Impulsivity and alcohol consumption are linked to increased risky sexual behaviors, but the role of protective behavioral strategies (PBS) in this relationship is underexplored.

Examining the Moderating Role of Childhood Attachment for the Relationship between Child Sexual Abuse and Adult Attachment
Adolescent parental attachment and intimate relationship in adulthood
Working with Latinx Populations
The current political climate and larger systemic context have impacted crimes and discrimination against Latinxs in the United States. Stigmatizing rhetoric and policies not only impact those who they are targeting but can also have an impact on biases held by clinicians. To counteract these sociopolitical effects, we highlight the strengths of various Latinx cultural values of faith and religion, familismo, machismo, cabellerismo, and independe…
Racial Disparities in Arrests
Are You in, or Are You Out? Implications of Inclusion Criteria in Sexual Minority Health Disparities Research
Those who identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual are found to be at a heightened risk for problematic health outcomes, including substance use. Sexual minority identities are concealable, multidimensional, exist on a continuum, and develop fluidly. Together, these factors are important predictors of health outcomes, yet they have been neglected in the process of sample identification in health disparity research. Inclusion criteria employed when i…
Differential effects of depression and weight perception across racial groups
We examined whether there were racial difference in the how weight perception and depressive symptoms were related over time. Using the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (n = 12,269), we ran a multiple-group autoregressive crosslagged panel model. Depressive symptoms and weight perception remained consistent from adolescence to young adulthood for most of the racial groups. There was some variability across racial groups i…

Using a sample of 848 ethnically diverse couples from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study across the first 3 years of parenthood, we investigated the longitudinal and dyadic associations of each parents’ parental stress, supportive coparenting, and relationship quality. Results from an actor–partner interdependence model indicated that supportive coparenting signif…

Guided by family systems theory, we used couple data ( N = 1,778) from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study to examine the link between perceived infant negative emotionality, parenting stress, and couple relationship quality when the child was 1, 3, and 5 years. Using a latent actor–partner interdependence model, we tested dyadic direct and indirect effects for married and cohabiting couples. Parents who reported higher levels of perce…

Cultural identification influences the expectations surrounding marriage, encompassing multiple dimensions: collectivism/individualism, race, gender, and religion, among others. Many relationship conflicts are rela…
