Ecological momentary assessment of physical symptoms among patients with a history of Covid-19 infection
OBJECTIVE: This project used ecological momentary assessment (EMA) in adults with a previous COVID-19 infection to examine the association of long covid with physical symptoms and the association of contextual factors with physical symptoms among adults with long covid. METHOD: = 121) completed survey questions about COVID-19 history, long covid and mental and physical health followed by 7-days of EMA. During EMA, participants reported on physica…
Pathways from cultural and economic stressors to mental and behavioral health risks in Hispanic youth
1.29; 73% female). We modeled cultural stress as a latent construct composed of discrimination, negative context of reception, bicultural stress, within-group discrimination, and immigration-related stress. Economic stressor was marginally and directly associated with past-month cannabis use and tobacco use and was significantly indirectly linked with depressive symptoms through perceived stress. Cultural stressors, alongside economic stress, pre…
Development of the Multidimensional Inventory of Cultural Stress Measure for Hispanic/Latine Adolescents
The present study provides preliminary evidence for validity of the Multidimensional Inventory of Cultural Stress (MICS), a measure of cultural stress developed to expand existing conceptualizations of cultural stress. The participants were 309 Hispanic/Latine adolescents (60.2% female; M age = 15.30 years). Exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) revealed a four-factor solution: exclusionary political climate (i.e., perception of anti-im…
Peer E-Cigarette and Cannabis Use and Adolescent Anxiety
Objective Adolescents are typically motivated to conform to peer influence, including substance use behaviors, and it is likely that adolescents who deviate from their peers’ substance use behaviors might experience stress and anxiety.Method A mixed-methods approach was utilized to examine the relationship between peer e-cigarette and cannabis use and symptoms of generalized anxiety among a diverse sample of 12th grade students in Los Angeles Cou…
Racial Trauma among Multi-Ethnic Minority Young Adults Affects Nicotine, Alcohol, and Cannabis Use Differently than among Mono-Ethnic Minority Young Adults
Introduction Americans who identify as “Two or More Races” are one of the fastest-growing racial/ethnic minority groups. More research is needed on the intricate and core life experiences that influence psychological health and related behaviors of these individuals. In this study, we use a sample of racial/ethnic minority young adults (REMYA) to examine how perceived racial trauma and psychological well-being (PWB) influence substance use, as me…
Validating the satisfaction with life scale among early adolescents
The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) has been extensively validated using Classical Test Theory, mostly relying on factor analytic methods among adult samples. The current study used Item Response Theory to validate SWLS among a sample of early adolescents in California and examine associations between SWLS and tobacco and cannabis use. Data were collected from ninth-grade students ( N = 2552) attending 10 public high schools in Los Angeles, C…
Associations Between Cultural Stress and Normative Stress and Daily Depressive Symptoms Among Hispanic College Students
The prevalence of internalizing symptoms among Hispanic college students is increasing at alarming rates and cultural stress is increasingly being studied as a contributor to these adverse outcomes. Despite the emerging literature examining the impact of cultural stress on Hispanic student mental health, few studies have examined the role of parent-child communication as a mediator in these associations. This study examined the associations of cu…
Denial of Personal Racial Discrimination and Its Impact Among People of Color Who Use Substances
Background Even though racism is pervasive, some people of color may deny experiencing racial discrimination or may report being unaffected by it. This study examines the contexts and factors that may contribute to these responses among people who use substances. Methods We conducted seven focus groups (5-9 participants per group, total N = 43) among Black, Latino, and Asian American adults between the ages of 21 to 44 years old who reported curr…
Proximity to Cannabis Retailers and Recent Cannabis Use among a Diverse Sample of California Adolescents
Background: As of May 2023, 23 states and Washington, DC have legalized the sale of cannabis for adults aged 21+, and 38 states, three territories, and D.C. have legalized medical cannabis. Exposure to cannabis retailers could increase adolescent cannabis use. Few studies have examined the impact of residential proximity to cannabis retailers on adolescent cannabis use, and previous findings are inconsistent. Methods: This study examined associat…
Contextualizing experiences of cultural stress
Cultural stressors are dynamic and diverse. This study further informs cultural stress theory by cataloging how families' immigration history and national current events inform experiences of stress among youth. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
Evaluation of a Covid-19 rapid antigen testing program among student athletes in a public high school district
Trust in science and scientists among university students, staff, and faculty of a large, diverse university in Los Angeles during the Covid-19 pandemic, the Trojan Pandemic Response Initiative
Despite the setting of a major research University, trust in science is highly variable. This study identifies characteristics that could be used to target and curate educational campaigns and university policies to address the COVID19 and future pandemics
Characteristics associated with attitudes and behaviors towards mask wearing during the Covid-19 pandemic
Race and ethnicity, political affiliation, and division may affect attitudes and behaviors in mask wearing. Further investigation into how characteristics influence public health measures such as mask wearing is needed to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus, other infectious diseases, and future pandemics
Perceived negative political climate among Hispanic/Latino adolescents before and after the 2020 U.S. presidential election
Cultural Stress Profiles
Youth of immigrant origin vary across their families' migration history (e.g., country of heritage, reasons for migration, etc.) and in the communities in which they reside. As such, these youth are often faced with different cultural and immigrant stressors. Although prior research documented the detrimental impact of cultural and immigrant stressors, variable-centered approaches fail to account for the fact that these stressors often co-occur. …
Evaluation of a Covid ‐19 Rapid Antigen Testing Program in a Supervised Community Distance Learning Setting for K‐8 Students
BACKGROUND: School-based COVID-19 testing is a potential strategy to limit COVID-19 transmission among youth in congregate settings such as schools, sports programs, and summer camps. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of frequent rapid antigen testing at a supervised distance-learning setting for elementary and middle school children while their schools were closed. METHODS: This evaluation examines partic…

Offshore Finfish Aquaculture in the United States
Half of the world's edible seafood comes from aquaculture, and the United States (US) government is working to develop an offshore finfish aquaculture industry in federal waters. To date, US aquaculture has largely been regulated at the state level, and creating an offshore aquaculture industry will require the development of a new regulatory structure. Some aquaculture practices involve hazardous working conditions and the use of veterinary drug…
