Resilience and adversity among older Pacific Islanders in Southern California
Sleep Duration and Chronic Disease Among Older Native Hawaiians or Other Pacific Islanders and Asians
Community-Based Recruitment Strategies for Young Adult Pacific Islanders into a Randomized Community Smoking Cessation Trial
Community-based participatory research approaches not only inform the design of culturally tailored intervention recruitment material and strategies, but also result in innovative solutions to recruitment challenges to address the National Cancer Institute's gaps in science regarding small populations
Exploring mediation pathways on the relationship between acculturation and binge eating among Latino adolescents
An Examination of Family Variables as Mediators of the Association of Acculturation With Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Consumption Among Latinx Adolescents
The objective of this study was to examine the mediating effects of family support for dietary habits and family meal frequency on the relationship between acculturation and sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption among Latinx adolescents (N = 131). Acculturation was positively associated with SSB consumption ( B = 0.07, P < .01). Results suggest that family support for dietary habits and family meal frequency did not mediate the relationship …
Coping strategies and stress among resettled Bhutanese adults in Massachusetts
0003) engagement coping strategies were inversely associated with PSS. Greater use of problem- or emotion-focused engagement coping strategies was associated with reduced PSS among Bhutanese, suggesting that problem-focused or emotion-focused stress management interventions hold promise for stress reduction among resettled Bhutanese.

Access and utilization of mental health services among Pacific Islanders
Development of an Online Smoking Cessation Curriculum for Pacific Islanders
Use of CBPR is critical in the development of the curriculum because it allowed for the sharing of ideas and knowledge between academics and community members
Network Structure, Multiplexity, and Evolution as Influences on Community‐based Participatory Interventions
This study applies an ecological perspective to the context of community‐based participatory research (CBPR). Specifically, it examines how endogenous and exogenous factors influence the dynamics of CBPR partnerships, including the tendency toward reciprocity and transitivity, the organizational type, the level of resource sufficiency, the level of organizational influence, and the perceived CBPR effect on organizations. The results demonstrate t…
Concurrent and Predictive Relationships Between Compulsive Internet Use and Substance Use
While CIU was found to be related to substance use, the relationship was not consistently positive. More longitudinal studies with better measures for Internet Addiction are needed to ascertain the detailed relationship between Internet addiction and substance use
Relative income inequality and selected health outcomes in urban Chinese youth
Role of risk and protective factors in risky sexual behavior among high school students in Cambodia
The findings suggest the importance of considering gender-related differences in the effects of risk and protective factors when designing and implementing prevention programs. In interventions for both male and female adolescents, prevention of substance use and risky sexual behavior should be integrated. For boys, efforts should focus on the reduction of peer delinquency, while, for girls, improvement of family support should be emphasized
Understanding the Effect of Social Capital on the Depression of Urban Chinese Adolescents
Using data from an ongoing longitudinal study of 5,164 adolescents and their parents from seven cities in mainland China, this study investigated how social capital embedded in the family and the community, together with family human capital and financial capital, influenced the depressive symptoms of urban Chinese adolescents within an integrative framework. The structural equation modeling results suggested that higher community social capital …
A Network Assessment of Community-Based Participatory Research
Objectives. We sought to determine whether a community-based initiative designed to reduce cancer disparities among Pacific Islanders in Southern California increased communications between community-based organizations and university researchers. Methods. We conducted network analysis among 11 community-based organizations (CBOs) and 5 universities by interviewing 91 and 56 members of these organizations, respectively, at 2 points in time. We es…
Socio-demographic and Economic Correlates of Overweight Status in Chinese Adolescents
Weight Perception, Academic Performance, and Psychological Factors in Chinese Adolescents
Project FLAVOR
To evaluate a multicultural smoking prevention curriculum, 16 schools were randomized to receive the multicultural curriculum or a standard curriculum and program effects on 1-year smoking initiation among 1430 never smokers were assessed. Hispanic boys who received the multicultural curriculum were less likely to initiate smoking than were those who received the standard curriculum; effects were insignificant among other groups. The prevention e…
Evaluating transdisciplinary science
The past two decades have seen a growing interest and investment in transdisciplinary research teams and centers. The Transdisciplinary Tobacco Use Research Centers (TTURCs) exemplify large-scale scientific collaborations undertaken for the explicit purpose of promoting novel conceptual and methodological integrations bridging two or more fields. Until recently, few efforts have been made to evaluate the collaborative processes, and the scientifi…
Cultural values and substance use in a multiethnic sample of California adolescents
As the U.S. becomes increasingly multicultural, traditional values from various cultures will influence health-related attitudes and behaviors for a greater number of adolescents in the U.S. Unfortunately, few scales exist to measure cultural influences on adolescent health behaviors. This study developed a Multiethnic Cultural Values Scale to assess some cultural attitudes and beliefs relevant to adolescent health behaviors. In a multiethnic sam…
The Ahimsa Acculturation Scale
Acculturation has been associated with adolescent health-risk behaviors. Most acculturation scales are inappropriate for adolescent surveys because they are too long, are not applicable to differing ethnic groups, or are language-based only. A brief, multidimensional, multicultural acculturation measure for adolescents was developed. Sixthgrade students (N = 317) in Los Angeles completed that scale and other measures of acculturation. The Accultu…
