Examining adverse life experiences, disordered eating behaviors and cognitions and weight loss treatment in Peru
Results from an LGBTQ+ Community Health Needs Assessment in Nassau and Suffolk Counties of New York State
LGBTQ+ individuals experience health care disparities and difficulty accessing affirming care. Little is known regarding the health and experiences among subpopulations of specific sexual orientations and gender identities (SOGI). We implemented the first LGBTQ + health needs assessment survey in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, New York, to assess individuals' health care experiences, behaviors, access to care, and health care needs. The sample (N =…
Lifetime trauma endorsement, posttraumatic stress disorder, and alcohol dependence as a function of sexual minority status
LGB individuals demonstrate stronger associations between lifetime trauma endorsement and AD, relative to heterosexual counterparts; however, this association may not be accounted for or moderated by nontraumatic LGB discrimination. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)

The Stony Brook Health Enhancement Program
This article describes the development of a manualized, eight-session multiple health behavior change program which addresses sleep, exercise, nutrition, substance use, and working with one's healthcare team. Our goal was to design a structured, evidence-based program that could be facilitated by a single health professional and could act as an active, credible control for mind-body intervention studies. Psychoeducational content was adapted from…
Pain-related anxiety in relation to anxiety and depression among persons living with HIV/Aids
Persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA) experience clinically significant pain as a result of HIV and such pain is often related to increased levels of anxiety/depression. Pain-related anxiety has been identified as a mechanism in the onset and progression of pain experience and associated affective distress. However, there has not been empirical study of pain-related anxiety in relation to affective processes among PLHA. To address this gap, hierarc…
Anxiety, depression, and HIV symptoms among persons living with HIV/Aids
Hazardous drinking is common among persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and associated with numerous negative health consequences. Despite the well-established negative effects of hazardous drinking among PLWHA, scholarly work has neglected to explore the role of such drinking in regard to anxiety/depressive symptoms and HIV symptom expression. The current study investigated associations between hazardous drinking and anxiety/depressive symptoms …
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and the Risk of Respiratory Problems in World Trade Center Responders
OBJECTIVE: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with high medical morbidity, but the nature of this association remains unclear. Among responders to the World Trade Center (WTC) disaster, PTSD is highly comorbid with lower respiratory symptoms (LRS), which cannot be explained by exposure alone. We sought to examine this association longitudinally to establish the direction of the effects and evaluate potential pathways to comorbidit…
The mediating role of anxiety sensitivity in the relation between avoidant coping and posttraumatic stress among trauma-exposed HIV+ individuals
The current study examined the mediating role of anxiety sensitivity in regard to the relation between avoidant coping and posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptoms among trauma-exposed persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA). Participants included 103 PLHA (18.4% female, Mage = 48.33, SD = 9.34). Results indicated significant positive indirect effects for avoidant coping through anxiety sensitivity on overall PTS symptoms (point estimate = .27, PB 95% CI …

Exploration of the Relevance of Anxiety Sensitivity among Adults Living with HIV/Aids for Understanding Anxiety Vulnerability
This investigation explored facets of anxiety sensitivity (AS-social, physical and mental concerns) in regard to somatization, anxiety and depression symptoms among people with HIV/AIDS. Significant relations were found for AS-physical concerns and somatization symptoms ( β = .52, p = .007) and AS-mental concerns and anxiety symptoms ( β = .29, p < .05), controlling for negative affectivity, gender and shared variance with other AS subscales. Tog…
The Interaction of Mindful-based Attention and Awareness and Disengagement Coping with HIV/Aids-related Stigma in regard to Concurrent Anxiety and Depressive Symptoms among Adults with HIV/Aids
This investigation examined the interaction of disengagement coping with HIV/AIDS-related stigma and mindful-based attention and awareness in regard to anxiety and depressive symptoms among people with HIV/AIDS. There was a significant interaction in regard to anxiety symptoms. Higher levels of disengagement coping paired with lower levels of mindful-based attention and awareness was related to the greatest degrees of anxiety symptoms, while lowe…
