Exploring the influence of cultural identity on mental health and cultural stress in Puerto Rican Hurricane Maria surviving families
Can adolescent hope buffer against the adverse effects of youth and parent cultural stress on Latinx youths’ adjustment outcomes
Latinx youth and their parents can experience cultural stress-a constellation of interrelated stressors Latinx youth and parents experience based on racism, xenophobia, and the navigation of bicultural contexts. Notably, cultural stress Latinx youth and parents experience can compromise the emotional (i.e., depressive symptoms and self-esteem) and behavioral (i.e., aggressive behavior, alcohol and tobacco use) well-being of youth. However, not al…

Extending the Knowledge Gap Hypothesis to Narrative Persuasion
The gap in knowledge and information-seeking between high and low socioeconomic status (SES) has been well documented. This study extends this knowledge gap hypothesis to narrative persuasion in the context of parents’ knowledge and information-seeking intention concerning adolescents’ COVID-19 vaccination. It specifically tests if the gap is moderated by a message type (narrative vs. non-narrative). An online quasi-experiment, with a 2 (particip…
How do family adversity and youth stressful experiences lead to adult economic adversity? An integration of multiple life course mechanisms
The primary objective of the present study was to apply multiple life course mechanisms, drawn from the life course epidemiological perspective, to explain the long-term influence of family socioeconomic adversity and adolescent stressful life events on adult economic adversity. The study used prospective data over 13 years from 11,075 adolescents from the Adolescent to Adult Health Study (Add Health). First, we developed a comprehensive life cou…
Factor Structure and Measurement Invariance of the Cultural Attitudes Toward Healthcare and Mental Illness Questionnaire Among Latino Sexual Minority Men
Mental health disparities among Latino sexual minority men (LSMM) are exacerbated by un(der)treated mental health needs. This study sought to establish the factor structure of the Cultural Attitudes Toward Healthcare and Mental Illness Questionnaire (CAHMIQ) and examine measurement invariance across nativity (born in vs. outside the continental U.S.). Participants included 290 LSMM in South Florida. Confirmatory factor analysis examined the facto…
Longitudinal findings of a U.S. preventive evidence-based family intervention tested among youth in Ecuador
Interventions that address adolescent conduct problems are essential for decreasing negative risk behaviors and promoting positive protective factors among youth. Although interventions have been developed and tested in the United States, preventive evidence-based interventions (EBIs) are less available in Latin American countries such as Ecuador. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of an evidence-based, parent-cente…
Trajectories of Drug Use and Depressive Symptoms among Latinx Youth and Sexual Minority Youth
Drug use and depression co-occur and disproportionately affect Latinx sexual minority youth relative to their heterosexual Latinx peers. However, heterogeneity in co-occurring patterns of drug use and depressive symptoms is unknown. The objective of the current study was to identify patterns of drug use and depressive symptom trajectories and examine how these patterns varied between Latinx sexual minority youth and Latinx non-sexual minority you…
The Intergenerational Impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences on Hispanic Families
Parental exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) has been documented as a strong risk factor for subsequent externalizing behaviors in their youth. Although studies have investigated ACEs and their intergenerational association with youth externalizing behaviors, this association has not been investigated in Hispanic families. Additionally, substantial gaps in the literature exist explaining the mechanisms by which this association occur…
Patterns of Co-occurring Developmental Failures in Adolescence
9,107; mean age = 15.5 years; Female = 52.9 per cent) were used to identify classes of early socioeconomic adversity and conjoint trajectory groups of co-occurring developmental problems. Profiles of social antecedents, genetic endowments (polygenic scores), and physical health outcomes in young adulthood were compared across identified four conjoint trajectory risk groups (overall high-risk, overall low-risk, BMI-risk or obesity, low education-r…
Long‐Term Physical Health Consequences of Financial and Marital Stress in Middle‐Aged Couples
OBJECTIVE: To examine psychological health as a mechanism linking economic pressure and marital instability in the early middle years to poor physical health in later life. BACKGROUND: Although previous research suggests that sustained stressful marital experience may lead to mental and physical health problems, little is known about how contextual factors, such as economic pressure, impact marital outcomes, and how changes in marital attributes …
The family crisis migration stress framework
Crisis migration refers to displacement of large numbers of individuals and families from their home countries due to wars, dictatorial governments, and other critical hazards (e.g., hurricanes). Although crisis migration can adversely influence direct and indirect effects on the mental health of adults and their children collectively as families, there is a deficiency in theory that addresses family level processes in this crisis migration conte…
Maternal and infant antiretroviral therapy adherence among women living with HIV in rural South Africa
‘Mother-to-child transmission of HIV’ can occur during the period of pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. ‘Prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV’ (PMTCT) in Mpumalanga Province, South Africa, is especially vital as the prevalence of HIV is 28.2% in women aged 15–49. PMTCT interventions resulted in a drop of MTCT rates in Mpumalanga from ∼2% in 2015 to 1.3% in 2016. This randomised controlled trial in Mpumalanga examined the potent…
Dynamic Transition Patterns in Acculturation Among Hispanic Adolescents
Acculturation consists of multiple domains (i.e., cultural practices, identifications, and values). However, less is known about how acculturation processes influence each other across multiple domains of acculturation. This study was designed to investigate transition patterns of acculturative processes within and across domains in a sample of 302 recent-immigrant Hispanic adolescents, Mage (SD) = 14.51 years (0.88) at baseline; male = 53%). Ado…
Assessing Community Readiness for Preventing Youth Substance Use in Colombia
Predictors of Participant Attendance Patterns in a Family-Based Intervention for Overweight and Obese Hispanic Adolescents
This study examined participant attendance patterns and individual (e.g., income), family dynamics (e.g., communication), and cultural (i.e., Americanism, Hispanicism) predictors of these patterns among Hispanic families enrolled in a 12-week family-based intervention, Familias Unidas for Health and Wellness. Hispanic adolescents ( n = 140, 49% female, 13.04 ± 0.87 years old, 36% overweight, 64% obese, 39% immigrants) and their parents (87% femal…
Sexual risk behaviour among HIV-infected women in the first twelve months after delivery in South Africa
This study aimed to assess sexual risk behaviour and its social correlates in HIV-infected women living in rural South Africa at six and twelve months post-partum. Participants were 699 HIV-positive women recruited prenatally by systematic sampling from twelve community health centres in Mpumalanga province, South Africa (mean age = 28.4 years, SD = 5.7; married =41.1%; serodiscordant or unknown partner status = 74.9%). They self-reported on thei…

Parent-Centered Prevention of Risky Behaviors Among Hispanic Youths in Florida
Objectives. To evaluate the effectiveness of an evidence-based, parent-centered intervention, Familias Unidas, delivered by nonresearch personnel, in preventing substance use (alcohol, illicit drugs) and sex without a condom among Hispanic adolescents. Methods. A randomized controlled trial (n = 746) evaluated the effectiveness of Familias Unidas among Hispanic eighth graders (age range = 12–16 years), relative to prevention as usual, within a pu…
