Mental health of college sex workers
This study explored the impact of developmental and recent traumas on PTSD, anxiety, and depression among a sample of university students ( N = 410), including students who engaged in sex work during college. Using linear and hierarchical regressions, the study examined whether gender-based violence and potentially exploitative activities in college, specifically sexual assault (SA), sex work, sex trafficking, and intimate partner violence (IPV) …
Cultural Socialization and Civic Engagement Among Racially Diverse Students of Color
Understanding the factors that promote civic engagement among emerging adult college students is crucial, especially considering its association with positive youth development. The current study examined ethnic-racial identity (ERI) exploration, resolution, and affirmation as mediators of the relation between cultural socialization and civic engagement. Additionally, the extent to which students were raised in predominantly minoritized neighborh…
Covid-19-Induced Inequalities and Mental Health
Risk, Protective, and Associated Factors of Anxiety and Depressive Symptoms and Campus Health Services Utilization Among Black Men on a College Campus
Moderating Role of Healthcare Disruptions on Friend and Family Pandemic-Related Negative Life Events Predicting Latines’ Anxiety and Alcohol Use Over Time
Coffee and energy drink use patterns in college freshmen
The response pattern was ubiquitous, with ED + Co most likely, Co intermediate, and NoCE least likely to endorse a broad range of substance use, problem alcohol behaviors, and familial risk factors. The finding that the Co group differed from both the ED + Co and NoCE groups on 8 measures and from the NoCE group on one additional measure underscores the importance of looking at coffee in addition to EDs when considering associations between caffe…
Racial Discrimination and Alcohol Problems
Lifetime trauma endorsement, posttraumatic stress disorder, and alcohol dependence as a function of sexual minority status
LGB individuals demonstrate stronger associations between lifetime trauma endorsement and AD, relative to heterosexual counterparts; however, this association may not be accounted for or moderated by nontraumatic LGB discrimination. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
Childhood trauma and distress tolerance in a trauma-exposed acute-care psychiatric inpatient sample
DT may be differentially influenced by different forms of childhood trauma. (PsycINFO Database Record
Emotional Clarity, Anxiety Sensitivity, and PTSD Symptoms Among Trauma-Exposed Inpatient Adolescents
Posttraumatic stress disorder and alcohol dependence
Etiology of PTSD and AD is heterogeneous, and order of onset may reflect differing risk pathways. (PsycINFO Database Record
Trauma and deliberate self-harm among inpatient adolescents
Findings are consistent with theoretical and empirical work suggesting that DSH may be used to reduce emotional distress in the presence of maladaptive cognitive and emotional processes. (PsycINFO Database Record
Trauma exposure and Axis I psychopathology
Broad associations between trauma exposure (TE) and Axis I psychopathology have been noted in the literature. However, it is not clear if TE is directly associated with Axis I disorders or if the relationship is better accounted for by familial factors (i.e., early environment and/or genetic factors). The current investigation used the co-twin control method in a large sample of adult twin pairs from the Norwegian Twin Registry ( N = 2,776), incl…
Anxiety sensitivity as a moderator of the association between premenstrual symptoms and posttraumatic stress disorder symptom severity
Experience of premenstrual symptoms may be an important factor involved in understanding posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom vulnerability. Correlations between PTSD and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) have been identified in epidemiological studies, however, the nature of this relation is not clear. The current study examined the incremental validity of premenstrual symptoms, as well as their interaction with anxiety sensitivity,…
