A Hispanic/Latino Community Health Worker Intervention Addressing Acculturative Stress and Resilience
Reliability and Validity of the Hispanic Stress Inventory 2 – The Abbreviated Immigrant Version of the HSI2
Relationships between acculturative stressors and physiological stress response among Latinx immigrants in the southeastern United States
The results highlight significant associations among acculturative stressors, inflammatory cytokines, and BMI. Further exploration of these relationships can identify key social determinants and mechanisms underlying health inequities, such as those related to obesity and cardiometabolic health. These findings may contribute to the design of more effective health promotion and disease prevention interventions for Latinx immigrant populations

Racial Identity and Health Outcomes in an Emerging Latinx Immigrant Community
Acculturation, acculturative stress, and tobacco/nicotine use of Latin American immigrants
Findings suggest that tobacco/nicotine cessation interventions for Latino immigrants may be enhanced with an emphasis on the mitigation of acculturative stress, attention to the adoption of US cultural practices, and gender. Future research should examine specific sources of acculturative stress or social norms related to tobacco/nicotine use
Determining the role of acculturative stress in predicting mental health service use among Latinx immigrants
These findings support the need for more culturally sensitive mental health services, and the need to develop strategies to engage males and less acculturated individuals in mental health services to promote health equity among Latinx immigrants
Trajectories of physiological stress markers over time among Latinx immigrants in the United States
Comparing individually based and family‐based treatments for internalizing, externalizing, and family symptoms in Latino youth
Rigorous randomized trials that test promising culturally centered treatments for Latino youth and families are needed. This study adds to the knowledge base by comparing the efficacy of Culturally Informed and Flexible Family Treatment for Adolescents (CIFFTA) to an Individually Oriented Treatment‐As‐Usual (ITAU) in its ability to retain Latino youth and families in treatment, reduce internalizing and externalizing child symptoms, and improve fa…
Acculturation Stress, Age at Immigration, and Employment Status as Predictors of Sleep Among Latinx Immigrants
Measuring Hispanic Optimism and Personal Expectancy

This measure assesses beliefs that are shared by Hispanic/Latinx immigrants and non-immigrants about opportunities for advancement in the United States. Based on focus groups consisting of both immigrant and non-immigrant Hispanic/Latinx participants ( n = 93), twenty four (24) items fo…
Multidimensional Acculturation, Acculturative Stress and Alcohol or Drug Use of Adult Latinx Immigrants
Few studies have used a multidimensional acculturation framework, i.e., cultural practices, identity, and values, to investigate links with alcohol or drug use of Latinx immigrants to the U.S. This cross-sectional study tested links between measures of acculturation (language-based Hispanicism and Americanism, cultural identity, familism), acculturative stress, and alcohol or drug use, controlling for age and gender. 391 adult (18-44 years old) L…

A mental health-physical health-violence (MPV) syndemic factor in women with mental disorders
This study extended research on syndemics for women with mental disorders by including self-reported mental and physical health conditions. Syndemics explain complex relationships among co-occurring conditions, and the social circumstances that influence their overlap. Data were from the baseline assessment of a randomized trial of Healthy Home, a nursing home-visit intervention for women with children. 172 adult women who were in mental health o…
Transnational Motherhood
Immigration often results in the separation of families, and in particular transnational parenting, which is the separation of mothers from children. Transnational mothers may have greater risks for poor mental health and behavioral conditions such as substance abuse, violence, sexual risk, and depression. This study was a secondary analysis of self-reported data from 425 Hispanic mothers (328 with no separations, 60 separated from an adult child…
The Influence of Relationship Power and Partner Communication on the Syndemic Factor among Hispanic Women
Self-efficacy for HIV Prevention Among Refugee Hispanic Women in South Florida
Alcohol misuse, depressive symptoms, and HIV/STI risks of US Hispanic women
Interventions to increase condom use for Hispanic women are needed, regardless of mental disorders. Working with Hispanic women with alcohol misuse or depressive symptoms presents a need (and opportunity) to address issues directly related to HIV/STI risk. Women's health practitioners have an excellent opportunity to reach women by implementing regular screening programs in clinics that serve Hispanic women. For women with high depressive symptom…
The contribution of stress, cultural factors, and sexual identity on the substance abuse, violence, HIV, and depression syndemic among Hispanic men

A Latent Profile Analysis Investigating Factors Impacting Latino Adolescents’ Attendance in Treatment
In this study, we examined data from 200 families to investigate whether family functioning and adolescent psychiatric symptomatology were associated with differential attendance in a family-based or individually focused intervention for Latino adolescents. Latent profile analysis was used to identify families, and regression models were used to examine whether profiles exhibited differential attendance. Overall, three latent profiles were observ…
Birthplace, Culture, Self-Esteem, and Intimate Partner Violence Among Community-Dwelling Hispanic Women
The purpose of this study was to explore variations in demographics, culture, self-esteem, and intimate partner violence among Hispanic women according to birthplace, and to identify factors associated with these differences in intimate partner violence (IPV). Baseline data from a randomized control trial testing the efficacy of an HIV prevention program were used. Path analyses identified differences in IPV between Colombian women and women from…
Cultural Phenomena and the Syndemic Factor
Researchers exploring the health of Hispanics in South Florida utilizing a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods have identified that substance abuse, violence, risky sexual behavior, and depression are not only conceptualized as tightly interrelated health and social problems, but also hold together in a measurement model to represent an underlying phenomenon (i.e., the Syndemic Factor). The purpose of this study is to tes…
