This qualitative study examined stigma and discrimination experienced by youth and adults with TS, their caregivers, and healthcare providers through in-depth interviews with 35 participants. Thematic analysis revealed four major themes: limited resources and fu…
Developing a skill-based intervention to address social health needs of adolescents and young adults with cancer: An Orbit Phase 1 Study
BACKGROUND: Few interventions have improved social health of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer.

U.S. Federal Investment in Religiousness/Spirituality and Health Research: A Systematic Review
Objectives: Although robust associations between aspects of religiousness/spirituality (R/S) and physical health have been established, little systematic information is available about federal funding support for this area of research. To address this question, we conducted a comprehensive systematic review and analysis. Study Design: Systematic review. Methods: We used the information provided by the Federal RePORTER and searched from earliest d…

Religion, spirituality, and physical health in cancer patients: A meta‐analysis
Although religion/spirituality (R/S) is important in its own right for many cancer patients, a large body of research has examined whether R/S is also associated with better physical health outcomes. This literature has been characterized by heterogeneity in sample composition, measures of R/S, and measures of physical health. In an effort to synthesize previous findings, a meta‐analysis of the relation between R/S and patient‐reported physical h…

Spiritual Well-Being as a Component of Health-Related Quality of Life: The Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual Well-Being Scale (Facit-Sp)
The Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual Well-Being (FACIT-Sp-12) is a 12-item questionnaire that measures spiritual well-being in people with cancer and other chronic illnesses. Cancer patients, psychotherapists, and religious/spiritual experts provided input on the development of the items. It was validated with a large, ethnically diverse sample. It has been successfully used to assess spiritual well-being across a wide r…
The Link Between Religion and Spirituality and Psychological Adjustment: The Mediating Role of Optimism and Social Support
Although optimism, social support, religiousness, and spirituality are important predictors of adjustment, rarely have studies examined these variables simultaneously. This study investigated whether optimism and social support mediated the relationship between religiousness and adjustment (distress and life satisfaction) and between spirituality and adjustment. Findings indicate that the relationship between intrinsic religiousness and life sati…
Religious Orientation, Mature Faith, and Psychological Distress: Elements of Positive and Negative Associations
There are substantial data exploring the link between religiousness and health, yet there is little consensus regarding the nature of the relationship between religiousness domains and mental health. The purpose of this study was to identify the types of mental health outcomes associated with religiousness domains. Participants included 251 (M= 19.02; range = 17-25) young adults who completed self-report measures of religiousness (Intrinsic, Extr…
