptible to healthcare discrimination and ongoing mental distress that elevates their risk for suicidality
Enhancing Obstetric Healthcare Providers’ Knowledge of Black Maternal Mental Health
Despite guidelines for screening and treating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), systemic issues and clinician biases often result in unmet mental health needs in Black women. This study assessed the feasibility and impact of comprehensive PMAD training on obstetric healthcare providers' attitudes, knowledge, and implicit racial biases. We conducted a feasibility study with two cohorts of healthcare providers who received either in-per…
Determinants to Tele-Mental Health Services Utilization Among California Adults
To investigate the relationship of predisposing, enabling, need, and immigration-related factors to tele-mental health services utilization among California adults, we conducted a secondary analysis of two waves of the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) collected between 2015 and 2018 (N = 78,345). A series of logistic regression models were conducted to examine correlates and predictors to tele-mental health services use. Approximately 1.…
The Prevalence, Predictors, and Health Consequences of Disagreement in Reports of Child Maltreatment Exposure
The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence, predictors, and consequences of disagreement between prospective caregiver and retrospective child reports of childhood physical and emotional maltreatment. The design was a secondary analysis of data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, a three-decade long UK-based birth cohort. Prospective caregiver reports were in poor to fair agreement with retrospective child repor…
Association of neighborhood gentrification and residential moves with hypertension and diabetes control in Los Angeles County, 2014–2019
Gentrification may support-or at least not harm-cardiometabolic health for some residents. City leaders and health systems could partner with impacted communities to ensure that neighborhood development meets the goals and health needs of all residents and does not exacerbate health disparities

The purpose of this study was to investigate associations between race/ethnicity and COVID-19 vaccine uptake among nurses. METHODS: = 1183) completed a one-time, web-based survey to assess COVID-19 vaccine perceptions and uptake. RESULTS: = 979) received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose.

When Experiencing Inequitable Health Care Is a Patient’s Norm, How Should Iatrogenic Harm Be Considered
Inequitable care and outcomes experienced by persons with mental illness have long been exacerbated by stigma expressed by clinicians. This commentary discusses a case, considers physical and psychological dimensions of iatrogenic harm to patients for whom inequitable health care is the norm, and suggests how psychological iatrogenic harm can be recognized and addressed by clinicians

Geospatial analysis of associations among mental health need, housing need, and involuntary psychiatric hospitalizations of people experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles County
The purpose of this study was to use geospatial indicators of mental health need and homelessness in Los Angeles County Service Planning Areas (SPAs) and a psychiatric sample of adults who were homeless to investigate 1) overlap between SPA level of mental health need and corresponding volume of involuntary psychiatric hospitalizations over time; 2) overlap between SPA level of unsheltered homelessness and corresponding volume of involuntary psyc…
Firearm laws and the network of firearm movement among US states
Restrictive state-level firearm policies are associated with less movement of firearms to other states, but with more movement of firearms from outside states. The effectiveness of state-level firearm-restricting laws is complicated by a network of interstate firearm movement
The impact of gun violence restraining order laws in the U.S. and firearm suicide among older adults
Stricter firearm legislation, as well as GVRO laws, are protective against firearm-relate suicides among older adults
A qualitative needs assessment of human trafficking in Ethiopia
This qualitative needs assessment suggests that trafficking survivors may require professional and community services throughout their trafficking experiences, including medical care, economic and job opportunities, legal advocacy, and mental health services. Interventions should harness preexisting community strengths such as Ethiopia's "social healing system," health extension workers, and mobile technology. Future studies should explore tailor…

Human Trafficking Victim's Service Needs and Outcomes
Victims of human trafficking have extensive needs; however, there are many barriers to seeking and receiving comprehensive services. In order to serve this vulnerable population, collaboration between disciplines must occur
Human Trafficking in Ethiopia
The purpose of this review is to integrate evidence on human trafficking in Ethiopia and identify gaps and recommendations for service delivery, research and training, and policy. A scoping literature review approach was used to systematically search nursing, medical, psychological, law, and international databases and synthesize information on a complex, understudied topic. The search yielded 826 articles, and 39 met the predetermined criteria f…
Service usage typologies in a clinical sample of trauma-exposed adolescents
This study provides new evidence about patterns of service utilization by trauma exposed, treatment seeking adolescents. Most of these adolescents appear to be involved with at least 2 service systems prior to seeking trauma treatment. Higher cumulative exposure to multiple types of trauma was associated with greater service utilization intensity and complexity, but trauma symptomatology was not. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights…
