Engaging Hispanic Men in HIV Prevention and Care Through Father-Son Initiatives: A Pilot Study
Hispanic men in the United States, especially recent immigrants, are disproportionately affected by HIV and less likely to be reached by preventive interventions. This pilot study assessed: (a) the acceptability of engaging these men in the HIV Prevention and Care Continuum through father-son initiatives; and (b) their HIV prevention and mental health needs. Ethnographic methods identified high-HIV-incidence areas in Miami, focusing on venues fre…
The Importance of Motivations for Emigration in Understanding Post-Migration Mental Health Outcomes Among Diasporic Venezuelans in the United States and Colombia
Since 2015, over seven million Venezuelans have left their home country, with significant numbers resettling in the United States and Colombia. The aim of the present study was to examine the primary motivations for migration among Venezuelans relocating to these two countries, and to assess whether these motivations were associated with their destination choice. Additionally, we explored how migration motivations were linked to mental health out…
Associations of emotional, physical and sexual abuse with network centrality in a population of Latina seasonal farmworkers
By understanding how women from an undeserved population who have experienced these forms of abuse are linked through their friendship network structures, interventionalists can better identify the role of intimate partner violence in HIV/STD risk reduction interventions, targeted reproductive health approaches, and empower women to report abuse. Network visualizations can be used in process evaluations by informing how to restructure network con…
Using Family Needs Assessments to Guide Place‐Based Services for Vulnerable Families: Lessons From the Covid‐19 Pandemic
The COVID‐19 pandemic created significant health, social and economic impacts, disproportionately affecting minority, immigrant and low‐income communities. Agencies were challenged to rapidly address emerging needs, yet most operated on anecdotal information. This paper describes a community‐informed family needs assessment in Miami, Florida, during November 2020–March 2021. It was conducted by a nonprofit agency collaborating with a university. …

Public health change agents need critical competencies to confront today and tomorrow's leading problems including leadership, communication, interprofessional practice, and systems thinking. The context challenges in public health education: Public Health training programs teac…
EHealth Familias Unidas: Pilot Study of an Internet Adaptation of an Evidence-Based Family Intervention to Reduce Drug Use and Sexual Risk Behaviors Among Hispanic Adolescents
This paper describes the Internet adaptation of an evidenced-based intervention for Hispanic families, eHealth Familias Unidas, and explores whether an Internet-based format is feasible and acceptable to Hispanic families. Core intervention components from the evidence-based intervention, Familias Unidas, were transposed into a video format and edited for content. Additionally, interactive exercises and a soap opera series were incorporated to re…
Associations between neighborhood socioeconomic environment and physical activity in Cuban immigrants
Physical inactivity is a major public health concern because it is a determinant of obesity and obesity-related chronic diseases. Few longitudinal studies have examined the association between neighborhood socioeconomic (SES) environment and change in physical activity behaviors. Additionally, few studies have examined this association in immigrant groups or Hispanic subgroups such as Cubans. This research aimed to determine if neighborhood SES i…
The Relationship of Perceived Neighborhood Social Climate to Walking in Hispanic Older Adults: A Longitudinal, Cross-Lagged Panel Analysis
Perceptions of a more positive neighborhood social environment may promote walking in urban, older Hispanics

Receiving too much instrumental support was related to sedentary behavior among depressed older adults
Longitudinal relationships between neighboring behavior and depressive symptoms in Hispanic older adults in Miami, Florida
This study examines the relationship between neighboring behavior and depressive symptoms across 3 years in a prospective study of 273 community‐dwelling, Hispanic older adults in Miami, Florida. The analyses extend the literature by testing for a bidirectional or reciprocal relationship between neighboring behavior and depressive symptoms over time and examining the relationship between these variables in Hispanic older adults, a group at risk o…

Low-income African American women's attempts to convince their main partner to use condoms
In this cross-sectional study the authors examine condom use attempts and condom use among 305 high-risk, low-income African American women who reported having a main partner. Women who had recently attempted to convince their main partner to use condoms were almost 10 times more likely to have recently used condoms with their partner than women who had not made an attempt. Among the subsample of 116 women who had recently made a condom use attem…
Predictors of HIV Testing and Intention to Test Among Hispanic Farmworkers in South Florida
CONTEXT AND PURPOSE: This study examined the predictors of HIV testing and factors associated with intention to accept a free HIV test among 244 Hispanic migrant/seasonal farmworkers in South Florida. METHODS: Time and space sampling procedures were used to recruit participants in public venues. Bilingual staff interviewed eligible respondents in these settings. FINDINGS: Despite high rates of sexual risk, only 21% of respondents had been tested …
Club Drug Use, Sexual Behavior, and HIV Risk Among Community and Internet Samples of Hispanic MSM: Implications for Clinicians
Hispanic men who have sex with men (MSM) are at high risk of HIV infection. This study reports on the club drug use and sexual behaviors of two distinct samples (community and Internet) of Hispanic MSM living in the AIDS epicenter of Miami-Dade County. Both samples reported high rates of unprotected anal sex and high numbers of sex partners; rates of club drug use (cocaine, ecstasy, methamphetamines, GHB, amyl nitrites, and Viagra) were also high…
The Internet as recruitment tool for HIV studies: Viable strategy for reaching at-risk Hispanic MSM in Miami
Although use of the Internet as a vehicle for HIV/STI research is increasing, its viability to recruit at-risk populations such as Hispanic men who have sex with men (HMSM) to participate in community-based HIV studies is in its infancy. We report on the first 171 participants enrolled in an ongoing study exploring use of the Internet to recruit Hispanic men who have sex with men (HMSM) living in Miami-Dade County, Florida to participate in commu…

To test or not to test: Are Hispanic men at highest risk for HIV getting tested
This study examined how HIV testing history and future testing intentions were related to sexual risk and perceptions of risk in a community sample of 1,052 Hispanic men. This sample is noteworthy in its diverse representation of Hispanics, its high ratio of participants born outside the USA, and its inclusion of heterosexuals and men who have sex with men (MSM). We used area-based sampling to recruit participants at public venues. Data were coll…
