Relationship between family conflict and cohesion and the internalizing and externalizing behaviors of adolescents
Associations between Chronicity of Childhood Maltreatment and Late Adolescent Mental Health and Risk Behaviors
There is consistent evidence demonstrating adverse outcomes for maltreated youth. However, a more nuanced understanding is needed that outlines the ways in which the various attributes of childhood maltreatment experiences such as type (i.e., sexual abuse [SA], physical abuse [PA], emotional abuse [EA], and physical neglect [PN]) and timing (e.g., chronicity, age of onset, duration) may differentially relate to deleterious consequences later in l…

Maltreatment type differences in cortisol stress response trajectories across adolescence
This study examined cortisol stress response trajectories across adolescence in 454 maltreated and comparison youth recruited from Los Angeles County between 2002 and 2005 (66.7% maltreated; 46.7% girls; 39.0% Latino; 37.7% Black; 12.3% Mixed or Biracial; 11.0% White; Mage = 10.9 years, SD = 1.2). Adolescents' peak activation and cortisol reactivity and recovery slopes following the Trier Social Stress Test for Children were calculated at four wa…

Trends in firearm injury in a southern California health care system from 2010 to 2020
There was an increasing trend in firearm injuries between 2010 and 2020 among adults in this large integrated healthcare system, primarily driven by non-self-inflicted firearm injuries; however, self-inflicted injuries decreased during this time. Injuries among youth showed no significant change
Parental Depression and Adulthood Adversities as Mediators of Direct Versus Indirect Intergenerational Experiences of Child Maltreatment
Effect of Caregiver Depressive Symptoms on the Concordance Between Caregiver and Youth Assessment of Youth Physical Health
Associations between psychosocial functioning and physical health in youth with maltreatment experiences
Associations Between Off-line Social Functioning and Online Social Network Interactions Among Emerging Adults
Communication through social networking platforms is central to the social experience of today’s emerging adults. In this study, we examined associations between emerging adults’ off-line social functioning (i.e., social skills and social anxiety) and online interactions on the social networking platform Facebook. A novel Facebook application was developed to systematically capture Facebook interactions of 92 students (59% female; M age = 18.57 y…
Body appreciation and body dissatisfaction between maltreated and comparison adolescents
How the structure of egocentric Facebook networks is associated with exposure to risky content for maltreated versus comparison youth
Expanding our understanding of intergenerational exposure to adversity

Predictors and correlates of unstable housing experiences among a child welfare-involved sample
The study examined whether youth demographics, family factors, and maltreatment type were related to unstable housing and whether unstable housing predicted delinquency and marijuana use. Participants included 216 child welfare-affiliated adolescents (mean age = 18.2 years). Youth with more lifetime residences were more likely to experience unstable housing although Latino youth (compared to White, Black, or multiethnic/biracial) were less likely…
Does the source matter? Social support and suicide attempts among homeless youth
The impact of social support on suicide is understudied among youth experiencing homelessness (YEH). This is problematic because assumptions about the protectiveness of relationships may not generalize to conflictive YEH environments. This study, which included 1047 YEH, used path modeling with a logistic regression estimator to examine associations between social support from family, home-based friends, and street-based friends and past-year sui…
Self-report of health problems and health care use among maltreated and comparison adolescents
Characteristics of the Social Support Networks of Maltreated Youth
Little is known about the social support networks of maltreated youth or how youth in foster care may compare with those who remain with their parent(s). Social network characteristics and perceived social support were examined between (1) maltreated and comparison youth, (2) maltreated youth who remained with their biological parent, those with a foster parent, or a those with a kin caregiver, and (3) youth in stable placements and those who hav…
Pubertal Timing and Tempo
The present study examined pubertal timing and tempo in a sample of 445 adolescents (53% male), using both variable-centered (latent growth curve) and person-centered (latent class) approaches, to discern the pubertal development trajectories associated with the experience of maltreatment. Results from the variable-centered analyses indicated a slower initial tempo that increased later for boys who had experienced neglect. The person-centered res…
Child Maltreatment and Adolescent Development
Child abuse and neglect, often collectively called child maltreatment, are huge social problems affecting millions of children and adolescents in America. Adolescents are affected both by maltreatment which occurred during childhood with lingering effects and by maltreatment that continues into or begins in adolescence. Several decades of research indicate such maltreatment is associated with a number of mental health problems, including internal…
Pubertal Timing, Depression, and Externalizing Problems
The purpose of this report is to synthesize the existing literature on pubertal timing and (a) depression and (b) externalizing behavior within a theoretical framework of risks, transitions, and psychological development during adolescence. This review first proposes a framework for considering pubertal timing and maladaptive behavior. Next, the literature on pubertal timing and depression is discussed, followed by the literature on pubertal timi…
The Developmental Pathway from Pubertal Timing to Delinquency and Sexual Activity from Early to Late Adolescence
The Relationship Between Pubertal Timing and Delinquent Behavior in Maltreated Male and Female Adolescents
This study examined the relationship between pubertal timing and delinquent behavior across two time points in a sample of 303 maltreated and 151 comparison adolescents aged 9-13 years at enrollment. The first aim was to examine the relationship between pubertal timing and delinquency for the total sample and then to test for gender differences using multiple-group models. The second aim was to examine the interaction effect of pubertal timing an…
The measurement of menstrual symptoms
This study examined the factor structure of the Menstrual Symptom Questionnaire (MSQ) in a sample of 210 adolescent girls (11-17 years). Such an examination has not been carried out with an adolescent sample. In addition, the definitions of menstrual disorders have evolved since the creation of the MSQ. Exploratory factor analysis supported a three factor structure indicating abdominal pain, negative affect/somatic complaints, and back pain. Part…
