The influence of posttraumatic stress on memory complaints in neuropsychological settings
Objective: Memory problems are a frequent complaint in neuropsychological settings, particularly among individuals in mid-to-late adulthood and those who have experienced neurological insult (e.g., head trauma; Bay et al., 2012; Lezak et al., 2004; Wammes et al., 2017). Neuropsychiatric comorbidities that influence cognitive functioning (e.g., depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress) are also common among neuropsychological patients, which can …
Life After Genocide
Thousands of orphaned survivors of the 1994 Rwandan Genocide against the Tutsi were not only exposed to extraordinarily severe forms of violence, but also many of these children took on the responsibility of caring and providing for other child survivors. This study describes the poverty, educational attainment, social support and mental health of orphaned heads of household (OHH) fourteen years after the genocide, and analyzes how violence expos…
Narrative characteristics of genocide testimonies predict posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms years later
Cognitive theories of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) suggest that trauma narratives that make greater use of somatosensory, perceptual, and negative emotion words may be indicators of greater risk of PTSD symptoms (Ehlers & Clark, 2000). The purpose of this study was to analyze whether the way that survivors of the 1994 Rwandan Genocide against the Tutsi naturally construct genocide testimonies predicts PTSD symptoms 6 years later. One hund…
Cervical Cancer Prevention among Latinas in a Post-HPV Vaccine World
Cervical cancer offers a salient example of how sociocultural factors such as gender, ethnicity/race, class, and attitudes toward sexuality converge to shape the risk and experience of cancer among women. This article takes a sociocultural approach in considering how increased public knowledge about human papillomavirus (HPV) may be changing the climate of cervical cancer prevention for Latinas. Specifically, it describes relevant sociocultural n…
Men's adjustment after their partners' complete treatment for localized breast cancer
Ethnicity and cancer outcomes
Cancer has been the subject of thousands of behavioral and psychosocial studies. The literature has focused largely on non-Hispanic Whites, despite the fact that cancer outcomes vary by ethnicity. This article provides a review of those studies that do consider the relations between ethnicity and cancer-related adherence behaviors, survival, and quality of life. The authors propose a mediational framework that links ethnicity and cancer outcomes …
Comparison of conditional quality of life terminology and visual analogue scale measurements
The effect of message framing on breast self-examination attitudes, intentions, and behavior
Sex-role stereotypes
Psychosocial correlates of breast cancer and its treatments
A discussion of variables within medical centers which influence community involvement
This paper proposes that prior to developing community mental health programs in established medical centers it would be beneficial to examine the institution in which the programs must exist. Four variables which were found to be of particular importance are discussed with an emphasis placed on viewing each variable in its historical perspective. Two large medical complexes in the Los Angeles metropolitan area are compared on each of the four va…
