Barriers and Facilitators to Accessing Mental Health Supports Among Black Perinatal Women
Advancing mental health equity through adapting an evidence-based traumatic stress intervention to address racial trauma
As research consistently documents the harm from racial trauma and limited access to mental health supports for Black youth, it is imperative to develop and implement accessible and relevant interventions. This study addressed a gap in existing interventions with an iterative process that centers the experiences of Black youth exposed to racial trauma. The response to the adapted intervention indicates HEART is a promising approach to reduce ment…
A global scoping review of task shifting and sharing interventions to improve the mental health of people living with HIV/Aids
People living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH) often experience co-morbid/co-occurring mental health conditions, e.g., depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In resource-limited settings, where provider shortages are common, task shifting and task sharing (i.e., service delivery by non-professionals) are recommended strategies to promote access to and utilization of mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) services among PLWH. …
Safety Net Programs as Primary Prevention Against Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) in the United States
We examine access to U.S. welfare programs-Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)-as primary prevention strategies against adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Using the University of Kentucky's National Welfare Data and National Survey of Children's Health (2016-2022), we estimate two-way fixed effects models linking state-level access rates to child-level ACE incidence. TANF access p…
Economic insecurity and depression among youth of color during the Covid-19 pandemic
Although the pandemic intensified acute stressors, these findings highlight deeper, long-standing structural inequities that contribute to the mental health challenges of youth of color and remain relevant in the post-pandemic period. The personal salience of COVID-related financial strain may have had a particularly strong psychological link during this period. Accordingly, we discuss implications for clinical, community, and policy intervention…
Together we are stronger”
Latinx adolescents, representing 25% of the U.S. child population, face significant mental health challenges due to aggressive immigration enforcement and policies rooted in racism, nativism, and ethnocentrism. These systemic issues contribute to increased rates of sadness, hopelessness, and suicidal behaviors among Latinx adolescents. Addressing this crisis requires interventions that mitigate the harms of these policies and promote youth voice …
Just Being Connected, It's Like a Way of Resisting
Over the last decade, a range of research has demonstrated the detrimental impacts of policies criminalizing migration (“crimmigration”) on Latinx mental health. In this study, we seek to examine youth perspectives on how crimmigration policies affect Latinx adolescents' connections to Latinx identity, culture, and communities and the implications for Latinx youth mental health. We explored how immigration enforcement policies affect Latinx youth…
“There’s room to do more”
Introduction Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a risk factor for homicides and suicides. As poverty is both a predictor and a consequence of IPV, interventions that alleviate poverty-related stressors could mitigate IPV-related harms. Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), a monthly cash assistance program, is one such potential intervention. In the state of Georgia, the TANF diversion program, which provides a non-recurrent lump-sum pa…
“I Can Never Feel Safe”
Increasingly, immigration policies are understood as structural determinants, rooted in racism, nativism, and ethnocentrism, which raise serious public health concerns for Latinx adolescents’ mental health. Our objective was to examine how immigration policy enforcement affects mental health of Latinx youth raised in a county with an aggressive interior immigration enforcement program. From 2009 to 2021, Gwinnett County, GA, led the nation in dep…
A mixed methods evaluation of family-driven care implementation in juvenile justice agencies in Georgia
Contextual determinants of family-driven care implementation in juvenile justice settings
INTRODUCTION: Engaging families in behavioral health services is a high priority for juvenile justice (JJ) systems and family advocacy groups. Family-driven care (FDC) enhances family engagement and decision-making power in youth behavioral health services, ultimately, improving youth and family mental health and substance abuse outcomes. Despite the benefits, there is limited guidance on how to integrate FDC into behavioral health care within th…
Migration-related trauma and PTSD among Latinx parents in the southeast during Covid-19

Understanding adaptive responses to adversity
Research on resilience and posttraumatic growth (PTG) has significantly advanced our understanding of human adaptability to adversity, reflecting a widespread belief in the United States that such adaptability is commonplace. However, recent studies have highlighted conceptual and methodological limitations in these fields. These limitations call into question the credibility of existing research and underscore the need for multidisciplinary pers…
Facing a dual threat
BACKGROUND: Exclusionary immigration policies rooted in structural racism threaten the wellbeing of Latinx families, increasing stress, anxiety, depression, and distress among immigrant parents. The COVID-19 pandemic has had devastating and disproportionate impacts on communities of color with unique impacts on Latinx immigrant parents in mixed-status families. AIMS: From a syndemic theory lens, we explored the convergence of structural racism an…

Developing practices for hospital-based violence intervention programs to address anti-Black racism and historical trauma
To promote health equity among Black youth exposed to community violence, it is critical that psychologists partner with other health care professionals and communities with lived experience to explicitly address anti-Black racism and historical trauma as fundamental contributors to violence-related health inequities. This article describes our community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach to develop practices for hospital-based violence…

Women’s Lived Experiences with Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (Tanf)
Women experiencing poverty are more likely to face intimate partner violence (IPV), poor health, and stigma. IPV survivors are overrepresented among those who receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), a conditional cash program serving families experiencing poverty. More generous TANF policies may be protective against IPV, but a greater insight into TANF's effect could be gleaned through a contemporaneous study that examines inters…
Identifying research Participation effects through qualitative methods
Research participation effects (RPEs)—effects due to study design rather than study intervention—have long been acknowledged as a research phenomenon. Identifying RPEs is crucial to understanding the true effects of an intervention and outcomes may change during dissemination. Few researchers systematically identify the potential role of RPEs on their research findings, despite recent calls to capture these effects. This study demonstrates the ut…
