This paper describes the free social media strategies used for participant recruitment in two studies carried out with PL…

Predictors of anxiety and depression among newly diagnosed people living with HIV
This longitudinal study examined whether past resilience and internalized stigma predicted anxiety and depression among newly diagnosed Spanish‐speaking people living with HIV (PLWH). We also analyzed whether coping strategies mediated this relationship. Data were collected at two time points from 119 PLWH. Approximately a third of participants had scores indicative of anxiety symptoms, the same result was found for depressive symptoms. Structura…

Development and Validation of the Adas Scale and Prediction of Attitudes Toward Affective-Sexual Diversity Among Spanish Secondary Students
Violence against non-heterosexual adolescents in educational contexts remains a worrying reality, but no adequate attitudes toward affective-sexual diversity (AtASD) measure exists for Spanish adolescent students.
