Addressing Gaps in Mental Health Policy
Demographic and Covid-19-Related Factors Associated with Depressive and Anxiety Symptoms Among African American and Latina Women in a Midwestern State
Covid-19-Related Risk, Resilience, and Mental Health Among Mexican American Mothers Across the First Year of the Pandemic
BACKGROUND: Latina mothers have been especially affected by the pandemic and historically exhibit high rates of depression and anxiety. However, few longitudinal studies have assessed the effect of the pandemic on this vulnerable population. We hypothesized that COVID-19-related stressors would associate with psychological distress among Latina mothers across the first year of the pandemic. METHODS: We investigated COVID-19-related impact, stigma…
Associations between Self-Rated Health and Perinatal Depressive and Anxiety Symptoms among Latina Women
Healthcare practitioners should assess changes in SRH ratings to identify risks for prenatal depressive and anxiety symptoms among Latinas, who have elevated rates of depressive and anxiety symptoms compared to non-Hispanic White women. Policymakers should provide healthcare providers with mental health resources to support at-risk Latinas during the prenatal period
Prenatal Depressive Symptoms, Self-Rated Health, and Diabetes Self-Efficacy
Understanding the role of clinical care settings can help inform when and how SRH mediates that association between prenatal depressive symptoms and self-efficacy in diabetic patients
Advancing Health Equity through Inclusive and Equitable Publication Practices at Women's Health Issues
Recommendations for Clinical Practice, Research, and Policy to Address the Effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Anxiety Symptoms in Immigrant and U.S.-Born Latina Mothers
Perinatal Anxiety Symptoms
Anxiety during pregnancy and after childbirth can have negative consequences for a woman and her baby. Despite growing interest in the perinatal mental health of Mexican women living in the U.S., perinatal anxiety symptom (PAS) rates and risk factors have yet to be established for women in Mexico. We sought to determine PAS rates and identify risk factors, including the traditional female role (TFR) in a sample of Mexican women. This secondary da…
The Price of Pre-adolescent Abuse
Exploring the Role of Depressive Symptoms, Service Members, and Spousal Demographic Characteristics on Military Spousal Employment
Military spouses, most of whom are women, often contend with a number of factors that can influence their employment status. Previous studies have examined the role of service-member and spousal demographic characteristics on wives' employment. However, little is known about the role spousal mental health has on employment while controlling for demographic characteristics. Using repeated-measures logistic regressions, this longitudinal study expl…
Pilot Study Exploring Migration Experiences and Perinatal Depressive and Anxiety Symptoms in Immigrant Latinas
Increasing Diagnosis and Treatment of Perinatal Depression in Latinas and African American Women
Perinatal Depression, Adverse Life Events, and Hypothalamic–Adrenal–Pituitary Axis Response to Cold Pressor Stress in Latinas
The Feasibility of Recruiting and Retaining Perinatal Latinas in a Biomedical Study Exploring Neuroendocrine Function and Postpartum Depression
A Biopsychosocial Conceptual Framework of Postpartum Depression Risk in Immigrant and U.S.-born Latina Mothers in the United States
Perinatal Depression Treatment Preferences Among Latina Mothers
The study described here was designed to determine treatment preferences among Latinas to identify treatment options that meet their needs and increase their engagement. Focus group interviews were conducted with 22 prenatal and postpartum Latinas at risk for depression. The group interviews were conducted in Spanish and English using a standardized interview protocol. Focus group transcripts were analyzed to identify themes regarding perinatal d…
Latino youth's internalising behaviours
OBJECTIVES: Latinos are the fastest-growing immigrant group in the U.S.A. Yet, little is known about the emotional well-being of this population, such as the links among family, neighbourhood context and Latino immigrant youth mental health. Understanding this link will help determine which contexts negatively impact Latino immigrant youth mental health. DESIGN: Drawing data from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighbourhoods collecte…
A Mixed-Method Approach to Understanding the Experiences of Non-Deployed Military Caregivers
Activity settings and daily routines in preschool classrooms
Children on the Homefront
OBJECTIVE: Although studies have begun to explore the impact of the current wars on child well-being, none have examined how children are doing across social, emotional, and academic domains. In this study, we describe the health and well-being of children from military families from the perspectives of the child and nondeployed parent. We also assessed the experience of deployment for children and how it varies according to deployment length and…
