Prevalence and Correlates of Condom Use Resistance Among Men Who Have Sex with Men Reporting Recent Heavy Alcohol Use and Condomless Sex
Condom use resistance (CUR) involves use of coercive and non-coercive tactics to persuade a sexual partner who wants to use a condom to forgo use. Given that limited research has explored use of CUR tactics among men who have sex with men (MSM), the present study sought to estimate the prevalence and correlates of CUR among MSM. Participants (N = 261 MSM reporting recent heavy alcohol use and condomless anal sex) completed measures assessing CUR …

A Narrative Review of Sexual Aggression Perpetration in Non-Heterosexual Populations
Sexual aggression (SA) perpetration poses a significant threat to public health and safety. Despite increased attention toward prevention of SA perpetration, empirical research and prevention programming have focused primarily on perpetration by cisgender men against cisgender women. This heteronormative framework neglects the needs of non-heterosexual populations who experience elevated rates of SA victimization and likely compounds existing ine…
Mom, Dad, and Me
The current study explores the complex interactions between an individual's personality, perception of parenting styles, and morality including moral identity and responses to guilt and shame. Specifically, the study investigated the effects of the individual's perception of warm and cold parenting traits for both mothers and fathers on guilt, shame proneness, and moral identity and whether personality moderates any of these relationships.

One hundred and eleven articles were included in the review and from…

Impacts of Covid-19-related social distancing measures on personal environmental sound exposures
The COVID-19 pandemic has created substantial and dynamic disruptions in society, personal behavior, and potentially chronic sound exposures, which are associated with hearing loss, cardiovascular disease, and other health impacts. Leveraging preliminary data from our unique nationwide Apple Hearing Study, we explored changes in personal sound exposures resulting from COVID-19-related social distancing. Volunteer participants opted to share envir…
Provider Perspectives on Stressors, Support, and Access to Mental Health Care for Latinx Youth
Despite risk for mental health difficulties, Latinx youth have among the lowest rates of mental health care utilization. With this study, we contribute to our ongoing community-based participatory research (CBPR) efforts to explore stressors and protective factors experienced by low-socioeconomic status (SES) Latinx youth, and how these factors influence mental health care utilization. We interviewed community providers and stakeholders ( N = 11)…
Health Assessment of Electronic Waste Workers in Chile
Little research has been done to evaluate the occupational health of electronic waste (e-waste) recycling workers in Latin America. The objective of this study was to complete comprehensive health evaluations on e-waste recycling workers in Chile and to compare those that work in informal (i.e., independent) to those that work in formal (i.e., established company) settings. A cross-sectional study in the summer of 2017 recruited 78 informal recyc…
Cost-effectiveness of a statewide public health intervention to reduce cardiovascular disease risk
A community-based CVD intervention demonstrated to reduce CVD risk is cost-effective. This suggests that population-based public health programs may have the potential to complement primary care preventative services to improve health and reduce the burden of traditional medical care
Differences in Life‐Saving Obstetric Hemorrhage Treatments for Women with Abortion Versus Nonabortion Etiologies in Tanzania
Complications from unsafe abortion are among the major causes of preventable maternal morbidity and mortality, which may be compounded by delays and disparities in treatment. We conducted a secondary analysis of women with symptoms of hypovolemic shock secondary to severe obstetric hemorrhage in Tanzania. We compared receipt of three lifesaving interventions among women with abortions versus other maternal hemorrhage etiologies. Interventions inc…

Product reformulation and nutritional improvements after new competitive food standards in schools
Objective In 2012, Massachusetts enacted school competitive food and beverage standards similar to national Smart Snacks. These standards aim to improve the nutritional quality of competitive snacks. It was previously demonstrated that a majority of foods and beverages were compliant with the standards, but it was unknown whether food manufacturers reformulated products in response to the standards. The present study assessed whether products wer…
How do we actually put smarter snacks in schools? Nourish (Nutrition Opportunities to Understand Reforms Involving Student Health) conversations with food-service directors
Objective In autumn 2012, Massachusetts schools implemented comprehensive competitive food and beverage standards similar to the US Department of Agriculture’s Smart Snacks in School standards. We explored major themes raised by food-service directors (FSD) regarding their school-district-wide implementation of the standards. Design For this qualitative study, part of a larger mixed-methods study, compliance was measured via direct observation of…
Impact of Nutrition Standards on Competitive Food Quality in Massachusetts Middle and High Schools
Objectives. To examine changes in competitive foods (items sold in à la carte lines, vending machines, and school stores that “compete” with school meals) in Massachusetts middle and high schools before and after implementation of a statewide nutrition law in 2012. Methods. We photographed n = 10 782 competitive foods and beverages in 36 Massachusetts school districts and 7 control state districts to determine availability and compliance with the…
Explaining the intention-behaviour gap in gluten-free diet adherence
Adherence to a strict gluten-free diet is the only treatment for coeliac disease. Nonetheless, many individuals with the disease struggle to achieve and maintain strict adherence. While the theory of planned behaviour is useful for predicting gluten-free diet adherence, an intention-behaviour gap remains. The aim of this study was to investigate the roles of habit and perceived behavioural control in moderating the intention-behaviour relationshi…
Substantive Religious Representation in the U.S. Senate
Studies of representation are widespread in the congressional literature, with recent work focusing on both descriptive and substantive representation of various minority groups. The authors focus on religious representation in Congress, examining the extent to which senators’ own religious affiliation and the relative size of their religious constituencies affect substantive representation of Religious Right interests. The authors find that Chri…
Belonging, Believing, and Group Behavior
The authors examine the effect of religiosity on intended and recalled voter turnout in presidential elections. They argue that the trade-off between time spent in worship and time spent in political activities, specifically voter turnout, is strongest for mainline Protestants, weaker for Catholics, and nonexistent for evangelical Protestants. Evangelical Protestants increasingly recognize the connection between their religious beliefs and politi…

We are getting there slowly’
Prior to the subtraction of Section 28 from the 1988 Local Government Act in 2003, a substantial amount of research was published that specifically examined the experiences of lesbian physical education (PE) teachers. This article contributes to the existing academic literature by exploring the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual teachers working in a post-Section 28 school environment. Drawing on life history interviews of two lesbia…

Alpha Asymmetry in Female Military Spouses Following Deployment
In the present investigation the authors incorporate a social/affective neuroscience approach to assess the relationship between deployment and electrical brain activity of women married to service members. In particular, the researchers examined influences associated with alpha asymmetry over the frontal cortex. Results suggest that length of time since returning from deployment and symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder are associated with g…
The Cultural Conceptions of Dengue Fever in the Cayo District of Belize
In Belize, dengue fever has continuously been the focus of many public health interventions since its reemergence into the country in the 1970s. Belize has a relatively low annual number of dengue fever cases; however, outbreaks have greatly risen in recent years. Dengue fever is a complex disease; attempts to prevent and control its spread often fail to recognize how it is culturally conceptualized. This paper incorporates quantitative research …
