A Longitudinal Ecologic Analysis of Neighborhood-Level Social Inequalities in Health in Texas
Most health studies use cross-sectional data to examine neighborhood context because of the difficulty of collecting and analyzing longitudinal data; this prevents an examination of historical trends that may influence health outcomes. Using the Neighborhood Change Database, we categorized longitudinal (1990-2010) poverty and White concentration trajectories (long-term low, long-term moderate, long-term high, increasing, or decreasing) for Texas …
Neighborhood Racial and Ethnic Segregation and Obesity
From Marginalized to Strength
This study, with research questions guided by the socio-ecological model, examined how ethnic minority older adults with limited English proficiency navigate cultural and language barriers in their daily lives, relationships, and healthcare interactions, and what challenges and strategies emerge in their efforts while living in the U.S. Individual in-depth interviews with Korean American older adults with limited English proficiency and chronic m…
The Cognitive Health Risk of Social Isolation Mediated by Dietary Risks
Our findings suggest that the negative impact of social isolation on cognitive health is through its role in dietary habits and practice. Findings helped our understanding of how social isolation yields cognitive health risks and called attention to dietary risks in cognitive health promotion efforts. Targeted approaches should be taken for older immigrants who are socially isolated

Neighborhood Diversity Is Good for Your Health
Racial concentration of neighborhoods is often associated with the risk of preterm birth (PTB) for women. This study examined differences between racially diverse and racially concentrated neighborhoods when examining preterm birth. Individual-level data were obtained from Texas natality files for 2009-2011, and neighborhood-level (i.e., census tract) data were obtained from the decennial census in 2010 and the American Community Survey 2005-2009…
Adolescents with substance use referred to child protective services
Adolescent substance use has been linked to several negative outcomes, which can be exacerbated by exposure to adversity such as child maltreatment. However, few studies have examined the intersection of adolescent substance use and child protective service (CPS) involvement. This study examined the relationship between substance use treatment and entries into foster care among adolescents referred to CPS for maltreatment. Data for this study cam…
An Association of Adverse Childhood Experiences with Binge Drinking in Adulthood
Background: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are a major public health issue linked to negative health outcomes. Yet, few recent studies drawing on national data have examined the association between ACEs and binge drinking. Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the association between ACEs and binge drinking among adults in the United States and whether this association is dependent on sex. Methods: Data for this study were o…
County-Level Economic Changes and Drug Mortality in the United States
We aimed at examining whether county-level economic changes were associated with changes in county-level drug mortality rates since the Great Recession and whether the association is equally distributed across major sociodemographic subgroups. Using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Wide-Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (2004-2019), combined with census data, we conducted fixed effects analyses by including county-lev…
Trends of Substance Use among Individuals with Cardiovascular Disease in the United States, 2015–2019
Despite the adverse effects of substance use on health among individuals with preexisting cardiovascular disease (CVD), little is known about trends and correlates for substance use among individuals with CVD. We examined trends of use in tobacco, alcohol, and cannabis among US adults with heart disease. Using nationally representative data from the 2015-2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (N = 7339), we conducted survey-adjusted logistic…

Housing Instability and Depression among US Mothers Following a Nonmarital Birth
Mothers who had a nonmarital birth experience multiple risk factors for depression, including housing instability. Yet, important questions remain about the extent of long-term housing instability and its association with future depression among at-risk mothers. Using the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study data, we examine cumulative housing instability over a 15-year period following nonmarital birth and its association with maternal dep…
Association between First Sexual Intercourse and Sexual Violence Victimization, Symptoms of Depression, and Suicidal Behaviors among Adolescents in the United States
The objective of this study was to investigate the association between first sexual intercourse and sexual violence victimization, symptoms of depression, and suicidal ideation among sexually active adolescents in the United States. Data for this study came from the U.S. 2017 and 2019 iterations of the National Youth Risk Behavior Survey. An analytic sample of 6252 adolescents aged 14-18 years old (49.5% female) who reported ever having sexual in…

Proximal Social Determinants of Adolescents' Health
Adolescent health has a significant influence as individuals transition to adulthood and can have lifelong effects on well-being. In addition to well-established structural determinants of health such as racism and poverty, proximal determinants of adolescent health illuminate on the health effects of the daily circumstances of adolescents. Guided by the proximal determinants of adolescent health theory, we examined the association between adoles…
Factors Influencing Gateway Providers’ Confidence in Helping People with Mental Illness
Low mental health service utilization among vulnerable groups with mental health needs has been an ongoing public health concern. Guided by the Gateway Provider Model, this study focuses on public housing employees, a unique gateway provider group, who are within close proximity with public housing residents, a vulnerable group who may experience more psychological distress and mental illness. The present study examined the relationships of menta…
The Role of the Neighborhood Social Environment in Physical Activity among Hispanic Children
Little is known about how the neighborhood social environment (e.g., safety, crime, traffic) impacts child physical activity. We examine the mechanism by which the neighborhood social environment is associated with child physical activity, moderated by individual-level cultural factors (e.g., language at home, immigrant generation) and mediated by neighborhood physical activity-related social norms (e.g., seeing walkers in the neighborhood). Data…

Factors Associated With Substance Use Disorders Among Traumatized Homeless Youth
This study aimed to identify homeless youths’ lifestyle and trauma-related risk factors as well as protective factors associated with alcohol use disorder or no disorder and drug use disorder or no disorder. Youth receiving homeless services in Denver (n = 201), Austin (n = 200), and Los Angeles (n = 200; N = 601) completed quantitative interviews assessing demographic information, alcohol and drug use, homeless lifestyle risk factors, trauma-rel…
